Six months of the Nintendo Switch

With this library, I'd be bored to tears as there's only maybe 3 or 4 games I'd care to play for this by years end.

i like a lot of consoles, and that comment makes no sense/is irrelevant when i just said consoles dont need to be innovative to be good

Let them have fun as long as it last. Its the same every generation since N64. " Omg omg look this game Nintendo rocks , everyone else sucks " then after few years their systems collecting dust and they playing way more with the systems supposed either sucked or were laughing about.

Im giving sheep 3 years before they start using the "but its handheld man" excuse and before Switch start getting slowly in life support ( that depends on overall sales though but either way ) Sheep should cross their fingers for next-gen consoles to arrive after 2020 all im saying.

Since then let em have fun , they always ending up crying out loud every gen since N64 ( if not crying , shut it till next system arrives and here we go again )

I'm definitely far happier with my Nintendo Switch six months in than I was with my PS4 and Xbox One combined six months in. I'll go even further and say that I've gotten more enjoyment out of my Nintendo Switch in just six months in than I got out of my PS4 and Xbox One combined in their first two years.

Dont you think that is expected to ?

^ Again comparing the Switch purely to the consoles, when it does both. again missing the simple point... that makes a world of difference.

How many 3DS owners did you see complaining about lack of games?

How many Gamecube 3rd party games were there despite it being the second most powerful device of the time (if I recall? certainly more powerful that the PS2... the winner). As if the power aspect was the only thing holding back the support/need.

I wouldn't imagine the Switch beating the PS4 ever, but I imagine it will be 2nd place by the end. Even if new consoles came in 2020 (I'd be suprised... seems stupid to me) providing the next Switch has full backwards compatibility, they can simply move forward too...

again, don't see why there is an obsession to have a 3rd console doing the exact same thing as the other 2 consoles , we don't need more of that. there is zero point.

You need help...

I got Mario Kart 8 for my birthday yesterday - a beautiful title. Nicely complements BotW. Great way for my wife and I to spend time together

@kjtc1979:"The thread was then flooded with people who don't even have the system, starting the same arguments that they do in every thread, insulting sheep and reigniting the graphics debate and the console/handheld debate, all irrelevant to the original topic, which was diplomatic and respectful."

That's a typical Charziard thread. He/She knows what he/she doing.

Nintendo has had a very good first few months. Not at all lacking options like I was with 3DS or Wii U. A little worried they frontloaded and don't have much for 2018, though.

Switch is so far getting nothing but ports and a few titles here and there (Splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario). It won't get any of the major third party games. It doesn't have a party system or voice chat. It doesn't offer apps like Netflix or Hulu. It has a boring, generic, cheap looking user interface. Everything about it is cheap which is ironic since it has multiple peripherals that are all expensive.

Nope. This was a positive discussion thread for Switch owners that has been swarmed by people who don't have it and don't want it, pushing the same arguments and nasty personal comments.

These same conversations go on in every single Switch thread. Maybe a "Bitch about the Switch" sticky should be created so other conversations can actually go on without this garbage clogging it up.

To answer the original question, I thoroughly enjoy mine. I would have had one sooner but it simply was not available. Until one day, on the off chance, I walked into my local Best Buy and they had ONE in stock. I've been in love with it ever since.

It also just helped me through a long-haul flight. So much fun play BoTW and Mario Kart 35,000 feet in the sky. :P

I know. Thats what i was saying to my friend @jumpaction few days ago when TC was asking about pure amount of games.

Aside the ports Switch has , as of now , it has pretty much only Splatoon 2 as a worth mention as great exclusive. Nothing else. Arms is decent, yes they can like it but still is not something of Zelda or Mario caliber when Mario isnt even out yet. Or they want to talk about games like 1-2 switch etc ?

Its getting there though and better be because it needs to sell as much as possible before next-gen "true" consoles arrive because by then theres a high possibility for Switch to start getting into a soft life support. Nintendo always doing that when sales are not going their way and they see a decline. They even did that with Wii ffs when made record sales both hardware and software wise ! Can you imagine this ? Thats historical first !

