Might be disappointing for some but I suspect for most it won't make any difference with so many devices now, apparently the browser on the Wii U took up half the system memory to implement while still being pretty poor. The fear of exploit as well would be a factor, but it could easily be put on with an update in the future of course. May be added of course later. Kimishima also hinted that they studied usage statistics on it and figured it didn't have that big of a take up on the Wii U. He also stated that support for other controllers may be included in a future update. He also hinted that information about the eShop may be forthcoming soon i.e. a form of direct perhaps? I think they need to clear a few things up for sure.

It's a boring back and forth at this stage. --- I've pre-ordered because I want this console to do well, I'm on the go a lot which helps increase my gaming time, new Zelda (short sighted reason perhaps but still... It's Zelda), it genuinely looks like a solid piece of kit and because I am excited about this console. I've got my concerns like most and the questions I have are not as yet answered but my excitement is over ruling my concerns right now. Could be blind optimism on my part but I want to believe that this console can truly succeed and be great. The internet is a funny place at times. You can always find a post/article that backs up your opinion on nearly every topic. There's probably a hundred reasons why I shouldn't have pre-ordered and paid off my Switch but there's equally 100 reasons why I'm probably justified in doing so.

Wonder will that share button be able to record video down the line and not just take screenshots. Also, no mention of the touchscreen - afraid they'll confuse the audience or the audience will start comparing it to a tablet?

Creamy Goodness wrote: » Good video, confirms that a battery pack can charge it that was a little unclear from the earlier presentations. Hardly late, the main audience for that video is the people who'll pick one up post-day-one launch. Nintendo mentioned in the Switch's reveal presentation in January that video capture was coming in a later software update. There was no mention of touch screen as Nintendo see it as a secondary control. The menu will be accessed by analogue stick and or touch screen (I assume) but it's not too important. I see it being used more in games like it was on the 3DS.

With every passing day more and more information emerges that further cements in my mind that I won't be picking the Switch up at launch.

It would be nice for them to go and make the same kind of video about their online service, VC and this mobile app - clear details from the horse's mouth. Re: the touchscreen, I just figured it would be mentioned at some point as that might attract more folks to it.
