Ahhhh, it's everything and more. They nailed the reveal perfectly!

I noticed it's got asymmetric sticks and a little tiny d pad.

I'm pretty sure that's Mario Kart 8 but with some enhancements, the UI and the track we see is the same but King Boo is new and you can also hold two items.

Soren:
I am a bit bummed with the split D-pad on the Joy-Con but I can understand why they did it. I can still see myself using the Pro Controller more often.

The Lucky Moose:
It looks amazing. The idea of a hybrid was always great and looks like a brilliant execution. I'm so pumped.

Also, my professional opinion as a marketeer (*cringe*) is that the name is good, but the clicking sound is brilliant.

Luigi Dude:
Looks like the 3D Mario footage also shows Mario doing the triple jump again, which was removed in 3D World. There's also a heart icon on the right side of the screen in that Bullet Bill platforming section, which probably means a health system closer to the the previous 3D Mario's before 3D Land/World as well. So yeah I think it's safe to say, even with a few second of footage, the next 3D Mario is going to be closer to the either 64/Sunshine or Galaxy, then it is to 3D Land/World in terms of design.

And for Mario Kart, with King Boo playable as well as the ability to hold what looks like 2 items at once this is going to be a brand new title, probably even called Mario Kart 9. I imagine though they're just blatantly reusing the exact same engine and will probably still include a shitload of stages from MK8, but don't be surprised if we still get at least 16 new stages, because this is going to be considered a new installment. By the time the Switch comes out, it'll have been 3 years since the base game of Mario Kart 8 was released and 2 years since the last DLC was release. That's plenty of time for the Mario Kart team to make a new installment during that time and for marketing reasons alone is something Nintendo would want since new games make bigger impacts on sales then ports.

rygar:
Well, I was planning on figuring out how many gameplay hours I still have left on the 3DS to see if I really needed this. But that's because I wasn't expecting support from Bethesda and figured the software library would be similar enough to what's already being offered by Nintendo. I could probably spend the entirety of 2018 on Skyrim and Breath of the Wild alone. I'm almost certain to buy it in 2017 now. I'm super hyped. It's almost like they had me in mind when developing this.
