Yep, which makes it even shittier. MS and Sony give away quality games that you get to keep as long as your subscribed. Nintendo won't even give you an old ass ROM.
And I'm betting Nintendo will still try to charge $60 for the "service"

The depth sensor is for sure the price killer. Functionally, it's probably less useful than a Wiimote, but technologically it seems more like a mini-Kinect. It can see individual gestures and sense depth of objects (not just an IR lightbar, like the Wii-mote's sensor, which doesn't require a lot of resolution or stereoscopy).
So each joycon probably has to have two decent resolution optical sensors. That's going to drive up cost. But I guess it was important to them to retain some Wiimote-like functionality.
Nintendo needs to realize that absolutely no one cares about shitty partially motion tracked controllers to play non-VR games in 2016.
bbobb and Chux will both have this thing by April. Chux will have MAME on it by May.
"Lily really wanted it so..."
I don't get the negativity. The system does exactly what was promised, and I wanted it before for exactly those features. We got the launch lineup that was expected, which is basically "Zelda, Zelda, Zelda!!!!" and info on more things coming throughout the year. About the most negative headline I can give it is Nintendo Doesn't Set World On Fire With Switch Reveal. It's still pretty much what I expected even without the global conflagration.
ARMS looks wonderful, too. The backlash reminds me of people coming into the Babbages I worked at back in the day telling me how dumb Monkey Ball and Pikmin looked. Every time I heard that was

and now it's happening again.
I think the smart move would have been making ARMS a pack-in. It's a game that looks fun, but probably won't sell much on its own, and giving it away ensures there will be an online player base for it.
