If the mobile screen/controller can run hd graphics, they may have something really cool here

It would be awesome if 3DS cartridges are compatible (despite the lack the dual screen). Just need to carry around one device. Would just need to unify the Nintendo eShop and people's digital libraries.

That's definitely not happening, but that would be super nice.
I'm actually pretty hyped about this! I got some small hands so no worries here about them miniature controllers Laughing

The design is pretty cool and the concept is interesting, but man is its battery life going to be shit.

Looks like I'll still need to use my PS3 as a DVD/BD player though. Hopefully, streaming services make their way to the system right away, including FUNimationNow. And hopefully, Crunchyroll can make a proper app for the system.

Oh Nintendo, why? What are they going to do when whatever crowd they are hoping to bring in(my guess is the casual phone market) doesn't buy it, drop it early and and make something new or build something else to desperately try and bring in audiences who don't care. I wonder how long before 3rd party support stops?

Its not 4K HDR so why bother. Their system will be destroyed by Playstation in E3 next year.

Oh good the new console won't be total trash after all. Time to save up for the Switch and Zelda: Breathe of the Wild (the only reason I'm getting the console).

Bruh 4K isn't everything, the new PS4 Pro can't even do native 4K and it's an even more pointless project.

The tech concept is sound, the issue is that jerk offs will try to steal it from people trying to play it more regularly than a cell phone.

Next gen Microsoft and Sony will be in 4K HDR, Nintendo Switch's best games will look like 1st year PS2 games by comparison. Ninty needs to future proof their consoles, were speding hundreds of dollars, so it shouldnt be outdated in six months. didn't they learn from Wii, Wii U and 3DS?

Nah. Playstation and Nintendo have a different audience. People never bought Nintendo Consoles and Games for the graphics, did they ?
