Also with built in inconvenience to have to be in the same room with your friends. Local multiplayer is less common nowadays for a reason.

Lol!

You're so young.

If this was anything but Nintendo, I'd want to tell you that online multiplayer would always be a choice anyway...

But this is Nintendo, so I'm not quite sure of that. d:

Every Xbone that launched with Kinect.

Dude just stop this. The switch doesn't have TWO vontrollers. It has two halves of ONE controller. 

Lets get real here, each half of the switch has 1/2 shoulder buttons, a thumb stick and 4 buttons right? That's one half of a modern controller. it will allow multiplayer in some games but not all of them.

What happens when you want to play a game like street fighter or tekken? How will you do that with one half of a controller? use the thumb stick for command inputs?

What happens if there is an FPS with split screen support? How are you going to play that with half a controller?

I like the Switch and I'm going to preorder the second it's available to do so but the OP is trying too hard to make something of nothing.

In my opinion.

Bow down to the iPad Master Race!

Edit: Sometimes I feel that Nintendo has to up their marteking game so that their fans don't have to run campaings for them.

You know what can sell a gaming device: Games. The 3Ds has them, the WiiU doesn't, look at the sales.

If Nintendo releases a Switch bundle like the OP describes, then that' awesome. :D

First ever? I remember playing on something like this at someones house before you were even born sonny
