Nintendo Switch Presentation - Rating and your impressions?

[Fei-Hung]

Gave it a generous 6/10.

1) No specs for the console with release right round the corner.

2) more expensive than I thought without a Pro controller.

3) not sold at all on the waggle games.

4) Nintendo seems to still not have figured out their online strategy yet with pricing or content.

5) for me, there were only 3 games that were worth getting excited over: Mario, Zelda and Xenoblade. From the 3, only one has a release date. Launch line up is looking pretty weak.

6) the whole clicking fingers and saying "switch" got very boring and annoying.

7) Joy Con's being used as 2 pads look seriously uncomfortable.

8) this close to release and no user interface was shown for the console and what other applications it may bring.


On a positive note:

1) this looks like the Mario we deserve. Finally a true successor the best Mario game I've ever played.

2) although there was no mention of a WiiU version, this Zelda was breathtaking. The art style, vista's, gameplay etc everything was just so damn good. I can see this being GotY maybe even game of the gen.

3) that HD rumble future looks awesome. I wonder if it is as good as they say.

4) the smartphone / tablet connectivity future seems interesting.


I still get WiiU vibes from this. I really just wanted a console with a regular pad to play some games. I don't care about motion controls and miniature controllers. I'm not going to pay $299 for a console that doesn't even box a regular controller.

I'll do the same as I did with the WiiU, I'll wait a couple of years and buy it cheaper so I can play Zelda and Mario.
