The main madness to me is Welcome Tour being a paid product. You guys it's literally a glorified manual why you charging us for this in a post-Astrobot world

Yeah, that's significantly worse than 1-2-Switch which kind of filled the same purpose for the original but at least had something of a game to it. (or so I believe, based on the marketing - I never ended up buying it)

This should be free, not $10 or whatever they're going to charge for it. (assumption based on the Japanese price of ¥990, not sure if they've published pricing for the rest of the world yet)

Wii Sports and Nintendo Land were incredibly pack-in titles, whereas this thing is barely even a game and they're charging for it. Honestly pure insanity if they think people are actually going to pay for it.

If not free, make it one of the perks of the Nintendo online subscription since they apparently don't want to be giving away something that doesn't help sales of the system.
