The Zelda I played at E3 was on the Wii U, and although it was tons of fun and looked great, it ran terribly. The framerate was extremely inconsistent. I have faith they have optimized it since, but if it really is dramatically better on Switch, I might have no choice but to buy the console. As much as I wish I could just play it on my Wii U and wait until later this fall to buy a Switch, this game could honestly be one of the best ever and I don't want my first experience playing through it to be the "crappier version". We'll see.

Otherwise the new Mario and Xenoblade 2 look incredibly good, so I'll be buying the Switch eventually without a doubt. Square Enix's 2D-looking 3D old-school-ish RPG with no real name yet looks really cool too. I am interested in the new Shin Megami but I think I'll see it on PS4 and or PC as well, but that one is something to keep an eye on for sure.

The biggest downer though is the price in Canada. I just moved back here after living in Los Angeles for a while, and I am slowly realizing again how terrible our dollar is. With tax this console will be $450, that is really high! I might import one from Japan instead where the price conversion would come out to around $350 CAD, depending on shipping prices.
