I like how they jammed shoulder buttons on each controller half.

They look uncomfortable as hell to use but it is kind of neat that the system basically has built-in 2-player support.

I'm expecting $300-350, as a native-720p device with what essentially is a Tegra X2, without the subsidies of whatever the closest-tech phone would be bringing down the price

Gonna say, I'm not sure any parent wants to buy a system where the super-expensive poo poo which you almost certainly can't buy separately is designed to be taken out in public and contains multiple detachable bits.

I realized that since both sides of the removable controller deal are wireless, there are no contacts to get mucked up by goony cheetofingers when it reconnects which means it's very likely using wireless even when it's physically connected

There was a patent filed by Nintendo that said it used infrared

Eh, probably. The highlights in the corners are kind of tripping me out and making me think they're a different shape.

Lol, well what I think we're seeing here is nintendos last console. They are probably going to charge 400+ for waggle tablet part deux. Honestly what is wrong with these retards at nintendo. Are they so convinced they can scam the consumerbase with overpriced gimmicky horse poo poo like the Wii again?

They make great software... just stop making retarded consoles nintendo. Just make games for other consoles, pc, and mobile phones. That's all you gotta do.

Fuuuuuuck I can't wait til March I need this poo poo immediately

It's so smart to have a console that unifies your development process instead of splitting it between handheld and console. Maybe now the next Smash Bros game can afford to have the Ice Climbers in it because it's not restricted by inferior hardware. And also hopefully a bunch of other stuff. Just inject that poo poo directly into my veins, Reggie.

I'm pretty shocked that the main rumors about this thing were all true. I've been conditioned to dismiss info from patents and stuff, probably from following iPhone news where it turns up a lot of red herrings.

It's awesome that the home and portable components all appear to be in a single package. I recall some old talk of the portable part not only being sold separately, but coming out a few months earlier than the rest of it. Glad there was no truth to that. I'm guessing in the box you get the dock, screen, 2 mini-cons, and that middle part for an assembled controller. Solid Pro-controller sold separately. If Wii / U controllers work that'd be neat, but I won't hold my breath.

I'm assuming its a solo Mario game because the level design looked wider, the camera was behind the back and not above the action, and there are hitpoints
