My first impression is that it looks too complicated for casuals. Like, there are too many pieces sliding around and what happens if you lose one?
Dont get me wrong: I think it looks sweet because Im personally not fazed by a modular concept and I take good care of my stuff. But such a fiddly device seems a bit out of character for Nintendo and I wonder how the concept will play in the general public.

NEW MARIO FOOTAGE LOOKS AMAZING
The whole concept of the device looks absolutely fantastic.
They need to put Smash 4 on every device.

Nintendo seems to be pushing local multiplayer. They hardly had an online presence, but I guess this is so long for good 😥😥

I fully hate the lack of Dpad. I guess no fighting games or 2d platformers while in portable mode then.
I just really wonder how much play the whole "two controllers in portable mode!!!" will get. Especailly when the 2player modes in those cases will either only be on games that are simple or be dumbed down versions of the normal multiplayer.

Looks like EA is back:
Terrible, terrible name.
The actual concept looks pretty well-thought-out, here's hoping the actual experience is as seamless as they're promising.
From an ergonomics standpoint, it may be that in trying to hit all the use-cases, they'll end up with something pretty ungainly. You have a big screen that makes it much less portable, but even at that size the breakout controllers are going to be very small.
Yeah given the current market and where companies are headed it's smart for Nintendo to consolidate. They have the potential to offer an unparalleled experience compared to the Xbox and PS4's game-streaming and interoperability given how much more they control.

No mention of any kind of docked boost - the hybrid is dead. Long live handheld with video out.
There's no King Boo in Mario Kart 8.
He missed Mario Kart....probably BC though

Look pretty good. I like the idea. If the price is reasonable and launch titles are strong I may buy one
Hopefully the controller design isn't finalized, I dislike the lack of a d-pad, and the offset of the analog controllers (I prefer the dualshock desgin).
Also of note, the benefit to being able to remove controllers from the "handheld", is you can probably rotate the screen 90 degrees to play dual screen 3DS games (assuming backwards compatibility of some sort).

It's the new 3D Mario game !!!

Initial thoughts: the name is dumb as hell, but whatever people get used to them. That new Mario looked nice. I'm just not sure. I was actually fairly optimistic going into this announcement but if that is it, I'm not sure it does much to address the issues that hurt the Wii U and led to declining 3ds market share. I'm not sure the concept is something the mass market is going to be excited by.

Looks like pretty much exactly what I wanted. It's the first time in a long time that something from Nintendo has gotten me truly excited. I think this is going to be big.

Yeah, this. Surprised people are so hyped for it in this thread, but I guess it's still early.

Honestly this has potential and it's perfect for me, since I travel for work. Don't know how the market will react.
The heart implies a Mario 64 / Galaxy style rather than a 3D World style