If something i know about Nintendo are 2 things.

1) They are one hell of software developer with some undeniable gems under their belt. True legends.

2) They are one hell of BS, greedy , moronic , dont give a crap about their fanbase company that lives in mid 70s mentality wise. They dont care to shut down Youtube channels , streamers , take down videos that reviewing their games , ask for share of money from people that streaming their games, let their systems go into life support way earlier than they should aka dust collectors , keep their products prices ridiculously high for too long and many more shit like that ONLY Nintendo keep doing.

Im not hating on Switch, i want it to do well for once but historically speaking Nintendo doesnt care after a while for their systems if things arent going great. They care ONLY if they have some sort of monopoly or sales going up. The moment they lose momentum and sales start declining .. they let it go just like that. I dont understand this shit.

In the past i debated with many sheep about GC and their response about this subject was its sales. I was like , **** it , it makes sense. Then Wii came and became another dust collector so early with 100+ million user base out !!!!! It was right there i was like ... " **** you Nintendo, you are one greedy shitty company "

They dont give a shit about their fans... And when im talking about it ... those same fans getting angry with me instead !!! ROFL.. Thats some loyalty right there but i can understand that too if you ask me.

Anyways, enough with my rant. Just let em have fun from time to time like they had with Wii U back then because you never know how much will last with Nintendo before they decide to let support go ( amount of great games in short ).

Actually, I thought Xenoblade Chronicles X was shit. Monolith would have to work very hard to make XC2 worse than XCX.

Blog material imo. But the Switch will end up like recent Nintendo consoles. Yes the Nintendo exclusives are really cool but Nintendo will need more than those expected Mario Zelda Nintendo games. Once Odyssey comes out, how long will the wait be for another Mario Zelda game. So enjoy it while you can since once the real big hitters come that won't be available on the Switch, you'll remember how the first 6 months of the Switch were great. Switch is a great secondary home console though.

@AzatiS: Are you sure it's not opinion though?

Mario + Rabbids just came out this month. A Nintendo Switch exclusives and I heard positive things about it. Certainly curious to give it a try as I like turn based strategy games. I have been playing ARMS too and while it's not as deep as something like SF V and certainly not as deep as BlazBlue or KoF, it's still a fun and importantly unique fighting game that calls to my gaming preferences.

It's just a matter of tastes. Yeah, the system has already been out since March and Western AAA 3rd party support is very light but personally that's not really what I am looking for in the Switch as I now have a gaming PC that game achieve a great performance from 3rd party games. What I want out of my Switch are primarily Nintendo games, indie games and the odd sprinkling of something from Japanese developers.

The quantity of games is an issue with the Switch given that it is a new system. Here is hoping the success so far won't give us a repeat of the Wii U. It's encouraging to see more Japanese developers talking about Switch at least. Fingers crossed! :D

How can it be a secondary console when millions of gamers prefer Nintendo exclusives over all other first party and 3rd party games?

What im talking about , its not about opinions. Its about things that happened in the past over and over . Things being said , things Nintendo did and keep doing etc and what and why i think certain things will might backfire in the future ( including taking Switch as traditional console ). I hope im wrong but i wasnt with Wii nor Wii U. Lets see if i get 3/3

I like Mario , i like Zelda myself. Was fan of Gamecube as well. That doesnt mean ill let Nintendo bs and sheep bs get through and pretend that everything about Nintendo is perfect or if Switch end up another dust collector after 3 years will be alright just because i had the opportunity to play few great games.

Sorry but it doesnt work like this. This isnt about opinions or taste. Nintendo releasing some great games every single generation is a given at this point. Every singe generation there are gems out. But at the same time almost every single generation consoles speaking ... systems ending up dust colllectors.

I wont let such shits pass thru because you or any other sheep on this board getting upset or because Zelda was amazing or Mario Odyssey looks awesome. Sorry.

