That guy is clearly an idiot, but he's also an adult. If he wants to spend thousands on a mobile game, he should be able. It isn't hurting anyone (except his wallet).
Besides, if it's gambling, it's gambling that gives you better chances to roll better characters the longer you don't, and gambling with tokens you can get for free.
To offer a conflicting view, Nitendo has every right to control its secrets and when it when it will not announce information.
For instance, this data is likely outdated. Nintendo wouldn't want old specs to leak.
But in the old fanboy-ism camp, most of us are clicking refresh on Reddit in between Cheetos. We want leaks and we want it last month. As long as there's a want, knuckleheads will leak info.
I'm looking forward to what HD Rumble has to offer. Imagine developers of a detective/puzzle game (Ace Attorney or Professor Layton maybe?) using it to investigate a crime scene or reach underneath objects to find things. Imagine an action game where you could feel the impact of your weapon. I would actually really love that last feature for a Monster Hunter game! The possibilities are endless.
Good old Nintendo... innovating in a feature no one thought to.
Save $50-$120 more to buy whatever you want. For kids, that may seem like a bunch, but it just means they won't get it at launch. For adults, you looser can wait another month or so, assuming you have a job. In which case you probably shouldn't be spending money on video games anyway.

Re: Guide: How To Use A GameCube Controller With Your Nintendo Switch
@Bengals76 IDK, the Joy-Cons are about as close to perfect.
Re: EA is Focused on Nintendo Switch Portability and "Exploring Other Products"
@Nintendoforlife
Follow the money. The momentum may stall out, and I doubt EA was developing when the dev kits were sold last year.
Ninten-woes. If it sells, they will come.
Re: EA is Focused on Nintendo Switch Portability and "Exploring Other Products"
I wonder how FIFA will sell and if it'll be an indicator of the future of 3rd party on the Switch.
I sure hope so. Console games on the go is too great to pass up.
Re: Switch Stock Shortages Cost Nintendo First Place In May's NPD Hardware Charts
Let's hope Nintendo gets some more parts for Switches. With Splatoon 2 around the corner, they can't afford not to.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo Went Its Own Way at E3 2017, and It Mostly Worked
Ah yes, two Metroid games and it's just a minimal E3.
Never change, guys.
Re: Splatoon 2 Gets A Resolution Boost Over The Previous Global Testfire Build
Splatoon 2 is one of those titles I see and know to preorder so I can be on it day one. Fantastic choice for the Switch.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario/Rabbids Crossover Still in Works for Nintendo Switch
Someone check under a bridge, because this woman's been trolled.
Mario with laser guns? Come on.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Discusses NES Mini Demand and Apologises to Those That Missed Out
Wow, you all are pissed, huh?
Too bad the VC is a thing (eventually) for the Switch.
Re: Four New ARMS Fighters Were 'Leaked' in Yesterday's Nintendo Direct
White head/purple eye looks cool. I could really get behind the heavy characers, as their curse of slow attacks are balanced by super armor.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For 12th April - Focused on Splatoon 2, ARMS and More
A Pikmin 3DS date woule be nice. Also some sort of amiibo for the Pikmin/Olimar
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For 12th April - Focused on Splatoon 2, ARMS and More
Sounds good. A smaller direct for stuff that comes out before E3 or that they just don't want to show at the big event come June.
Hoping for some new ARMS characters.
Re: Poll: A Month of Nintendo Switch - Do You Think It's Heading for Success?
Really enjoying mine! Still tossing around the idea of MK8D, but Splatoon 2 is a must buy.
Also, @Syrek24, are you who I think you are? I used to go by "Mask of Gears".
Re: Video: Splatoon 2 Trailers Show Off Weapons for Global Testfire Event
Splat Charger looking real nice with that mobile shot... looking forward the most to trying that one.
Re: Game Freak is Recruiting For New Console Game
Well, we all knew it would come eventually.

