Recap from GAF.
Looks like out of all the Switch features and presentation, HD Rumble is thing that stuck out the most with devs??!?!? Who knew. I thought HD Rumble would be among the least important things shown.

Remember when they would talk about the rumble features in the XBone and how they could make you feel a fireball shoot out and away from you? The only game I can think of that uses the nonstandard application of it is the Forza Series. I love it and think it really adds a lot, but it very underutilized. I see the same happening here.
Why the hell doesn't Nintey publish that then?! It's like they go out of their way to seem archaic...
They did publish some official specs, but only for some components. Things like cpu/gpu are labeled simply as "NVIDIA customised Tegra processor". There's also no point in them promoting to everyone to check out their specs when everyone knows it will be weak.
They are also misleading too. For "System Memory", they are talking about the 32gb HDD, as opposed to RAM. Nobody calls a console or PC harddrive (or storage) by having 500gb of system memory, but Ninty does.
On their site, they don't even say anything about RAM.

It doesn't say anything bout using a headset via the Switch unit for voice chat. It just lists the audio jack: " For connecting commercially available headphones, microphones, and headsets"
You would think the Switch was a shoe in to be the best selling console of all time with how much attention it gets. Crazy how many people just put down Nintendo but they're more worried about it than the console they do like. I sense a lot of bad blood from all the companies Nintendo was able to make look foolish and still look foolish to this day. They hate keeps coming, and they just keep rolling along.
Very smart move for Nintendo to do a commercial during the Super Bowl. It better be positioned properly though.
Pretty good commercial.
I wonder what people will make of the 1, 2 Switch segments? Probably WTF? Like the rest of us.

Nintendo to charge $18-$25 a year for their online service...
That may explain why a external smart device is needed for chat (crappy hardware design if true).

Sick commercial. Tom Brady coming for that 5th ring and Nintendo coming for the gaming crown. It's going to be a good Sunday.
Sold out real quick. Man the butthurt from the haters will be strong if this system is a success
These Nintendo commercials really strike me that they are trying hard to capture the 16-30 year olds by making it seem "cool". I have heard in Asia it's common to see this demographic walking about with their 3DS handhelds but it's not something I see in North America.
I don't see this market taking on to what the commercials portray. If they replaced those actors with 5-15 year old kids then they would be striking a chord. Maybe they think they already have them on board and are trying to expand their reach.
Do the 18-30 year olds here see this as something you will be doing with your friends out in the open?
(And while I am a somewhat "hater" of what Nintendo came up with, I would LOVE to be wrong and see this succeed. I am all for a healthy industry and support it fully, including a pre-order here. But it won't curtail me from thinking this will flop like WiiU).

Man, I was about to answer this when I realised that I am now closer to 40 than 30.... Awww, now I'm depressed!
Not very compelling. Let's face it, this is all about Zelda and the only reason that is the case is because Nintendo held it back to screw the WiiUsers and make something compelling for Switch. Can you imagine if Zelda had come out 6 months ago how much excitement there wouldn't be for Switch launch?

It will sell out at launch...will it still be selling in a years time?
No one knows, but like I said the butthurt from the haters will be strong if it's a success. I'm rooting for it just for that.
