Hahaha, good one OP...

Well, it's certainly a start. Hopefully the switch can get something like youtube soon. Personally, I'd really like Crunchyroll to get on the system soon too...

Dance my pretties!

tfw op makes the joke before you can even post it...

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
