As a Nintendo fan, I'm excited to see what the NX will have to offer. From what I've read in the past, Nintendo is looking for some way to integrate smartphones, computers, the Wii U, the 3DS, and its new NX in the upcoming gen. They've always been so exclusive in their systems, so I'm interested to see if what I've heard is true.

They did open up registration for their new account system (My Nintendo) which also registers you for their Miitomo app. Not sure how much I care about Miitomo, though I'll probably at least give it a try. I do look forward to their new account system, because I figure it can't do anything but improve the status quo. I love Nintendo, but their account system is like a map to a treasure chest that's been chopped up by a bunch of howler monkeys wielding steak knives. It all leads to a central point, but somehow all connecting roads have been separated from each other and you're missing a key piece to put them all back together.

Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

It took me two times watching the trailer to register it showed Skyrim. The first time I thought it was a Monster Hunter game. That's interesting, but if they showed it off in the trailer, they had better already have a contract signed to have Skyrim (probably the remaster) on the Switch.

Not that that'll get me to get it. If I get a Switch it won't be for Skyrim - PC all the way for that.

They had me at "portable" and "no region lock".

I will probably not buy it at launch, though. I always wait a lot to get consoles.

They haven't really announced any games for the system aside from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. However there has been confirmation that Nintendo and Bethesda are working together, whether it's for a port of Skyrim or an entirely new IP has yet to be confirmed. Nintendo is also working with a several other major publishers.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

Right? XD The no region lock is especially great--I hate having to buy a whole other system just to play the Japanese version of something.

The switch is... interesting. At least its a step in a direction that isn't "completely neutered PC" like consoles have been moving towards for a long time now.
I feel the way you would
