@vegaphil You don't know me and if you can read or actually read my comment I have valid reasons to feel this way. Furthermore years ago I would have defended Nintendo as I was once a blind fan boy as yourself. If there is such division among Switch in the Nintendo community judging from various sites and comments I've been to and read. I highly doubt there going to keep their dwindling fan base of 13.86 million Wii u owners or even their full fanbase of 3DS. So then whats left. I highly doubt people with a ps4 or xbox or whatever other non Nintendo system wants to fork out over 500 to 600 dollars for the hardware and peripherals to an underpowered system that graphically when they showed comparisons of MK 8 and Splatoon running on Wii u and Switch the difference isn't enough to justify a purchase in my opinion. I grew up on nintendo for 30 years before you go further and use I'm a troll excuse just because I feel Nintendo has changed over the years and don't care about listening to what consumers want. That spark and magic I used to feel died with the switch and I couldn't even make it through the presentation I turned it off after about one or two minutes of watching
A quote from Reggie from a previous article Reggie's own quote on Wii u, "Reggie also had an interesting comment regarding the Wii U's failure, admitting that the company was never clear enough on why consumers should make the jump to the console."
Quite honestly rinse and repeat when it comes to switch. Those trailers who exactly are they marketing too. Is it casual gamers or is it Wii U owners. In my honest opinion I have been an on and off again gamer for 30 years and I draw the line at the Wii U when it comes to Nintendo anyway. The Switch to me looks like a slightly improved Wii u in terms of graphics and power. I by no means am a graphics junky but from what I've seen so far when they show MK8 comparisons and Splatoon comparisons are so minimal to me. I feel that nintendo really isn't giving me a reason to want to upgrade and furthermore seeing the division among nintendo sites makes me wonder how are they going to get other gaming communities interested in this. Over priced hardware and peripherals that will run about 500 to 600 by the time you get the console and accessories with no games still. No thanks I have invested enough in Wii- U and the Switch honestly the only positive thing going for is portability but then again only 2.5 hour to 3 hour battery life. Well it was nice while it lasted goodbye Nintendo at least for this generation. I will not be making the Switch.
Last night my wife and I were laughing at how lame the switch looks and their pricing of it. I too think it will have a shorter life span than the Wii - U. I'm also calling it that they will sell a little under the Wii - U. When you factor in some Wii-U owners that will upgrade as well as 3DS owners.
@cheonsacz. I gave you a heart as well but unfortunately like you said only can give one of them. Funny thing though is when I was seven years old. I remember new neighbors moved next door and that was my first experience playing Nintendo. I saved up every penny and when I saved 107.00 for the the 8 bit console back in 1987 I was so excited I ran to the store when we got to the mall. Fast forward to 2017 and now quite the opposite. I am now running away from Nintendo - LOL. Back then still a business to make profits of course but something has drastically changed about this company and basically they don't care what consumers want anymore. Oh well I have no regrets and only wanted to give my two cents about how I feel about the Switch and they still don't get it. To me they lost that same spark and magic they had and my excitement has died towards Nintendo. I will still play my Wii - U which I do actually love and buy as many Wii - u titles and wii titles before they are hard to find and the price gets jacked up on Ebay.

Before anyone bashes these comments since this is a Nintendo site. I am a Nintendo fan. I have owned all their hardware except Wii only because I wasn't gaming at the time and to be honest this is the only console that has rubbed me the wrong way for mainly the reasons I already mentioned before.
I actually never have commented on this site before but I signed up just to throw my two cents out there. First a little on my gaming history grew up on Nintendo but as I got older grew out of gaming for a very long time but have owned all their Home consoles except Wii. each generation my game library and time dwindled. Fast forward I was at game stop in march of 2013 and saw a Wii U. Never heard of it before nor aware of its commercial failure. I'm one that doesn't buy into hype and have a specific and unique taste. For whatever reason I fell in love with the wii u system and now almost four years later I have a great library of games that I can enjoy with my daughter and some games to me are the best in the series. I understand lack of third party support is not here but being a parent that doesn't want anything offensive or nudity or strong language this system and games suits me well. Ever since the announcement of NX. I was slightly intrigued but not hyped. The more leaks and rumors made me less and less interested. Then the first reveal about a month ago or so. I watched with my wife and we thought the ad of a bunch of people playing on the go and the corny music we both being nintendo only people were appauled at how all the fanboys were jumping up and down and yet it looked terrible to us. slightly improved graphics over the Wii u but nothing to get excited about and to be quite honest being a hybrid was the only positive thing. Those joy con controllers look horrible and too small for anyone with big hands and just flat out awkward. No mention of hardware specs and a full out detail on it was as if there hiding the fact its basically a slightly tweaked Wii - u. Now on to this presentation I could hardly watch it and ended up fast forwarding most of it. Breath of the Wild in my honest opinion had some terrible voice acting and was bland and dry. The original trailers for the Wii - u had more personality and charm to it. Mario odyssey looked odd and out of place and the backgrounds did not do the game justice. I could careless about Warrior dynasty crossover. Paid online sucks for those who game online but I don't but its still wrong when you have the weakest online service anyway. Slightly graphical improvements for MK8 and splatoon 2. Who cares. Yeah i get to buy the same game again that is slightly running better than its Wii u version. I understand that this is just the first wave of games but they all seem to lack something to me. Like Nintendo is trying to hard to branch out and they just seem different to me and I'm not one to buy into hype or force myself to like something when I do not. This Switch makes me appreciate my Wii U even more and I will gladly not make the switch. Everything about this system rubs me the wrong way. Also I hardly doubt anyone that moved over XBOX or PS4 or PC gamers are going to be interested. In fact I bet of their 13 million Wii u user base they may only keep about half of that and I'm one of those they just lost at least for this generation maybe on board for their next console if its something to actually get excited about. For the life of me I can't see what anyone is hyped about when it comes to the switch.
