I would rate the game 5/10. There is almost no single player and three of the sports are extremely similar. Sword fighting is extremely bare bones with no modes, rewards or progression. If you don't have someone to play it with, there is nothing to do.
You can not even give your self a guotie or mustache in the new Mii maker and if you do not have the online, you can not earn anything to improve it. This is extremely bare bones. There is basically no single player mode at all.
I have an original day one Switch. I have had to replace the fan. It stopped spinning and the Switch would get so hot it would shut off. When I put it all back together I had an 'extra' screw. Whoops...
I have also opened up the joycon to fix them 4 times. I have stopped playing in handheld mode to avoid joycon use.
@RupeeClock That is the Super Nintendo version. I actually prefer the GameBoy version, but I will have to try the Super Nintendo patched version to see if that helps it.
@RupeeClock Thanks for the info. I will have to try it. To be honest, I have the origin cart and it is one of my favorite gameboy games even with the slow framerate.
@somebread Most other shows have the winners come up and say something. In this three hour show only a few of the winners were allowed to come on stage. Most of the awards were covered rapid fire in 30 seconds with a simple on screen list.
It just did not feel like the awards were an important part of the ad.
They could fix it by making it an awards show. Remove all the ads, musical numbers, celebrates, and even the game trailers. Maybe have two reveals, one in the middle and one at the end.
I have been really disappointed in the general build quality of the Switch and the Joycons. I have had to repair my joycon twice and replace the fan in my Switch.
I have had 3 joycons drift and my fan stopped working. My original Gameboy, Gameboy pocket, Gameboy color, DS fat, DS Light, 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS XL all still work fine.
A sealed game is worthless. It only has value to me when it is opened and played. Super Mario Bros is a great game but it is super common. I would only pay $30 at most for it if it was mint.

Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
If it is going to cost this much, they should put all the games on it to begin with. The way they are doing it now does not warent an extra fee.
