I really wanna know how many people preordered the Switch just to turn around and sell it. I know back when it was impossible to find a PS3/Wii over half the people buying them were just reselling them.
I am one of the few people who likes mobile games. I personally don't see what people have against micro transactions when they are done right. Hopefully Nintendo does it the correct way.
I find it funny that people are fine paying $5 a month to play games online a few nights a week or are willing to pay $15 a month to play WoW but find it unfathomable to pay few dollars a month to support a free game with constantly updated content.
If you spend obscene amounts of money you should probably work on your impulse control or seek mental health help. Honestly that is a serious problem if you can't control it.
I was worried at first that the Switch was trying to be a hybrid but honestly it seems like It's a home console you can take with you. I know lots of people are hating on the 3DS but for someone who games on a budget I love it.

No sadly all Pokémon that transfer get only Hidden Abilities and you can't use an Ability capsule on it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was done to not allow this. Also no glitched Mew.
The bank gives you a Mewnium Z for free then doesn't let you transfer glitched Mews from gen 1 games. I feel bad for people who didn't get last years Mews.
@NEStalgia I guess I should have referred to it as lateral thinking with withered technology. I feel like they tried using to much tech which is still relatively expensive. I didnt buy into the 3DS until the 2DS because I felt 3D was just a fad, and added too much overall price to the console. I didnt mind that the 2DS wasnt graphically capable or powerful it was cheap to buy the console and games and fun similar to DS and Wii after the craze of course. I again am the minority I understand this is my own opinion and I respect yours.
I rarely get a console at launch and I will not pick up the Switch for its launch. I was thinking about getting one in 2017 Holiday but considering it will likely still be $300, an extra Joycon controller will cost at the very least $100, and most notable games will still be $60 it's very hard for me to justify the purchase.
I know I'm in the minority here but I miss back when they still followed Gunpei Yokoi philosophy of lateral thinking. Use technology that is older, make it fun, and make it cheap. I think most of Nintendo's best selling systems followed this philosophy.

Personally I have never owned a PlayStation but my friend said he loved PS+ back in the PS3 era. Also Steam doesn't pay servers it depends on the game. Servers vary in price it just depends on the game.
Also as stated before Xbox and Playstation both offer 100s of games on there servers for there platform for $5 a month and yet Nintendo wants the same $5 a month for a handful of games to play online. Also everyone is entitled to there own opinion I am just stating the reasoning for my own.
@Wolfgabe Actually you get to keep the games from Games for Gold. Xbox subscription gets you 4 free games a month to keep forever and PlayStation gives several away every month compared to Nintendo's now 1.
People have argued for years online play should be free like PC since Xbox. The reason I feel most upset is Nintendo has only a handful of online playable games and PS and Xbox have 100s yet they expect the same price that with mediocre "free" game.
$5 a month to play Mario Kart online, I don't even wanna try Splatoon anymore. They better keep 3DS around because I ain't paying this to play Monster Hunter and Pokemon. You get one rented virtual console game a month what did people expect from a company with a reward plan like my Nintendo. Looks like Switch will be an offline console for me.

It's on my wishlist. I really like what I've seen of the game. It may even be my favorite eShop game.

Re: First Impressions: Back on Track with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
No new tracks is questionable. Well hopefully this helps lower the priçe of the Wii U version considering I can atleast play that online for free.
