I got a special voucher sent to me by eBay, so I managed to pick up a single joycon for £24, an almost acceptable price. Now I can finally get Mario Party.

Any reason for that, it did happen to some acquintances but it never does with me :(

No idea, think it's just random. I don't even use ebay much. But they sent me a £10-off voucher to spend on anything, with no minimum spend.

Probably a Pokemon direct?

Rough translation:
"Jamaharoa! I wonder if it's another dimension when so strong power gathers... I remember!
Hi-ness said that "the hole" which leads to the Ikuwkan is opened!
The time and the dimension are exceeded, and it is dangerous because it is possible to run to another world and it says! "

ay HAL, this is more than the simple tease and dream friends reveals they did for the previous wave, they are building up something bigger.

I'm not talking about resolution, though, I'm talking about sheer production values. Some of the environments in the cutscenes look like they came straight from pre-rendered PS1 game openings, if not worse. Most of the cutscenes look like this, because budget, but in the more important ones, such as the opening and the subspace entrance, it's obvious how much more care was put into them, they look awesome regardless of resolution.

Like I said I'd have to disagree. I just watched some of the ones I remember and they look pretty good to me. Nowhere near as good as when I was 8 and the game just came out ... but that's besides the point. Examples being Donkey Kong's entrance, the EXTREMELY WELL REALIZED Ness and Pokemon trainer scenes (extremely creepy), the scenes with Pikachu and Samus, the Marth and Meta Knight scenes, the Rayquaza scene. They "look cheap" because they're 2008 Nintendo. It might just be a generational thing (Wii games may have at one point looked "close enough" to PS3/360 games especially early in it's life), but I think Nintendo in general has just gotten a lot better at making their limitations well ... not look like limitations. Stuff like Mario Kart 8. Also Brawl is like the last Nintendo game to go for a somewhat gritty style, everything looks brown and dusty. If they can make a clean presentation for the Switch cutscenes, with 1080p, no doubt they will look better already. I just hope there are a decent amount. 

Also, the "sheer production values" looking like "pre-rendered PS1 game openings" most likely has to do with the resolution of those assets so .. 

The biggest problem is probably that the characters occasionally look like SFM animations  

There is a Wii2HDMI adapter for like 10-15 dollars/euros and it greatly improves image quality (for cheap of course). It's how I play them and I don't have to use the Framemeister or anything. Also, it works great for Gamecube too.

I feel for these guys. They've had to straight up come out and say it's already decided, and yet they'll still be getting constantly hounded by fanboys screeching "GENO" "WALUIGI" "GOKU" "SHREK" or whatever other stupid crap is the latest meme.

Reading such messages ironically make it more understandable why they decided it themselves.
