Nope. I think I'll be sitting out this generation. If they ever make a home console again I'll be there. But I'm not interested in a 720p tablet.

Day one,then which bundle is up to them(which controllers and games)
Hope they make more third party bundles, they did that once with Zombi U, but they should do that regularly, Sony and Microsoft always make bundles.

Buying it day one as the Nintendo fan I am, with the intention to keep showing I'm into the mature games they can't really provide by themselves. Hopefully I'm not one of the few doing that again or my PC will again save the day.



Probably not, it will depend of the games it gets on the first two years, I don't like the tablet/console at all.

I never buy consoles day one. High price, infant diseases and problems, lack of proper software. I usually wait at least two years before I buy a console.
As for the NS, I need to see more of it before I decide, if it has as much handheld focus as it seems right now, it's likely not something I'll put very high on my list of future purchases, especially since it appears to have very poor backwards compatibility on top, which kinda sucks for someone who never owned a Wii or Wii U.

Perhaps you should get a Wii U this holiday season.  I know it is terrible to recommend a dying system but if you never owned a Wii or Wii U then that is your best chance for both.  Most classic Wii games are still cheap or within reasonable price on Amazon and you can pick up a decent amount of Wii U titles cheap through the select series.  I'd suggest getting at least one pro controller and perhaps a Wiimote + nunchuck (can get cheap off Nintendo site refurbed).

Never liked the Wii-mote, prefer traditional controllers. Wii-mote was fun for Wii Sports and similar games, but I found the controls to be more of a hassle than a boon in traditional games like Zelda TP and even SMG. MK8 with wii-mote was horrible compared to regular controls or even the Gamepad.

I'll look into it, the last Nintendo console I owned was a N64, so it's overdue and then some...

I want more 3Rd party games. I absolutely loved ACIV black flag and ZombiU ont Wii u. Then 3rd party just sort of evaporated. It needseems to have a strong launch line up (for me BOTW, and skyrim HD and I'm day one.

I never had a problem playing Mario Kart with nunchuck and wiimote.  I never bothered with the stupid wheel more than once or twice though.  I also liked the Wiimote + nunchuck combo for CoD games on the Wii.  Takes a second to get down but once you get it down they are perfect (point and shoot).  Feels better than dual analog for shooters if controls done right (I liked it for CoD:WaW and BO but didn't like it as much in Goldeneye).  I was mainly stating Wiimote nunchuck combo for old Wii games.  The Wii U pro controller is a pretty good controller for those that like traditional controls.  Classic controller pro is a decent traditional controller also (need a Wiimote to plug it into and not all games support it but good for virtual console games).

Played some Mario Kart 8 last night with Wii U Pro controller showing off the game to a neighbor that doesn't even really play games (played old school 80s arcade games back in day but nothing recently).  He was impressed with the game and I was a little upset I've neglected my Wii U lately.  We also played some Wild West Guns (WiiWare) because it is an easy rails shooter and he had a decent time.  I didn't want to throw a game with a bunch of buttons at him so kept it basic.

Probably, but I need more information before that (price, weight, battery life, launch games, other game announcements).

I was thinking, the two joycons you slide into each side of the tablet. They must have a battery inside them as well. You think those could help power the system for a longer battery life? I mean that would mean it has three batteries. Not sure if they actually connect to the tablet though.



How can I answer that without Price or Games Lineup... the only people that can answer that is hardcore nintendo fans that will buy the thing no matter what.



I'll wait for the games announcement, but I might get it if it gets a lot of wii U ports as I don't have one.
