So after getting to play it and trying a few games out, I think it's a good console. The screen is big enough to play games but small enough to carry it around.
The controllers are a little too small, but it's a matter of getting used to them, the console comes with a joystick kind of thing that you can stick the tiny controllers in and turn it into an xbox/ps4 controller of sorts, which was very comfortable to hold.
It also has motion controls, I didn't see any game that used them as well as most wii games have, but it's there.
Handheld mode and TV mode both run smoothly. Graphics are obviously not Nintendo's selling point, but I saw variety and creativity which is good enough for me. Imagine wiiu' s graphics a bit more polished.
Seem like Nintendo is breathing new life into the Mario series, I don't care for Mario games (including the kart series) but after trying the new games out I'm pleasantly surprised.
For a 2 in 1 console, the price is okay. So, probably something I'd buy in the future.
Edit: I'm also not a zelda fan, but the demo for the new one had me impressed. Huge world, easy and smooth game play.
