Re: Nintendo NX
It does look great, the "portable" version is sexy, doesn't look like a cheap toy anymore - the whole thing looks very sophisticated - I could see myself using one outside, while the Wii U looked a bit embarrassing to say the least.
Let's see how it goes, as always it's the games that will make or break it

Re: Nintendo Switch
Price might be an issue for many, but I can see this being a big hit with kids who like to make things:

Wouldn't be surprised if a big community pops up around modding/customizing these things.Nintendo has announced a new build-your-own-accessories line for the Switch console, dubbed Nintendo Labo. It will arrive on April 20 in the United States and Japan and April 27 in Europe.
Labo's two playsets, the $69.99 Variety Kit and the $79.99 Robot Kit, will come with marked cardboard sheets that must be punched and folded by players, along with connecting string, reflective stickers (for controller-sensing purposes), and other accessories. The foldable parts resemble everything from pianos to fishing rods, along with a full-body robot outfit. They accept both the Switch console and its Joy-Con controllers in various slots.

Re: Nintendo Switch
$69.99 for pieces of scored cardboard, I can't even...

I just think that they really believe that, ‘If we’re still novel, everything we do will work’. This isn’t going to work. Hardcore gamers will buy them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could put out a piece of cardboard and say that it’ll play Mario and they’ll buy it.
