Its a bad thing as it will see Piracy occur as well as online cheating.  Spaltoon2 has already had instances of people cheating online via hacks.

Nintendo need to nuke any account that has gone online via a hacked switch.

Hacking is one thing. Sideloading emulators and homebrews is another entirely.

Agreed but the problem is more often than not its not used for side-loading and homebrews.  People see it as a way to exploit games or get free software so for me the negatives far outweigh the positives.

Free games > some dorks cheating.

I'll buy one for sure when it's cracked.

How so? It means I'll allegedly try way more games than I would normally. I allegedly download movies and TV shows, why not video games?

So....Pokemon looks like it's going to be boss.

A return to the original 151 Pokemon, Pokemon GO elements don't look to be game breaking (or even needed) when playing, can't wait!

Following by a core game release in 2019 with a whole new generation! Solid 2 years of Pokemon right there!

Less people buying games means less games being released on the switch.

Luckily these kind of hacks are not mainstream like when the DS was cracked and everyone knew what to do.

This patently isn't true. EU studies have shown that piracy has a negligible effect on computer games sales and in certain circumstances boosts popularity and exposure of some games leading to games selling more units. Very few consumers who pirate products would ever have gone on to purchase a particular title anyway so there is a disconnect between piracy and sales at even a base level.

Exploiting and hacking is a key part of any console community. It helps expose flaws which a manufacturer could never reasonably predict and allows people who love retro and homebrew the platform to play games and explore whatever mad software and rom hacks people have the time and will to create.

Yeah I don't like cheaters in online games, but cracking games and passing them around is good for everyone.

What's wrong with billion dollar companies? The developers, artists, musicians put in hundreds of hours work.
"All the lads have been talking about is walking out in front of the Kop, with 40,000 singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'," Collins told BBC Radio Solent. "All the money in the world couldn't buy that feeling," he added.

Employees won't be affected at all. Absolute worst case the executives miss out on some bonuses, who cares about them though?

So if everyone has the same mindset in regards to piracy, and everyone did it, How do they make money to pay employee's who create the software?

Piracy only has a neglible effect because 99 percent of people aren't pirating stuff, if everyone did it, you would have nothing to pirate because it wouldn't exist.

I'm not taking the moral high ground btw. I'm not innocent I'm just saying if everyone did it, they'd be nothing left to pirate.

Had it pre-ordered anyway but first round on the online tournament, ended up having a half hour match with someone.

Finished it by winning 7-5 on the tie break, such a good match!

Matchmaking is shite though, keep getting matched with people with over 1k in points when i’ve only got like 160 myself.

It’s boss, wasn’t on my radar but defo getting this now. Glad they’ve got a mode without all the new features as well, just normal shots.

Got matched with someone earlier with nearly 3000 points, what the fuck, only been available since yesterday!

Got up to make a cup of tea about half 6 this morning and been playing it ever since. This is the sort of game Nintendo is almost best at creating. A tennis game has no rights to be this fun.

Yeah it's alot of fun although as someone else said the matchmaking is shit. Also I got paired with someone called Link, what are the chances of get paired with someone called Link, pretty much zero and I got paired with someone called flo twice but In the first game her level was in the hundreds and the second time i played her (in the final) her level was 7 thousand odd, all in the space of half an hour. Something makes me think ive been playing bots.

Managed to win a couple of tournaments today, first time with Rosalina and second time with chomp chomp. Was losing the final as Chomp Chomp but the other fella broke all his rackets trying to return the special move shots :D

The swerve you can put on Rosalina's serve is disgusting

Was great to play, had no lag in any of the games and each game felt fair and well matched.

The zone shots and special shots add a great little flair to the game as well.
