I think its too soon to call it "good or bad."

The reason is battery life.

If the battery life is poor (3 hours) than the gimmick is bad. Because at they point, its not very portable and they should have just made it an actual console. Cause what that would do is let us have more power with an arch that is exactly like the other two and perhaps a Bluray player which would make it easier for third parties to port games as well as other benefits.

Now I know that with western third parties, we won't know whether or not that is the reason that will make them port game to the NS but it would have certainly given them less excuses...

If the battery life is good (5+ hours) then I agree, the gimmick this time around isn't bad at all.

I'm not too worried about the battery life because there are going to be third party batteries or even from Nintendo like the high capacity battery. But hopefully the one that comes with the console is good enough. Anyways, it's good that the game design is not going to be affected by their needs of being creative.

But isn't that a problem for the casuals?  They like having things fixed for themselves and it probably won't even register in their minds that this is an option.
