Nintendo Switch live...
Megatron:
This may be one of the best ads for Nintendo I have seen in a long time...for parental controls, no less.

I strongly disagree with this statement

I feel like the WiiU is the Nintendo console that people will look back on and say "why wasn't I buying these games when they were still available?!"

You are so right that it's a bit scary. Retailers aren't selling them online anymore. Seems like they just dissappeared.. on ebgames (canadian game stop) Wii U links are gone and you have Switch links. Because of the hardware nature, I would like to get a backup system, but nobody is selling them for cheap.

I really REALLY can't stand some of the modern consoles OS. Especially the PS4. It's just a mess. I don't like that I have a bunch of pre installed apps that I cannot delete like Playroom, Playstation Now, Music, yards yada.
If it could be more like the 3DS or PS Vita, I would be cool with that.

I'm willing to bet it'll be clean and simple like the Wii & WiiU. After all, they are making a dedicated game machine, and not some bloated silly "entertainment hub" like Sony and Microsoft. The Xbox One interface makes me want to scream. It's like the OS comes with viruses and the entire GUI is made up of pop-up windows.
I'm with ya on the pre-installed crap. I hate that my phone is the same way. I had to make a folder labeled "junk" for all the damned widgets that I NEVER use, since Apple deemed them too important to be wiped from memory >:(

I had been waiting for a price drop on the Wii U for a long time, and decided to finally bite the bullet when I had a chance to get a new one for 20% off. I continued to tell myself that I might pick up a spare if I ever saw one for cheap, but honestly, I'm not sure that will ever happen.
