I agree. It would be awful because Nintendo characters lack the personality and vocabulary that Disney characters have (and FF characters too for that matter), for one thing.
Really though, why does Nintendo need to horn into a long running and successful IP by injecting their characters into it?
I know the rumor is that there might be two sku's but does anyone else think it might be better if there is just one? Look what happened with Wii U. Yes there was the cheaper basic version but almost everyone bought the Deluxe bundle instead.

The story for Super Mario 3d Run writes itself practically.
He can't save Peach anymore because that's diminishing, so he's a former drug dealer who had an epiphany and now seeks to run away from the prison where was locked up by Bowser who has now become the president of USMexico Mushroom Republic. And the whole game he's always on the run, sometimes along a yuge wall that never ends.
Meanwhile Peach is a revolutionary and a painter who fights for freedom in the Mushroom Kingdom. She doesn't have to run because she can fight.
At the end of the game
she marries Daisy and they adopt Luigi who finally gets the love who deserve and never had while Mario keeps on running haunted by his mistakes of the pasts - stealing Luigi's well deserved thunder
So... going back to the idea of not having a Deluxe model. That would put us in an awkward spot in terms of memory. Isn't the rumor pegging this as being a 32Gb console? Anyone have thoughts on this?

I think it would be better for there just to be one SKU but if that were the case, Nintendo wouldn't be able to tout the console at the lowest price point possible which they most likely want to do.

We've vaguely discussed this, but I definitely agree with you now. The Wii-U showed that you can absolutely kill one SKU by having the other be dramatically better. Having a pack-in game, higher memory, and the DDP with the deluxe Wii-U for an extra $50 just made too much sense. I'm firmly on team one SKU now.
Another interesting point! So far we haven't heard of anything that sounds like a pack-in that's on par with Wii sports or Nintendoland. Maybe they'll surprise us?
Is anyone willing to doll up my avatar by putting the Switch puppy face over the current face Charizard has? I'm ready to ride this hype train to hell and back!
Capcom's internal fighting game teams are busy enough with Street Fighter V & Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. They could outsource NvC to Eighting, but I think they're busy with some VR fighting game.
She did clarify later that it could just potentially be a bundle exclusive/sold by GAME instead of having Splatoon be a pack-in. Splatoon makes sense a lot more sense as a bundle game than a pack-in game to me.
But that's gonna be a repeat of the Wii U situation. If the deluxe has more memory and a game, no one's gonna want to buy the cheaper bundle for $50 less.

My point is if plans have changed and there's only one SKU now, it wouldn't be unprecedented for Nintendo to include a pack-in game with that single model.
I think Nintendo should only offer one SKU at launch, pack-in or not. Nintendo doesn't need two SKUs and what tends to happen is everyone wants the "Deluxe" model and no one wants the "Basic".

Pokemon Hunter is not the good idea. I said it and i'll say it again >> Monster Hunter X Final Fantasy = 4 million in japan guaranteed!
Nintendo can make it happen. They can make so many things happen. They should really be putting their effort in enchanting their offer for Japanese gaming fans.
Also i always thought a Megaman x Metroid 2d sidescroller would be interesting.
That also brings up another question. If Nintendo later opted to do only one bundle, will that one bundle have the internal memory of the Deluxe Bundle, or would they go with the 32GB of the Basic Bundle?

They made FF Explorers which didn't do too well, but I guess it's also not made by the MH team.
I think some MH quests in BoTW might do well. Kind of like MGS Peace Walker
Blizzard announcing an unprecedented partnership with Nintendo. Diablo 3 will be coming to the Switch (port already done), with Blizzard and Nintendo working collaboratively to get Overwatch on the switch by this summer.

It is worth noting that hardware manufacturers like to charge a premium for flash memory. There's $100 difference between different iPhone models based solely on included memory. Products like the Microsoft Surface have an equal price jump. I'm honestly not confident that Nintendo would offer more than 32Gb at the rumored $250 price tag.
real curious how the general public takes to this. I still feel like it's too expensive for a handheld and too expensive compared to the console competition, but we'll see.
