Launch is less the 2 months away. It's pretty set in stone at this point. Any game releasing at launch basically has to already be gold.

I was mildly interested in the Switch (was even considering the possibility of buying one) up until the presentation. Now that I've watched it and know a lot more "set in stone" things about it, I've basically lost all interest. The only Nintendo "consoles" I've ever owned myself have been all their handheld devices (Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS, 3DS XL, and now a New 3DS XL). And while the Switch is most likely replacing the 3DS, I have zero desire to invest in it now. While I was never a huge Nintendo fan to begin with, they've lost a potential customer, most likely for good, with their upcoming Switch.
Oh well. I guess that frees up all my game time for my X1 and PC going forward.

I don't quite get why, but in my country (Denmark) it looks like it will cost €671 which is just blatantly too much. If it's true it will be cheaper to just import it, given that there's no region locking.
So I just searched a few different stores and it seems that it was just a temporary price, because some stores seem to have it for €403 now. But you're absolutely right, that's way too much. They should've learned from their mistakes with the WiiU, instead it seems they just tried to do the same thing again but even worse (paid online, barely any new games).
Even for someone like me who is interested in BotW, I won't buy a Switch for that, especially not when they have said it will launch on the same date for the WiiU which I already own. Also, according to Giant Bomb there's virtually no difference between the two versions; they both have frame drops and stutters (which is a shame).
KH3 is UE4 not Frostbite. The SMT game they announced for switch is running on UE4. UE4 is really scalable, so any games on it could be downgraded pretty hard if they really wanted to make ports happen. Still I don't see it happening, and I think regardless most people would rather play the game on PS4 or have it ported to PC in the first place.

So let's take time to point out how full of shit the "leaks" where.
No Mario/Rabbids RPG.
No Beyond Good and Evil 2.
No Mother 3 port.
Zelda isn't a launch title, oh wait it is a launch title but only in NA oh wait it's a launch title everywhere.
Smash 4 port no where to be found.
Splatoon port comes with system... oh wait it's a sequel not coming out until months later.
Dark Souls 3 is running on the system!(LUL)
Granted some of these things could still happen, but you would think if they where anywhere close to accurate they would of been showing some of this instead of wasting time with Sega and EA excecs talking about non existent games they have no footage of.

Reports I was watching and reading after I woke up said the Wii U and undocked Switch versions(which are both 720p) run better then the docked version(which runs at 900p). As we have seen with ps4 pro even increasing resolution comes at a cost even when you're getting more juice out of the hardware. Seems the frame rate is sketchy in docked mode because of the forced res bump. Knowing Nintendo they won't give you the option of running docked mode at 720p for better performance either.
Also all comparisons to the Wii U version are from a 7 month old build. The fact people are saying the e3 build ran better then the docked version is red flags all over for me, that Wii U version has 7 months of polish added to it.
I'll hold out until we see some new builds but the demo in 2.8 still looks like a slightly upgraded PS3 game ala Persona 5. Nothing graphically impressive at all. Ni No Kuni 2 looks more impressive graphically and it's a much lower budget game.
If KH3 starts looking like Ratchet and Clank I would agree, but right now it's not even close.
So much negativity. I can't wait to pick this thing up and dive into BOTW and that new Mario game looks great. They're even talking about Metroid... How can someone be so against this?

This is what I don't get. It's region free. So Canada can just buy it from the states and EU can just buy it wherever it's cheapest. Their goal was 299 but they didn't bother to keep it

Becuase botw is launching at the same time for wiiu and mario is a year away. If you pick it up just for zelda you're stupid. It literally only has 5 games and I know you ain't getting just dance and skylanders and the only Gane you'll play in the go is zelda. And you know their vc is shit to. Look at the wiiu it look years to have a decent VC and it still doesn't have much compared to the wii

I received a day one ORAS demo code. I am a chosen one.
Girls are a hoax created by the Japanese anime industry to scam otaku out of their money.
Guess I just got unlucky. I woke up at about 6 AM EST and trained until 9 AM then went to sleep at 10 AM. No go on Gamestop because my state doesn't tax online transactions, but brick and mortars do if you order online from them. No idea why Amazon didn't send me an email about preorders going up, that's fucking ridiculous. I have both Switches signed up for notifications and I got nothing about either of them.

Its because of your counties taxes and so on.
Btw, I love Nintendos art style in games but damn is it annoying to still see shitty AA in their games. Like the new mario game, when he was in the city, man that looked bad :/
I love Nintendo games but if I buy a swtich, that will be later down the road.
Like, whats the actual specs? Do we know all specs yet or is it speculation? Always been pretty much on Nintendos side but man Im annoyed when they cant even use propper AA for their stylised games in this age.
If you are heavy in to handheld gaming I guess its amazing but besides that, seems like an extremly minor upgrade from Wii U, if it even is an upgrade?
