"Users will be able to try out Nintendo Switch online services for free during a trial period after launch. Then it will become a paid service beginning in the fall of 2017. We will provide additional details on this paid service and its features on our home page at a later date." (emphasis mine)
As it turns out "Nintendo Switch online services" didn't mean "online play". It meant Nintendo's paid online app and subscription service, which, to be clear, did not launch on release. It launched several months after the Switch did. So the quote Rol is saying that I was "shown proof the Switch will have online at launch" actually didn't prove that at all. Zorg was wrong. Rol was wrong. That quote didn't say what they thought it said, and as it turns out my interpretation of the wording of that quote was the correct one. I, along with Zorg, Rol and other's were just wrong about what "Nintendo Switch Online services" actually meant.
Ahh right... "anti-Nintendo bias" that actually supports not interpreting Nintendo's PR as favorably as possible as Rol insisted I should have.
Let's move on to the next quote, and let me emphasize something
"If this type of shit isn't ready at launch, delay your console and spare yourselves the embarassment! It has to be obvious to you at this point that the launch of the Switch has been rushed. This console isn't ready. This platform definitely isn't ready. But fuck it. Rushing things out the door in the video game industry has never worked out poorly, has it?"
Last I checked, saying "IF this type of shit isn't ready at launch", isn't "a definitive claim", is it, Rol? Since Nintendo did have an online multiplayer ready at launch, it means I didn't think they rushed the console and it was ready. How awful of me.
Rol, all you're proving is that you've have reading comprehension issues for a long, long time. That, or you're so biased you can't even realize that even when you dig up your little document on me and try and discredit me the quotes you pull out actually don't say what they think they do!
But hey, why actually analyze things objectively as you can when you can analyze them the Rolstoppable way? Keep trolling through that document you have on me to argue with strangers on an anonymous internet forum and try and one-up them! It's noble work you're doing Rol!

Isn't arguing over whether or not it launches on March 3rd, or by the end of March splitting hairs?
"Nintendo Switch Online Services didn't mean online play."
Yes it did. Online play was a part of Online Services. If I say I'm going to give you object A, and object B is a part of object A, then you can safely assume that you are going to get object B. Example: I'm going to give you a Nintendo Switch. This implies that I'm going to give you a set of joycons, because they are a part of a Nintendo Switch.
