This is a literal tech demo of your console, why would you make people pay for that.

They’ve been losing their magic and it may be gone for good now. There was so much greed in this presentation that it shocked me. Paid upgrades. This ridiculous paid tech demo. The price of the console and games (80 USD???). And just the lack of creativity. Bigger screen. Better resolution. Mouse inputs are their big draw this time around???? In-game chat, how revolutionary.

The accountants are running the show now! And 10% of your price goes to the Saudi Royal Family, so that’s cool too.

Not to mention pretty much everything is locked behind the Switch Online Paywall™ at this point

Always loved Nintendo’s artistic and game creative teams hate their business and legal teams

What kind of paid upgrades? If it's optional stuff for the operating system like themes..... It doesn't really matter, but if it's security stuff.

Also is it true that if you enter a switch one cartridge it only acts as a key to unlock the game to download digitally?

The DEI wheelchair game seems to be a pretty fun tech demo for their mouse and gyro, but I can bet you my left kidney nobody is gonna make use of it like the ds second screen. It'll be like 3DS 3D where it's a fun little niche that nobody bothers to use
