he said that Switch wouldn't have those apps because it's a game console so that's why people called him out.
If he said that Nintendo Switch wouldn't have those apps at launch then I would see people reacted differently tho.

I doubt that will be the price they will lower it most likely..I prefer buying it online at gamestop since I have 193 dollars in credit(Who wants to have to go to the store if you can pre order online) but if that is not available, I will pre order at target, or best buy, whoever posts it first

At the end of the day. Does it really matter if streaming apps are not available Day 1?
Yeah is sucks, but at this point I think most of us have multiple ways of using these apps. I don't think it's that big of a deal.
But I understand if criticism a raises since it's tablet like and has a stand making it useful for watching shows.

Probably SD but I'm sure you can move them if there's no option to choose beforehand.
That's fair. I thought I shared info on the possibility of them coming at a later time somewhere in this thread, and that what Vern was sharing was accurate info of the time.

Well it is better to start leaking the bad news now and give it a day or so to burn off. Not to distract from the games and other positives from the conference.
$299 would be bad, no media apps is bad, if there isn't as much third party support as we hoped, it is better to release that information now as well.

Yes, you did. I remembered you chimed in and share your thought on the matter.
Best buy has it in their computer for $249. Best Buy also guarantees that if the final price is higher you still pay the lower price. So there is no way they are going $249 on a 300+ item
Well Nintendo can probably buy MicroSD cards in bulk for cents, so it would be nice for them to throw in a 128 or greater one in the pack.
Cool. Thought I did because I wanted to calm some of those concerns, but honestly everything regarding Switch/NX has started to blend at this point.
Just two misinformed fake insiders in a pod, you and I.
I said plans are subject to change, I'm sure you could dig up posts were I clarified that I didn't expect them at launch specifically. It wasn't because it was a games console, obviously game consoles have those kinds of apps, it was because Nintendo was pitching the idea of strictly a games console, with no extraneous glfeatires that distract from the games, to the people I know. If you recall I also mentioned a lot of it was my speculation, like a lack of web browser for example.
I was told months ago, I believe my first post regarding this was October, that they weren't planning to have any 3rd party entertainment apps, at least initially. Since I mentioned that I also have always maintained that plans are subject to change... I have heard nothing indicating that they have changed and nothing indicating that they haven't. Im just as eager to know the truth about the OS and features as anyone else.
Well I don't know anything about Japanese software so...
They figured it out. They're making one system where they're putting their full development might behind. If Switch got the 3rd party support 3DS did plus all of Nintendo's muscle, we are in for a treat.

Not a fan of the "at launch" qualifier.
It's Nintendo supposedly catching up to competition and modernization.

OBE1 leak so take that for what you will but he said his informant told him that online is free at launch and i guess wanted to make sure he didnt take it as definitely free forever.

Two Hundred and Ninety Nine US Dollars??!
If this is real, it's going to be like $350 in Canada. FML. I might have to wait until after launch.

Yeah, I had to ask a question and I got an answer from you along with Nathan Drake. That's when I started to back out because it would make sense if apps are coming out later on.
Just bear with me and trying to understand where other posters came from so take a look at this quote,
I don't blame people if they jump into the conclusion with that post. I know you elaborated more later on but sometime the post without details would make a huge impression for some people and they would jump into conclusion, like I did.

But this point can't they be either $249 (Bestbuy) or $299 (Target) as both are place holders. Is one more reliable than the other?
if its 299 in US it will be 399 in Canada, if its 249 in the US it will be 349 in Canada....

Nintendo Network and Nintendo Network Pro. All online services will be free for everyone but if you want to help with maintaining the new dedicated servers you can get Pro.
Nintendo Network Pro ($3.99/month) includes:
- Ability to play 1 Virtual Console game per month for free (Gets removed from inventory after month ends)
- 5 Nintendo Club Gold Coins/month
- 2 day early access to Nintendo game demos
This would be preferable.

And let's be real, there will probably be two SKUs.
Well Best Buy Promises you the lower price on preorder if the price turns out to be higher . So If it sells for 300+ then all those $249 preorders cost BestBuy $50 each.
Its not in best buys interest to place it cheaper than expected
Yes, I assume as much.

Gonna wake up early in the morning to catch the presentation then straight to a press event to try the switch out.
Finally, its almost here. See you on the other side.

one day Time Machines will change our suffering
PS4 UC4 bundle is 299 in the US and 349 in Canada.
Obe1's source used "at launch"when providing the info so he's speculating on his own that it means they will eventually start charging.

I'm honestly confused as to why the status of media apps would even be known right now.

Why is time moving so slowly...
Inverted Song of Time, I think.
Around an hour. More or less.
I don't think we will be so lucky
Maybe there's a correlation.
