Well, it's a hybrid after all. In hindsight, this makes sense given that the rumors to date only talked about a single device.
Guess I shouldn't have believed Nintendo when they said it wouldn't be a hybrid, then!

Everything sounds awesome. Especially the detachable controller parts.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
No AV out port. Probably connects wit the TV wirelessly, reverse of Wii U.

If this is supposed to dock to a TV, I doubt it'll be dual-screen.
That article mentions a dock.
Aaaahahahahahah
Aaaahahahahahahah
Oh god. This is too good. :'D
I wish I could say that I don't believe Ninty would be so far off-mark, but... I can't at all.
Either way I'm really sodding intrigued. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Fuck backwards compatibility. I'm not going to pay a fifth time for old Zelda or Mario games. Enough is enough.
Well, if it's a handheld then of course.

How will people play smash on this thing seriously?
Lets wait and see before calling doom about its design. I highly doubt Nintendo is going to do another Gameboy or original DS and release a massive clunky handheld by default.

Nintendo outright said it wasn't. Can't blame folks for believing them.

The dock is the SCD for better graphics. The patent wasnt for nothing yall

So it wont have backwards compatibility and it will be under powered.

Correct.
You plug the handheld into the base and use the controllers. It's a different twist on my version, which was to have an HDMI signal sender that uses the WiiU streaming tech and Bluetooth to allow WiiU pro controller and Wii remote use.
I expected WiiU BC though.
Only if the controllers on the side are GC controllers.

Haha called it. And people like Interceptor among others were so sure that it wasn't. Shows u how little the hardcore Nintendo people on gaf know.

If it's going to be competing with phones, it has already lost. Everyone already has a phone and they take their phone with them.
But Ubisoft said it'll bring back the casual audience >.<
I like the idea and extremely intrigued to see how the device actually looks like. This approach could also mean less development time and lower costs.
This gen proved to me that better graphics aren't as much of a selling point as it used to be since nothing feels like that big of a leap forward these days.

and I'm more of a Nintendo console gamer as opposed to a handheld gamer but the biggest things I wanted for their next hardware were cartridges and a unified library
so I'm hyped
the unified library thing is huge. imagine if there was a single console that got all of the Wii U and 3DS releases these past few years. that thing would have had a fucking beast of a library. and it'll be even better because there won't be overlap like with Mario Kart 7/8, NSMB2/NSMBU, Smash 3DS/Wii U, etc.

For me this a console RPG resurrector, can't wait!
I don't get the excitement...
I think home and handheld should stay separated.
It's more like "we bet all on the handheld videogames but giving you the possibility to play also on your tv"
And als games when are made for handheld and for home console are created in different ways to be more confortable to be played... so will be NX games created with in mind the handheld situation or the home one?
And that's why now I'm even more curious to see what we will get...

"Last year we also started a project to integrate the architecture for our future platforms. What we mean by integrating platforms is not integrating handhelds devices and home consoles to make only one machine. What we are aiming at is to integrate the architecture to form a common basis for software development so that we can make software assets more transferrable, and operating systems and their build-in applications more portable, regardless of form factor or performance of each platform. They will also work to avoid software lineup shortages or software development delays which tend to happen just after the launch of new hardware."
That was Iwata in 2013 and started the hybrid speculation. They never shot down hybrid rumors. Or any rumors for that matter. There were never any hybrid rumours, just speculation based on the Iwata comment.

Why are so many people disapointed about its power? YOU HAVE A PS4, XBOX ONE or PC to choose from if you want power. This is a 2nd console, not a primary one. You buy this and another one.
Nintendo's art style and game type have never required horsepower to fulfill their goals.

I don't know. It had been rumored for a while but in didn't want to believe we would get an underpowered hybrid.
So far, it's a 2018 purchase for me

Hmm... as a home console it's limited by a mobile chip, and as a handheld it's limited by cartridges. But I suppose the latter isn't a big deal if you don't mind Nintendo's digital DRM and having to buy an $80 SD card or two. I'll reserve my hype until I see what games they're bringing
The power level thing is bad enough, but if this is actually gonna be a console/handheld hybrid, then that means Nintendo will be designing all their games with handheld sensibilities in mind. Which is terrible for people like me who don't do handheld gaming. :/
I don't think that will happen. The Nintendo stream technology for the WiFi U only reaches 480p
