Looks like some websites are already taking preorders. I have a bunch of gift cards so I could get about 100 dollars off if I wanted to...

I wasn't paying attention during the montage at the end so I don't know if I missed anything interesting there.

The only versions they talked about were Red/Blue controllers and Black controllers.

Pretty sure they were talking about the chat and scheduling app thingy with that. Hopefully.

It's not being enacted until next Fall, however. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if a strong release made them reconsider, either.

Still, I don't necessarily mind paid online. Nintendo's online services have been questionable, a stronger budget would serve it well.

Super weapons that completely invalidate the game prior to their use?

Whelp now I can definitely see the Nintendo influence on Splatoon.

Och, they're going to start with free online play and then yank it away from people? This seems like a huge marketing fiasco waiting to happen, for all the people who don't read this stuff and find their online doesn't work one day.

There's a lot of room for more details that we don't quite have yet. For example, they might provide free online for all games released before the deadline indefinitely. We just don't know.

I wonder if the switch will have apps like netflix, and if you will have to pay to use them online? I don't know, I don't think I'd bother with multiplayer if I had to pay extra for it. I don't think many of my gaming friends will be getting the switch so paying to play games with randos on the internet has pretty much zero appeal for me. Especially if it has a voice chat lobby full of whingy kids.

The more I think about it the less I want to buy one at this point. I'd really like to play the new Zelda game but so far that's pretty much the only game I'd be interested in. My 3DS sits around collecting dust, I don't really need another Nintendo console to do the same.

My friend has been trying to get me to board the hype train for this device.  I have been a longtime avid believer of the Yahtzee Crowshaw Gamer Matrix.   I am torn.

Consider this PTW as me boarding the hype train but making sure I'm on the seat next to the emergency exit so I can quickly bail out in case of derailment.

Makeing us pay to play a game online? Really? I hope they don't mean that if I go out and buy a multiplayer game I don't have to pay more just to use it. That would just be stupid. Internet bills alone are expensive.

Do we know how much the online fee is yet?   It could just be like pokebank and be a piddly tiny amount that barely pays for chat servers. 

I mean hell, the short stint when I owned my own server pc it cost me more per month keeping it running(admittedly it was the computer equivalent of a fix-er-upper) than the pokebank cost all year.

A better question is just how many games with online components is Nintendo planning to have. Because right now, from the lineup we've seen it seems to be Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 aaaaaand maybe that boxing thing with springy arms?

Not exactly a selection I'd be willing to pay ANY money for.

Even better question: do Nintendo plan to keep up with the demand this time?

From what I've heard its going to be around $60 annually, the same as PS+ and Xbox Live Gold.  Hopefully there will also be monthly options.
