Likes:
-the controller is cool. I always loved GBA-GC connected games. This will bring cool ideas.
-play separate from the TV, a bonus to kids and husbands.

Dislikes:
-The only differentiation is the touch screen controller. I was expecting new online ideas like Onlive for Nintendo. I was expecting the ability to take the controller with you. All the third party games are on PS360 so they mean very little to me.
-No First Party games shown. My fears are confirmed; Nintendo has a lot of catching up to do to match the HD era. Third parties are already there, so thats what we saw.

Ho-Hum:
-Graphics. Nothing looked better than PS3. For that matter, nothing looked better than Uncharted 3 at all of E3. At least Nintendo has caught up with the competition though, graphics wise.
-No price announced, which has me weary.

Overall it's cool, but I was hoping for so much more. All I can see is a PS3 with a touch screen controller and worse online features. Of course it will have Nintendo first party games but Nintendo is 5 years behind the other developers so I'm not expecting anything revolutionary for quite some time. I need to know more!!!

Graphics with the bird look pretty bad ass

That alone would get me to buy it if Nintendo games looked liek that.

That controller alone is going to spike the price by a good deal; I'm expecting a very unappealing price tag announcement next year.

Also, the fact is, I see no reason to buy this over PS3/360, outside of playing Mario, and a Zelda game 4 years down the road. I guess I really just don't see the point in this system existing.
