Kind of laughable that I got myself a switch after what I said above, but a friend of mine happened to see one for sale at Meijer (not sure if they have Meijer's all over the states but it's basically like WalMart) and asked me if I wanted her to pick it up for me. Since they're so rare I couldn't really pass it up.
I had a Wii U for a very short time but ended up trading it for a xbone after it had sufficiently angered me enough to throw it out of a window. (The stupid blue light on it kept waking me up). I'm not interested in Wii U ports like Mario Kart, especially with the dumb online paywall coming up.
Also making me angry is that classic games are only going to be available to subscribers. Whatever, I'll hack the thing when I want retro games bad enough. The hardware is solid; love the concept of it. Software wise it blows. The OS is a joke. It has no browser, no netflix, youtube. Why on earth anyone would want to pay for online features when there are barely any to begin with baffles me. It looks like they started writing the OS and then quit about 25% of the way in. As for themes you can choose from nothing but black, and nothing but white.
As far as games go, you can play some horrible flash style games such as snipper clips, a full priced version of a $10 game (Bomberman), various ports that have been out on other systems for ages, including a @#$% $30 version of Minecraft, which I would probably consider if I didn't already own it for every other device on earth capable of playing games of any sort.
Now again, I love the concept. That's why I have one. I should hopefully have Zelda soon (yes, I've only had access to demo's for the last few days, since I'm broke nugga), and obviously Metroid 4. Not impressed with Mario so far. But so long as these games are good and I have the option to play the exact same version at home or on the go - graphically not on par with the others or not - it's going to rock. It's something I've always wanted in a console. The shame is that it might not be REALLY good until it's fully hacked.
Oh and also, Nintendo fans are by and large the most annoying fanboys on earth in my opinion.
