Saved!The only two Switch games I'm interested in so far are Mario X-Com and Yoshi, while the latter one isn't even out yet.
Splatoon 2 has no offline splitscreen co-op, so it's worthless to me. Mario Odyssey's gameplay is way too bloated and padded (I feel like I'd have way, way less fun with it than I had with Mario 3D World and 3D Land), and while I have bought and played several Zelda games over the years, I haven't enjoyed a single one of them. Weapon degradation has to be one of the worst gameplay mechanics there is.
I've already played Mario Kart 8 for 50 hours on Wii U, beat Captain Toad on Wii U; the prospect of a portable Stardew Valley is very alluring to me, but the game is coming out on PS Vita next week, so
After playing Xenoblade X (the OST, story, characters are garbage tier) I don't feel like playing another game in that franchise; I already have several Kirby games and have no urge to play any of them since I consider them to be simply not fun
I loathed Donkey Kong Returns + Tropical Freeze on Wii and Wii U so I'm not buying the game again just for an easy mode.
Arms, Labo, Mario Tennis Aces, Just Dance, Snipperclips and Fire Emblem are 100% unappealing to me.
Lega Ninjago is supposedly a rushed bug ridden glitchfest.
Hyrule Warriors is shit - hated it on Wii U
I loved Lego City Undercover on Wii U and 3DS, beat them both, have no inclination to buy them again.
Already beat Rayman Legends (on of my top 10 games of all time), hated yet still beat Bayonetta 1 and 2, completed LA Noire and Skyrim on Xbox 360 years ago and also have no urge to revisit them.-

Saved!Gries HeEditing … Furthermore, upcoming Switch games including Animal Crossing (already played it for 60h on 3DS, mediocre game imho) and Smash Bros (already played it for 40h on Wii U, also a very mediocre game imho), Pikmin 4 (haven't enjoyed Pikmin 1 & 3 at all) do nothing for me.
-
Saved!Gries HeEditing … Exactly zero games in this list of upcoming Switch releases interest me: www.metacritic.com/browse/games/release-date/coming-soon/switch/date
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Slowly but surely Nintendo are killing themselves. Even the most die hard fans will look at the variety on other consoles and all they have is another fucking Mario game. -
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Animal Crossing... 3DS.... wait... I FORGOT, GUYS, I OWN THAT. Never played. -
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … Sony > Nintendo -
Saved!Splatterhouse 5Editing … Rayman Legends really is that good! I'm actually (generally) sick to death of Mario platformers. I've been playing them since the beginning, and can sleep walk thru most of them, but I would recommend Mario Odyssey. That and the Mario Galaxy games are the only Mario platformers since SMW that I've played with any sense of enthusiasm - I've bought them all more out of habit than anything. -
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Guys, im actually considering getting a switch. God help me. It's mainly just for two games tho, Xenoblade and Zelda. I'm not even sure what I'd do with the system afterwards. But anyway, seeing as I'm done with PSP, I can replace it with something. I thought I wasn't really interested in Switch but now I kinda am. -
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … strange that the system comes with the puppy controller seeing as I have no use for one. It comes with a stand also? I hope the initial setup doesn't require a TV, like the WiiU did.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Rukk, don't do it. Only when people stop buying will Nintendo change their business plan. We all want the old Nintendo back.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … What's old Nintendo compared to this Nintendo? Is there something wrong with the Switch?
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Yes. Why would developers want to make games for underpowered last gen tech? It has no storage, uses game cards, half the memory etc etc etc.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … The whole appeal seems to be that it's portable, not that it can play Assassin's Creed on your TV. It's a real AAA experience on the go--yeah, AAA games moved to portable systems have always been a downgrade (Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, Resistance on PSP and Vita) but people still wanted that portable version, and this time it's a much lesser downgrade. Look at how the Vita runs Borderlands 2, and then look at how the Nvidia Shield TV runs Borderlands 2--the Switch has the very same graphics chip as the Shield TV. Whereas the Vita can only run a severely gimped version of the game, one that the 3DS wouldn't be able to run at all, the Switch would be able to run a basically uncompromised portable version.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … To me though, the Joy-Cons are a huge appeal. I'd never even use the Joy-Con Grip, I'd just keep the Joy-Cons separated as I play. Now that's comfy.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … But all it can play is last gen games on the go. We played them already on PS or XBox.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … The only people who haven't played them are the die hard Nintendo fan boys who, for some reason, limit themselves to their gaming experience.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I've got over 100 hours in Dragon's Dogma, but I'd jump at the chance to play it portably too. It seems like a dream experience to have on the go. Same goes with Skyrim. And current-gen games are on Switch too, like Doom and Wolfenstein 2 (plus the version of Skyrim on Switch is actually the Special Edition)--but you can play them in bed or on a plane!
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Meh, I have an app on my phone that lets me play my UP TO DATE PS4 games in bed with NO compromise. If planes have plugs I guess I could do the same on a plane too. So what's the point in the Nintendo Switch again?
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Streaming a game will never match up to playing a game natively. No compromise? Are you telling me there's no bitrate or latency issues AT ALL? The small screen with UIs that were designed for big screens is also a compromise.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … There are a few tiny compromises, but it's better than paying top dollar for a game you already bought for top dollar 5 years or more ago.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … YOU FUCKING CAPITALIZED "NO" YOU FUCKING LIED TO ME
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … It depends on your screen. I said my phone, but if you use a decent sized tablet there are NO issues. Come on guys, the Switch is just an outdated gimmick that isn't even relevant. Stop being fanboys and support companies who are progressing the industry.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … lmao paying top dollar for vidya, I don't think I've ever spent more than $20 on any of my PS3 games, and my only other console games that were above that were my day-one Pokemon purchases. New game prices always plummet quick on ebay, and used games even lower wew. All my multiplats are on PC, but on PC my average price per game is around, wait for it, $1, according to autistic levels of spendage tracking. I can jew myself those Switch games too ;3 ;3 ;3
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … You capitalized NO again but LATENCY AND BITRATE
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Try telling your kids they can't have the latest game until it's a dollar.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I hate children so I shall never face that predicament.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … It's a tough predicament for sure. Buying a 6 year old game for full price when it's £2 on the original is hard.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I addressed earlier than I never pay full price, sealed game prices plummet to $20 really quick. By that time any essential patches will be out, too. And if I don't buy the game sealed, I get it even cheaper!
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … and if I'm buying a game on Switch specifically for the portability, such as Skyrim or Dragon's Dogma, then the price of the non-portable version is irrelevant, because it doesn't offer the feature of sweet native p o r t a b i l i t y
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … "I addressed earlier than I never pay full price" "day-one Pokemon purchases" Make your mind up pal.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … PS4 has p o r t a b i l i t y too :D
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … okay there's an exception with Pokemon
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I specified native portability, the portability that isn't limited by zones of connectivity and doesn't have problems with bitrate and latency. For PS4 remote play to have minimal latency (while still having decent latency) you would only be able to play at home. Not very portable there.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Why only at home? Does Bluetooth not work outside? Is home wifi faster than mobile network? I'm getting 10x the speed on my phone compared to my home network.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … oh hey that's pretty neat I guess. Typically I would expect the home network to be faster, yes. A lot faster. If that's the case, why not ditch home wifi and just set up a portable hotspot with your data?
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Having both systems on the same network plays a huge role in reducing that latency, though.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Because the amount of data we use is more than most. We have smart TVs in every room and only really watch Netflix, I currently have 4 consoles plugged into it plus my PC, there's our phones too.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Ah! The Switch doesn't have Netflix. Fatal flaw. Even the Vita has it.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Even the 3DS has it...
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … See, it's terrible!
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … What if it had Dragon's Dogma
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … It'd still be shit because that game has been out for 6 years.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … But not PORTABLY which would be SICK just like that sick game
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Although the GPD WIN and PGS might actually be able to run it at a high framerate, and that would also mean you could use mods.

