Well that's a great list but let's remember the Wii U was supposed to have alot of 3rd party support yet it never materialized. I hope this time all goes well, nothing better than 3 strong competitors in the gaming industry. I'd love to see Nintendo come roaring back to a major contender with a mix of their traditional family friendly titles and some hardcore games.

If Red Dead 2 gets released on the Switch, that's absolutely the one I'm buying.

most important of them all Capcom...only a Monster hunter will save this thing and only in japan imo

Yeah it is NBA for sure that was in the reveal trailer

There's a separate pro controller for the Switch. You can either detach the side controllers and use individually, you can slide them into this thing which makes a makeshift pro controller (probably for when you're out and about but want a normal controller, so you don't have to carry separately) but there's also an actual pro controller.

And by the looks of it, it may have swappable components (ie put dpad where you want it, analogs where you want it, swap out more buttons, etc)

I'm only using the sidepads when I'm playing it like a gameboy. I will never let another player have to play with a crummy half-controller. If I decide to play two-player on the go, I'm bringing the pro-controller. Infact, I hardly ever see a situation where I'm detaching the sidepads and playing two-player in the middle of nowhere. I'm leaving them on. Two-player is for the TV, and Single player is for on the go.

I am so sick of games with super graphics and cinematic focus where gameplay seems like it was an after thought in the development process. If the Switch can offer a diverse selection of quality, gameplay centric games then the graphical trade off is more than welcome. Ive had a PS4 for almost 2 years and Ive been bored with it for more than half that time. The only upcoming games that I'm excited for are Ace Combat 7, and the possibility of a new Armored Core game.

Some might argue that it is not all about graphics and I might agree to that BUT it is also important to consider the games that are going to be released. Why is there less support for the WiiU from 3rd parties? Because the hardware does not meet the standard. So in order to really make those partnerships flourish they need to be able to compete with the PS4(Pro) X1(Scorpio). Nintendo so far survived because they have an amazing history of own published games and some exclusives like Monster Hunter and Pokemon.

Agreed. How many times have we expressed concern that Nintendo focused too much on handheld games, basically doing to the Wii U what most 3rd parties did by excluding the Wii U. They effectively cannibalized their own system. Assuming the 3DS is being phased out soon after Switch releases, without having to split the libraries, there shouldn't be any "droughts" Getting this on release, for sure. Nintendo is making the right moves here, and I'm excited for the possibilities.
