It has a couple of issues.
While its first year line-up (assuming no delays) is stellar, its launch games include a Wii U port (albeit, a highly anticipated title that will be launching simultaneously on Wii U and Switch), two first party tech demos, and a small handful of small third party ports.
Its battery life is less than stellar. I figure most games will be closer to the two and a half hour end of the spectrum than the six hour end of the spectrum. Furthermore, batteries degrade over time, so it's possible that battery life will be even less a year later.
The prices of the accessories are ludicrously high. That said, I am not entirely sure why someone would by extra controllers under normal circumstances, except for, perhaps, four player local co-op.
The paid online service sounds remarkably stingy. I am usually not one to mind paying for online access, as the sheer volume of 'free' games is worth the price, even though I often don't play the games. But an NES/SNES game a month that might only be playable for a month is insulting.

I still intend to buy one in May, once I am done playing through Persona 5 twice in quick succession, but the system is not without its issues.