Ill keep analyzing and predicting something im really good at with logic behind why i say what i say and ill be slapping any company or fanboy doing/talking nonsense for the sake of SW.

Thats all. If some people cant handle they shouldnt engage in the first place.

So you only want a snappy OS without a set of basic features? You can't even message people... You sheeps are so easy to please lol.

No need to mention other consoles here. I can't help you if you don't think that its OS is a barebone.

Plays totally different? What...? USF2 is a port with more options. That's it. You paid a royalty to Nintendo.

Exactly.

I love the Switch. Games wise I have BOTW, I am Setsuna, Sonic Mania and Snipper Clippers. It's a great system and the games so far are great and the library is growing rapidly.

My only gripes are that it should have apps by now such as netflix, youtube and an internet browser. Also Nintendo should add NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube to the eshop. I am sure all of that is coming so I won't complain but it's surprising that those things are taking so long.

@AzatiS: For me personally, the worst thing about the Nintendo Switch right now is the online solution. It is so backward and over a decade behind in terms of functionality and accessibility. It is ridiculous and it hurts online games like ARMS and Splatoon 2. That right now is my main complaint with the system. It would also be nice to have a few things like a web browser and Netflix but I don't know if I'd actually need that stuff. I have multiple devices that do those already so the online situation is way more pressing to me. I don't really get about the web browser though.

Games isn't really an issue for me right now. Consoles in their first year aren't always glowing and early adopters need to exercise patience or else buyer beware. In the case of the Switch though, I've been having quite a bit of fun with the games released so far and future titles this year are looking at a really solid first year for me. I guess for me it's not about what the Switch presents as a singular platform and more how it works along with my computer. Hopefully the momentum of releases continues.

Those million of gamers that prefer those Nintendo exclusives couldn't save the Wii U. On to the next alt.

To me the worst thing is Nintendos mentality when it comes to their consoles. The mentality of " lets push sales as much as possible and when things start going down , well we stop support all together ". Its a bet Nintendo needs to win badly this generation not only because now there arent 2 different platforms to begin with but also to prove to people like me wrong and if they do that , they might see my precious money.

There are alot of people i know thinking the same and we talked about this like numerous times thru the years . Damn , I even know guys that bought Wii U for Zelda alone then Nintendo show them the middle finger as always in order to push Switch. I know plenty of guys , huge fans of Nintendo , called Wii dust collector again and again. I mean we can disagree all day long or think me as hater but things are like that for quite a while now, specifically more than a decade.

I know you dont care as long as you play few mario games and a zelda etc but you SHOULD care about this issue. Or if you dont want to care for whatever reason , brand loyalty , fanboyism you name it at least be honest with yourselfs and how things have been for over a decade now for Nintendo consoles and accept some truth and some facts . Dont take everything someone says as pure hate or trolling. Its not that Nintendo doing everything perfect and you know that. So dont get so upset or irritated with every single anti-Nintendo post. I mean come on

For example do you remember the party you sheep had in 2014 ( dont remember exactly year ) when PS4 didnt have the great games Wii U had and all the teasing and party over Wii U games ? Told you will backfire and it did. And no im not magician or hater. Its how things are when it comes to Nintendo. After a year you guys had nothing to play or even worse than that after a while you had nothing to wait for !! I should let that pass by because Kart was amazing and Mario great ? NO hell i wont ! You can do that out of loyalty or maybe because you got used to it but i wont. And every other shit Nintendo is doing for the last 20 years when it comes to youtube,streaming,prices, you name it.

So when im getting harsh to Nintendo for all those shits that in the end of the day you , the fans, spending your money , should get harsh with them in the first place , im this im that , blablabla.

I dont mind , in fact i found it funny 99% of the time.So to end this rant. I said it before Switchs release ill keep saying it. Nintendo needs to win a bet here and that bet is to keep providing worth playing titles and amazing games for the WHOLE generation with Switch. They have the talent , they have the money , momentum is with them as we speak, people seems to like the system. Lets see then.

