Seriously who is going to play like this?
Me after I play a quick pick up game?
 
How many different controller variations does this thing have? Watching the video it seems like everyone has a different variation.
 
I kinda dig the aesthetics. Looks quality. It's nice to see the more standard "pro" design. Kudos for going with offset sticks Ninty! I hope it's not telling that they only showed the mobility aspects and not the games, though I did see a Mario game there. It's also cool that the Nintendo-only guys look to get a version of Skyrim :)

Also looks like just about every rumor was true. Let's hope it's more powerful than rumours suggested.

How powerful can it really be running Tegra?
 
It won't be powerful. For gaming on the go it is WAY too big. Bringing it anywhere for party gaming is absolutely BRILLIANT, but the controllers for multiplayer are awful and unusable rendering it useless and the screen is too small. Way too small for multiplayer party gaming. The controller looks like trying to use a Firestick remote to play games on. Battery life must be abysmal also.
 
Hey Plainview, there's something really weird going on with the forum specifically in this thread. Whenever I click a page number in this thread, my phone asks me if I want to dial the number of the page.

It's freaking me out.

No other forums bring up this prompt. And no other threads in this forum does either. Just this thread.

Nintendo threads aren't used to this much traffic. It can't handle it!

Phone, os, browser type? iPhone and iPad = no issues.

Come on, Plainview. Be a little more positive here. The nintendo switch will find it place among the other two console just fine.
 
I like it so far for some reason I can't explain yet. Third parties support looks good so far.

As much as I like what I see so far those are all valid points. It looks pretty big for a single person use portable and tiny for group use, and those breakaway controllers...

Phuck, no need to get an eye exam, if you can see all the sh!t going down on that tiny screen you've definitely got perfect vision...

It's pretty much an nVidia Shield so should still be a decent system. As for battery life, it's a little old but maybe an idea of what we'll see: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7190/nvidia-shield-review-tegra-4-crossroads-pc-mobile-gaming/9

Where does it fit in? It can't be used for portable gaming. It's WAY too big. Portable multiplayer play, just look at the video. For a home console it would work well if it wasn't so underpowered. We don't know the specs, but I'm not betting on it being much in the ways of power. I'm expecting Wii U, at best, but portable.
