Overall good video. The Japanese young man in the glasses said something in the end that I've been thinking about bringing up in a thread for a while

I do believe you are refering to this "Rather than smartphone games, I've been hoping for a portable device with console style games..."

I fully agree, and I know he is not alone. That is why I have been saying Sony and Nintendo need to release Handheld/Phone hybrids for years. There is a massive market for 3DS and Vita games on Phones, and even more so PS4/XBO games. Had Nintendo released a 4G model of the Switch, I have no doubt it would be their biggest selling console ever, with them selling 50M in Japan alone.

I still hope we see a Switch Phone in the future. They could easily slim down the unit, use a 5" screen, and get more battery life with a 10nm 4G Tegra chip in the next two years. It would be a massive boost to their platform, and give them a real chance to fight back into the hardware space.

But what else would Nintendo fans have said? Thats like asking a potato wht it thinks about potatoes.....

They should have gone to something like PSX and ask PS fans what they think about the switch.

Now that would have been interesting.

This is the same feeling I had. Of course Nintendo fans are going to be excited. These people came from all over just for this event, the chances they would be disappointed are extreamly slim. 

I will be more interested to see the buzz from the lesser Nintendo fans post launch, and see what the lines look like at broader trade shows.

 

Pretty much my thoughts. I keep thinking back to one of my old phones that had a physical mini-keyboard that slid out...playing games on it wasn't perfect, but was far better than what I got now. If only someone would bite the bullet & dare to make a thicker phone with a physical controller portion (just a D-pad & mashable buttons)...
