It'd be like going into Blockbusters back in the day. My question was answered, I dunno why you're all getting so up in arms about this. Like why? It doesn't even affect you lot. Loan it out to friends so they can play Zelda and then get it back when they're done. Although you seem pretty resistant to buying Snipperclips, so maybe you don't have any friends.

Who had the dumb idea at Nintendo HQ to make this a thing? 2017 and not being able to backup saves is just downright disgusting. it's not disgusting. i have my saves on my sd card, check the thread from a few weeks ago. they are on there because my switch knows its awesome and im awesome enough to not sell it and buy more games for it.

Actually you continue fighting the Octarians, culminating in a final battle where you splat Callie while a piano version of "Bomb Rush Blush" plays.

What's confusing is he seems like he wants to buy another Switch later in the year when other games and the Zelda dlc are out. I don't care what he does but I don't really understand what he's saying, his argument is basically he knows he's going to lose money but he just wants the satisfaction of knowing his Switch won't be losing value on his shelf? I don't get it. Functionally he'd be better off sticking it in a closet for 6 months and pretending he'd sold it. This is why people are confused. If he doesn't want to buy another one disregard but then his actual question doesn't make sense.

Empress Brosephine posted:How is it a bad idea to sell a console if he's had his fun with it and unsure of any future games? I did exactly this with the original Wii. I bought it for Zelda, played it, nothing else was out so I sold it while it was still hard to find. When another game came out that I really wanted, I just bought it again (and then traded it for an xbox 360 when there was nothing else I wanted to play on it again).  I thought about doing this with the switch but I don't really need the money (before with the Wii I was in college and could afford it, but money was a bit more precious then vs. now). I think long term it'll be a good system to have for on the go stuff. Just sucks that it's going to sit for a few months now after beating zelda.

I'm waiting for Amazon to get some consoles in since I have a small fortune in reward points. In the meantime I'm stocking up on accessories and crap so I can hit the ground running once I get one. I've got the screen protector and a microSD, and I'm going to sit on any additional controllers until I've used the thing for a while. Now that it's been out for a bit, have you guys found that you like any particular cases or travel chargers or anything? I'm probably going to lug this fucker to work every day and may as well be ready for that too.

I didn't think I'd be able to snag one for months so I was holding out on picking up accessories, but I managed to get lucky on Amazon the other day. Checked out Gamestop to see what they had after that and they literally only had lan adapters. I'm interested in finding the best slimmest case possible to fit in my laptop bag which barely has any room in it, but these seem to be about as rare as the consoles themselves. Has anyone had luck finding cases in stores anywhere?

Really, he can do whatever he wants with the system. Generally, the lot of us are saying that, if he intends to return to the console at a later date, it is in his best interests to hang on to his Switch, for matters of convenience and overall cost efficiency. If he decides not to do this, he will probably receive some levels of criticism, but he is an adult who can make his own decisions. We will all get over it, and the decision made will be in his best interests. However, if any sort of "Well, I wish I hadn't done this" happens following his own Switch sale occurs, it will not be unreasonable for the majority of the thread to make fun of him for not taking the original advice.

If you really want to be cost efficient and only care about Zelda then a Wii U would probably be a better investment. You can also play the excellent Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD versions as well. EDIT: I wish those would come to Switch. I'm the worst Nintendo fan. I'd buy literally every Wii U port.

But he would? They're still selling well over MSRP on eBay. I don't think he'd ever lose money on it right now, but he just doesn't want it lingering around. I'd keep it especially if I was waiting on the Zelda DLC but I see it as reasonable to not want stuff hanging around without a use, and this is coming from someone who has a bunch of that. sigher fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Mar 26, 2017 |

Just to lay this whole issue to rest: I could straight up put the Switch up for sale on Amazon right now for 279.99GBP. I would be getting 95% of the cost back, cause Amazon takes 10 or 15GBP as their cut. I am more than happy with losing that tiny amount of money for a solid 3 weeks of use (it'd sorta be like me having rented the console for 3 weeks!). My reasoning behind selling it now is 1) I get a lump of money back I can use for whatever (even though I'm not in dire need of money) 2) I literally won't touch it for a long time cause I've exhausted Zelda and there are no games coming out in the foreseeable future that I want 3) There's literally no stock anywhere, my console is in great shape, it'd be nice to throw it out there at retail price to save some poor fucker succumbing to the horrid prices some people are selling the console for (people are putting brand new and used - like new consoles up for 350GBP). All you lot talking about me losing money when I buy it again in the future, I don't mind if it's out of stock come the time I want to buy a Switch again. Only game I'd sorta be hype for is Mario Odyssey and Pikmin (if they release one), but not to the point where I'd die a little inside having to wait. I'm a huge Zelda fan so I wanted to get it on launch along with the Switch to try it out, but my intention from the get-go was to sell it on once I'd finished and had my fill of the game. Snipperclips is a good shout, but tbh me and all my friends in uni are hella swamped with assignments right now cause semester 2 is a nightmare. So I dunno why you all seem to think I'd be losing heaps of cash selling it now when I really wouldn't be. And if 8 months down the line when I wanna pick a Switch up again but it's sold out, I really won't mind waiting since I got to try it out now, and I'm not anywhere near as hype for a game as I was for BotW. I could leave my console collecting dust but I am 100% certain I won't touch it again for ages. My life nowadays isn't spent binging video games, I mainly just watch TV cause I'm always too tired from work to play games, so I'd rather have that cash in my pocket now to spend on other stuff if I want. Takoluka posted:you can be charitable and make bad decisions at the same time; they're not mutually exclusive This is dumb. Main difference between a Switch and a car is I actually need my car for everyday use. I can live without a Switch. I've had my fill of it, I got all the hype out of my system, I really like the console and I know if I wanna pick it up later down the line, waiting until it's in stock won't kill me.

Meaning I'd have a net loss of 20 quid, which - again - for 3 weeks use really isn't that big a deal. Qubee fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Mar 26, 2017 |
