Nintendo Switch Presentation - Rating and your impressions?

[S.Peelman]

Not good. Curiosity is satisfied again though.

A couple minutes in and they already announced a $299 pricetag, which for no reason other than milking apparently is somehow €329, paid online and a battery-life of a whopping 2.5 hours. Then the games, those two gimmick-games 1,2,Switch and Arms look stupid. Token third-party support, basically there B-line-up. EA tosses in a Fifa, but you can count your marbles they're pulling out before you know it. The Dock is still a big question-mark because they didn't talk about specs whatsoever, and so I still don't know why it's actually necessary. This system has shaky argumentation; I have never asked the question "Why" as much as I did now.

Then the big thing; Mario. I'm conflicted. On one hand I like the name and the fact that's it's open like 64/Sunshine and I know it'll probably be great because when has that team ever made a game that wasn't, but on the other the realistic settings make it seem like Sonic 06. The tablet has a touchscreen which is good and finally the Joy-Cons, they're better. Still too tiny to hold comfortably probably of course, but there's actually some tech inside the things and the revised "HD Rumble" seems neat.

And Zelda still looks great.

That doesn't really save the whole thing though since Zelda's also on WiiU, so overal I'd say this is a meagre 4/10, because the system is in no way impressive.
