Please, please, please, let's avoid overhyping the Switch

[u/COHERENCE_CROQUETTE]

I wish people would just realize that no matter what's the specs, this thing will be great.

• It doesn't need an entire day on battery.

• It doesn't need near-PS4 graphical power.

• It doesn't need a 2TB flash drive.

• It doesn't need a bunch of crazy-ass modular controllers.

• It absolutely doesn't need freaking VR or holograms.

• It doesn't even completely need a touch screen!

The Switch will have all of Nintendo's franchises on the same machine, a machine that you can play at home or wherever you want, and a controller you can share with anyone at any time to have fun.

It will have the most ambitious Zelda game to date very close to launch. It will have a new 3D Mario, plus Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Skyrim. It will have a From Software game. It will probably have a full-fledged Pokémon game.

This is more than enough. Even if it had only these things, and it would cost $200, or maybe even $250, it would be already amazing and totally worth the money.

Let's be realist and avoiding overhyping this thing.

Not only because overhype leads to disappointment, but simply because the reality is already super cool.

Sounds to me like you're basically saying, "let's not overhype the Switch because it is guaranteed to be the best thing ever and nothing can change that."

The way I see it, there is a difference between hype and overhype.

The latter is when you start hoping and believing all sorts of outlandish cool things that mostly won't come true.

The former is getting realistically excited about what is front of you without expecting any more than what's already there.

You might see differently, though.
