    We do have Toys R Us, HMV, Fortress. For best prices and variety then Golden Centre in Sham Shui Po, or 188 Wan Chai Road for all your video gaming needs! Kicks the crap out of Best Buy or Gamespot any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

    Switch, Zelda, bombaman. But, probably not the 3rd... I'm fine with a few days even a week. He said price was not decided yet, but I don't care. It's cheaper than an iPad, so why complain about it

    Untrue actually, Nintendo's consoles always have tended to be underpowered on purpose when compared to their competitors. This goes back to the NES even which had more powerful consoles available at the time. To call it "crap" is also untrue as easily some of the very best games on just the past decade were Nintendo games or published on Nintendo consoles!

    Because of the gaming content of course. I am very interested, especially if they would couple it with a great Virtual Console service. The unit itself doesn't look that big as well, and quite portable.

    I only play one game, FIFA and bought my PS4 (and PS3 before that) for the sole purpose of playing FIFA. If this Switch does not have FIFA then I would not be interested.

    I don't think the general non-gaming public will go head over heels for this console but there certainly is merit for the idea, especially if backed up by killer software for which the new Zelda already looks like an amazing game.

    Currently the portable market both 3DS and PS Vita are on its last legs, Sony has also given up to compete with Nintendo on this market. This means that already Nintendo will have the portable market to itself, + a part of the regular console market. The removable and interchangeable controllers also opens the console up for gaming modes impossible on more traditional consoles. I'm in.
