Is anyone else goner return to the Nintendo family, with the switch?

Hey Guys,

I entered gaming back in the day with the original Nes, Super Nes, N64 and GameCube (while having all the games boys (yes ALL XD)), but when the wii came out i felt that Nintendo had left its focus of the core gamer (like me :)) for the casual gamer market (nothing wrong with causal gamers, its just not for me) and enter the Sony PlayStation family (from ps2-ps3, might be getting ps4 pro soon). But with the upcoming switch, it got me thinking if it might be worth returning, so wanted to ask with the up coming Nintendo switch, is anyone thinking of returning to Nintendo?

this is the nintendo forum...

everyone here has been with nintendo every gen.

try asking this question in system wars.

make it a poll.

I never really left I was just not in the best in financial condition for a while but I will be picking up a switch

I've been with Nintendo for my entire life since the NES and I'm pretty sure that I always will be. Sometimes they make business decisions that frustrate me, but then they will release an incredibly fun game that reminds me of why I love them and will always buy their consoles and be in the Nintendo family.

If anything, the Nintendo Switch has been making people LEAVE the family.

I've jumped around all over the place, but since about 2010 I have owned my second DS lite, a launch 3DS, a 3DS XL, and two times now a New 3DS XL. I never owned a Wii-U, though for a brief period of time I was debating it. It is the handhelds that have kept me a Nintendo fan, and they remain my favorite game systems overall.

Switch is probably going to be my favorite Nintendo system once its library gets built up. I owned a Gamecube back at its launch, but lost interest in the Wii a short time after getting one back in 2007 - I still think some of the earliest titles on the system were some of its best ones.

I think the 3DS will be around for a while yet, but contrary to Nintendo's comments that the Switch will not be replacing their handheld line.... I'm gonna call bs, since they have used that line several times in the past. The Switch will have decent battery life it seems, and the seeds are already planted for a system that works well at home and on the go. Nintendo will likely not want to spend too much more time developing for multiple gaming systems when they can maximize offerings and profit by catering to a single system. You know it, I know it, Bob Dole know it.

I'd say so... I haven't followed the consoles since SNES, but I've had all their handhelds since Gameboy.

Basically I went PC/SNES - PC/PSX - PC/XBOX - then just PC from 2006 until like now...

It's funny because I was an admin for one of the Nintendo UCB here bc I knew a lot about NDS. In one post I was like "What's a Mii?". I think some people lost their shit. lol

*nods*

I expect many Nintendo fans will be returning due to the inherent awesomeness of the switch.

Well, we'll see. Up until this gen, I've always been PC/Nintendo but I just wasn't feeling Wii U. I'd most likely get Switch though just for Zelda....

I grew up with Nintendo handhelds and have always had one. The Xbox One/PS4 is the first time I have really ever had some home consoles. My son has taking a great liking to video games and I don't like many of the choices on PS4 for him, so we will be going all in with Nontendo and the Switch when it comes out.

Im getting it. But I buy all the new consoles. Im not expecting much.

I have never left Nintendo. My Wii U has probably been my least played Nintendo console of all time, but I still got quite a bit of enjoyment out of it.

Now I am in for day 1 on the Switch. I think Nintendo could have something really great here, if they handle it correctly.

will be my first nintendo console in over a decade since owning the the game cube.
