OT: Nintendo Switch Announced

Nintendo has finally announced their new console the Nintendo NX Switch.
Reveal Video

I'm curious what other gamers think about the new console.

My takeaways:

  • While the ability to seamlessly switch between home console and handheld is cool, it still feels a little gimmicky to me
  • The games that were shown in the reveal video showed a pretty wide range of genre, it looks like Nintendo is really trying to get back into the mainstream market rather then staying in the casual niche they've occupied since the Wii days
  • I have some concern about the move back to mini cartridges for games, to me this implies that games may be limited in size and/or have a much high cost then games on other consoles
  • Was hoping for price details to be released along with the reveal video but so far nothing, this could play a big part in the success of the console

In the end this is definitely the last stand for Nintendo if they want to keep producing hardware, but from what I can gather in a 3 minute video they seem to be headed in the right direction to get back in the game.
