It doesn't seem worth it to get on day one or maybe even this year. It's seems like a combo of the Wii U's and PS3's launch, no games and to expensive. It doesn't matter what the other companies' consoles cost at their launch, the here and now is the thing costs $299 with pretty much no launch titles vs. PS4 and Xbox that has a well established library for the same cost or less depending on which one you get. I'm not willing to pay over $300 for a Zelda machine, I could just get it for the Wii U but cheaper. The controllers are really expensive, $79 and for the separate (L) or ( R ) Joy-cons $49.
Now your paying for Online which I hate, it was the one thing I loved Nintendo for and it was the edge they had over everybody else. Plus, the games that they are giving away are only going to be old ones that we have seen and played before and nothing new. Also, the way they are wording it makes it seem like you could either loose them after a month or you could keep them. Plus, the battery life is kind of vague too.
I'm not saying it's a bad console, but the way that they are handling it is weird, they are expecting people to shuck out money like hard candy on launch but since the wii u, I don't think that's going to happen given what we've been shown (maybe if they had shown Overwatch or Smash or something hard hitting coming out in march). I'll probably get one when the price goes down, but I still won't be happy about the Subscription fee for online.
