Am I the only one who wants to get a Nintendo Switch?

[Loriii]

I'll probably get it within the first week or month of launch. "Probably" because they haven't given a specific release date yet apart from March and also, I need to know the price. Right now, it's only a matter of when.

 

[QueenOpossum]

Im excited, but its gonna depend on launch titles and price. The WiiU was and is overpriced for what it is. I don't play Zelda games or main series Mario, so I want Animal Crossing, Mario Kart (which is a practically for sure), and a game like Pokemon Colosseum.

They also need to lower the prices on their games quicker. Its ridiculous how they keep the prices so freakin high.

Edit:

TL;DR I'll buy if its $250 or cheaper, and has AC and a few other games I want.

 

[vel]

not hyped about consoles anymore honestly, but i would get it maybe :/

 

[Mars Adept]

I might get it, but only if it's at a decent price, and has a good lineup of games near launch date. I personally wasn't excited after the reveal trailer.

 

[Eline]

I'M SUPER EXCITED TO GET IT. ACTUALLY I'VE ALREADY PRE-ORDERED THE THING YES YES

I CANNOT WAIT

It does look cool, but based on the trailer I do have one question about it which would strongly influence my decision: Can the Nintendo Switch play Wii U games?

Nintendo Switch is confirmed to be unable to play Wii and Wii U discs, as the hardware obviously lacks the disc drive.
Although I'm not fully certain about every retail and eShop exclusive Wii U game being playable on Switch, the latter is confirmed to only output not two, but one screen at any given time. That omission would compromise some of the Wii U games that isn't only using it for Off-TV Play. Unless they tweak the Switch to support any Wii U GamePad, the Wii U compatibility might not be fully implemented in the final product.

Thankfully, some the most popular Wii U games are either being ported or see their successors coming to Switch down the line. Splatoon and Mario Kart are certainly coming to Switch, as seen in the reveal trailer.

While the trailer showed 2 Wii U games on Switch, it just makes me wonder if any other Wii U games can be played using Switch in the same way. If the games aren't played by using discs, there must be some other way the Wii U games are working.

I'm only getting it because it's Nintendo. I personally think it was a mistake to incorporate so many portable features for a console. I do like the fact they're still caring about people having fun with their friends locally. That's a big plus for me considering so many companies have forgotten about that important aspect of gaming and have cut down splitscreen features for games dramatically. I do think they did a better job introducing the system this time around, but it still seems it might not be straightforward enough for certain consumers. I hope they completely ditch their mistake of using something like the Wii U as the forced controller for player 1 in a lot of games. I never liked that.

 

[Envy]

Not hyped for it at this point. Games are the thing that matters, and nothing has been shown that has blown me away in the least.

That's fine, as I won't have money to get one, even if I wanted it. lol

 

[Kitty2201]

I'll probably get it for the new Splatoon and Mario Kart. I think I'd only use it at home though

 

[HopeForHyrule]

I'm intrigued by it it, and I'm a Nintendo fangirl, so I'll get it...most likely at launch.

Now. If the Beyond Good and Evil 2 rumors end being true and I not only SEE this game become a reality, but ALSO be a Nintendo exclusive, then OMFG, there will be no slowing down this hype train.

 

[MishMeesh]

I probably won't be getting it until at the earliest, 2018. The new zelda game is still getting released on the Wii U, and I'm still having a good a time with the Wii U and the 3DS. Just got a PS4 recently so that's my "new console" money gone for a while, and I don't regret it. I'm not interested in getting the Switch until I know it has a game library that I want to play.

 

[GuerreraD]

I don't think so. There must be a lot of people out there already dying to get it as soon as they can, but certainly not me. I didn't vote for the "trash" option because I don't believe is trash in any way, but... I'm simply not interested anymore in getting along with the times This granny bought the 3DS (old) as her last one, since there aren't either more games I want to play.

Then no, most likely you are not the only one wanting to get the future Switch

 

[TykiButterfree]

I don't know. It looks really weird to me. Why would you want to take the buttons off of the sides and play on a tiny controller that barely fits in your hand?

 

[oath2order]

Where are you seeing this criticism? I've seen nothing but praise.

 

[Samansu]

I am on the fence honestly. Backwards compatibility is really important to me and it doesn't look like it is. I am hoping they will convert more games to digital format for download for the Switch but who knows! :C

 

[himeki]

i think im gonna get it! it looks like a good new console, instead of the wiiu with seemed like a letdown ;; the nx seems like a good system overall, and since im loyal to nintendo i think ill get it!

 

[AquaStrudel]

I definitely get it at some point but I'm not excited for it atm.

 

[miwaku]

personally i think people just like to hate. i think its a great idea and i cant complain about a new product. wish i could get one
