| MTZehvor said: I really don't understand why people buy consoles at launch unless there's an exclusive launch title you desperately want. You're getting the console at its most expensive and with the greatest chance of future technical problems, and with the smallest lineup of games it will ever have. So, for the topic...none. I don't buy consoles at launch. It doesn't make much sense to. Though I do agree that the complaints for the Switch lineup are overblown, at least comparing it to past launch lineups. |
In the case of the Switch, there's honestly nothing I want to play that desperately at launch, aside from Zelda which will be on Wii U. But, I know I'm going to want one at somepoint in the near future, before any major price drop. So it's worth it for me to buy the system when it's new and people are excited to come over and try it (or in this case try it when I bring it over) and generally get caught up in excitement over the thing. Especially since Nintendo tends to make solid products that don't break very often, and have good customer service when they do.
On topic, I usually by two games for a system if I'm picking it up at launch. One pick up and playish title to just check it out or play with friends and family, and one more in depth experience.
For the DS it was Feel the Magic and Mario 64 DS. Wii was Rayman Raving Rabbids and Twilight Princess. 3DS was Pilotwings Resort and Street Fighter. Wii U was Zombi U and NSMB Wii. For the switch, it looks like it will be 12Switch and Zelda.
