I’m happy with it because I only had to fork out £28 for it with Zelda & a Pro Controller after my WiiU & 3DS trade-ins... but I’d be disappointed with it if I’d paid full-whack.
Poor online is the biggest drawback but also there are not enough games that suit my tastes just at the mo - but will get better when Mario & Xenoblade 2 are released of course!
So do I wait until this comes out...
...or pick up the standard edition on PS Store for sale at £24.99?

What do you think guys & gals?
I blame Nintendo. It’s their fault for not having an invite/Party system on the OS.
In not having one on yet another console they've created this impression for others that Nintendo fans don’t care much for online gaming - even with friends, hence the lack of proper voice chat options for so long too.
Why should a developer put the extra resources into further development when the consumer base doesn’t have a big enough desire for it?
You need an invite system that’s linked to the OS, like the other consoles have.
Otherwise the developer has to go out of their way setting up an entirely new invite system.
I don’t blame EA, they don’t want to spend the further development costs.
