2015. Got it a bit too late, all things considered

There are negatives to getting it late? All I can see are positives, namely more games to choose from.

On most consoles, sure. But the Wii U is the exception to that. All of its good games are getting ported or recieving enhanced ports on other consoles. So the whole system feels more like a Beta test for the Switch than anything else

2012. I feel for those who bought expecting a 2015 Zelda.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yeah if it was anyone other than Nintendo. Pikmin 3 was already off of shelves. Bayo 2 was pretty much gone by then too. Limited runs on games meant that if you didn't get them at launch then they became quite difficult to get. At least physical copies.

 

Well they did give Pikmin 3 another run via Nintendo Select and I had no issue getting Bayo 2 off Amazon, though the availability probably isn't the same everywhere. There's always the eShop though!

That shouldn't affect your enjoyment of those games though, it's not like MK8 is suddenly worse and the experiences you had with it are ruined because a Switch remaster exist.

2012. December, because it didn't launch officially in Brazil, so I had to buy it from the grey market.

I got it with NSMBU, Nintendo Land and ZombiU.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

In 2014, the best year of the console. I thought it was gonna be a Mario Kart machine, but at the end I found a lot of games I loved, and looks like the best one still has to come.

November 2012. Don't regret any single hour, especially those ones from this year.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
