    That new Mario looks like it's in the line of SM64/Sunshine, I'll def have to play it.

    The Switch won't be a day one purchase, but a year or two in I'll def be looking for it as long as Nintendo doesn't botch this like they did the Wii U.

    Imagine a fully 3D Pokemon Online though? That'd make me change my mind sooner... would fulfill the childhood dream.

    a handheld console isn't innovative unfortunately. it's just an upgraded Wii U which isn't very good in the first place, the only eye catching thing in the whole trailer is the Mario game

    Yeah but if you buy the game pad controller (similar to Xbox's) then for CO OP someone can use the 2 side controllers as one and you can use the game pad.

    Or buy 2 controllers

    and have lots of different controller combinations. it also looks like u can take the console w u and dock it some other place that has a ninswitch dock

    this is huge because of 2 main reasons:

    1. its bridging all of the niche nintendo exclusive titles that all have their own type of gameplay together in one console.
    2. a lot of nintendo titles focus on annoying peripherals, this will make it so much simpler to utilize w the versatile controller design

    i understand all that, i just wish they would go back to creating a normal console without any gimmicky designs, everything since the Wii has been silly

    its still in development and for all we know it mightve just been flicker due to the camera fps, a few frames less per second looks horrible when recorded w stable fps

    2 early to draw conclusions based on some commercial

    couldnt disagree more

    everything sony & microsoft released has been so boring and worthless to the point where i dont even see any reason to buy any of their consoles when i have an ok pc

    have u played any wii/u titles? i can see why some ppl hate moving their arms but all i know is its always super fun. also the wind waker remaster for wii u is legit one of the best games ive ever played, it fixed every issue with the original and incorporated the game pad to do so

    nintendo gave up on the general gamer as their target demographic years ago for a reason, if they had chosen to follow it, it would only have held them back.

    Just glad Breath of the Wild is still coming out for Wii U. Will be getting that day 1.

    May even invest in this eventually to be honest. Wii U has surprised me so much, I do not lie when I say I enjoy it and play it more than my PS4.

    Also YES PLEASE to updating Mario Kart 8 for Wii U if this happens. From the video it looks very intriguing, we'll see how it executes once it's out and the support it gets.
