The Danganronpas, metal gear solid HD collection, wipeout, madden, fifa, odin sphere, Assassin's Creed, super stardust, the final fantasy games that like X, X-2, and World of Final Fantasy, Tales of Hearts, and Trails of Cold Steel I & II. Every once in a while I would dabble in persona. Even minecraft. I already had an entire compound built up on my vita, but I wasn't about to start from scratch, yet again on my Switch. I ended up with like 30-40 hard copies of Vita games after years of picking up random games, mostly for cheap.
And that's not to say they were all good. I couldn't get into Gravity Rush at all, nor did I like Borderlands 2 or Black Ops: Declassified, and Freedom Wars got old very quickly. I have hard copies of all of them, but I don't think I'll ever crack open those cases again. I even got one of those japanese girl fighting games to try (Sengan Kagura I think). The icon was a girl's ass in panties. Super cringe.

To be honest, I think a big part of that was Playstation Plus. Every month I had two games to at least try for no additional cost, so there was always something new to try. Even if I only spent like an hour playign it before I got bored of it, it was still new. But every once in a while there was something like Helldivers or Sine More that I didn't put down for weeks. Besides that I got games like Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Wipeout, Need for Speed, Sly Cooper, and so many more top tier Vita titles for no upfront cost, ready to download whenever I like. Then there was all of the PS1 classics I played my formative gaming years playing that I got mostly when I played PSP and PS3, and even PSP digital games were solid on Vita. To this day there's no portable hockey experience better than NHL 07 for PSP on Vita.

And maybe that's one of my biggest problems. So many of those great indie/third party games that are out/coming to the Switch I've already played and owned on my Vita or PS3 or PS4. I don't feel any need to go back and start many of these games again, and if I did, I certainly don't feel like paying money for a game I already got for "free" on PS+. I'd just break out the Vita instead.

Gotcha, i was always interested in getting a PSP & Vita when they were on the market but for some reason I just never pulled the trigger.

fifa is much better on switch than vita, and it is getting assassins creed and hellblade. But yeah there isnt that much variety atm. it will come though this year after May onwards is rammed

Not sure if you meant to quote me but I have plenty to play on my Switch, probably about 40 games or so and dozens that I dont own but am interested in.

Sorry to hear OP. Not all system is for everyone.

And my feelings @potato_hamster

Funny to see so many defensive posts or need to say another platform is less used by someone as if he was attacking the system instead of just saying why he is using it less than he want.

Those are the breaks man. I've come to expect the kind of response every time I have something less than the utmost enthusiasm towards hardware with diehard followers (Note: I'm not singling out Nintendo fans or Switch fans).  I'm not saying that it occurred in this instance, or that any user had any ill intent, but I find it quite common there will always seems to be someone that seems to be checking in some way if my experience is genuine, or if I'm "doing it right".

To all the happy Switch owners out there -  If you love your Switches and are getting the most out of them, I think that's great. If you love your current games library and keep going back to titles I've tired of, that's great too. If you're super excited about Mario Maker 2 or Pokemon Sword/Shield, that's awesome, and I'm happy for you. If have any desire whatsoever to buy games that are just appearing on Nintendo consoles for the first time, or purchasing updated games you enjoyed on your 3DS or Wii U, have fun. Keep playing games and enjoying them.

I totally get a lot of that if you never owned a PSP or a Vita. Even more if you never owned a PS3/Xbox 360 or a PS4/Xbox One. (I can't remember and to be honest, can't be bothered to check).

I just really, really don't see nearly that many for me.

That is forum for you.

Switch is a great system, but not for everyone, so it's natural some people will see less value than others.

Are you recovered from the situation you described on the first post?

The switch has been totally ruined for me.
1st year I played and beat Zelda and Super Mario Odyssey and had a great time playing it. I had about 100 hours on the switch with these 2 games. Then the great game drought of 2018 came and I didnt turn on my switch between from January 2018 to October of 2018.  Then Super Mario party came out. I go to turn it on and nothing. Tried everything online and couldnt get it to charge or turn on. I sent it to Nintendo, paid $110 to have it fixed. When I get my switch back I lost all my save data, so I will never go back to try and get the few remaining moons in mario odyssey or more shrines in zelda because I would have to start from scratch. I finally fire up Super Mario Party and there are only 4 maps and none of them are fun to me and I don't like the Ally system, so the game doesn't have any replay value for me. My experience with the switch has been very disappointing. I fire up my xbox one all the time for a game of halo (only game I have on xbox one) or to watch netflix.

tldr switch has no replay value for me.

That is something very displeasant to happen =[

Let's not derail this thread. My own personal matters aren't the subject of the thread. Please feel free to PM me though.

For sure, I just said that because the person who quoted me was saying the Switch situation is about to improve, I think he meant to quote you though since his response didnt have much to do with what I said.
