***EDIT***

Wiggy beat me to it.  Lots of posts came in at once.

Pretty close to what I was expecting.  I like what looks to be several different ways to control the games, including what looks to be more or less a standard pro controller.  Overall I'm happy, although I'm not seeing any backwards compatibility (I wasn't expecting it at this point), and I'm thinking that there will not be a way to play DS or 3DS games with it (I still had hopes for that).

Not sure if I like the name or not, but it's a thousand times better than NX.

Yeah, that part is pretty vague. They show a 3DS style card slot, but it does not imply anything. Maybe it will be the official format for "Switch" games (cards) but still not 3DS compatible.

Right.  It's not 100% ruled out, but I'm no longer expecting anything on that front.

It's EXACTLY what I said it would be.

Thanks

like the idea, and it seems that you can connect several device to play with more people. i like it, i'm not worry about the backward compatibility. i like to play every game in it's original device.

for a reveal trailer, it looked OK,

have any definitive specs been released?

also, seriously?, that's the d-pad they went with? LAME...

ok it's nice to see carts on a home system again but do i have to buy splatoon again and what about the new zelda game. it is going to be like twlight princess again like when the gamecube and wii. where if you want it for the new system you have to buy a new copy

Yeah, that turned me off big time. I never like the Wii mote, it's not ergonimic, not sure I'll like these. Hopefully, you can use the pro controller on all games.

I was thinking exactly the same... for months! I'm going to buy it for both systems, whatever is the outcome. But for other non 5 star+ games, probably I'll go with latest system only.

That's really nothing new.  Even back when the SNES came out, there were several games on both the SNES and NES.

zelda i will always buy for all systems. but i own splatoon on Wii U and i wonder if nintendo will have a backwards compatibility mode for wii u games or just kill it and pretend it never existed

I think it looks exactly the way people have been describing it for the past year. What took them so long to announce it? It's basically a tablet with a docking bay connected to the TV. I'm a little disappointed as it's nothing new or revolutionary. Nintendo's been so secretive about it, I expected a game changer.

I think they will kill it

Same here with zelda and mario

Causiously optimistic...

No idiotic gimmicks that can't be bypassed shown... Least not yet.
Seems reasonably powerful.
