Thingy with screen. Plays games.

Put it in thingy next to tv. Plays games on tv.

That thing you have to buy to play Nintendo games.

This is probably the most honest one. I would add after that: and it is both handheld and console.

I mean, isn´t this the whole deal? 

It´s Nintendo, but this time it is both game boy and nes in one.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

"Remember when I had a DS and a Wii? The Switch is like both in one device" - This is how I explained it to my parents, worked out pretty well =P



Portable with separable controllers for multiplayer. Can also be docked on tv.

A "play anywhere, with anyone" quote from nintendo describes well.



mario... pokemon...zelda.... no call of duty...

It plays Zelda.



"I've Underestimated the Horse Power from Mario Kart 8, I'll Never Doubt the WiiU's Engine Again"

It's basically a big ass HD Gameboy that you can play on your TV



A Wii U tablet, with Wii controllers, that hooks up to TVs. Doesn't get more accurate than that.

I just show it.

I typically remark how I use it in its tablet form equally as often on the TV.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

What's a layperson?



Pocky Lover Boy!
