It only seems underwhelming because the concept of the thing leaked forever ago, so it's no longer a surprise.

I might buy the Switch Day 1 or I might wait. It depends really on one factor: Does it launch with Pikmin 4?

Kirby Superscare! posted:Why not? I really want to enjoy the Nintendo switch! If there's problems with the launch console you'll pretty much be SOL and at the very least if you wait just a few months you'll get a version with most of the problems ironed out and a few of the best launch games for free.

CJacobs posted:Hundreds-of-dollars impulse buys are a bad idea in all cases. Even a video game console. Day 1 != impulse buy when the console is advertised long in advance of being released. You have plenty of time to think about if you can afford it or not before release day.

Fair enough, but that just implies that you have a long time to contemplate whether or not to potentially pay more money than you need to, instead of a short time

If you want a Switch to be $50 you're going to be waiting until the next console generation and when people are hocking used ones. If you wanna play games when they're new you're not paying more money than you need to. Whether you want that or not is up to you I guess, but for lots of people with disposable income its perfectly sensible.

When it comes to new consoles, I really disagree, because you've got no idea what the library is going to look like outside of what you saw in the previews. We got that big list of developers but that doesn't guarantee they're gonna make games for the thing that you'll want to play.

oddium posted:i really hope the pro controller is included but it's probably not Based on how I saw the little "base" for the controllers to attach to being described as an accessory, that thing probably won't come with it either

I might buy one day one if they actually have launch games that I'm interested in especially if one of those launch games is the inevitable Spla2n Man I wish I'd jumped into Splatoon at its launch

I'm struggling to think of a single console outside of jokes like Game.com and OUYA that doesn't have at least one good game Knowing Nintendo they'll have something worth playing. Most Wii launch games were awful, but then there was Zelda.

I get what you're saying, but I think the counter-argument there would be that getting a $300 console for one game might be a bit much. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't - Everyone can spend their money how they choose. I can just understand if someone's already hesitant to jump in, a response of "Well, greater than or equal to [ONE] game won't suck" isn't going to change many minds.

i think the switch looks cool and i hope it leads to putting all nintendo games on one console instead of the two or more console system they've been doing for a while that hardware could probably do wonders with a new SMT or pokemon game tbh im gonna buy it day one and enjoy it

The Switch seems like the kind of thing where you might want to wait a bit before buying one just for some initial volume production issues to be worked out. Not like waiting for the new 3ds or ps4k or whatever, but just to make sure there aren't like red rings or structural issues. That being said, if the launch lineup looks good I may well ignore what I just typed.

Imagine that you're playing it in mobile configuration, and the tablet just falls out from between the two controller halves. It seems really unlikely, for a lot of reasons, but it's a great mental image.
