I don't like it.
One thing I love and hate about Nintendo, is that they try to be different and bring people together. They have the mentality of the 80's and 90's, so while Microsoft and Sony want to bring people together online, Nintendo want to bring people together locally, to play games together offline in unique and interesting ways. When I saw the Wii U the first time round, I thought it would be a cool console, I mean the idea was you could have a console ON THE GO and other cool stuff that could be implemented, and in the end I was let down by third parties and Nintendo themselves. The console wasn't a failure, but it sure as hell wasn't a success.
This just seems like "Hey guys, let's take the Wii U idea and make it work" but that's the thing, it won't work. Gamers today don't want something like this, especially from Nintendo. They want a normal console from Nintendo with no "gimmicks" and some actual games. All they really want is a Gamecube 2, not a Wii 3.
I don't know, maybe I'm just looking at this from the Wii U perspective and it just reminds me of how that went. Personally I don't think it will do too well, but I will still get one because the Wii U had some gems and this console will be no different.
