If this can stay at $300 I'll be sold, granted there's a decent launch lineup of games. $350 doesn't seem all thaaaaaaat steep either. I want more information!!!

Kinda doubt it will be more than $400. At that price point you might as well buy a Ps4 pro or Xbox Scorpio (assuming its going to be $400).

Feel like this is what the wii U should have been in the first place. I'm interested. Hope they release more information soon rather than later

Earlier I played the Switch reveal video to my my daughters who are 7 & 9 and are Nintendo crazy and they could barely make it to the end of the 3 minute video, they just didn't care.
Maybe that's beacuse the video marketing was targeting young adults and Nintendo's demographic for it's last previous consoles has been kids or famlies with kids.

So the NX is basically the cancelled Nvidia Shield II + a cool controller and dock.

L O f*cking L. I'll buy it discounted when early adopters get disenfranchised yet again.

If thats true I'm not a fan of the tiny storage.

I can't wait for this new version of the shield, considering it has nintendo exclusive games and support plus branding maybe the shield will actually see the success it deserves

Interesting selection of 3rd party developers backing the new system. However, I had hoped to see Kojima's new company on the list.

256 CUDA cores?

My GTX770 has 1536, and it's like 5 years old now.

I really don't see how this is going to work, it doesn't have the power to compete with the
other consoles, and there's no way I'd give something like this to my 7 year old daughter, way
too complicated, she'd lose half the parts the first day.

This seems like it's really being marketed more towards the ipad crowd, but they all hate real buttons on their devices.  My prediction, sells very well at first cause it's new, but once the novelty starts to ware off, the next version of the DS will appear.

I just searched youtube for Nintendo Switch reaction and found a video of the most irritating human being on the planet.

I suddenly don't want the Switch anymore

Searched again, and this...
