Well, they still need to talk about the OS. If that's Android + eshop with apps as you and others suggested, then they are breaking some new ground (for them at least).

Well, there's still a lot to reveal, but I wouldn't say "least inspired". I'd probably say "most logical" or "most predictable", in light of the challenges Nintendo have faced over the last generation. If Switch is affordable and has a decent battery life, then it's the perfect companion for my PC.

To me it feels like Nintendo are trying to re-sell the idea of a portable system in the 21st Century, under the guise of a home system you can take on the go. That may yet turn out to be more radical than at first appears. We've been able to play games on the go for over thirty years, but Nintendo's reveal angle with Switch was "Hey, look what you can do now! Pick up your game and go!" To me that's really interesting. Yes, it's a reversal of the Wii U concept. Yes, it's what a number of us expected (myself included, fairly sure we've chatted about this before). But, if they get most factors right, especially price, battery and software, Switch could be a fantastic system. Equally I admit there are easy mistakes that Nintendo could make from here on out which will sink the machine.

Also, having played 3D World the other night with friends, I thought what I saw of the Mario game in the Switch reveal looked a fair bit better than that. We've really seen so little, and there's so much more to come. What will be interesting to me is how early diversify Switch's positioning. Right now they've pushed the millenials angle, targeting the 20 to 30 somethings who've grew up with Nintendo. When are they going to announce that touch screen and show the system working with something like Hearthstone, or Super Mario Run? It's an easy step from millenial marketing to family marketing because the system includes multiplayer out the box. It might be a logical or simple step forward for Nintendo in many senses, but we could end up with a far more versatile system than Wii U or 3DS.

Nintendo is saying that this is still a home console.
People are saying that this is just a handheld.

Nintendo is saying that this is neither the successor to the WII U or the 3DS, but they stopped producing the WII U and the lack of new games for it makes it clear that the WII U support will be canceled soon.

We do not know the exact specs, but we do know that we got a custom nvdia tegra GPU in it. 1x meh, 2x better?
We don't know for certain until Nintendo makes it clear.

Nintendo also says that they didn't show everything. So, we have to wait until next year.

The concept they've come up with is a logical conclusion from the one of the WII U. They took it just further.
I personally love to take my home console games with me to play on the go, because I am rather most of the time traveling around.

I really don't see how can unified platform and real hybrid be something that Nintendo already done before.

How can you call graphical improvments "inspired"?  More like required, or standard, or expected.  Every generation has brought graphical improvements.  I'm tossing that right out the window since it happens everytime a new console comes out.

Shoulder buttons on the SNES I will give you.  More buttons...eh.  The Genesis controller was already out with 3 face buttons, so I don't think the jump to four is really inspired.  The layout did become a standard.

Optical discs were already in use by the Playstation and Playstation 2.  Analog triggers?  Yes, sure, I will give you that.

So you have a couple of controller tweaks for the SNES and GameCube.  Not a whole lot of inspiration there if you ask me.  Great evolutions of previous consoles, but nothing really that different.

Switch seems like a pretty big break from the Wii U.  Switching back to cartridges.  Tossing out the multi-screen play.  Attachable/detachable controllers for multiple configurations/on the go gaming/multiplayer gaming.  The whole mobilization of the home console thing.  Who knows if it going to be successful, but it certainly isn't a mere evolution of what came before.

To compare that to the GB to GBC to GBA is ridiculous on its face.  Adding color and then adding a graphical improvement with sholder buttons is just about the definition of straight forward.

So other consoles put out reskinned boxes with more power and Nintendo actually innovates and brings entirely new ways to play each new console, yet this is somehow an uninspiring console? First to offer true home console that you can play anywhere. You can't say anything about its power as that is completely unknown. But what we did see was, once again, a completely new way to enjoy gaming. Uninspiring is what you get with every iteration of the other guys. I can tell you exactly what a PS5 will be but no one would have guessed at what NS was without leaks.
