Man that was a thing.
They could have knocked it out of the park and instead we got monked.
I want to state that I was pretty excited about the switch. Now I hope they show more/better stuff between now and March 3rd or I will probably hold off until end of 2017/18.
I'll start with some PROS:
1) Lots of RPGs in development which is something I am looking forward to. SMT/FE/Xenoblade 2 - good start but all in development.
That Square-enix game looks nice, (hope it gets a US release. )
2) Zelda looks great and confirmed launch title.
3) USB type C (corrected)
CONS:
1) Start with Mario. Always. They started with some non-info info and ice cube simulator.
2) Prices across the board are at least 15% too high overall. I suspect they will go down at some point (maybe even before the end of the year). They could have made a splash at 250. At 300 it should have the 1 2 switch game and pro-controller and a 350 version with that and more storage.
2a) Side point what is the storage? Has that been confirmed at 32GB? Yikes.
3) No details really on the "paid" service? why even mention it? If it included access say all the nintendo back catalog from OG nintendo through say GC yeah I would pay 10$ a month for it. I think they would have mentioned it though if that is what this ends up being. So far its just for chating setting game dates? we got phones, its 2017 nintendo.
4) No details on the UI/Store/Accounts.
5) The trailers were very lack luster minus Zelda and Mario (Personally I don't have much interest in 3D mario but I am glad to see its return). FE had absolutely nothing but some text and a hand. SMT had nothing either. Splatoon was alright, but nothing new as far as I could tell. Nothing from Sudo 51 besides one slide of art... why even have him there? WHY?
6) no mario maker, no pokemon, no monster hunter these should have been no brainers to show/present have ready at or very close to launch. Especially since mario oddessy is at least 9-10 months away. How and why do they think they can launch without a mario game? What on earth have they been doing for the entire year off they have had from doing jack all for the WiiU and barely anything for the 3DS? Edit: Also hey you could have made a real metroid game that would have people excited as well. WHAT ARE YOU DOING NINTENDO?
7) ARMs is a full priced 60$ video game
8) Skyrim on the go is something no one asked for. I am glad its on a nintendo system, but man, anything new? No? Pass.
9) Battery life - man they should have just said up to six hours and left it at that because 2.5 is not acceptable. Hopefully that is on maybe some super intensive game that is using wifi while compiling some videos and it leans closer to 4-5 hours on average.
