I kept hearing "horror stories" about the SD reader kept failing in the original switch. Seems to be the same mechanism in this one. I don't want to take that chance.
@StarCollector Because the water effects slow it down. I made a mountain of water and had my town in it. Water coming down both sides. It slowed frame-rate down to like 10! Looked great anyway. This way, it probably offers a stable experience.
Look at all the crazy cities that some people made early on. Outside Japanese market in particular
@Dman10 It's complicated. I want Internet here, fiber optic is available. But we are living in a place that isn't mine. Technically it is. But it's part of an estate. So when it sells, we have to leave. And the install fee and early disconnect fee and yearly fee that the Fiber Optic requires, is very off-putting if we were to get it.
One will be for First Party only, the other for 3rd party games.
Dual SD slots could have fixed this! A better base storage could have fixed this. Better physical sales could have fixed this. No key cards could have fixed this.

Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides
All the stock markets are rigged!
You are a fool if think the big money makers are not doing insider trading.
But if the common people do it, they shut it down and arrest you.
Look at the gamestock fiasco from about 5 years ago.
"They" don't want you to get ahead!

Lower capacity cards are dumb! More R&D costs and the price on them won't drop.

Except some racing games, I can't stand sports games!

Thanks.
I haven't gotten that far yet.