I dont want to see a great year or two .. then some decline .. then after a while ... great first parties games becoming a rare thing, best franchises not even in radar ... then DUST all over the place after only 3 years in the market. And its heading this way and i told you why i think so already despite your epic hate towards me for saying so.. Lets hope next-gen consoles to be late all im saying OR Nintendo to change their approach and whatever happens keep supporting till the very end like other companies do.

@kjtc1979: "Bitch about the Switch"

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Anyway, it has been proven that charziard likes the attention.

And Switch isn't special. I see users invade threads about consoles/games they don't have either.

@AzatiS: I think you might be generalizing people and groups of people a bit much there. I wasn't even on this forum in 2014, and many great games launched in 2014 so I was just enjoying those... I don't really buy into the fanboy trends no matter how much you project them onto me. I still intend to get a PS4 and I think the system is excellent. Try viewing gaming outside of fanboy stuff.

Like I said before, I would prefer if the Nintendo Switch was similar to the 3DS in terms of support. I want games that aren't on PC. It would be disingenuous for me to say that I need the next Battlefield on Switch because I'll be playing it on PC. Instead, I'm looking forward to playing Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei on Switch. Not Battlefield or Overwatch. Those are best on my PC.

By the end of this year though, there will be quite a handsome list of Switch exclusives and I'd say for those interested in trying them, the Switch is a good system to own. It depends on whether you're interested in titles like ARMS, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2 and Mario + Rabbids, and of course, whether you owned a Wii U. If you don't own a Wii U then it becomes an even more valuable system to consider.

6 months already? Still only got one game. It's not that I'm not interested in more games on the Switch (Mario & Rabbids, Mario Kart again I guess) but whenever I decide to buy a game I'd rather get something on my other systems. Really looking forward to try Stardew Valley though. It's not on the Vita and I don't want it on a big screen so the Switch is basically the only possibility left.

Not sure if this is a joke question or if you're really so stupid to think that. Actually I'm not even sure if you know what an OS is.

Well you are a sheep in heart. Maybe not a loco one but you are. You defending some things you shouldnt but on the other hand , if you truly beleive what you say its fine ( heres where opinions are different and its what matters ). The "issue" i have is when people talking out of fanboyism or grudges even if you throw them facts in their faces or even worse , when deep inside they know what is truth or not . That isnt going for you , im speaking generally.

As far as Switch go im not sold. Not because system isnt appealing nor because im hater or i dislike Mario or Zelda. In fact its the opposite. And thats because i genuinely dislike to buy a system that will end up collecting dust not because im hater or something ... because its mother company decided to let it go mid gen. Just like that ...

Thats why i gave kudos to Sony before. They had such debt that could had tell to people " thats all folks, PS3 is in life support we are billions in debt " and noone could blame them and instead of that they provided AAA experiences few months before PS4 gets a release.

Then you have Nintendo that made ASTRONOMICAL revenue from software alone with Wii , add to that hardware sales that were amazing ... and they let it die like a rat just because ....! Then all the dust collection drama started from sheep themselfs and the rest is history.

How to trust such company again ? Third parties is out of equation, 1st parties is all they have to offer. Will they till the end ? Or because i like few of their games ill bypass those epic BS they doing and i should shut it because i make sheep upset and angry ? No way man. It is what it is. Lets see if Switch can prove all doubters , including me , wrong. Why not !!! I hope so it does and who knows , if Nintendo change i might buy one.

If char remembers, i told him i was interested in NX if it has 1-2-3-4. IT had nothing of what i was asking for and if we add to that the Nintendos inconsistency with their 1st parties after a while .. was a turn off for me. So ill keep renting their systems to play the few games i like and keep ranting about the shit they doing if they wont change that. Thats all.

