Nintendo Switch

I'm glad they're finally starting the game bundles now. Although the games are not the absolute best the console has to offer if you ask me, it's still a nice offer.

A new bundle containing Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu or Eevee and Pokeball Plus will be released on November 18th for $400.

Starting on November 16, you can score a special bundle that includes a Nintendo Switch system, Pikachu- and Eevee-themed Joy-Con controllers, a digital copy of #PokemonLetsGo Pikachu or Eevee, and a Poké Ball Plus! https://t.co/yMbUKP7wfx pic.twitter.com/6p0sKk9vUL

I like how there finally making character themed Joy-Cons and designs on the back of the Switch now and I'm sure this bundle will be a hot holiday item.

To bad it won't be available to purchase after it hit store shelves, since I expect scalpers to pick every last one & resell for a ton of cash online. -_-

Nintendo Switch online is now live. Does anyone plan on paying for it or trying the free trail. I just payed the $20 so I can keep playing ARMS, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 online. So fair it's been a mixed bag for me. While Splatoon 2 runs great the NES games would not run while online for me at all no matter what I tried.

Nope, I'm not paying to get online until I have Animal Crossing Switch in my hot little hands.

I bought it right away mainly because Splatoon 2. If it weren't for that, I probably would have just waited for something actually worthwhile to come to the service. Gameguy and I can both attest to the fact that the online play for the NES games, at least when the service was just made available, did not work well at all. (although I have seen people say it works fine, so who knows) Online play in Splatoon 2 was super smooth though even compared to usual.

I don't have any online games to play atmo & tbh the availiblity to play NES games also interests me none whatso ever. A lot of NES titles I already own on the WiiU or physically already so I'm good not getting online until next year. Also, yea I know that Pokemon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu are online, I never play online with any Pokemon game anyway. Also I don't think the 3DS is effected with the wifi plan, just the Switch is.. Right? Otherwise, meh.

If I had to pick a set I would go with Purple and Orange due to not liking yellow much.

I'm surprised they never started selling them individually, especially since they have colors and stuff so you could choose the two you want, but I guess it's prolly easier to have them together so no parent buys one only and yells, not a big fan of the yellow but like the others
