As far as the lack of games, considering Zelda looks like about an 80-100 hour game if you do everything, so I'm fine for now, since Zelda games are some of the few I actually try to 100%.

Definitely check out Fast RMX. If you're an F-Zero fan you'll love that game. Also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out on the 28th, Arms is coming June 16, and Splatoon 2 is in July. Plus don't overlook some of the great indie stuff like Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, Snipper Clips, Puyo Puyo Tetris, The Binding Of Isaac, etc.

You have to give Nintendo an A+ for this launch. They had a masterpiece as a launch title, and they seemed to have the supply just about right. Enough that demand is still high but not too little that scalpers are making a killing like they did with the Wii. And the fact that they launched in March, which is definitely not your typical launch window.

It will be interesting to see if they can keep up the momentum. It looks like their strategy is to release about one "tent pole" game per month and fill the weeks in between with indie and minor 3rd party titles. This month we have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which should move some units. In May we have Minecraft with exclusive Nintendo licensed content, June we have Arms, July we have Splatoon 2, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 sometime after that. I'm sure they'll announce more at E3 for the fall months leading up to Super Mario Odyssey as the big holiday title.

I'm actually hoping for more Wii U "Deluxe" titles to get announced like Smash Brothers, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toads Treasure Tracker, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade Chronicles, etc. These were all fantastic games that had the misfortune to be on a crappy console. I'd love the opportunity to play these on Switch.

I'm honestly looking forward to GameCube games being on the Virtual Console, if the rumors are true, and assuming they can get all the good GC games on it.

Have you played Dark Moon on 3DS? It's awesome! I'd love for Nintendo to announce an all new Luigi's Haunted Mansion.

I haven't, but it's been on my wish list for a while. I don't play my 3ds near enough to justify buying games for it.

I did recently setup my old Wii with all my old GameCube games for my 6 year old. Mario Galaxy has been the game du jour, but it's just a matter of time before I pop in Luigi's Mansion.

The new shipments must have gone out because at Target this evening I saw about 10 Switch consoles, and was notified Best Buy had some too.

Nintendo’s online service for their Nintendo Switch system has long been the topic of many a discussion. While we’ve always known it was going to be a paid for subscription service, the price has been a mystery. But not anymore.

Nintendo has revealed the price and subscription options for Nintendo-Online.

The service will allow players to play online multiplayer, along with access to a mobile phone app that allows users to connect with friends for online play.

$20 for a year isn't bad at all.

Also the Classic Game Selection looks like a good reason they canned the NES Classic Console.

Also looks like Nintendo has changed the original strategy of classic games. At first it was reported that you'd only have access to the free games for a month, but now Nintendo is saying it works more like PlayStation Plus in that if you keep your subscription, your games don't go away.

I'm not much of an online gamer but for that feature alone I will subscribe (when I do get a Switch).

That's the best bet honestly. They're waaaaay more likely to get buy in that way.
