I think Nintendo kind of fumbled their presentation. There was a lot of good game reveals and decent presentation of the hardware. But too much shit. Horrible translator, who made the stuff seem unexciting. 1,2 Switch was embarrasing. Sega and EA's presence were pointless. And Suda51 comes on stage to talk about a game he doesn't seem to have even started making yet. I am sure Nintendo and 3rd parties have a lot of stuff left to show us the next  weeks until the launch though, so I'm still optimistic.

 

Pros:

Super Mario Odyssey (looks amazing, I really dig the ideas shown)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away by what I've seen)

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Great that a big promising RPG is coming, and what a surprise that it's coming so fast!)

Splatoon 2 (Another surprise, a full blown sequel, not a port!)

Project Octopath Traveller (Wow, unique artstyle, classic gameplay)

Fast RMX

Skyrim (Who cares which version it's based on? As long as it includes DLC. Isn't the remastered version also based on the original version anyway? )

ARMS (Looks fun, it has really grown on me, wasn't hooked after the initial reveal, but it seems to have more depth)

HD rumble (nice tech, that could improve gaming experiences)

No region-locking

The hybrid design!

Perfect system for local muliplayer

Launch day! So early!!

 

Neutral:

Paid online (I don't care, I never play online. I hope it means they will improve their service a lot)

System price (Higher than I hoped, but cheaper than I feared)

Launch day line-up. (As long as there are a lot of games coming later on at a steady steam, they only need Zelda at launch, if the lack of systems at launch is true. It will be sold out for sure, just because of Zelda anyway then.)

 

Cons:

1,2 Switch (Oh my... Wtf are you thinking Nintendo? Nobody wants this crap, and for full retail price? Lol, you are living in your own world Nintendo)

Way too expensive accessories

1st party lineup (Huge disappointment that there isn't more, what have you been working on the last 1,5 years Nintendo, we know it isn't Wii U games, where is Retro Studios, Intelligent Systems, Platinum Games, Next Level Games, Gamefreak, HAL Laboratory, Pikmin/2D Mario Team and more)

Japanese 3rd party support (There is good stuff here, but we need more, much more! Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Tekken, Ace Attorney?)

Western 3rd party support (This is pathetic, where are Ubisoft's games? Activision? Warner Bros? I didn't expect more than those three, but I sure as hell expected those three).

Poor presentation in general
