Busti

Well, I personally wouldn't have expected something other than Mario or Pokémon, but I would probably have appreciated something new, if I had had the opportunity to witness the event firsthand like Busti did. Although a mall exhibit is hardly the place to introduce brand new ideas, I'll grant you that.

Alistair has got the right idea. It wasn't bad, but I just couldn't be bothered to go out of my way to play Pokken or Mario. I would gladly play those games anytime in a home-setting, because I know they are fun. And I know that these games will sell well. But if I am going to wait in line while watching people play on a "brand new console", it needs to be something fresh.

Now to be fair, it was a smaller exhibit with only 15 Switch's on display. What is the plural of the Switch anyway? Earlier this year there was a much bigger one that took up the entire hall with perhaps 50 stations showing much more variety. That is way more exciting!

that might be why this one was smaller. those exhibits cost money to run, the bigger the more expensive. so if you already had a pretty big one then why risk more money by throwing another big one. I get what you're coming from, but look at it from Nintendo's eyes: Everyone knows Pikachu, Everyone knows Mario, Pikachu, and Mario sell games and merchandise better than fricking Spongebob sells merchandise, so WHY risk showing something new like Skyrim or burn Out for example?
