I'm going to play Metroid prime 4 on my switch one and proceed to wait to get one used because poor... and I have lost almost all faith in Nintendo...

Doesn't officially release here until July 10th but stores are adding "[i]*pre-orders will be shipped by December 31st[/i]" so... yeah... supply line not looking good.[spoiler]To be honest, it's a bit pricey for my blood. Wasn't planning to get one any time soon. Have a few friends who are bummed though.[/spoiler]

I don't know, I don't have money

The biggest surprise to me is that it's possible to get them, even a few days after launch. They must have really put units in stores or it's not as popular as they thought. Hell, I had a hard time finding a store with an Xbox X two months ago.

No

I refuse to even consider paying that much money for something I don’t even actually own.

The good: -The new Joycons are very nice. They snap in and out of the Switch so easily, and it is so nice. They're also a bit bigger, which is also a plus. I really love the new Joycon covers, too--those bits that go on the end. -That new stand, brilliant. It's a lot more stable than the old Switch stand, and works on a lot more versatile of environments. No longer do I need to make sure to position it just right on uneven terrain, it just works! -The menu might seem almost exactly the same, and it is, but there are a lot of small tweaks that I really enjoy. It's just a lot of small stuff. -It has almost 100% backwards compatibility, which is important to me. Every single one of my Switch games was downloaded no problem. Very nice. And, on a related note, not only are games backwards compatible, but controllers, too! So, if you do prefer the old Joycons, they're still usable, and same goes for any pro controllers you might have! -The transfer was quick and easy. Obviously downloading games will take a hot minute, but otherwise, I had no troubles. -Mouse mode is neat. I doubt it, but I hope it's compatible with TWEWY. Would be neat to try. Atm, it seems like just a gimmick, since I don't have any games that work with it, but that might change eventually. I doubt I'll use it extensively, but I like that it's there. The bad: -Needing a new SD card was a bummer. I get newer, bigger, faster games need newer, bigger, faster hardware, but I feel a compromise would've been great. Like what Xbox did. You still need a new external hard drive for Series X games, but you can use an old hard drive for Xbox One games. -As you said, the launch lineup was a little lacking. Admittedly, this was mostly just a bummer because of a misconception on my part. I would've been okay with Mario Kart and Forgotten Land DLC, but apparently the Forgotten Land DLC doesn't release until August. -I heard the battery life is shorter, which makes sense. I haven't had enough experience to know how bit a deal this is, but my Switch has run out of battery at work before, so this will probably suck a little. Mario Kart, the good: -I love the new outfits. I've only seen Rosalina's, but they're all very nice. It'll add some good variety when playing online. -Going around the open world is surprisingly relaxing. I was expecting to really dislike free roam, and while it's not as fun as racing, it's more enjoyable than I thought. -The tracks themselves are very nice, both the new and the old. They look great, and they're fun to race on. I like the new rail grinding thing, though admittedly I haven't done a lot of wall riding. -I like that you just choose your bike/kart now, and get going. No more of that choose individual parts nonsense. -The elimination mode is fun. It's a bit one-sided, where once you get a lead it's harder to lose it than regular races, but still, I like it. -Might be my favorite Rainbow Road. Mario Kart, the bad: -I'm not sure how I feel about the new Grand Prix format. I feel like I'm not as familiar with the tracks as I am in older Mario Karts. Still, it's a lot more noticeable when you get onto a track than I was initially thinking, which is nice. -The game feel is a little... Off. I feel like drifting has a much large effect than in MK8DX, and I don't feel like I have as much control over my bike while I'm drifting. Braking, in particular, kinda feels like it has no effect. To some extent, this may be due to stat differences. Obviously I don't have my exact same bike from 8DX. -Getting 3 Stars in the elimination mode is a little harsh. You need to get first on [i]every[/i] gate it looks like. Since this thing is like one big long race, it's basically asking you to play perfectly for the whole race, which is a bit much. Possible, but very annoying. -No 200cc as far as I can tell (though it could just be unlockable). I don't see myself playing this more than 8DX unless that gets added. 200cc is the main mode I play. -While I love the outfits themselves, I don't like how unevenly spread they are. Peach and Mario have about 10 each, Rosalina and Baby Rosalina only have 5, and Pauline only has 2. I understand the enemy characters, like Goombas and Chargin' Chucks, not getting any outfits, but I wish the characters who did get outfits had a more even spread. I would've preferred they choose a set amount of themes, and then design an outfit for each character fitting that theme. So, you could have: Standard, Casual, Pro Racer, Snow Gear, Beach Outfit, Aero, etc. -They still don't let you use Auto-Accelerate in Time Trials, which is ridiculous. Auto-Accelerate doesn't even give you an edge, it just makes it so you don't have to hold down a button. This was a thing in 8DX, too, so it's not a new complaint, but it was something I was hoping they'd change. Mario Kart, the iffy: -The way you unlock outfits is also a little bit of a bummer as well. As far as I can tell, what outfit you get is just random. From the Direct, I was going to be under the impression it was determined by zone. So, like, you'd get the snow gear if you picked up food in a snowy zone, for instance. But on the flip side, it did make it easy to hop into free roam, unlock all of Rosalina's outfits, then hop back into Grand Prix. So, I guess I can't complain too much? Overall, though, I like it. Good console. Can't wait for Kirby Air Riders.

Yeah I’ll be real I don’t really care about it, I saw Mario kart in a target and that -blam!- was almost 100 dollars for some reason

I'm still playing with GBA and NDS emulator, I'm fine with old Castlevania and Pokemon games

The exclusives don't matter to me so much, so depending on budget I'd probably still consider a steam deck to replace ye olde PSP.
