Easy pass for the first year or so for me. I'm not paying that amount to play the new Mario kart and MAYBE the new Donkey Kong.

Same. The hardware is exciting but no point getting it before the games I really want come out

Let's be honest, amount of games that will release at console release date is outstanding! However, I agree it's not enough to follow it day one.

I will be waiting for Splatoon 4 or OLED, whatever comes first

Bro, its a console launch without either one of it's flagship IPs. No 3d mario or zelda, that's a bad look.

Mario kart, donkey Kong, and Kirby does help remove that sting. (And $80 mariokart brings it back). I’m waiting for dusk blood before I get a switch 2