Guys, don't feed the Irish.
Re: Nintendo Has Reportedly Sold 1.5 Million Switch Consoles Worldwide
Looks great! Mind the economy on each launch please.
Re: Nintendo Switch Was the Company's Biggest Selling European Hardware Launch, Ever
@JohnG
Asking the real questions, lol
Re: GameStop Describes Nintendo Switch Launch as "One of the Strongest" in Recent Years
Ended up getting a Switch offline (had to pay $320) just because I was worried it'd be such a hot item I wouldn't see it in store until April.
Re: Pocket Rumble Throws Down This March on Nintendo Switch as a Console Exclusive
Looks pretty interesting! Big fan of fighting games in general, so I may give it a play.
Re: Runner3 to 'Launch Exclusively' on Nintendo Switch
Commander Video strikes again. Can't wait for this one.
Re: Overcooked! Special Edition Announced for Nintendo Switch
Cooking co-op game?
Day one.
Re: Shakedown Hawaii to Make Its Debut on Nintendo Switch in April
Looks like a ton of fun. I especially love the cover art... the overkill is strong!
Re: Poll: Nintendo Switch Countdown - Less Than a Week to Go, Is the Hype Building?
My body and soul is ready!
...if I can manage to find one at launch day.
Re: Bethesda's Todd Howard "Can't Say" If Skyrim on Switch is the Special Edition
Considering they didn't even confirm the game was on the Switch when it was clearly shown in the reveal trailer speaks for itself.
Re: It's Time to Claim Your Nintendo Account User ID for Nintendo Switch
Got "Ersatz_".
Techy. Crazy. Cheesy. I like it.
Re: It's Time to Claim Your Nintendo Account User ID for Nintendo Switch
Hold up... I did this weeks ago. My user ID is "ReallyErsatz".
Why are we saying this just went up?
Re: It's Time to Claim Your Nintendo Account User ID for Nintendo Switch
Darn, Ersatz is taken. I'll have to try something else...
Re: Dragon Quest Heroes I | II Download on Nintendo Switch Will Definitely Need a Micro SD Card
The constant negativity towards news such as this concerns me.
Just adapt people. No need to claim drastic things.
Chill.
Re: Nintendo Switch Teardown Images Pop Up Online
Very nice. The insides look cool... but what they do matters.
Console level gaming... on the go. Easy to port to. All Nintendo, console and portable, supporting it.
Re: Video: Nintendo Switch User Interface Shown Off In Leaked Footage
I hope there's a Handafuda theme!

Re: Nintendo Confirms Expansion Pass DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Everyone with the knee jerk reaction, lol.
Like Nintendo hasn't done DLC in the past.

Re: Splatoon 2 Global Testfire To Take Place During Nintendo Switch Launch Month
Awesome! Sounds like a great way to gain even more players.

If it isn't your thing, it just isn't your thing. I mean, don't put yourself in distress for my sake! XD
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Outlines His Nintendo Targets, Laying the Groundwork for a Successor
@ThanosReXXX
You'd think so, but the kids find a way out of it. It's like a wittier version of Jane Eyre.
There's actually a Netflix series now that is much better than the film.
Re: Google Trends Data Demonstrates Interest in Nintendo Switch
All we can take from this is people know what the Switch is.
Which is good!
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Outlines His Nintendo Targets, Laying the Groundwork for a Successor
@AlexSora89
More or less.

Re: Steel Empire Gets Permanent Price Drop In North America
Looks like a pretty good shoot-em-up.
If I wasn't saving for the Switch, I'd be tempted.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Outlines His Nintendo Targets, Laying the Groundwork for a Successor
I'm not convinced the Switch will sell as well as the Wii, but I like that the president is framing massive success as a reachable goal.
Because that's what a leader does. Lead.
Re: Nintendo Switch Appearance Earns Positive Impressions Among Super Bowl Commercials
Whoever decided to match the action to the music aught to be rewarded. It even caught the eye of my all business father who never watches commercials!
Re: Parent Trap: Nintendo Switch Parental Controls Beat Console Rivals To The Punch
As someone who's always trying to schedule his time out, I may use this on myself.
Re: Feature: Reflecting on Time Spent With the Nintendo Switch
I can't wait, but I will.
This 2D birdman isn't getting one at launch, even if he tried.

I really can't see the problem here.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Outlines the Challenges in Developing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Looks like changes were made for the better, although they lost some functions.
I like the line that mentions the changes were for the better. The delays for the Switch gave them extra time to work on the entire product.
Re: Rumour: Target Will Sell Nintendo Switch For $299.99, 15 Titles Possible At Launch
Probably a standard unit and a BTW bundle.
Nintendo shouldn't and possibly won't sell it for $300.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse to Provide 'In-Depth Look' at Nintendo Switch Games on 13th January
These titles will probably be launch titles too.
All aboard.
