Yup, that's the lame-ass name they gave their new console. However, don't knock until you watch this. I'd like to see the specs and the price for this before I commit to buying one, but I have to say I am properly intrigued. Skyrim Remaster and new Zelda on the go? Yes, please.

It looks pretty sick to me.
And if they announce a proper Metroid sequel for it, I'll lose my shit.

I actually like the branding of it, and it's an intriguing idea. I'd lose it, though. I have just an iMac and a Jitterbug.

Well, not since the GameCube.

So this thing looks like a move back towards the good old days, a kind of cross between a DS and a chromecast... best of both worlds in handheld and console gaming, but back to only using your hands. I'm looking forward to it
