Can't say I agree....selling a bundle of NES games for a one time payment of $20 could probably fly, but yearly? No. If their "online service" meant they were paying for dedicated servers, then there would be some justification for charging (though $20 would still be overpriced) but as it is...

I hate to be negative, but the Wii U had a lot of promises made for 3rd party support too and...if I'm honest, I could see the Switch failling to achieve this for all the same reasons. As far as my expectations are going...
I think Nintendo could do a better job with the family marketing too. They make it look more like it's a kid thing and parents can sorta "join in" if they want...and here they target just to adults. Well what if we started with an adult, and then someone younger--their little brother, son...
Doesn't look bad, but I wasn't fond of the trailer...it's basically people trying to take a ridiculously large "handheld" and play it in unrealistic situations:
