Gotta say that looks great, great design and great name... for me, but I can't be the only one to notice the size of the portable device? almost every shot of people going around with it have it in their hands rather than a pocket, because it's pretty damn big, even with the side controllers removed.

Still though, colour me happy, we get to see some great games, some lovely looking 3rd party support lined up there (even more so if they unify the games heading to both 3ds and home system into this bad boy and yeah a great high powered traditional handheld (more or less) This thing seems to piss all over the Vita in terms of power looking at that basketball game they were playing, insane!

But wait.... there is the best thing about this reveal. No more fucking NX threads, 2016 will be a good year as long as there isn't some slow fucker misses this reveal making a thread about NX rumours in the next few days....

Well they seem to be emphasizing it as a home console experience on the go rather than a handheld like the 3DS.  Partly cause they don't want to trample their own product and partly cause they seem to be going for adults with this one.  A lot of adults don't like to carry handhelds, makes them feel childish (I don't but hey, people are self conscious).  I believe thats why they made this look like a tablet, so it blends in.  And besides, console games have larger worlds, smaller HUDs and text, a larger screen is needed.  

And given nearly everyone carries around tablets, laptops, and phablets now, it could fly better than in previous times.  It will come down to marketing.  Would be ideal if it came with a carryijg bag though.

To be honest I got grief over having a game boy color while in school, got over that then, didn't give a fuck if others wanted to think whatever about me sitting down with my PSP in my cafe enjoying a tea or in the last few years settling down in the busy town with a Vita, pair of headphones and coffee, if people are so worried about what others think of them... that's a fairly sad life to be living when you can be enjoying yourself and doing what you want.

I agree about the bag though, a nice stylish case for this would set it in there as a accessory for adults over a toy for kids with a little play bag.

Also didn't notice at first that was Skyrim... wow, just wow that was amazing looking to see that on a handheld, sure I have Fallout 4 via the PS4 on the Vita, but natively running Skyrim on a cart in a handheld, gotta tip my hat to Nintendo on this.

As for resolution of this thing? I couldn't give a rats, people who skipped out on the 3ds because it was 240px2 missed some of the best games in existance because of a number which isn't reflected in the games at all, playing things like the 3ds ports of OoT or StarFox64 was just a joy to behold and for me (and Nintendo's audience) I would think it doesn't matter if this handheld is 720p/540p whatever just get those sweet ass games on that thing and tell me a price and I'm there.
