The console price?
Doesn't bother me at all. I saw the $250 rumors and while I thought and said that it would be a great price point, I also thought that they could still get away with $300. Any higher and I would have started to bitch.
the peripherals price?
Those do bother me. Nintendo is essentially begging all of us to buy 3rd party peripherals because I cannot see how they can justify charging 90 bucks for a dock that's essentially a HDMI port and charger. As for the joycons, I guess I can rationalize that to myself because of the tech in them -- which I hear is expensive. I just hope they find a way to justify the price for it by implementing it well in games in a non-intrusive manner.
not being a truly home console?
I stopped bitching about that a couple of days after last year's reveal.
not being a truly handheld console?
If I'm an avid handheld guy, I'm excited since it's essentially an extremely souped up Vita
the battery life?
It's about the same as the 3DS's. Also, for people complaining about it, just buy a power bank and slap it to the back of the Switch using some velcro strips or something.
the graphic department?
I've never been a graphics whore. You can give me stylized graphics as long as the game has good frame rates and draw distance.
nintendo not following the 2 others path?
This is the first time that I'm actually happy with Nintendo's special snowflake choice. Portability is actually a good selling point to me in hindsight because I realized that I wasn't a typical couch gamer that likes playing games in front of a big screen and would probably be spending most of my time using it in handheld mode -- which makes me hope that a 3rd party comes up with some joycons with angled stick/button placements.
not enough games?
I can already think of 6-8 games I want to get within the console's first year which is already more games than what I would sincerely want to play on either the PS4 or XBone.
As for other things like paid-online, I'll wait for what Nintendo has to say on a later date before I delcare that the sky is falling. Right now, the only things other than peripherial pricing that I can truly complain about are the Switch's seemingly poorly planned presentation and the pricing for 1-2-Switch. The presentation because there's a lot of aspects to the Switch that Nintendo could have elaborated on and the absence of significant trailers that were uploaded to youtube afterwards like for Mario Kart 8: Deluxe. As for 1-2-Switch, I'm annoyed because that's supposed to be the game that justifies HDRumble and a high price is just going to get a lot of people to go "screw that" and avoid it which is going to make Nintendo lose a lot of the word-of-mouth potential for that game.
