299.99 Price tag. That seems very interesting.

Some the games look pretty cool. Glad they are merging everything into the Nintendo Account system.

now that i think about it, its a japanese company. the shield tablet also had a console that came out, but that was from a us company. i had a shield tablet and i dropped it and broke it, i dont think ill take the switch anywhere.

maybe the hard case will protect it good.

That Zelda will be released with it is a huge plus. People were worried it would be delayed.

Music files and photos are so basic, they would be stupid not to do that. I also find it interesting that Nintendo is now charging for online like PlayStation and Xbox

Sorupaa, the Tablet is the new Console. Now if you are referring to a traditional console like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One I think those days for Nintendo are over. Nintendo's user base has a high percentage of mobile\hand held gamers. I think the only reason this thing came with a docking station to TV connection was for the NA and EU markets. Gamers in Asia will be using the mobile aspect the most. There really is no room for another home console. People either want PC, PlayStation or Xbox.

ya, only in japan would they do it that way though

pluse theres two other consoles already like you said

if this was the only console they probably would have the home console, then have the tablet that costs a little more.

i wish there was one console, i havent owned a playstation since the ps2

Yup, Nintendo never fails to disappoint when it comes to Super Mario and always giving it a fresh new take on the series.

I do see the points in this article.

Again the price is mentioned. 299 dollars for the base system and no game included.

But the most worrisome thing is that only 4 games will be released at the same time, including the Zelda game. The Mario game won't be coming out until later in the year, and other games also such as Elder Scrolls. Does Nintendo expect gamers to be playing Zelda for 5, 6 months until other franchise games come out?

Nintendo really has to be careful with this one.

I loved playing with the Switch, but Nintendo needs to get its act together

It seems storage will be in the MicroSDXC card format. The highest capacity I am able to find is 256 GB and there are not many options for it. The popular cards are in the 64-128 GB range. Is that enough space? It also seems Nintendo wants one user per tablet. I know the tablet allows local multiplayer, but in the marketing you see many scenario where everyone has their own tablet. Curious if the tablet will allow for multiple accounts per tablet.

I see a couple problems. Their relationship with NA 3rd parties seems forced. The Japanese 3rd parties is who they will to turn to to file out software. I also think only releasing a home based system is a bad idea. They should also create a mobile only package that contains the tablet, AC charger and Joy Cons for a lower price point. Not everyone will need the dock, HDMI cable and grip. Forcing people to get the home only set up for 299.99 may folks to wait on a price drop.
