No support for licensed surround sound formats like Dolby etc only LPCM 5.1. meaning no surround sound unless you have a fairly new hdmi AV amplifier or support for encoded surround sound on 2 channel output for those with older AV amps

This kindof goes along with the no optical out, but... Why are we harping on Nintendo for not being behind the curve? A decent AVR can be had for <$200. 

Why would you want anything but linear PCM anyhow? Gotta stay pure ;)

 

EDIT: 

My biggest let downs: No Metroid Prime 4 announced at launch. No F-Zero GCX announced at launch.

Seriously, though. If they announce those two we'll have a new Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, F-Zero, and Splatoon, plus enhanced ports of Mario Kart and Smash within the furt 18 months of the console. This could seriously be Nintendo's best opening year+.
