Lol at everyone waiting for Zelda on Amazon. You missed the boat, it was up in middle the night and it's gone.

Also lol at people who think it will run better on WiiU based on nothing but a terrible stream and a hopeful guess.

I'm trying to figure out what accessories to pick up with this. The main unit is going to come with a power supply, right? The A.C. adapter is just for taking it on the go? This feels like a dumb thing to ask but this is the company who released the new 3DS with nothing to power it.

You mean internals? Not really. The screen is same size as WiiU gamepad and maxes at 720p.
Nothing on Achievements
No mentioned price for online, only notable thing is getting a game for a month, but unlike PSN/XBL, losing it at end of month.

What exactly is implied by paid online? If I want to do online multiplayer with someone, I can't unless I have a subscription? (After the free trial period, of course)

I just want to throw this out there: Consider March being an early release for the console, with an epic game finished. Really they could have waited until holiday 2017 for more games, but they know fans were desperate. Switch is going to blow Wii U out of the water. They have the right mindset on so many different aspects, including portable and creating custom controllers for the system.

I had a choice and I went with gray joycons.

I dislike the blue and pink together. If it was both blue or both pink I probably would of leaned towards a colored one but as is, naw.

I like the dual color look, and when they first showed the colors and having players using those colors, I was planning on getting them before they showed that you could just buy it that way.

One of the packs of Joycons they're showing on the Nintendo accessory site is the opposite color pack, so I'll probably get that plus another grip eventually, then I can either go for a matching set or the 2-color set. Maybe once they start selling refurbs like the Wii/Wii U stuff, I've gotten cheap Wiimotes that way.

It's all spelled out on their website.

You have to pay for online gameplay. Each month you get to play a game but after the month you have to buy it.

Well, you will want to make sure to buy the $70 pro controller. And if you want to huddle around the 7" screen with 3 other people besides yourself, you will want to get two more joycon's for only $90.

My big concern is that the joycons, Arms, and 1, 2 Switch, look like they're from an entirely separate console than the rest of the stuff they're showing. It's a home console that becomes portable with high quality games, AND it's a tablet with advanced wiimotes for mini games. It's super disjointed, they're trying to have their cake and eat it too and the side effect is that the controllers are like $70.

Also makes for a nightmare to market. I am a longtime gamer and know more about tech stuff than most people, and this poo poo is super confusing. Imagine how a parent deciding what console to buy for their kids feels like

That quoted post had to be an obvious troll attempt knowing how bad this system launch information presentation has been. So I was trying to be tongue in cheek. With everything we know, it's pretty much common fact not to purchase this right now unless you do not have a Wii U to play the new Zelda on come 3/3. Or, like throwing money into a fire pit. It's one of the most universally panned console launches to date, and even dwarves the anti-consumer friendly nickle and diming and lack of value with services that Xbox One did before they did their 180, which we know Nintendo won't do. They will go down with the ship before they admit their 190 mistakes they made with this.

I can't imagine any nongamer buying into motion mini games after they got their fill of Wii Sports, wasted money on a few other motion games that they played for like an hour each, then moved on like ten years ago.