-
Saved!NodleyEditing … But he's right. Nintendo had 2 good consoles in the 80s and 90s, and that's it. Maybe it's time to stop expecting

Saved!Husky WingEditing … I appreciate Ruk's ability to laugh at himself though
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I never know if he's serious or trolling
-
Saved!Splatterhouse 5Editing … I haven't relied on a Nintendo system as a primary console since the Sega Genesis was released. Although I recognize the SNES as a great system with a great library, I've simply always seen Nintendo systems as "the other system" that I usually buy near the end of a gen to play the 5-15 games that caught my interest. On that basis, I've always been fine with Nintendo. I usually have fun playing Nintendo systems, it's just that it doesn't happen terribly often. For almost 30 years, the other systems have been too good at generally drawing my attention away from Nintendo...and then it always dawns on me that I haven't played a Zelda game in a while.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Unfortunately, I have a rule now that I won't buy a system unless there's at least 20 games I'd buy on it, and Nintendo's home consoles never quite reached that 20. But hey, they do better for me than Xbox. Sony reaches that 20 right quick though.
-
Saved!Splatterhouse 5Editing … Nintendo never seems to reach that number (20) for me either. I tend to pick a primary system (usually PS) each gen, and then buy all of the 3rd party multiplats on that system. I then pick up the competing platforms further down the line (usually used & on the cheap), but then I'm only looking at console exclusives, because I've already got the multiplats covered...and THAT number usually sits somewhere between 5 and 15.
-
Saved!Splatterhouse 5Editing … If I own a Switch now, it's because my daughters fell in love with Splatoon on the WiiU, and Splatoon 2 came out like 5 months after the Switch released, which actually makes it the earliest I've ever owned a Nintendo system. It's a nice system, but I struggle to find software that I'd personally want to spend meaningful time with. Most of what's good I already bought on the cheap for the WiiU, the 3rd party multiplats are already covered (with trophy/achievement support to boot), and what's left is thin. It's a reminder of why I always pick up Nintendo systems late in the game. However, I do think that Mario Odyssey is very worthwhile if you already own the system.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … See, Sony's reaching my minimum with non-PC games only. That's a fuckin talent right there.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … And that's why Sony is killing this gen.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … They did it for me last gen too. Talented.
