I believe this thread is quite simple. Name features/games that will make you go out and buy a Switch. Doesn't have to be must-have. Can be things you'd simply appreciate to see.

 

Personal example:

-Nintendo games such as mario, pokemon, zelda, animal crossing, metroid, etc

-New IP's

-Better 3rd party support

-$250-$299 price launch

-4+ hour battery life

I will buy the Switch if it has Nintendo exclusives. If not, forget it!

What would make me buy it?

+If it's in a shop near me

What might make me not get it....

-Razorblades hidden in the hand grips
-Battery just as explosive as Samsungs latest
-They revise the unit to run all games from UMD disk during the Jan feature reveal.
-It takes 6 AA batteries and lasts for 30mins



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

The Switch will be the first Nintendo console that I'll buy Day 1. I'm so excited for it based on Zelda alone. I also am really excited about that new 3D Mario. The idea of taking your games everywhere you go seamlessly is just so mind blowing for me.

Of course Switch needs games but due to its nature of being a handheld and a console, Switch will get more than its fair share of games based off their handheld support alone. I mean if Square, Level 5, Capcom, Konami, Nintendo, Sega are on board, I'm already sold.

110% 5+ hour battery as well as a good lineup of gamez

(Nintendo frantically runs to the store to buy razorblades, explosive batteries, and UMD disks)

If the price is no more than $300, has a good lineup, and has a decent battery, I'll be there day 1

It gets a Zelda game.

I could make a list of everything it needs...but if the Wii U was able to satisfy me....I can't imagine the Switch will ever be a problem. It'll be a Day 1 if it gets a Zelda bundle, Year 1 if it doesn't.

I will buy the Switch when it has an appealing game library, besides just the usual Nintendo exclusives.

My decision is not set in stone yet ...

Not really comfortable with the rumored price, if it can manage to get the same or higher quality of software support as the 3DS did then I'll think about it. If not then I'll just forget about it ...
