I finally caved and bought a Switch on Black Friday. Given that the system is nearly 3 years, I figured now would be a point overloaded with an amazing backlog of software, similar to my experience when I finally got a Wii U 2 years ago.
I played Odyssey back when it came out when I went to see my brother and his family for Christmas 2017 the whole way through, and owned Zelda for Wii U so I was able to hold out for a long stretch.
When I logged in and got into the eShop, I kept thinking I was doing something wrong with search. I took for granted this thing would have a ton of apps by now but.... all that came up were Hulu and Youtube? What's going on here? I then tried to look up the back catalog for RPGs. A few must-haves like Trials of Mana but mostly just downscaled old ports.
And speaking of old ports.... no virtual console? Not that I'm huge on rebuying straight ports for a premium but it would've helped pad out what feels like a pretty barren storefront. The system is pretty convenient and feels nice though, and I am looking forward to Pokemon despite the negativity, but I guess I just missed hearing about all of these issues and/or just assumed they'd be fixed by now.
