Nintendo Switch Yay or Nay?

AahhahahhAH!!!

The Switch is very exciting and I wish it sells lots for Nintendo. That said, I do have some concerns, namely the online being up to par with PS4/XB1 and core game releases being more frequent.
 

I'll eat my own arse if this is a success. I suspect they will get a lot of early sales but they will drop off quickly. 

The problem as I see it, the Switch is competing not just with the xbox and PlayStation but also the iPad and mobile devices too. It's not good enough to beat the consoles and not enough battery life to compete with mobile devices,

IMO, the Switch is the worst part from all the other devices on the market squeezed together. If not for Nintendo's IP it would be DOA.

If this succeeds you better provide a YouTube video of you chowing down on your No-No spot.

The Q&A on Kotaku doesn't help Nintendo's cause much... Streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon or Hulu wont be supported at launch. Plus a lot of "We have nothing to announce at this time" for some key areas like virtual console...

I don't care, I'm really excited and I want one. 

I'm more excited that the Pyra is about to enter manufacturing. It's the sequel to the Pandora.
A cross between a nintendo ds and a linux laptop, but fits in your pocket and is designed for retro gaming.

For $299, what the hell, I'll get one. Even just for Zelda and Mario it would probably be worth it. Not really concerned about the tech specs, I already have a PS4 Pro and banging PC if I want to play high-end games. So this will just be a fun little addition on the side.

Exactly. I will be getting one, if not for me but for my youngest daughter. She's all over it.

Keep thinking I can get Zelda for the Wii U and save a lot of money. Then think, I'll have to get Switch anyway to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 later in the year... as broad as it's long.

The news of not running 1080p, and the need for a smartphone connection for game-chat just placed the tin hat on an already elaborate mess from Nintendo. Maybe the hoped rush for a March release is to try and address any buildup of bad news (such as a poor software list, or extortionate online game availability)?

The level of arrogance from the company had reached amazing proportions before the plane-wreck that was Wii-U (which some Nintendo execs will never admit was a failure).

The feather-bedding within NOA is amazing, to the point of pure incompetence seeing window seats a pay rise. But I think this could be the platform that breaks the board for the company's current executive pool. If they mess this up - then its a new change in governance, and that scares a lot of the old guard!
