“The Switch is a creative new console without the Wii U’s stupid central gimmick; it’s more powerful and has loads of great games coming! The Nintendo Switch almost certainly feels like a console that will release 1-3 solid exclusive games a year, and not all that much else, exactly like the Wii U. Yes, Zelda will give the Switch a stronger launch than the Wii U, almost automatically. The one significant advantage the Switch has over both the Wii U, Wii and every console before it, is the portability, but that’s something Nintendo barely touched on at all during its presentation. It still has to deal with perhaps the most challenging marketplace Nintendo has ever faced, squaring off against smartphones and tablets, which themselves may now have Nintendo games on them.
