Uplay is the one thing that makes the whole idea lovely, because if Nintendo or Steam had something like that it would be amazing. Uplay is the worst.

Nintendo technically does have something like this, if you link My Nintendo to the phone games you can unlock coins by completing "missions" and use them to buy a whole bunch of unsatisfying and pointless digital rewards.

I would be super stoked if their paid online meant a revamp and expansion of this system to be worth it (gimme a loving $5 off coupon for 1,000 coins, or something that isn't a jpeg phone background or a hat for Miitomo which I never play) but welp, Nintendooooo.

Did anybody else notice that there's an entry for "supported play modes" in the eShop? So presumably they're leaving the door open to touch-only tablet mode games?

There's already a game on the eShop that's tablet only.

I'd be happy if it were just system themes and user icons. I think PS4 has some user icons that are unlocked by achievements.

Just went to a Saturn here in Muenster, Germany and they had like 5 gazillion Neon Switches. I wonder if this is just a USA and/or big city problem.

I actually like those types of turn based strategy games and even when I was an edgy weeaboo teenager who was way into anime, that game was too loving anime for me. I thought Final Fantasy characters with all the belts and zippers looked kinda cool, but between that game's overly-excessive anime style, the "anime humor" and the literal Penguin of Doom--I knew it was painfully bad just from that alone.

I have NO idea how it made 5 games, possibly some spin off games, and merchandise. That company had a game, Phantom Brave, that I actually liked. It was the same as Disgaea, with the anime notch turned down to about 2 or 3. But they made more money with Disgaea so they never went on to do anything else.
anime, anime? anime. anime. anime. anime... anime? anime! ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aren't the My Nintendo rewards basically desktop wallpapers though? UPlay got me some clothes and stuff in The Division, if I recall correctly. Pretty sweet to have some exclusive DLC that's free if you just play the games long enough. I think Mario Run does something like this but I have no clue.

Fingers crossed for news of an Arms demo with the Direct. More Testfire days would be cool too.

Yes. A lot of the rewards and free stuff they offer are backgrounds or printable things, such as an Animal Crossing themed Mother's Day card. You can unlock Toad in Mario Run by linking it to your My Nintendo account, and I think some of the spendable currency items in Fire Emblem.

Since it's now confirmed we're never getting the virtual console, I'm thinking I'll just use up my Nintendo points for the 20% off Super Mario World for the NEW 3DS XL because that's the only way to play it on the go now and forever.

How large are the games?

I was able to cancel my GameStop bundle pre-order and snag a $299 on Amazon today with MK8.

Wondering if I should get Zelda physical or just get an SD and go digital.

Zelda is like 13GB and I think Mario Kart is roughly 7.

If you get an SD, I recommend a large one or go exclusively for smaller indie titles if you opt for a smaller one. Switch carts are tiny, so there's not much point in digital if you're swapping out a bunch of similarly sized SD cards.

Me too! And right after last night I was bummed out after deciding I couldn't afford to pay for one upfront at Toys R' Us on Friday. But got a notification on my phone while at the grocery store and bought one on my Amazon Store Card with 6 month financing. Going to Switch so hard.
