Not sure if I like it.

Pro:
- No more range limit on the gamepad.
Con:
- I'll never use it outside the house so why pay extra for that functionality.

Unknowns:
- Will it run my WiiU games? Or is Nintendo done with BC.
- Touchscreen?
- Internal storage?
- Battery life?
- I guess no more 1 on tv 1 on pad multiplayer?
- Splitscreen or will the focus be on buying multiple switches?

Reviews will have to convince me Zelda is much better on the NX. Least excited I've been for a Nintendo console to date. I dislike playing on handhelds, but didn't mind the extra info screen with touchscreen inventory management etc on the gamepad. This seems a step backwards for me.

Just wondering, do you have a wife, kids or anyone else in your home that also uses the same TV as your game cosole.  I have the WiiU and I must say because it has that second screen, it allows my kids to play on it while I destroy the world on my PS4 or X1.  I have also found it handy when the wife wants to watch one of her boring shows and I can pull out the WiiU and play until she is done.

Yes, my kids use it as a second screen all the time, with the added bonus they can't sneak it into their bedroom. Anyway that's still possible with the switch (as well as it getting lost anywhere in the house now) I don't want to experience a big Zelda game on a tiny screen, nor want it to be made with the small screen experience in mind :/ Leave the UI on the gamepad, no big old letters and icons spoiling the image cause it must be clearly readable on a 6" screen!
