I now have a better experience,with more games, including non-Nintendo consoles, and wirelesscontrollers. I can only devote so much time of the day stalking onlinesites (even using services like NowInStock which often didn't respondfast enough for the handful of minutes things become available), so ifNintendo isn't going to take these devices seriously enough to want mymoney, then lots of people like me are going to have moral shifts inorder to obtain the same (or better) experience.Re: Metroid poll... I actually jumped from the original NES right to theWii (having switched to PC gaming in the interim) so I'd happily playwhatever Metroid games for Switch get produced.
