am i missing something?? it looks exactly like a wii u.. i haven't seen a single person outside of their house with a wii u since the system came out, not sure why they would continue this design.. as a massive fan of GBA/DS/3DS, i really wish nintendo would just make a console or a new handheld, because personally i'm underwhelmed by this screen-in-your-hand fad that they seem to love. I will continue to wait for the 3ds successor with bated breath, because i don't think there's a single console catalog, other than pc, that can compare to ds and 3ds

edit~ im retarded, BATED breath not baited

how is this even remotely near a WiiU ? it has a WiiU part (much better created too) but its a normal console + controller with the possibility of transforming itself in something ALONG THE LINES OF A WIIU (more of a 3ds tho, because you can take it out with you)

This isn't about the visual design...which isn't exactly good either.

So how can you judge the design from a screenshot exactly (for the Pro controller at least)? This looks like any standard controller ever made.

In fact, the layout is literally exactly that of the Wii U pro controller (an awesome controller), with the RS and 4 buttons switched. Their original positions was maybe the thing I liked the least. Is it "ewww" worthy?

i dont see how it's anything but a wiiu other than the dis-connectable controllers, which i don't see a use for other than couch multiplayer (the scenarios shown in the trailer will be few and far between, only MAYBE the mario kart in the back of a car scenario will happen).

The Wii U touchpad wasn't meant to be "mobile", it was a secondary screen, with the possibility of playing off-TV a few feet away as a gimmick. The Switch is meant to be mobile. How is it the same thing? It's completely different.

Are people just judging everything by the visual aspect without looking at purpose and use case nowadays? Twice already in this thread :D. The Apple effect.

couldn't you take the wii u with you outside of the house though??? i thought that was one of the original selling points.. does it steam from the console to the handheld, while the Switch has the gpu/processor in the handheld itself??

There was nothing computing-related in the Wii U touchpad, it was just a screen with added touch and button input. Yes, there is a GPU in the Switch. The Switch is the tablet-thing.

If you're looking for the closest thing to it, it's basically an Nvidia shield with detachable controller parts, Nintendo first-class support, and a docking station.

There is no such thing as "standard" controller. Also, you don't seem to have much knowledge of controllers. Excluding all the ones released for PC, this one borrows heavily from the XBOX line design which I completely abhor.

And yep, the right analog stick is the main reason. (Not that I like the Wii U pro controller anyway)

ah understood, thanks for the clarification. then the wii u had less functionality than i thought. great library but less than stellar console when it could have just been snes 2 instead

I had hoped the rumors weren't real.

Oh well. Maybe it'll be really good despite Nintendos crazy devotion to gimmick gameplay instead of just making a good console like they used to.

If this one has the right marketing

the Switch will blow the competition our of the water in Japan.

Pretty underwhelming tbh. But hey the most important part are the games, let's see if it will get actual third party support...

Not so much me knowing too little about controllers as you having way too specific expectations.
Any modern controller has basically 2 analog clickable sticks, 1 d-pad, 4 buttons, some variation of Start/Select, and 4 triggers. 2 triggers on each side, sticks paired with the d-pad on the left side, with the buttons on the right side, at a roughly 45° alignment, other buttons in the middle. That's my "standard" controller. Surprise, your dear Gamecube controller also fits that bill. Not my fault you're not capable of generalizing as much as me :D. What wouldn't have been standard (for me) is something like the Steam controller.

Now, I'm arguing that you have to wait for the feel in your hand to decide whether it's a good controller or not. It's not just a question of layout. And if you can't cope with the sticks being switched with d-pad/buttons, then indeed we have different "standards".

If you followed NX from the start (but maybe you didn't, in this case don't mind me), the trailer literally couldn't have been better.

Splatoon is a very good Wii U game, but it's more hopeful thinking from them that they can turn it into a global e-sport. Although I think they did some events in Japan?

Didn't follow it at all tbh.
I simply don't think that this "transportable" concept is a good one and this video really focused a lot on that.
But as i said, the games are the important part, if the console has enough power maybe third party support will be good.
