Nile Boogie Returns:
The dock is far too thick to only be a connection to the tv. The side view is almost 3x as thick as the switch itself. It has to be doing some processing.

When the video first started I thought I heard a ringtone and was like...oh **** its a phone!!

Oedo:
Seeing Square Enix and Silicon Studio on that list of developers reminds me that Square Enix teased some news for the Bravely Series about a week and a half ago, and haven't said anything about it since. If they were teasing Bravely Third and it was a 3DS game, I would think they would have wanted to get out in front of this news with an announcement, so maybe Bravely Third for Nintendo Switch? It would certainly be nice to have some new JRPGs on the system early.

Agent-X-:
I agree regarding the dock, but assuming every last detail that Emily Rogers reported is true, then this whole package tops out at just below Xbox One power. I'm not incredibly enthused. Still missing from any rumor or teaser is glasses-free 3D. Not a must-have but considering Nintendo pioneered and perfected it, it would be oddly missing from a portable experience.

I would still like for them to consider a bit of future proofing in this concept. I just hate to think that the competition is already 1.5x ahead of their original PS4 and Xbox One offerings. To think that this package might not even keep pace with the Xbox One is worrying when it comes to 3rd Party support.

Still, I expect 3rd Party support to be light years ahead of Wii U.

Soren:
Opinion time!

I really think Nintendo nailed the messaging for the Switch. With Sony and Microsoft focusing their efforts on competing with the PC space, Nintendo's best option was to appeal to the middle ground of gamers not interested in a technological arms-race and those in the casual sphere. In addition, it may have gained some respect from hardcore gamers.

"Can you play beautiful console-designed versions of Skyrim, Zelda and NBA 2k on your phone? You can't, but with Switch you can and you will."

Of course that's only part of the equation. Now they need to nail the pricing, the online details and the games. You need to win over those developers who aren't on the official list yet.

Also, Splatoon is trending worldwide on Twitter even though it was practically an afterthought in the trailer. Switch already has a killer-app in Japan.
