The problem with the Wii U was that it's cool unique feature was locked to one person. Everyone else just had a lesser experience or an experience that the Wii had already given. For a family/local-multiplayer stand-point, that kind of sucked balls. The one thing every non-gamer I knew thought the Wii U could do was to be played purely on the controller, as in, take on a car journey and the kids can play it. Like, that's what it looked like it should be able to do.
The Switch actually does that. And unlike the ugly-ass Wii U controller looks damn nice and slick.
Honestly, the Switch looks pretty freakin' sweet. Like Everything about it looks good. It also looks like THE perfect system for Monster Hunter (and as the main reason for me not having time to be here - about 300 hours into Generations - I'm rather interested) - so as soon as that is announced for the Switch (which might, maybe, happen on Thursday...) they have my money.
Now for this to be perfect it would also be nice if it functioned well as a tablet. As in, let me use Facebook chat while I'm playing a game online without suspending play or disconnecting me. I mean, a lot of games will just not have voice chat. It's just how it is with Nintendo. If I can do a Facebook call to the friends I am playing online with on the same device I am playing the game on, that would be awesome. (Obviously a Voice Chat on the system itself like, you know, every other console does, would be nice Nintendo... just saying). If I can check my regular websites while waiting in a lobby or something - that would be awesome. Everything I've seen so far, looks great, but if it can also seamlessly nail the functions of a tablet/smartphone at the same time then it'll be flawless.
