RealPlumpBox:
So I just got around to watching the video. Here are my thoughts:
First off I think it is HUGE. I take a train to work everyday so mobility/ Portability is key. I guess if i can get a slip case ala Ipad i should be good. Next up I love the new pro controller with the analog stick where they should ALWAYS be located. Next I hope it comes with a portable charger for on the go. I saw no touch screen which is a good thing because fuck Gimmicky controls. I like the name, separate from the Wii name at all costs. 3rd party support with Skyrim right out the gate is an excellent sign, also rumors of Rockstar putting some stuff on it is good news. The 2 attachable controllers that instantly make multiplayer possible without buying a new controller is good (although they look TINY AS FUCK). I really hope the Pro controller is included but most likely it it will not be. Carts make me happy so i hope the cases are small. And i hope it just uses SD cards for memory.

I think that say i got to say. I hope. Oh and I wont buy at launch but will get at some point next year.

But what I really do not like is the logo ... this does not look like a nintendo logo.

Eh logo means nothing to me personally. Just put a Nintendo sticker over it.

Are they going to slow development on 3DS and switch to a more smartphone style handheld to use the NS carts? If not, then they're not really doing themselves any favors making this a portable system. They're still going to have to develop games twice.

Why would they develop games twice?

--- End quote ---

Didn't understand that part either.

From.what I see is the same game for both. Different as they are doing now with some Wii U and 3DS, in that case they are developing two games.

I think that the way they are taking is better economically for us

Yes, I mean that if they don't make a smaller handheld with a lower price point, they're still going to end up developing for both 3DS and the NS. It'd be a smarter move to create a smaller handheld that handles the games like the NS rather than continuing to develop for the 3DS.

--- End quote ---

I don't care what Nintendo is saying right now. The Switch is a replacement for both the Wii U and 3DS. Within a year or two of the release of the Switch, it will be Nintendo's only console. They will only have to develop games for ONE system.

--- End quote ---

Exactly, if they have a console and a handheld all in one they are not going to make another handheld apart

--- End quote ---

I think they're going to have to make a slim or mini or lite version of the screen. Speaking completely as a parent and not a gamer, there's no way in hell I'm going to let my kids walk around with a $300 (random number) console. I'm ok with a $150... but if it's our family Nintendo console, that's just not going to fly.

Original release price for the 3DS was $249. I wouldn't want my kids walking around with a $300 console either, but that doesn't mean this won't be Nintendo's portable console. Think about the number of 5 year olds walking around with $700 cell phones.

Even if they make a "slim" or "lite" version, they would still only have to make ONE version of each game. The idea of combining both home and portable consoles into one unit was (or at least should have been) Nintendo's primary goal in this new console. It will allow them to put all of their focus on ONE thing.

or probably they will sell the portable part apart from the unit, one will be a complete set and you can buy also separate units
