My problem is mentally justifying to spend that kind of money for just one game i want to play.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I've already pre-ordered my version, but that can still be canceled, but...

I feel, that Nintendo is still holding informations back. The release is in 1 1/2 month, and there is still mysteries.

-What's the OS like? What about VC? E-Shop? Features?
-Are those 4 games really all the games available at launch?
-What are the details about the online service? costs?

What games will be released this year?

I have that Nintendo itself doesn't really know.



Intel Core i7 8700K | 32 GB DDR 4 PC 3200 | ROG STRIX Z370-F Gaming | RTX 3090 FE| Crappy Monitor| HTC Vive Pro :3

for me my main problem is the games line up. But i can see a huge potential here so ive pre ordered mine.



Paid online.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

My thoughts & problem with the switch:
a) battery life.

b). The Launch LineUp is terrible. i see ports and minigames. And not enough games 2017.

c). The high price.
d). The weak hardware (&graphic on switch). That is why many great titles will not appear on it. And multigames with poorer graphics and less details. Example, DQH:

PS4: http://i.imgur.com/uut7i7Y.jpg
Switch: http://i.imgur.com/JJQG8Qw.jpg
I think and hope that end 2018 a stronger hardware upgrade of Switch will appear.

Price.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

ps4 controller is also $70, just like the switch pro controller. so why is everyone complaining about its price?

Old model is 37$ and the newer model is 47$, atleast on amazon. I assume its like that other places too.

So no the PS4 Dual shock 4, isnt that expensive.



My problem is that I cant get it out of my head because of all the negative points you mentioned above but to solve this problem I have to buy it asap...

Switch:

 

But Im not surprised.

It is a weaker system.



My few beefs with the console are the paid online and overpriced controllers. The console price itself is fair, though on the high end of what I was expecting/hoping for, especially if it doesn't come bundled with a game. What I think Nintendo shoud have done is either make a bare-bones pack for $250 and/or make a $300 pack that includes a game (maybe 1, 2 Switch or Arms) and possibly even a pro controller. Wii was $250 WITH a game ready to play out of the box, and a great one at that. 

If the online system is strong enough though, I'd be fine with at least a small monthly fee. Other than that, I love what I'm seeing and have very few issues. I do wonder a bit about those small joycons with the joystick so close to the buttons working with my large(ish) hands, but overall I'd give the console a solid B+ based on what I've seen. 

Hardware looks great, and the launch (window) lineup actually looks really solid to me. Maybe a bit light on the NEW titles and heavy on the ports/deluxe versions, but that's typical for a console launch, and I'm willing to bet most Switch owners will had never had a Wii U anyway (and thus many of the ports will be essentially new to them).
