I want it because it's a Nintendo player. It'll have the next smash, the next splatoon, the next mario kart, etc -- The only way they could dissuade me from getting it is if it had super gimmicky controls (like Wii, which completely alienated me).

And it doesn't
You never played the Wii???=O

WTF???:(

I had one for like a week. I hated it and sold it on ebay. HATED. IT.

terrible controls aside (I don't want to move my hands) the low resolution and shit graphics were just untenable at that point

I thought Sakurai didn't want to make another Smash? I don't like Splatoon nor Mario Kart

there'll be another one.. let's not fool ourselves

also zelda -- and maybe a metroid (who knows)
 
I actually think the wii's poor graphics were one of its strengths as a novelty console. It meant if you wanted to try something interesting with the Wii remotes then there wasn't a significant investment.

That said, nobody ever did anything worthwhile with it despite thousands of people trying.

Zelda is on Wii U. I'm not buying a new console for very slightly better graphics. Smash, if it comes, is super super far away.

Neither of those seem like good things.

I'm probably super biased by my personal dismissal of mobile games and my despising working on Tegra hardware, but I'm also having a hard time thinking of a single person I know IRL who would want this.

If you don't like Nintendo software,
then it won't be for your demographic.

Though people that love Nintendo games on both console and handheld only have to buy 1 device now.
It'll also bring both their audiences to 1 platform.

Heck, some people will never use it as a handheld and just leave it hooked to the TV.
They may never buy any of the handheld games and just buy the traditional console ones.
And vice versa.
Also, their handhelds have decent 3rd party support.

Still, have to see the design.

TBH the graphics didn't bother me, sure I would go for a superior multiplat over the Wii version, definitely a PC one as I'm mainly a PC gamer, but hey, as long as the games were good, it didn't matter too much though the original Xbox being HD and not the Wii was kinda funny.

It's a Nintendo player -- So I know I'll need it sooner or later, plus we can probably divine that it's unlikely to drop dramatically in price for a long ass time because Nintendo is Nintendo. May as well just get it.

I'm sorry but we can't be friends anymore

Did you dye your hair blue?

Totally random, but this is my house. From a couple of months ago.

The twist: the house in the distance is my neighbors. That's just my yard.

Last Gen I was PC, Wii and PS3...
Still, mostly PC. :p
I was mostly PC, but also did a lot of gaming on 360, PS3 and Wii.

Wii got less time because I mainly played exclusives on it and not enough multiplats compared to the other systems.

I bought a Wii to play Mario Galaxy and monkey around with Wii sports.

It's been a shitty Netflix player for my bedroom for years.

I think I'm addicted to flavored seltzer. I have't drunk soda in about five years now but I recently started drinking seltzer. Black cherry is GOAT so far. Peach is really good too. I got some Tangerine Limeade flavor today

The Wii is probably the worst console I've ever bought. Without the Galaxy games, it is straight trash

I played a lot of Wii Sports when it came out.
Played with friends that weren't gamers too...
Especially the bowling. :p

Think I spent more time on the Wii than my PS3, as multiplats were on the PC.
Though I did play a lot of PS1 and PS2 games on the PS3. :p

I wish I had a PS3 that played PS2 games, though I hear about the YLOD on early PS3 models.

Worst Smash, worst Mario Kart, worst Zelda (SS), no Metroid, garbage technical capabilities and online service, imprecise pointer controls, no third party support. Once the novelty wore off you're left with the worst Nintendo console off all time.

Conversely, the Wii U is awesome in spite of its failure

I liked all of those games aside from Mario Kart, and Metroid Prime 3 exists and is one of my favorite games. :( It had the best version of Resident Evil 4, the Resident Evil Chronicles games, the Mario Galaxies, No More Heroes, Fire Emblem 10... so many games I liked.

Oh god you're right. I forgot about MP3. I remember hating it from the little I played. Metroid Prime is an all time classic to me. MP2 is good. MP3 = sadness

Metroid Other Mist (Mist= German for trash).

Should I make a Tinder account? I'm hitting rock bottom with my loneliness again and euphoric rush I had two weeks ago is almost gone. I feel like an anxious piece of shit again...

Can't believe my last fave Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, came out 12 years ago... :|

While I am a very charming person (on my good days), you're gonna want more reasons to visit Seattle than just me, haha.

(That said, it's a lovely city.)

Well, I always wanted to throw shit at the Nintendo hq for being a worthless piece of shit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My mams been sectioned, and...I just don't know what to do. She blames us for it. She has an addiction to her tablet and Facebook. I went to see her tonight and she kicked off because it weren't working. All the family came round as she was proper going mad. She even called the police on account of us not letting her on the web. Theu came and detained her under the mental health act, and an ambulance was called, who said they're sectioning her.
