Is Switch The Least Inspired "Generational Leap" By Nintendo?

Yeah, what Nintendo showed us was essentially everything I was hoping it wouldn't be.  It's like they just doubled down on the Wii U gamepad even though its biggest negatives was that its gimmick was too expensive and didn't add anything worthwhile.  All I wanted was a somewhat powerful Nintendo console with a cheap gimmick -- hell, I'd have been happy if they just made a Wii-HD and just doubled down on the wiimote.  Instead I get a tablet device that tries to do too much and doesn't have a defined audience outside of Nintendo fans -- just like the Wii U.

Yeah remember all the bruhaha over the Wii U tablet screen being such an unneccessary cost? Well now if you don't plan on using this as a portable, it's basically a wasted LCD display just sitting in the "toaster dock" doing absolutely nothing (plus the battery that needs to be inside of it), lol.

It's just -- I know this is what you were predicting for months Soundwave and I give you your credit for being right -- but this is just so disappointing so far for someone like me that hates handheld gaming.  I look at this device and I think "Nintendo discontinued the Wii U...for this?".
