Yep. Plus Switch is coming out in March, when people have saved up from spending at Christmas. If reports can be believed, it'll only cost around $250-300.

I'm trying not to let myself be too excited about this. I'm staying cautious. I need to see how they are going to achieve back ports what the online component will be. Can they finally achieve parity with PSN and Xbox Live?

If they kept building them at full tilt and had the same number built by the later launch then sure, that would be fine by me since I don't think I'll get one at launch. Maybe year end.
I don't know if it would help them, though. Shortages might drive interest, or at least free press from news coverage and ridiculous eBay prices

That launch lineup is what they have in the first 6-12 months if you believe all of the rumors. Mario and Splatoon (Game of the Year edition not full sequel) for launch in March. Zelda in May/June. Mario Kart, and Mario Maker ports in the summer.
Then I assume they will have something new to announce at the January event or E3 for the big Fall release.

Dark Souls is finished (as is Bloodborne), but there are rumors that FromSoft will release the Dark Souls trilogy on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC--all DLCs, HD treatment for Dark Souls 1, the works. http://www.shacknews.com/article/98065/rumor-fromsoftware-might-bring-the-dark-souls-trilogy-to-nintendo-switch

I'm re-playing Skyrim on the PS4 (the HD remastered version) and it really hasn't held up very well. I probably won't bother finishing it.
-
I actually think they shouldn't have that many must haves at launch. 3 tops. Otherwise you end up with the titles competing so heavily with themselves. And, there probably won't be as much heavy spending with a March launch as a holiday launch. I kinda don't think we'd see more than 2 key Nintendo IP titles at launch. Haven't had the coffee to back and look to see what Nintendo's launch trend has been in the past.

They might never be cheap since production already stopped and there's hardly any out there for resale.

You're correct in terms of third-party support, but Wii U arguably has the best first-party library going.

Yeah, unfortunately.
-
-
It the only place aside from my PC where the games are 60fps and look gorgeous. Like others here said, it also has some of their best games in generations and the best first party of this generation.
Third party support was weak but you presumably have a PC or other console anyway.

So far Nintendo seem to be making all the right moves.

Thanks. I have been more involved in seeking out stories that I think we would care about here. Of course we are still doing our guide content and videos as well as features.

Is this a live presentation? Otherwise why not just post this towards the end of the week?
-
Does this mean we'll get a launch lineup, and that companies can finally announce their titles?

Do it for Shacknews!

And now I'm imaging it like a Daily Show skit:
"Now we turn to Shacknews' Senior Ugly American Correspondent, Raptor, who is live in the field at Nintendo in Tokyo. Good to have you Raptor."
"Thanks for having me Asif. I'm speaking with Nintendo President Tas-too-mi Kim-ash-ma who you just saw on the stream talking about the direction Nintendo is heading with the Switch.
Mr. Kim-chi-ma, first off thank you for taking the time to talk with me.
Now, Shacknews is dying to know, will Half-Life 3 be a Switch exclusive and how will the portability of the Switch impact the future of the Duke Nukem franchise?"
"Okay just one more question before security has us arrested: Satoru Iwata. Great president, or greatest president?"
"Pleeeeaseee underrstaaaaannd..."
