I'll just buy Zelda on Wii U and get the $250 Mario bundle on Black Friday.
Looking at the rest of their pricing structure I am expecting the same as for Live/Plus.

I was actually pretty excited at the idea of having all Nintendo software on one device, now it just feels like Nintendo killed off the dedicated handheld for an idea that the market will want little to do with. This really is a successor to the WiiU and not the 3DS.
Wii and WiiU don't have them either
I'm in for the inevitable Dan on the street battery test

It's like using Skype to communicate in Monster Hunter 3 Wii, but the official not a joke solution for voice chat in 2017 nearly 15 years after xbox live.
And yet I'm refreshing Amazon to preorder this.

It looks like it's more than that because Nintendo has a video on their site where Bowser is using a mobile phone to change the console Parental Settings. Seems kinda weird?

So the Switch
If you dont include the controllers or the dock
Costs what, 100 by itself?

Yeah, I don't know that I really need Nintendo consoles anymore. I'm good playing Mario Maker until I die.

I dig it.
Plus, if you already have a Wii U, you can play their big launch game there too.
Will grab the Switch when that incredible looking 3D Mario game comes out

Hah, they're making insane margins on those accessories. The dock probably costs a few dollars to make.

So far what we know
It costs to use their online multiplayer
The "free" games are monthly rentals
Voice chat through your phone
2-6 hour portable time
About ps3/360 style specs
32 gigs included
$300
Hmmm. I mean, the mario game looks neat?
Yeah. Its funny that they touted the whole social aspect of playing with friends...but then they price the controllers at nearly $100 dollars. And itll cost you extra if you want to recharge them LOL

The Joy-Cons and dock don't actually cost $100 to make each. Just like a PS4 and Xbox One controller don't cost $60 to make. Accessories have always been a way to generate extra revenue.

And there's that Atlus game that probably releases in English in 2020 and probably gets ported to other platforms.

I know they dont actually cost that. Just deducting the msrp to see how much it would cost to but the switch by itself.
50 less than a PS4 Pro! The pricing is bonkers!
Yes.

This analogy is confusing. Are they playing baseball? How do you hit for a 6?

Capacitive touch and It wasn't actually official until the stream! I can't help but wonder if this wasn't positioned as an Android table that also does games if it wouldn't be getting received so poorly.
I feel like, in some ways, them getting super lucky with the Wii was probably the worst thing that could happen in the long run... They are completely delusional.
That tablet running Android would actually be a major upgrade

was the Wii U the Saturn? This is their Dreamcast, without the amazing games.

I guess that would be more befitting.
If you hit over the rope without it bouncing it's a 6.
It was also cheaper.
Real talk though:
Not gonna play Nintendo games online
Not gonna use voice chat on this thing
2-6 hours is what I get on my iPad
PS3/360 is probably more powerful then my iPad, idk.
I can fit a lot nes/snes games on 32 gigs
As someone who plays a lot of games in my iPad, the only thing the switch needs to do to win me over is have better games and better controls.
I would freely play $300 for a switch if it came with Zelda..... $360 for the switch plus game is harder to swallow.
I will probably be buying this as a replacement for gaming on my iPad.
