The system seems to be decent around this time. Last console from Nintendo that I was this much interested in was the GameCube. However though.....with it not having Netflix or any sort of multimedia is kinda a dumb move imo when the 3DS can stream Netlfix lol.

My PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox one, Wii, WiiU, smartphone, iPad can all stream Netflix. And that's just my devices, not all the devices in my household. Oh, and my TV can stream Netflix as well.

When Xbox One wanted to "merge TV and consoles" everyone complained that they should be focusing on games instead of TV. Now Nintendo ignores TV and everyone complains that every console should stream TV??

I get what you mean. I barely use that stuff aside from YouTube and Netflix lol. All I'm asking is why take it away when most of their consoles and handheld devices have those features lol. Seems kinda backwards. I'm sure Nintendo knows what they're doing after all.

Well I don't think Nintendo develops those apps, it's up to Netflix to do it.

another meme by nintendo to make jokes of.
why dont you guys go buy a ps4 and get hyped for uncharted 5

maybe because of the name of the 4th movie...

Netflix just isn't supported on launch, still possible it will be on the console.

The amount of games and services is pretty small on launch overall, but I have a feeling we might see things like Netflix added later on, if you aren't interested in any of the launch titles just wait to purchase it until more things are added.

However to those purchasing this keep in mind that it's main focus is to be a dedicated gaming console but there is always the possibility they expand beyond this.

I personally wouldn't care if it had no support for Youtube/Netflix and other multimedia applications I have a computer for that don't see the point in needing a Switch just for things like that.

I still have one of the wiis that can play gamecube games.

I'm not buying the Switch but I think they should have made sure they had multimedia like Netflix/Youtube on at launch. No one's going to not buy it just because they don't have it, but it definitely doesn't help increase sales. I personally wouldn't care for it if I did buy a switch, but I can definitely see parents/young kids wanting that on the Switch for when the kids are in the car, on an airplane, etc. Having netflix would be very nice.

If only the system had some sort of way to play co-op games while traveling. That should be Nintendo's next project. We can call it the Nintendo Toggle.

Pretty sure that's something that was implied in the trailer for it.

it doesnt need internet connection to play locally you know, me and my friend play monster hunter on the bus co-op all the time

Except...you can(at least locally). In fact you can 'switch' the joy cons that come with the system into two separate controllers.

GUYS I WAS TRYING TO SAY YOU CAN JUST LET THE KIDS PLAY THE DAMN GAMES INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM WATCH NETFLIX LIKE THE SYSTEM IS INTENDED FOR
