It's a pretty nice option to have. Only owning one Pokemon game, I don't have much use for it at the moment, but I could see myself subscribing for a month or two when I need to move Pokemon around.
My favorite is Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation (try saying that five times fast). It's about Sega's early years into the console race, the localization of Sonic, and the drama that happened behind the scenes. It's a pretty good read if you're interested in Sega's backstory.
As someone who's played through the Wii U version (couldn't find a Switch for ages), I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a switch that wants to play the game. It's very solid and supports all the Amiibo and DLC. I imagine it has more frame drops than the Switch version, but it's nothing that ruined the game for me.
Hey guys, there's a Google Chrome extension that can hide select videos on Youtube if you want to avoid spoilers easier. I think there's a link on a Nintendo themed reddit page, but a quick google can probably find it quickly.
@AlphaJaguar I don't think you'll have to worry about that. The demos that people have played during conventions other different events have been getting positive feedback.
The issue is that The Switch port doesn't use a portal. It uses the NFC reader on the controller so the figures don't have to be taken everywhere (think like the 3DS games). Though I don't know fully how the vehicles are scanned in, I know for a fact that the portal has a slot that is used for traps, and there's no way the switch controller can use the traps.
I'm glad Pokemon's moving to Disney XD. CN didn't really seem to care for the show. They only aired new episodes and movies once. The rest of the time, the show would only play once or twice early in the morning. I hope Disney XD gives Pokemon as much air time as (or even more than) Yokai Watch (another monster catching show that I like).
I find it odd how the game, regardless of which model you play the demo on, doesn't have any 3D effect. I could understand the 3DS and 2DS, but does the New 3DS have to be 2D?

Re: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey Is One Of The Worst-Selling Mario Games To Date

As pricey as it is, I imagine this will look great on collectors' shelves.
Re: More Details And Screenshots Emerge For Nickelodeon Kart Racers On Switch

Ah, that good old Stability
Re: Toys R Us Is Preparing To Liquidate Its U.S. Business, Reports Claim
Toys R Us created a lot of memories. It'll be gone, but never forgotten. Tell Blockbuster I say hi, Toys R Us.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Will Get A Retail Release (But It'll Cost You $60)
The New Funky Mode must be "quite" the addition if it's $60
Re: Awesome: Meet The Ultimate Nintendo Switch Game Collector
It amazes me how many retail Switch games we've gotten in the Switch's first year. I hope this keeps up!
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch

Re: Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Gets Wii U Update To Improve Gameplay

Re: Rocket League Collector's Edition for Switch Is Just Weeks Away from Retail Release
The amount of DLC justifies the higher price in my eyes. Can't wait to give it a look!

@legendwaker Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one!
Re: Review: LEGO Worlds (Switch)
It's a shame that it's underwhelming. Maybe I'll buy it when there's a price drop.
Re: You'll Be Able To Sacrifice Resolution For Frame Rate In Fire Emblem Warriors On Switch
@Geeks4Life Considering the resolution of the tablet is 720p, I'm imagining that it would run at 60 frames regardless.

I love colabs like this.
Re: Pokkén Tournament DX Demo Confirmed for the Switch eShop
@CapricornDavid I remember the Wii U having a demo of the original. I don't quite remember the limitations of the demo, but it'll probably be like it.
Re: Hands On: Striking a Chord with Yooka-Laylee
@AlphaJaguar I don't think you'll have to worry about that. The demos that people have played during conventions other different events have been getting positive feedback.
Re: Nintendo Switch Version Of Skylanders Imaginators Doesn't Support Traps Or Vehicles

Re: Mario Sports Superstars Heading to Europe on 10th March
Nintendo finally realized that no one was gonna shell out $40-$60 for a single sports game just because it has Mario in it.
Re: Warner Bros Resurrects Disney Infinity Studio Avalanche For Cars 3 Video Game
It's great that the staff got their jobs back.

Really tempted, but I want to make sure I have enough money for the Switch
Re: 3D-Printed Toys-To-Life Title Inchvilles Coming To Nintendo 3DS
@RealPoketendoNL It might be a false flag. When I tried it, the site was empty and said that it wouldn't have anything on it til December 2nd.

Re: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS Will Feature amiibo Support
Perhaps Nintendo's adding them after some of the backlash they received. I guess we won't know til the game launches.
Re: King Boo in Mario Kart '8' and New Splatoon Goodness - Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Reveal

Re: The Pokémon Sun and Moon Demo Limits Online Functions on Old 3DS Models
I'm so happy I have the New 3DS. I hope the final version plays in 3D.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Pokémon Sun and Moon: Special Demo Version?
@LegendOfPokemon Same here. It's a shame that us New 3DS owners have to suffer too.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Pokémon Sun and Moon: Special Demo Version?
I find it odd how the game, regardless of which model you play the demo on, doesn't have any 3D effect. I could understand the 3DS and 2DS, but does the New 3DS have to be 2D?
