Wow this is perhaps the worst looking controller I've ever seen! xD

 

 

Thank goodness you have other control options, buying the dedicated (pro controller?) is gonna be a must for using on a tv!

It looks kind of like the Dreamcast controller.

I hope there is a dedicated, premium home controller option, better than the Pro

The design looks slick. Hopefully they'll give out details soon.

And wow, they have KONAMI, Bethesda, Tell Tale, Marvelous in that list... (Companies that normally wouldn't support Nintendo), but no Square Enix? :(

But hey, Grasshopper/Suda 51 are on board, same for Platinum Games. Those two studios make some crazy fun games, I'm glad.

I'm not seeing anything to like here. Will people carry this thing around for handheld gaming?

geez didn't you watch? they will carry it around so they can sit next to a blonde chick and get a smile from her than when they playing basketball they can all stop excerising and high 5 each other and play digital basketball.

We do it all the time in real life.

Except the handles are behind the main body of the controller, it's strange. Having the buttons on a pedestal ABOVE the handles...

Yeah, that's basically the WiiU.

Well the ps4 was basically the ps3

Yeps and that's why it's being so successful. We know how it ended for the WiiU.

The WiiU and Ouya were for people too. It's a handheld but it's certainly not easily portable. And esport machine? No chance. I'm just discussing where Nintendo is going with this thing. You being hyped for it doesn't mean people can't question the usefulness of the device.

it's for people that play video games and want this product, Pokemon games a lot means better sales than the wii u.

Pokemon alone will make propel this at least over the gamecube.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

If the Switch on the mobile form is as powerful as an XOne or close to it, then this will be a very powerful console.I mean, it looks like it rans Mario Kart 8 at the very least.So as a handheld its going to be excellent.As a home console, we need to learn more

Its not... its going to be about 500 Gflops when its docked (max power), which means about 1/3rd of the XOne.

Going by those rumors of 3x Wii U performance.

Its going to be less than that, when its not docked.... but still powerfull by tablet standards.

By home console standards, this is going to be like 1/10th of the PS4 pro.

 

In terms of Power, this is the Wii all over again.

However the unified library is a thing that makes this a better situation.

If its priced right (199-249$) this is going to move alot of units.

Wow, i did not like this at all.

Will wait more but so far i'm not really interested in ir.

Just by having Pokémon and other Nintendo portable classics it means it will sell better than Wii U. I just don't know if will be enough to cover the sales of both Wii U and 3DS. But I think they solved the problem of game shortage keeping only one device.
