So I noticed Boo was in the Mario Kart clip they showed. I'm assuming that's DLC Pack 3 for Mario Kart 8.

all the leaks were true....
Definitely not what I was expecting based on the speculations, and the name change. I think the concept is clever. But the controllers seem easily misplaced. I saw the guy on the airplane playing it without it attached to the screen which is nice but seemed uncomfortable to hold imo. I hope there will be animal crossing on it, otherwise I may not bother to buy it honestly. Game titles so far look good.
The screen looks like a decent size but im not sure if its ideal for portability. Its definitely much nicer than the wii u game pad design though. Cartridges look awesome too

I found it really disappointing that the Switch appears to be just a portable Wii U with one new game, but I guess that's just me. Did I miss anything else about it?
I'm a bit disappointed too. It just looks so weird... And the playing together, with those two side parts? Seems really weird to me, they are so small. I guess I just need to let it sink in a bit.

I think it's too focused on being portable. At least it looks like you're not forced to use that screen thing as the main controller like on the Wii U. I think they made it more complex than it really needed to be.

WOW! I love it! Did anyone notice how the Splatoon match was started? It was different than normal! Splatoon 2??
The Nintendo Switch looks freakin' amazing! Nintendo definitely has done it again with being super innovative and taking their own path reagrdless of what the rest of the videogame industry is doing. It definitely takes the best of home consoles & handhelds and puts them together. I think probably the part I am the most excited about is the fact the system will be cartridge based because that means that the games will have very fast load times and it also will mean that games will last far longer than Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U games since they won't be subject to scratching & potential bit rot. This might actually be the first Nintendo console that I buy on launch day!

That list of partners is what the Wii U desperately needed when it was announced. Otherwise I think it would have been a huge hit. As it stands, the Wii U only has like a dozen must-have titles, the rest you can get on other systems.
I might get the Switch, depends on the pricepoint and if they continue to support the 3DS. My concern is that this might kill the lifespan of the 3DS going forward.

They're taking a risk making it portable based as well because now they have to deliver and advertise both features well. The trailer did a good job at showing what the console can do overall. I personally don't really care about the portable features. I doubt I'll ever need to bring it somewhere with me. In case my other message was buried, I saw Boo in the trailer so looks like Mario Kart DLC #3 is headed our way hopefully.

For those complaining about the Joy Cons (detachable controllers) being too cramped, having poor Control Stick placement and its Control Pad being separated into buttons, there's also a Switch Pro Controller coming as well. Given it has more buttons as a separated Joy Con does, I'll believe the Pro variation can also function as one.

I am excited for the Switch and the eventual move of Animal Crossing to this platform--just imagine the possibilities, playing AC on a bigscreen TV, and taking it with you when you go anywhere. And there's a "Share" button for instant sharing of screenshots to social media, no more tedious Image Share!
