It does look cool but what I find with Nintendo is they're really fun for a little bit, but the games run out of playability and boring pretty quickly. On the advertisement I saw they were sharing around the room. I can see that getting old fairly quickly.
The strong points of this gaming device doesn't appeal to me. Neither does the far majority of the games released on it.
It doesn't seem worth $280 but I like mario kart; pretty much any Mario game really. Zelda is cool sometimes, but I seem to remember having trouble (or at least trouble getting into) "Majora's Mask". That's probably half because I didn't have a reliable internet connection to look up cheats! lol Anyway, I've purchased Nintendo consoles before, played them, and then sold or traded them back. Switch looks like a good candidate for that sort of thing, but I'd wait until it's less expensive to do something like that. You should get an old N64! That's what I did. It scratched the itch, but when I went to return it, omg... The roaches from that apartment I was living in had congregated on the inside of the console! The place I bought it from wouldn't let me trade it. They thought I did that on purpose or something. I think they were afraid that the cockroaches had lain (lain? layed? idk) eggs and that they would hatch in the store or possibly at the next person's house who bought it. I half suspect that there were cockroaches already in the console when I bought it... Anyway. Yeah, N64 is so retro and cheesy but it's good fun. Another thing you could think about doing retro is a NES. I think they might sell them new with a whole bunch of games pre-loaded on a chip inside the console. But if you really want a Switch... go ahead. It's your money. $279.99 just seems a little steep to me. Too rich for my blood...
Zelda is open-world and pretty much the opposite of linear. You can fight Gannon even early on if you want to. I don't like it because it has a huge world, with not much variation in gameplay. 900 or so Koroks that you can find throughout the overworld, and a bunch of small puzzle dungeons scattered throughout it. It has only four real dungeons, like with bosses. All weapons break when you use them. Mario Odyssey has a lot of moons, many of which you get for doing almost nothing. So there's no real sense of satisfaction, just getting one moon after another.
No Gamecube? Those two generations, with PS1/N64/DC, and PS2/GC/XB, are my favorite. I think that gaming went downhill from there.
Can't be unread. Now every time I hear "Nintendo Switch", I'm going to picture Reggie in black leather outfits.
It's a friggin' tablet that costs WAY more than it's worth! There's maybe one or two games that I'd be interested in playing and that sure ain't enough to make me buy it. The thing is, Nintendo is missing out on a HUGE opportunity to sell more switch games... Not every Nintendo fan, Mario fan, or casual player is interested in the tablet portable mode. Nintendo could EASILY make a small simple AND CHEAP TV console, just for people who only want a living-room TV set only Mario Odyssey experience. Just a TV console switch, with no screen or battery, click on joy con crap, or docking unit junk, should cost a fraction of what the current system costs. Bundle it with Mario and a cheap wired Pro Controller and bitches will be lined up like lemmings outside Walmart to grab one. I fucking guarantee it!
