The console is not region-locked, now I hope the console won't be limited to one region for the store (like on Vita)

Is an extra set of joy cons and the grip really going to set me back $110? Crazy...

Speak for yourself. No game is worth buying a door stopper of a console.

I did not come out of the conference confident this would be a system with a steady stream of games beyond early 2018. I came out concerned with the progress third parties are making and whether their promises will be delivered upon.
It felt like they are making some of the same mistakes of the Wii U, but with all new ones like paid online. The $300 price point I can swallow. But not the paid online.

Why, because of a late night Japanese press conference wasn't to your liking? Do we really have to go to Nintendo is dead mode already?

Besides Mario (OMG) and ZELDA (OMFG HYPE TRAILER) it was MEDIOCRE.
They need a fucking great E3 to make this worthwhile imo.

Zelda and Mario look great but I fear the console will be eating dust for the majority of the first year.
Already with that brutal response:
It's brutal because it's true.
Geezus Nintendo, how do you win people back after they finish playing BotW? <tumbleweeds>
I was expecting a $60 game and $50 pro controller. Wow.
So at launch to get Zelda and the 1-2-Switch game it would be maybe $300 + 70 + 60 + 40 = 470? And another $100 if you want to add two controllers for 4-player gameplay?
At $50 each I sure don't want to take those things outside or let people wave them around like all the videos show. *edit* Ah, I missed the 2-pack. So $80 and 40, still very pricey.
Yeah, they have amazing games, just not enough have been shown to make it compelling for launch imo.
Funny thing is that we haven't heard anything about the WiiU ports. Perhaps they didn't want those in the presentation and will tell us about it in the coming weeks? I am rather confused by the show.

PS4 has massive third party and indie support, and it had more then knack you cannot even compare the two.

So...
$300 price.
$70 pro controller.
Paid online by fall.
Motion control shit like 1 2 Switch.
Nothing shown but Zelda I care about.
Fuck me. This may be the last vestiges of my Nintendo fandom.

The hero we need.
Holy. Crap.
This twitter handle hits a home run every time. Gotta be a pro comedy writer behind it.
Okay. I wish there had been a) Dragon Quest XI footage (the stuff in the reels was Heroes right?), b) more on the SMT project, c) more on 3DS style software in general--the presentation was heavy on JRPG, but I'd like to have seen stuff like, say, Ace Attorney too, d) 1 2 Switch and Arms don't have me enthused, but hey, neither did Splatoon and that was a big thing, e) where was Mario Kart or Smash? we saw Kart in reels, f) Mario setting is strange to me, but hat power looks cool--liked the jump, g) OMFG Zelda trailer was amazing--really like the Zelda design too. So glad it is lauch, h) when can I pre-order on Amazon?! i) I really wish Nintendo had showed more first party single player stuff: There was Xenoblade but I'd have rather seen something like Metroid or Fire Emblem.
I think the presentation was slow and ponderous, price was moderately disappointing, and there weren't enough games shown, but the presentation did also show some key 3DS style support, which I've been wanting to see.
Mostly, again, needed more games and launch dates from both Nintendo and third parties.

..but cry so much I wish I had some
300$ is way overpriced for what you get, everyone I know right now that owned a Wii U (like 3 people) are all skipping it until a price drop and bundle.
Already with that brutal response:
Damn this dude... Should do standup at E3, whoever it is.
is it time to start the board already?

$70 extra to get a decent Dpad?
Wow. Overpriced, under powered, the software is weak, paid online, no real storage options and too many parts. Plus the controllers are fucking $70-$80? It's dead, Jim.

The most annoying thing about the presentation for me was lack of launch line-up info, by far. Heck, not even 1,2 Switch and ARMS look confirmed to be launch games, didn't even see a date. Zelda: BotW seems to be the only concrete launch release and MK8 Deluxe is an April release so far which is a shame as the games getting released further down the line look promising.
-Shin Megami Tensei
-Super Mario Oddysey
-Xenoblade 2
-Splatoon 2
-Dragon Quest 10/11
-Fire Emblem Warriors
We need a press release with all developers involved in the launch line-up and what they're making, there's only 1 and a half months left for crying out loud!

Okay, I have to ask, what makes you pass on the Switch if you love the Wii U? Is it just the price? Cuz as far as I can tell, the Switch is everything the Wii U should have been. It is too pricey though.
http://www.nintendo.com/switch/features/ has the "specs"
6.2 inch 720 screen
MicroSDXC card expendable. 32GB internal
USB 2.0 ports on dock. Maybe a 3.0 on back?
You have to plug the joycons into something for them to charge (They don't have a charging port on them).

Honestly kinda disappointed I guess because I expected Pokemon and Smash at least. But oh well, Mario looked incredible, I just wish there was more info on what's coming. I would love to know what's gonna be out on release cause I'm gonna get Zelda but from what I know for sure it's just 1 2 Switch and Zelda. SMT I'm hoping is out this year, mostly cause 25th anniversary and it was a gorgeous teaser. Same with Fire Emblem and Xenoblade 2. I think this year is a little light but I wouldn't be surprised if they held some things for E3 so they could get some hype themselves in a year where I feel like we know a lot of what Sony and Microsoft are bringing (Scorpio, tlou2, forza 7, maybe halo 6, crackdown 3, sea of thieves, days gone, god of war 4, spiderbro, that weird Kojima game that'll be out in another 4 years) and that's just off the top of my head. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to get things out that they know will get attention and save some other big end of year surprises to keep momentum going for them despite Sony and MS having some pretty big stuff to show this year for sure anyway.
Presentation was a little reserved, but I like what I saw. Paid online was inevitable, price seems right for what's in the box, different coloured joy-cons is awesome 
Mario looks awesome. I mean it's a Mario 64 sequel, as far as I'm concerned. Colour me hyped. Holiday is a little later than my prediction (after e3, but Summer).
Splatoon 2 = Yay!
Xenoblade 2 = Yay!
Zelda = OMFGHOLYSHITBBQ😱 Stunning. Cannot wait, and will take that over Mario at launch any day of the week.
My one reservation, and Nintendo please listen: 1-2 Switch (and/or) Arms NEEDS TO BE A PACK IN TITLE. Especially at $299.

Well again while the trailer looks amazing what else is Nintendo offering? Yes we know the PS4 launch with Knack but that was 3 years ago, at the moment the PS4 seem to have a solid line this year. So I honestly can't blame those who want to play the wait and see game.
