There are things to like for sure, and I don't mind a lot of the deficiencies. Even the online sub fee. But, even for free, the set-up for online voice chat/party chat/invite, ect, is a stupid, stupid, stuuuuupid, step backwards. And it's a step backwards into shit that nobody has ever attempted. On purpose. I don't step in shit on purpose. I can't use the system itself? And I get to pay for this nonsense? What the actual fuck? That's not happening. Plus I'm still bitter that the 1-2-Switch table tennis video has rendered me impotent. Still hoping it does well, but I'l be quite comfortable watching from the sidelines as opposed to getting in the game. This is a visual representation of the Switch's online setup:

I imagine it has to do with it being a mobile platform, which is to say it will often require that setup for people to communicate and such. The normal approach would have worked only some of the time.

I'm one of those people that plays my portable consoles exclusively at home. We do exist. I've met others out in the wild. :) When I'm out, I'm out, and not playing games. But is there a reason that such things should be totally absent from the system UI? I think not. I hope it's fixed, but hope doesn't sell me a Switch.
