I am unimmpressed with the new system. Let's analyse the gimmicks.
1. Playing game while someone wants to watch TV.
First of all, I have my own TV. Well, I understand that everyone doesn't. So I'll point out the other flaw. If I want to play Nintendo when I can't use Wii, I could simply, I don't know, PULL OUT MY HANDHELD DEVICE. Making a Purposely unportable system portable? I don't get.
2. Sketchpad.
I'll just, again, pull out my HANDHELD, go on Pictochat, Flipnote, or a drawn to life game/other art games. Or I can Pull out an ACTUAL SKETCHPAD.
So far, I'm not impressed. Only thing that might make me buy it right away is SSB.
