I think that Price and 3rd Party Launch list will be the key for most. If they come through with a strong 3rd party list of games at launch and in a year or so after, people will buy it. I liked that they showed Skyrim, (despite it being an older game) and NBA 2k17. Wii U is a nice system, but their are not enough good titles and the WiiU pad screen is not the greatest.

If they can keep it at that $300 price point, it think will sell. The fact that you can take it on the go, move to the couch on a screen that looks very good in the trailer, is a dope feature.

Only Nintendo has Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Smash Bros. Anyone that grew up with these games and still love them will want to buy. And if they drop a pokemon for the system, it could help it be a game changer as well.

The only "gimmick" this system has is that it can go mobile. That won't scare away devs like the motion controls and touchpad did. This is more of a traditional console than the Wii U by far. The only question is if they improved upon their online network. Although I don't buy Nintendo systems for 3rd party. I buy them for first party games.

I will be preordering as soon as available.

I sure hope Animal Crossing is a year one title.

I had huge concerns about this. The rumors sounded incomplete. I couldn't grasp it.

That video switched my mind. This is exactly what I thought it should be when I first read about this.

Very intrigued. Very impressed. Very interested.

I could care less about 3rd party titles personally.

I don't buy a Nintendo for that reason, as long as the have a much better first party game list this go around, I'll buy day one.

Man this looks good!

DickDalewood · 10-20-2016, 12:12 PM

^ That.

What they need is for their first party game to be completely on point. If that's happening, they offer a first party experience like no other console can.

I wonder what the price will be for this....if it's realistic then I might consider it eventually

Side note - I think if I acted like the people in the video I'd be mocked incessantly by the general public....people don't play games like that in real life...
