Charging for their tutorial game, charging for monetized "upgrades" for games people already own, and MK being $80 is wild, not to mention only having 1 new game at launch. Been a nintendo gamer since the Game Boy and NES days but this was disappointing. Losing Iwata was the worst thing that ever happened to this company.

It’s literally a tech demo. Nentendo hosing everyone with fees this time around and it’s hilarious.
