So? Are you getting a Switch at launch? What games are you going to play online? Why does every single detail must be blown out of proportion, before we even get to see the full picture? 

And? I'm not getting a Switch at launch so I'm not allowed to talk about it? All people not preordering it have no right to say what they think of the console, is that it? That will turn out well...

You're right to say that the online is useless at launch though, because there is basically no game using it. Luckily, there are almost no third party games announced and even less third party games using online features. I'm sure it's on purpose, they surely refused a lot of third party support because their online infrastructure is not ready yet. Let's only wait for what Nintendo wants for Nintendo games, and then ask third party developers to only follow what Nintendo plans to do with their own games. Nintendo doesn't use online feature in Zelda? Too bad, you can't release a game using it either. Awesome.

And why do you keep saying "we don't have the full picture". THAT'S THE POINT. The console is releasing in less than 2 months, and we don't know how much people are going to pay, and what for. And we maybe won't even know that before several month. Great launch strategy.

You'll be able to play online just fine in March. It's only the phone app that will release later. Until then, gaming online won't be any different than it is currently on the Wii U. Details for the app and how it all works and why will come later. But a free version of the app will be made avaialable this summer. Probably to test everything out. As for the rest of what you've been saying, especially that second paragraph... Gosh, seriously...
