I had my reservations about another gimmicky console but this won me over. Here are some random thoughts.

I’m glad we get a regular controller again when playing on a TV
I’m glad that Nintendo is seamlessly merging console and handheld gaming, the screen is big and it’s resting place is on the console itself
I’m very glad that this system seems to be getting a lot of 3rd party support out of the gate which means if the console sells well even more developers will try to get in on the action.

I’m hoping that this console will be able to run most if not all games at 1080p and 60 fps
I don’t like the mini controller thing since it’s reminiscent of the shoddy way one could use a Wiimote like a NES controller
I think the D-pad is terrible; I don’t think Nintendo has made a controller with a good D-pad since the SNES.
