Them: Switch is the weakest console
You: Doesn't matter the Switch is a handheld
Them: Switch has an abysmal launch line up
You: Doesn't matter the Switch is a console
How can you contradict yourself within two bullet points and not even notice?

Honestly? Only Zelda, nothing else is even worth buying, really.

Splatoon will get delayed until Fall and Mario will get delayed until 2018. It's the Nintendo way. Also after launch look forward to a Nintendo statement apologizing for launch droughts and how they've learned their lesson. They've done it for the last 4 fucking systems.
Well, at least they will be selling 90$ docks to plug into a second tv in your house, so that is a new nightmare they created for us!

Oh. $300 with only Zelda as a title 100% worth picking up? Zelda only lasting 3 hours on a full charge?
I'll look again during Black Friday. This is some sad shit.
Happy for anyone who is excited for some reason, though.

Not surprising with the internal storage, but SD cards shouldn't be troublesome.

Wouldn't they have to downgrade it and judging by these reactions, who knows how big the user base is going to be ?
Yeah this. I really don't get that.

So anybody criticizing Nintendo is dramatic? Please.
That would make no damn sense.
Why would they cannibalize themselves like that? No console ever has done something like that - and for good reason.

What the fuck has Nintendo been working on for the last two years since the final wave of AAA Wii U games came out?

Does anyone know the Australian price yet? Can't be more than $400, right?

I wasn't too interested to begin with, anyway, but I'll only be getting a Switch if I happen to win one like I did the Wii U. Software lineup for likely the first year is pretty meh to me. Looks like I'll pick up Zelda for the Wii U, then. I wonder if that's coming out on March 3rd too? [Edit: Just read that it is, apparently.]

How well did the Vita do in Japan because this looks like Vita 2.0.

You won't be saying this when the first round of sales numbers roll in, guaranteed. They're repeating almost all of the exact same mistakes they did with the Wii U and then some.
You think Switch could run that game? lel
Might have already been pointed out, but looks like some NES and SNES VC games will have online multiplayer

I'm pretty sure they spent 1 year of that time with their heads in the sand and their asses in the air.

Yeah, 250 for a PS4/Xbox with a game included or a Switch for 330 without a game is totally not going to be a factor when deciding on what to buy.
and now we have last last gen system with no game
even hardcore nintendobois are got nintendoed
The first month numbers will be good, because that's how console sales have worked for a few years now.

Was expecting it to sit at about $300. Extra Joy-Cons seem a bit on the high end, but I don't anticipate needing to purchase a second pair (ARMS looks cool, but I've gotta a budget and other games on my radar), so its a bit of a moot point for me.
Pro Controller price is my only complaint. If the Joy-Con Connector design feels right, I might just bypass the Pro, but its a toss-up until I can get my hands on the system.
Overall, I am quite excited for the lineup. BotW, Xenoblade, Skyrim, Fire Emblem... All have been basically at the top of my most wanted list.
With a kid now, I don't have nearly as much time to play games as I used to, so it'll be good to be able to play a bit more flexibly.
Day 1, for sure.

I doubt the Tegra chip is the most costly component in this console. There's a reason why each Joy-Con costs $80, those things look ridiculously expensive to make. It's a tablet, a dock, 2 of these Joy-Cons, and the special hardware to make all the pieces attach to each other.
The Tegra might actually be the cheapest component inside the Switch tablet.

You'll probably have to throw a memory stick in there as well... Switch is only 32gb.

Got in a Best Buy preorder! Will jump to Amazon if I can get one there, though.
Now I just need to know if the system is just region free for physical games or if it will actually let you jump between accounts like the PlayStation and Xbox.

The pro controller adds $70, $80 for a set of joycons.
So there's that. And the shitty line up for spring.
32gb memory so grab a $40 MicroSD while you are at it.

Someone on my Twitter feed just said 1-2 Switch is a $60 game. This can't be true.
I hope there is a good storage system that allows for users to easily swap out MicroSD cards. Hopefully something where it carves out an extra 10GB of space on each install for patches and DLC. Accidentally run a game on the wrong SD, no problem, it simply asks you to insert the correct one and doesn't try deleting whatever you have on the currently inserted deck.

My feeling is that the console is great and the software line up is going to be incredible.
But with so much riding on that conference, it's going to have a rocky start. It was seriously boring and even someone like me is questioning pre-ordering it... I'm more confused by it now than I was back in October.

There's hope for Melee VC, yet.