@AzatiS: Do you not feel both are responsible for this very thing? I mean Nintendo left systems like the Wii U to die after, like 2015 but on the flip side they still support the 3DS with new content to this day. Ditto to Sony who abandoned the Vita when it wasn't succeeding like the Wii U but PS3 had a very similar life to the 3DS. Both struggled at the start but found their feet because Sony and Nintendo respectively supported their systems and found a way to make it work.

I feel both have had scenarios where they have been complimentary to their fanbase and negative also. The Switch sounds hopeful though, at least. It's great that Nintendo are supporting Switch with franchises like Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Metroid Prime. All of which never saw a release on Wii U (sadly... frustratingly. :P )

What year did Nintendo not support the Wii though? I think the Wii's major issue was 3rd parties not finding success on the platform, and only very few developers actually produced content. Nintendo themselves though supported the Wii right up to 2011. In fact, 2010 was one of its best years.

They keep "supporting" you mean. I wont call this support but ok, yes they do far better work. I said to you if something is going full on ( sales and momentum etc ) OR if theres a monopoly then yes , they go all the way. If things starting to slow down .. they say bye bye sooo early. Also 3DS is a different deal to consoles since 3rd parties are present big time.

Sony indeed let Vita go but the they still providing some games here and there and besides its different to let go a system because youre under an EPIC financial pressure as a company with billions of billions of debt and losses when this system isnt selling than having 100+ million users out there and epic profits thrue the years and do the same ( wii speaking ). Its totally different.

Sony did other shits we c an talk all day about ( misleading marketing , fake ingame footage , pathetic hardware choices for PS3, promises they never kept and plenty more )but they never stopped doing what matters most for gamers. Providing games. You want New Ips ? Done. Yes some of them will fail but it is what itis. You want variety and quantity in different genres for all tastes ? There you are ! And all that from a multibillion in debt company. I mean, what else to ask ? Thats something you should give kudos for.

I mean the most epic fail when it comes to SONY video game products , VITA , a year or two back had more total games than Wii U in the state SONY was ( still is ).

But i wont make this Sony vs Nintendo. Sony has other issues and bs to talk about. What year ? The year everyone was calling Wii dust collector over and over and over. No excuses, you having 100+ million users out there and epic profits up to that point. Make another Smash , another mario Galaxy , do something..... And then you had PS3 with myriad of problems , last in race , Sony in the verge of bankruptcy ... offering Last of us few months before PS4 release. I mean , come on Nintendo.

Anyways, time will tell. I dont trust Nintendo at all. Great games , yes. Who can deny that ? Noone, its a fact. But i want consistency on that if you lack 3rd parties and you want my money. I dont want systems to die mid gen or go into life supports ending up in the corner collecting dust for the sake of 4-5 epicly good games. Thats the bet im talking about for years now.

Thats what i want to see ! Can Switch change this Nintendo mentality ? Time will tell. My concerns and predictions is given already and most of you ( them whatever ) laughing about them , so be it. We will see.

The thing is im more honest and true to this than all sheep combined on this forum yet im the bad guy. I like that role in the end of the day. Time will tell. When things will start decline that is.

@AzatiS:I mean the Wii got a pretty bad rap in that it was effectively a PS2 in the age where consoles made the jump to HD. People were looking for different kinds of experiences, I feel. Experiences that the Wii could not offer. That doesn't mean there weren't interesting and fun games on the platform released every year. People just ignored them. :P

Take the aforementioned 2010. The second last year of Wii's life had:

• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• Donkey Kong Country Returns
• Kirby's Epic Yarn... ugh >:(
• Metroid Other M
• Epic Mickey
• Red Steel 2
• Sonic Colors
• No More Heroes 2
• Xenoblade Chronicles
• Trauma Team
• Lost in Shadow

Those are just the exclusives titles of that year. That's fairly decent support. But then lots of people didn't buy games such as Red Steel 2 and Trauma Team. Likely because they were more niche releases but there was still plenty to consider playing if you're a gamer of open mind. I put in bold the three that are arguably some of the best games throughout the systems entire life-cycle.

