Nintendo Switch Pros and Cons

[SvennoJ]

Hmm not a lot of pros for me

Pros:

- Mario Odyssey looks like a must play
- Slightly smoother version of BotW
- My kids will probably like Splatoon 2, not for me though
- My kids will probably also like MK8, although just like Splatoon they haven't touched it for half a year at least.

Cons:

- Not interested in a handheld, have to pay extra for it anyway
- Can't use it as a controller with touchscreen map/inventory like the WiiU gamepad as it has to sit in the dock.
- Can't sit inside my AV cabinet as the unit has to slide out the top
- Pricey extra dock for use on my projector
- Not looking forward to asking my kids where the Switch is every time I want to play
- Small game cards possibly to get lost
- Extra storage is a must
- Pricey extra controllers, can you still use wii motes instead?
- Paid online, not gonna pay for using it maybe once a year
- Paid online, even less likely to get Splatoon 2
- Very weak launch lineup. Mario Odyssey is the only exclusive that really interests me.

Still I'm tempted, it's a Nintendo console after all. Zelda and Mario look amazing. My heart says get it day one, my mind says you're an idot. Wait for the inevitable price drop after the summer and get it bundled with Mario Odyssey in fall.

My mind would have been in it too with Redout, Lego Undercover 2 or a Rayman game coming at launch. Or Mario Odyssey ofcourse. Playing 4 people co-op Mario on day one was what sold me the WiiU. although that was CAD 100 less at the time and no need to buy new controllers.
