Alright time for the big boy opinions.
I'd give the presentation a 7.5/10. While I'm still weary on the whole system, seeing some games made me feel slightly better about the whole thing.
Release date is my birthday, March 3rd worldwide, at around $299, so £249 would be my bet for Europe. Currently the only games that will release on the day are Zelda, 1-2 Switch and Arms. I might be off by a few, but I know those will be the ones for sure.
The games shown ranged from meh to really interesting. A new SMT game that's just in development was announced for the Switch, a new Mario game supposedly set in New York with Mario 64 esque world gameplay was announced, looks really good. Splatoon 2 as well. Xenoblade 2 and a new Fire Emblem were announced. No More Heroes sequel was announced along with that, so that'll be good.
Personally, it looks as good as the Wii U did when it was announced. So take that as you will. I'll probably get it day one for Zelda, it'll keep me occupied for a long time.
Biggest fucking blunder though, you now have to pay for online. Thanks Microsoft and Sony.
My wishes for the system overall is that Nintendo will try and bring back some old titles to the system. I'd love to see a new F-Zero or Metroid on the system, or for them to get their third parties to bring something onto there. Sega have tons of IP's for the taking, so they should really look into them the most.
