It costs $300, it doesn't have a pack in game, has paid online, and an extra controller costs $80. That doesn't sound like it targets casuals to me.

Casuals play games on devices that are twice as expensive. Price is nothing.

yeah but normally they play in devices twices as expensive as the Iphone 7. Good luck trying to convince them that Nintendo is better than apple...

Plus those devices do more than just play games. If the switch can make calls, or use whatsapp, then Ill eat my words...

Nintendo could've done anything and investors would still react negatively.

I think this video has played a larger role in negative investor confidence that people realize. It's done things to me. Things I need to see a doctor about.

At first I was like "dafuq did I just watch", but then I saw these:

All the 1-2 Switch videos are very special. :)

1-2 Switch has actually managed to beat Wii Music as the most cringeworthy game reveal of all time. The good news is that it only costs 50$.
