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.

Ok, the LCD and battery won't even add 100 bucks to it. It looks a lot like the Nvidia Shield tablet, that costs 200 bucks. For a full console, it's reasonable. The problems with Wii U were:

- A joystick that costs 100 bucks is not reasonable. Switch controller won't cost that. A lot of people want more than one.

- Wii U only supported 1 gamepad. Switch provides the same controllers to anyone and they are cheap.

- Wii U gamepad got only 2 to 3 hours of battery. It's reasonable to assume that Switch controller will probably get at least 7 hours. Heck, the handheld portion probably will get 5 to 6 hours.
