EA made worst launch on WiiU: Mass Effect 3, if they would have launched Mass Effect Trilogy , I would have bought it for WiiU. But price comparison with other versions made me to ignore it. After it only paid for 1 & 2 in humble bundle for PC at irrisory price. EA lost money when launching WiiU version AND devaluating all the product line trying to sell all the other versions. Only benefit were reduced development cost for next games ignoring WiiU platform and ignoring posible increase in player base if WiiU would
Ah, and EA doesn't was the only crazy company launches: NBA2K13 was years at full price at eShop (30€ more than price in other platforms) when GAME selling finally discs at 9€ and less.
So, I finally spent more money on Nintendo products at a result.

You are right.
An important point would be that you can be connected when not using your Switch, so you can see friends connected and playing, and power on your console to join as with Steam Android App but including chat.
Also you could add your phone contacts easily with no effort (great jump from have to share friend codes or nintendo network id) helping to promote Nintendo platform outside of owners.
If you could add new friends from multiplayer games, Nintendo security and privacy concerns is a plus for a gaming communication network, because android apps privacy politics are often abused by companies for their own interests.
I think it's a smart move by Nintendo. Next step from actual Microsoft, Sony and Valve.
Dissapointed, 299€ price is too high with no game included (1-2-Switch not included is to blame at that price).
I think competitive PS4 and XBO prices will hurt sales. Only Zelda:BotW at launch, available same day at WiiU (at least, if it would have be launched first in NSW it would have been unforgivable). Mario Kart, Splatoon already in my WiiU, not great exclusive until Mario Odissey.I think WiiU users should delay Switch adquisition until Mario Odissey pack with price reduction. Skyrim graphics details seems too low, I am not sure now about NSW power. Waiting for treehouse to watch games direct play.
Subcription for online, can understand, but ¿1 NES or SNES game more than 20 years old for free at month, really?

Yes, Switch has an audio jack on top.

I have more doubts about him now than yesterday.
