The problem with Indie titles is that they aren't system sellers, if someone is getting the system already then it's great but unfortunately the mass public isn't going to buy a Switch for indie games.

Overcooked, a new Master Blaster, and Hollow Knight? Hell yes! All of those games would be amazing on the system.
I have to say, I think Nintendo is doing a good job going after the developers that the Switch can appeal to. It seemed like they tried to get the AAA western develoeprs to play ball early-on with the Wii U and all they got was warmed over crap from them. With the Switch it seems Nintendo is targeting developers that can give the type of game experiences that Nintendo traditionally offers and if AAA western developers want to also port some old game that is fine too.
This is what Nintendo needed to do and they are doing it. Next stop hopefully is an E3 with the announcement of huge 1st and 2nd party games (ie Metroid and Pokemon) along with VC.

Reading these reviews has me really reconsidering keeping my preorder at this point.
And umm the Switch even drains battery while you play docked. That's retarded. In fact the Kotaku Review they said it drains down to 88% while docked.
I even had this problem playing from the Joy-Con Grip a mere 10 feet away from the Switch console, forcing me to scooch up further on my bed in order to maintain a reliable connection.
From IGN article...
So basically it's not even usable in my current setup. How fucking stupid is that shit - 10 feet. Wow. And I don't think I can even find a pro controller at this point, nor do I know if I want to waste $70 on one.
It's important to be mindful that there are some reports of the Joy-Con de-syncing when the system is docked, but I have never had this happen, even once, in my over 60 hours of testing. We've reached out to Nintendo for comment and although the company said it's "looking into it," we'll update you if we hear more
That's exactly right, all of us buying it are beta testers. The real launch isn't until the holiday season. If not for Zelda, most of us wouldn't be buying it. I'm super excited for Zelda.Even though a lot of reviewers had that problem, some had no problems with the Joycons:

If it is a hardware issue that all Switches have (and it can't be fixed with a day-one firmware update or something) this is the biggest issue I can ever remember for a new console. The real question is if it is a universal issue or just a bad batch of controllers given to reviewers (wouldn't put it past Nintendo). Unfortunately we won't know until a lot of people have them.
The Switch is basically the world's first early access console.
What?Amazon says they expect to ship Wii U Zelda today, due Friday. So much for release day delievery.
