Exactly. Let's face it, the Switch is sounding like a Nintendo fan's dream come true at this point. And the Wii U was pretty much only owned by core Nintendo fans. So the way I see it 95%+ of the Wii U base is going to get a Switch because again how can you not as a Nintendo fan? It's just looking too good to pass up. So if it gets cancelled for Wii U I really don't care at this point. I won't be playing it on that system. 

Well, I guess I'm part of that >5%, because I own a Wii U but I currently have no plans to get a Switch.

But of course, I'm not a Nintendo fan, I just play their games.

I'm not saying you're not a Nintendo fan if you don't want the Switch, I'm just saying I can't imagine why a Nintendo fan wouldn't want the Switch if all we've heard is true. It sounds afforadble, the concept of having both the handheld and home console together is fantastic, and there already sounds like there will be a plethora of worthwhile games out of the gate. Basically not wanting a Switch is just plain not wanting to play Nintendo games anymore, since this is their one and only platform going forward and it's not outrageously unaffordable.

I have to admit. I'm kind of over Wii U's crappy life span and all this Switch hype is getting to me. If its come to Wii U - great, can wait for Switch to be cheaper but will buy the Switch version too so I can play on the go. If it doesnt come to Wii U, whatever. Gonna buy the switch sooner or later anyway.

The only game I am interested so far is Skyrim. And Zelda will be a priority for Wii U. A bunch of ports of the Wii U is far from a Nintendo fan's dream.

My reason to not looking forward the Switch is quite simple: it's handheld inspired and I want comfort.

You see, with the former Nintendo Game Boy handhelds everything was fine, but when the DS came, Nintendo went from 2 to 4 face buttons. That shouldn't have been a problem, but somehow they decided that there was not enough room to keep the buttons of the same size as before, so they made them smaller. Why they did that? I don't know, but the end result are buttons that, for my taste, are too small and that I feel uncomfortable after even a very short amount of time. Remember, it's my opinion and how I feel.

And that brings me to the Switch and the reveal trailer, showing the device, the joy-cons and... the handheld sized buttons of those controllers. What a let down.

Sure, you can argue that there's the Pro controller, but that controller won't be bundled with the Switch console (just like the Classic didn't come with the Wii and the former Pro controller wasn't bundled with the Wii U), which means that I would have to buy it separatedly, and that's something I'm not going to do because that's a clear design flaw and I shouldn't have to buy an aditional controller just to be able to play with that machine.

I know that I'm a rare case, an extremely small minority, maybe even the only one, but that's how things are and no matter how great can the Switch be or how many great games it can have. I play games to have fun, and if the controller is uncomfortable to use, I won't be able to enjoy the games and have fun, therefore purchasing it doesn't make sense.

GC TP still came out and didn't affect Wii sales. Theres no reason to do that. Only negatives. So, i doubt they would go that low in scumbaggery.

It would be a move that would move me away from them for more than a generation. I expect them to be better than that.

This is the main reason for me not engage into Sony consoles - dualshock is extremely small. Maybe it's fits with child hands (or equally japanese hands), but not for me. Wii U pad is just perfect in terms of weight and buttons' placement.

Playing MH4 on the regular 3ds was pain in the ass experience too.

They released Devil's Third, due to some pressure but they wanted to cancel it. So I doubt they will outright cancel it, but depending on how well the switch sells in that time frame, they may make a limited run or like Fatal Frame just make the game digital only. They have never really canceled a version of a game in my memory after working on it so long. And when they did move it totally to another system they usually give enough notice ahead of time.

I didn't have problems with the Dual Shocks of PS1 to PS3 consoles (haven't tried the PS4 one), but yes, Nintendo's controllers tend to be more comfy.

That said, PSP and Vita are awful. Even the analog sticks is/are too small and uncomfortable!

New rumor: Wii U version coming one week later than the Switch one. Seriously, fuck Nintendo.

Better than the GameCube version of Twilight Princess coming a month after the Wii version came out imo.

Still ok to do that. Even if the difference are just few hours. They promised a simultaneous release and they have to deliver
