Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I broke down and got a switch

megaman79 on 11 March 2017

So did I. I quit smoking, hard drugs and gambling, but buying a Switch and BOTW has been a literal death sentence.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Of course congratz for ur purchase, but IMO Wii U is better option for dudes like u and me - mean non nintendo gamers - u got all the Wii/Wii U library ( physical boxes ) with abysmal amount of cash.

Of course Switch is more future console so its not bad at all.

Well, ive always been a Nintendo fan at heart, but never saw a complete console as good as the SNES or N64 in terms of support. The Switch offers something, Sony had tried to do but didnt quite knock out of the park. When I am out and on the go this could be the device for me. When I leave my other consoles behind, this will come with me.

Congrats, I haven't found the want to jump in head first yet, but it's Nintendo so I'll be there soon enough.

Gotcha. Do you have any other Nintendo platforms?

Had a feeling. You had alternatives to getting botw. Hahah! Im a sucker.  Nah, just kidding.  Mario Odyssey, Zelda, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart all sold me. Im sure there are other games that I am missing. As the years go by I plan on taking some trips.

Well, dispite the generic looking art style, and what seems like several steps back as far as customization based on what we seen so far, I'd say keep an eye on Xenoblade 2 (probably when I'll take my leap and get a Switch). 

 

Other than that Fire Emblem Heroes or whatever that dynasty warriors game is has me intrigued.

Will do. I've never actually played Fire Emblem. Always heard great things about it.

Congratz I hope you enjoy all consoles they are all wonderfull I have a PS4 and will pick up the Scorpio next and will proberbly pick up a switch when either Pokémon or a new Metroid hit it or else wait untill a new zelda :)

Either way its much better to just have all consoles and be able to play everything!

You are so right. Feels like kingship owning all three. Anything less in the console kingdom is petty.
