I'll eventually buy it because by then we'll have more games on the pipeline. You can look at it all you want, but we don't have ALL of the information about the games. And launch isn't exactly the more lucrative in terms of high-profile games for consoles in general. The DS didn't set the world on fire initially and look where it is now. Granted, I'm not saying its gonna be the next DS or anything, but let the Switch sell and find its audience. We got so excited for the PS4 when it had basically the CoD games, EA games, indies, Killzone, Knack, and a port of GTA V (which is basically GTA V but you can go in first person now) on launch, from what I remember. Its just the end of the presentation and we'll have the Treehouse and other livestreams that will show more gameplay of these games and hopefully more.

No, its not acceptable this lazy Switch line up.

Its totally insane, i knew it would be a poor Line up but I didnt imagine that it would only have WiiU/PS4 games, thé only exclusives are mini games .

Thar sucks as hell. Worst Line up since decades.


On thé other hand ,i love Mario 3D announcement, that is exactly what i wanted as people who read me know, à réal Mario 3D like 64/Sunshine, i was asking for it since Galawy that i didnt like at all.
So in that regard im very happy, also for Xenoblade 2 that i likes very much.

But Mario only come at thé end of thé year so there is no point to buy à console to play ports until then.

Thé clever move here is to wait, observé thé sales of thé console, wait for it to have some exclusives, and ar Christmas there will be à lot of good deals so people who have waited will be more rewarded that people who bought it day one

Nope. if you like Zelda, obvious day 1. If you don't, probably best to hang tight until summer/holiday.

I will wait to see if it flops, for the price drop and bundle game this holiday.

I have mixed feelings.

I will likely buy it at launch, since I generally do this with almost all consoles.

That being said if my friends weren't getting it Day 1, I most definitely would be waiting until holiday 2017 if not longer.

The $299 price drop isn't bad, and I can effortlessly pay for it, but I have a serious problem with price : performance (comes from building PCs), and I just don't see a good ratio here. If the Switch is using Tegra X1 like rumored it should have been $199, and if using Tegra X2 / P1, then it should have been $249 both with 1 2 Switch packed in.

The software looks good from a first party perspective. Zelda, Mario, Splatton 2, and Xenoblade looks great and they're trying more New IPs. And Japanese support seems there as well will several Dragon Quest games, Square, Sega, Namco Bandi, and more on board. But they missed the ball BIG time with best of Wii U ports, western developer presence, and FULL Virtual Console support from NES - Wii (since the Joycons have motion control) and GB - 3DS.

Charging for online is another big concern. I already pay for PS+, XBL, and now Nintendo as well. The problem is Nintendo hasn't proven their online is worth paying for. They need a Nintendo version of PS+ / Games 4 Gold ASAP, they need achievements ASAP, they need to lose friend codes for gamertags, and they need to unify gamer accounts so your account and your purchases come with you across platforms.

I see the potential, but I don't think it's there Day 1 and not for $299 for most consumers. If you have the money to spend and love Zelda it's a Day 1.

But I don't see Switch appealing to casual / child gamer at a $299 price point (when a $99 tablet or their smartphone is good enough for them), I don't see it appealing to core gamers who can buy a PS4/XBO for that price or less if they have a price drop in 2017 which is EXTREMELY likely, and I don't see the western support being there from developers to help make up the 50% loss of marketshare in NA / EU that the 3DS suffered.

This will definitely be an interesting Year 1 for them.

Nah. $400 in Canada, and while I got a ton of gift cards for Christmas for it, it's still too much. I think I'll just get Zelda for Wii U and wait

Just Preordered mine on Walmart for 299.97 with free shipping pass!

Not at launch, no. But i'm eventually gonna have to get one for Xeno 2 and Fire emblem warriors. QQ

Day one if Amazon permits it.

YES!
Zelda is all I need!
