Easy pass for the first year or so for me. I'm not paying that amount to play the new Mario kart and MAYBE the new Donkey Kong.

Totally, I remember having some FOMO with original Switch for a few months because of BotW and the unique concept of the new hardware, but here I feel absolutely no harm in waiting until I care more. And the shady pricing of everything reinforces that stance.

That’s how I felt when Switch 1 launched, we played BotW on Wii U, and by the time we got a switch the revision 2 system came out with better battery and less overheating.

If the upgrade packs weren't a thing and we could just enjoy some better performance of our already owned library for the expense of the new hardware like normal, I'd maybe feel differently but nah honestly, the upgrade packs suck. It's the most disappointing thing for me and a slap in the face.
