I'm excited to see impressions of Zelda and ARMS, and see people get their hands on the system. I'm excited to see how it sells launch month. I'm excited to see what is announced at E3

Not yet excited about getting the system, as I currently don't know when that will be. Could be later this year with the right announcements at E3's Direct, but certainly won't be at launch with that lineup and price point.

Not paying $300 (about BRL 1200 in Brazil) for it

Maybe next year, I'm already satisfied with my PS4 :)



I am. I'm a huge fan of handhelds and it seems like the Switch is the only device I will get in the next few years. I hate gaming on smartphones and tablets. With that in mind, stuff like the price, launch line-up etc. are non-issues to me. There simply isn't any real alternatibe to the Switch. Being able to play on the TV is a nice bonus. I also enjoyed the Super Gameboy and the Gameboy Player back in the days. That stuff is now part of the package! In the end, the Switch is the successor of my beloved Gameboy Advance which I was waiting for since more than 10 years. I never was a huge fan of that whole DS stuff, I played more on PSP and Vita in the last years. And for the first time in history, Nintendo is delivering a handheld with ridiculous processing power, which is a nice bonus. Not that I care too much about graphics though. If I would, I wouldn't be so much into handheld gaming. =P

Its too hard to get one even if the person want a day 1 purchase. I will wait until the end of the year because it will be too expensive in my country.

The new Mario game looks very nice, but it is a holidays game, not a launch game.

300US$ was = 540-560R$ 2-3 years ago.

Nice! I'm hoping for there to be a Direct or something sometime in February or before launch that goes over some new games we haven't seen yet. Hopefully with more confirmed release dates since all we know for now after the Switch launches in March is that Mario Kart is coming in April, we still don't know what's coming for the rest of April, May, etc outside of vague release timings like Arms in Spring and Splatoon in Summer. 

There's a Direct dedicated to Fire Emblem tomorrow.  Hopefully a new game will be announced in addition to details about Fire Emblem Warriors and the mobile game.  http://gematsu.com/2017/01/fire-emblem-nintendo-direct-set-january-18

Yeah, I know about the Fire Emblem one tomorrow. I'm hoping for a general Direct or something though that doesn't just focus on a specific game or series, just one that shows off a bunch of new games we haven't seen yet. That would be great to keep the hype going for what's to come after launch, since like I said we really don't know what's coming next outside of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in April and some vague release timings like Spring for Arms and Summer for Splatoon 2.

Are there tariffs or something in place in Brazil, or is that common in South America?

I remember seeing duty-free Wii U games in an airport in Ecuador that were 2 years old and still going for about $80+, blew my mind. It's a shame accessibility is more difficult for a lot of the world :



I'll get it once Mario hits. Very much excited for it. Just wish launch was better, oh well.

Still need to see more. VC support (will I have to buy each game again?), online subscription (price), bundles...



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
