So it's £280 with paid online for what is very much 'last-gen' tech (at best), and no bundled in game by all accounts, I do not predict great things. Apparently you get a SNES or NES game every month with the online service (whatever that may cost), although it seems slightly ambiguous as to if the game is only available for that month and then disappears. Battery life when used as a portable quoted as '2.5 to 6.5' hours..... Not many actual games to look at either. |

I had some money from my folks and did a foreigner for one of the businesses I work with the other day so that's this paid for. It's almost like I'm getting it for free! In my mind, I feel like I missed out on the Wii U and I absolutely love my 3DS so I'm not scared to jump on the Nintendo bandwagon again. This will be great, I'm sure of it. |

Yeah, I just saw this. Most of those items aren't a necessity though but I would like one of the pro controllers... I think... Actually, I can see me using this as a mobile platform more than anything so now I think about it, I'm not sure I'll need one. |

| Author: | myp [ Fri Jan 13, 2017 10:52 ] |

Yeah, you wouldn't need a spare dock in most use cases. Pro controller is about the same price as the DS4s were at launch. |

The only Nintendo game I'm super-keen on not missing is the new Zelda, which by all accounts is still coming to the Wii-U. As such I'm more than happy to do a wait and see with the Switch. (I did a wait and see with the Wii-U as well, eventually jumping in with the Mario Kart bundle.) The mobile aspect of the Switch isn't really of interest, my phone caters for me perfectly well most of the time (Hearthstone!) and for more serious requirements (like the trip away for my brother's birthday last year) I've got my Shield tablet. (Mostly more Hearthstone, but other stuff as well.) Nintendo are going to have to do an absolute blinder with the Switch's games for it to get any traction IMO, I'm not sure more Mario Kart games for £40-£50 a pop are going to cut it. |

GJ and I were in Gamestation for the Wii's midnight launch and they didn't have a lot of the promised launch titles in stock so I ended up buying games I didn't particularly want (the Monster Truck game springs to mind) just to have something to play. Not sure I'll be getting a Switch. I've no need for another mobile gaming platform, so I can see me getting a PS4 instead at some point. Grim... wrote: I'd love Mario Kart again.

It would have been nice if there was a Fire Emblem game for it, especially as I think the controller would work well with it, but I doubt there's one planned. |

CEX can hook me up with a pre-owned Wii-U and Mario Kart for ~ £200. I think it'll drop way more when the Switch is released, though. |

But it'll be the only place to play Nintendo games and that carries a lot of weight, especially in Japan. I can't see it being a disaster. Sure, it may not be as popular as the PS4 or Xbox one but I won't be writing off Nintendo any time soon. |

I wasn't fussed but since Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is coming to Switch, I'm psyched for it. And the new Mario platformer looks alright. But mostly Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I don't know why they haven't continued Xenoblade Chronicles X storyline though - that was the tits and was left on a great cliffhanger. Monolithsoft really are the hidden jewel in Ninty's crown (they helped with the new Zelda too fact fans). |
