    I think it looks great, my only problem is that there wasn't enough information available on the system itself. I hate teaser trailers sometimes. What do you guys think?

    Hey there!
    My friend has a Nintendo switch from the development build, he said the control sticks were a bit unconformable. I don't know else much

    For real?! You have a friend that is playing a development build of the nintendo switch?! Thats pretty dam awesome! Although i should take it wit the grain of salt though because theres always that one person thats like my dad works at nintendo lol. Anyway regardless i can see why the thumbsticks might feel awkward, i play the wii u and the gamepad's thumbsticks feel awkward as well because they are so far apart and are designed more like a ps3-ps4 joysticks were they are not concave like the xbox controllers so its hard getting used to them. i own the holy trinity as i call it so i own the 3 main gaming brands so i know how they feel. The switch motes that attach to that controller make it look like that weird wave bird designed gamecube controller but the pro controller for the switch would probably be the best bet for comfort. Although your friend could have used just the switch motes like the wii motes and if he has big hands they might not feel comfortable. It reminds me of those mini wii motes that stores sell to kids lol HAHA XD.:p

    I didnt like the nintendo switch at first but it grew on me to be honest. Im a Nintendo fan so i was disappointed at first i dont know why but ive come around :). I think they didnt show or tell that much information because they want people craving more and for people to keep talking about it so it grows in popularity. There have been videos explaining the trailer in depth such as showing the amiibo support,the game card slot, that the switch mote adapter controller has batteries in it, etc. They are trying to play the long game here and its working, my only worry is that if the battery for the switch tablet is 3hrs or less than thats going to be a big downfall(unless they release a battery expansion).

    Yeah again, about the control sticks,
    Xbox ones have remained the best. even Playstation controllers are have those round ones just like wii.

    Those round ones make your thumb sore and are relatively uncomfortable. However, the ps controllers are more compact than xbox ones.

    Yeah the xbox's concave design for the controllers is really good for your thumbs for playing for long periods of time and they dont get your thumbs sore, but the feel(the controllers themselves) can be hard for regular players or newbies to grasp playing with the 2 joysticks in those positions; its even more difficult if you are a person with small hands like me so it can be difficult at times. I guess nintendo and maybe playstation are trying to appeal to everyone that wants to play instead of a select audience. I'd say the nintendos gamecube controller or the wii u's pro controller would come to a close second in terms of comfort and control, i mean the amount of people that still play with a gamecube controller in tournaments is kind of ridiculous and im one of those people lol hah :). That may be the reason why the switch controller adapter(the one that looks like a GC wavebird controller), because people wont shut up about the GC controllers lol.

    After seeing the trailer i kept thinking about taking it with me to work to play Smash Bros and all other things during a lazy shift!

    I find it amazing thus far but would love to see some more on it :)

    HAHAH i know right it would be perfect to take to work or school(during breaks of course) especially since i play the heck out of smash 4 when i first started i started maining, Mega Man and Greninja, but i can actually play like almost 1/4 of the cast decently good. Been practicing with Meta Knight recently and i gotta say those 5 jumps with that up B is menacing lol didnt know what hit him :D!
