I flew too close to the 1TF sun and my Switch wings melted.

I think people are too worried about specs. To the point of losing their mind.

Isn´t software what makes a great system? Think about the 3ds situation. It has "shit" specs compared to Vita but in terms of software its library is killer.

The Nintendo Switch is going to unify all Nintendo games/productions into a single platform. It probalby won´t get cutting-edge costly third party games, but it will get all those great handheld franchises that made the 3ds so notorious and probably a great offer of indie games too.

The success of the Nintendo Switch relies a lot more on its library than on its specs. Nintendo needs to keep a great flow of game launches in the next 2/3 years and invest a good money on marketing/advertsiment if they want the device to be successful. Right now, we don´t know much about what they have been producing.

I´d say we should neither be so hyped nor too pessimistic about it until we discover the real specs and the game lineup, and that won´t come until the January presentation.

Great software needs a good machine. Besides Mario Kart 8 and Mario Galaxy, the best games Nintendo ever made were made on previous generations, on machine that were cutting edge at the time. And you can't MK8 and Galaxy would have been even better on a more powerful system.

There is nothing wrong with having great games made with great graphics. There was a time when we had both on Nintendo system, games like Rogue Squadron, Perfect Dark, Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros Melee, Ocarina of Time, I don't think there is anything wrong with asking that Nintendo start to care about both again. 

 

Am I whining when I say I want a system that can at least get SOME third-party support? I would really like to have some current gen games on the go. Am I asking for too much? But after seeing how underclocked the Switch is all I can possibly hope for now is some last gen games I can play on the go. It's something, anyways. A portable Mass Effect game would be nice. Maybe a portable BioShock.
