This will be the first time since the NES that I won't be picking up the newest Nintendo console and/or handheld. I hope people have fun with it but nothing about it excites me unfortunately and the prices are just too much for me to be able to justify. It's already been expensive enough as it is gaming and this is just getting worse.
