They showed off some Mario Odyssey gameplay in the Japanese stream and he has his entire moveset back with additions on top of the new mechanics involving the hat.

That's worth price of admission for me.

Make it into a free Animal Crossing-lite. In my dream they even create a sort of alt-Achievement system where every game on the Switch, instead of having mandatory cheevos, has a piece of clothing or furniture or something that you can earn to add to your Mii's pad.

Yeah, PS Home actually did stuff like that where Trophies earned in some games would unlock furniture and clothing content for your character. With something more low-fi like a Mii you could probably get away with doing all sorts of weird stuff with a system like that.

Oh yea, a cool advantage for the Switch is that the dock would also be easy to carry and you could bring it to someone else's TV easily

Are any of the launch Switch games 4 players?

I found the Vita screen almost unbearably small and low res years ago. My last five phones have been 5.7 to 6" and at least 1080p, the last two were 1440p. Hard to go back.

Okay, but what's your pants size?

PS Vita crossed with Wii U. It will either be amazing or Nintendo will cease to acknowledge its existence in 2 years.

Much like the Wii-U, playing it on a TV with a Pro Controller will be where it's at. At least for Breath of the Wild.

Very cool to see a new Mario 64 style game for sure, love seeing him flipping around. (3D World was pretty cool too)

One time a bunch of my friends and I, played 8 player smash all on the Wii U tablet screen because we didn't have a TV. Well it wasn't good, really, but we managed so I'm sure two people playing on a bigger higher res screen can work if they're close enough

It's funny because a lot of these old revivals really cater to 4 or more players with just one Switch they should've emphasized the Switch's party potential as a feature in the presentation.

another thought:

All the talk about Nintendo competing with 249 consoles is disengenuous, because... they're not. It's competing with the PS4 Pro and the Scorpio once it releases. Sony is already doing its absolute best to de-incentivize the purchase of the Slim, much in the same way Nintendo did with the New Nintendo 3DS and its previous games' model. The performance of games on the Slim is markedly worse, they're motivated to sell new models of TVs, and before long, the Slim is going to be less and less worthwhile as a purchase.

You can guarantee that the Scorpio will be the exact same way.

That's not something Nintendo can really do anything about, nor is it something the industry is typically concerned with.

Too bad the Pro Controller is no where in sight. I'm convinced it's not going to be ready for launch at this point, what other reason could there be that it hasn't showed up for pre-order anywhere? There are people who won't want to play Zelda on the Switch, me included, without it so they have reason to be not forthcoming with details about it.

Why not? It's not like you can't use the joycons and the thing they connect to.

But that's okay, you can take your rattle and watch the big boys play.
