Right on. Also, where were you 20 years ago when George Lucas was drafting The Phantom Menace?

Kids don't want to be kids. They want to be Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

... Actual production value ... not family-centric ... I for one really liked it.

This gives me hope for their marketing campaign. It's a good start.

Yes but this is not the first one at all, remember BoTW recently? Pokemon Go? And there's a bunch more.

Game wise....not at all, showing games that are all ports and old games isn't the way to go.

Nintendo shouldn't try to satisfy specifically its fans. Nintendo fans will buy this anyway, like they bought the Wii U. They want Nintendo games and will pay for it. Nintendo just has to announce the games their fans want and avoid droughts like the Wii U had.

Casual people didn't saw this, so it isn't quite effective. Fanfare won't make people bash Nintendo, people will bash them anyways. The casual focus on Wii and the failures with Wii U made people on the web start hating on them. But these kind of bashing is irrelevant. If people bashing on the web resulted in any real result EA would be bankrupt and CoD would be dead.

A pompous company is a confident company. Up to this day, people remember the Crash commercial where we called up Mario. Why? Because it had confidence, it was bragging, sending the message. People remember the "Genesis does what Nintendon't" commercial. I missed this edgy aspect on this announcement. A small announcement says "well, we aren't so sure about this product... It may be good, may be better than competitors... Take a look, please understand". It's not like it's a big damage, announcements are just 20%. The rest is the follow-up until the launch.

Anyway, they need to do some marketing. That's it. They have a good product. Skyrim on the go? Full Zelda game? That's a freaking good selling point. If they grab a CoD, just imagine: the same PS4 CoD on the go, with just slightly decreased visuals probably. But the same game, full expenrience. It's not BOPS Declassified. It's not 3DS Smash Bros. It's the real deal.

The closest we had to real console games was Vita, but limited to last gen PS3 games. It never shared games with PS4, the current platform, unless they were simpler titles. It's not like I could play Shadow Fall or Uncharted 4 on it. Switch does exactly that and it's great. The only way to screw this up is making it expensive or nor advertising it right.

I'd say they did a pretty decent job with it. Let's hope this kind of ads will continue.

The game has basically pulled a Smash and is surprisingly competitive so that wouldn't surprise me.

I think it was a good trailer it was clear showed a bit of Zelda and the concept of the console was obvious.

You'd think Lucas would know that best of all, considering the original Star Wars created a revolution in toy sales without pandering to children.
