Who owns a Nintendo Switch?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I don't have a Switch but I've played with my boyfriend's one. It's awesome. O: He recently got Super Mario Odyssey and it's great fun! Breath of the Wild was epic, too. We used to take it in turns adventuring and stuff. Then we started a New Game+ and got mauled to death. xD He told me that he bought Skyrim for it with the motion controls, which I'm super excited to test out. But that won't be for a while because Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was released recently and both him and his mum are fighting over the Switch for it at the moment. ;c

That's really cool that his mum plays xD I tried to get my mum to try Mario Kart but she refused haha!

That's sad, I love Mario Kart. D: I play with Chris but he usually beats me cause he cheats (not really but I say he does xD).

I got my switch quite close to the release. The only main game that was out was Breath of the Wild. I'm a huge Zelda fan though. It is an amazing game, so frustrating though, some enemies are so powerful, you need huge long strategies for some haha. If i see an outpost i just shoot the explosives and get the weapons they drop lol. I've got a fair few games now, I've got Breath of the Wild, Arms and Mario Odyssey. In terms of gameplay, i think Zelda is definitely the best, but I'm super fixed onto Arms at the moment. I love the party mode, even if it is frustrating sometimes haha. The games are so expensive though. I think that's the only downside though, I haven't been able to fault it yet. Would be nice if it had a few more apps like a browser or YouTube maybe though.

I got my Switch on release day at midnight on Best Buy. xD I love my Switch. <3

I suspect I won't get a Switch until Pokemon is released for it. Gotta get my fix somehow, you know?

I've no immediate plans to get a switch, but it's on the to-do list. I'll get there eventually. Currently saving for a number of things and busy with an even larger number of things. One day though!

Guys. I learned today of something that is scaring me very much and also annoying me that Nintendo plans to release next year.
I haven't looked into it fully and it is very unclear as well, but from what i've read from multiple places including the official Nintendo site, soon, you will need to pay an extra premium to be able to use WiFi functionality on your switch. This is for ANY game that you will play. This basically nullifies Splatoon as the whole idea of it is WiFi based, and also to some extent, destroys the Arms and Mariokart fanbase who use WiFi as their main game mode. Really hope this isn't true or I misunderstood it but I really do not wish to pay an extra premium for these games that are, on initial buying price, already very expensive compared to other games on the market. It may not seem like a lot of money but I know for sure that some people can't afford that and taking away a feature they have been able to use beforehand when they paid for the game is wrong.
Heres what's on the official nintendo website. The bit that scares me is the quote here.
"After the free-trial period, most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo in order to play online. Currently the free-trial, the paid service, and online play (for applicable modes in compatible games) will be available for customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Yes you'll have to pay for online at some point in 2018.

Yeah it really sucks but Playstation and Xbox already make you do this and their online communities are fine. :( So I don't think it will destroy communities but it does really suck especially since Pokemon games will be on switch from now on. Paying just to trade and stuff is extremely lame. =/

I had heard about it too a few months ago. Games that use wifi features just become unplayable (like Splatoon) unless you have the premium. Pokken would still work, though just can't play online without it. Yeah it sucks, but what can you do. Hopefully it means a more dedicated server to everything on.

I heard it's been delayed, but we will soon see I suppose. I'll have to add those of you with a Switch soon too. Don't play mine very much right now honestly though.