Regarding Sony and Nintendo's business practices. They are businesses at the end of the day. They don't act on anything solely to screw over their fans or consumers. They sometimes have to make tough decisions on when they need to pull back on supporting their systems like Wii U and Vita. I don't believe that those decisions come lightly to them but sometimes they need to make decisions that will affect consumers who bought those consoles such that they can maximize profits in the future. Like with Breath of the Wild. The install base was so small on Wii U and the system was already dead by the time initial release was meant to happen. They needed to figure out a better way of using that game to make money, so they held it back for the launch of their new system. That sucks terrible for Wii U owners but it was just business... It is what it is, unfortunately.

http://kotaku.com/5943529/nintendo-doesnt-think-your-wii-u-will-collect-dust

You can find myriad of posts, videos etc thru the years about both consoles. Just found a typical Nintendo response to the dust accussations if you get what i mean.

My point is as long as you fans letting every shit go like this , Nintendo , Sony or whoever .. theyll keep doing shady things and they wont give a shit about it. Raise your voice, let them know what they did with Zelda to hype Switch wasnt nice for Wii U owners. Some people bought Wii U only for Zelda !! Lets them know for everything , dont gently pat every shit they doing.

What they did with Wii wasnt nice too. You trying to prove otherwise with the list you provided but we both know what was the case back then. Games were so few that i remember there werent enough to make it to top 10 in gamespot !! Same for Wii U !! It was something like TOP 7 , TOP 6 and the scores of those games were something like 7-7-6-4-3 ... top 10. So lets not pretend everything was fine.

As for business, dont forget we have power. Either by letting them know or boycott something. For example when media slapped SF5 and users as well let Crapcom know that they cant release half ass games , it wont work again and beleive me , they wont do it agian. Period.

Same for MS with X1. They had some weird policies that got reversed when they saw people are upset and pre-orders not that good.

But when you have a company doing shit after shit and you still praising them and you still paying them while defending every shit they doing ( the best example of them all is blizzard fanboys , you dont want to mess with them by any means lol ) then sorry i cant go in line with that. Ill keep try to talk some sense into you whatever the case or ill keep expressing myself in a way you wont like since you gonna feel like im hating on your favorite company/game or platform. ( generally speaking ).

Anyways , as you said it is what it is. I was one of the few if i remember right i gave Switch a high chance to do good before its release and i explained why also hardware speaking.

If Nintendo is consistent with their 1st party releases every year and make me eat my words this generation , why the hell not ! Its not like i win something either way. If something , i might lose instead 400-500$ to buy one myself. But that wont happen if they start the shits of the past. Make people excited and happy and then .... slowly but steadily .. in life support. Pfff.

Ill slap em all over the place once again and ill make many sheep cry again. Will be my fault for doing so ? I dont think so

@AzatiS: But who is letting it go? I don't know who you are talking about. :/

Two posts back I agreed that support for the Wii U died very early. That has nothing to do with my opinion on the Wii which Nintendo support quite handsomely up until it's last year, 2011 where things began to die down. Are you talking about Char? He is of the opinion that both the Wii U and Wii were not terribly appetizing systems. In fact, he considers the Wii U largely irrelevant outside of a small selection of games. He completely agrees with you. I feel you're generalizing people, their opinion and what they think again. I'm allowed to be happy with the Wiis' support if I like. Some years were better than others, of course. 2009 and 2011 for example were comparatively dull compared to 2007, 2008 and 2010 for the Wii. It's just not broad strokes. Some years were better than others. This idea that the Wii went into life support though to me is disingenuous. 2009 was a crummy year sandwiched between 2008 and 2010 being excellent years to own the system, and again review scores mean nothing to me in a medium that has really bad writers and reviewers doing the work. I'm not going to let the general consensus persuade me in the generation that made Assassin's Creed a thing. I think those games are awful but post AC2 got consistently high review scores which I don't personally agree with. Generally speaking, people would say the Wii had droughts but like I said, this I believe had more to do with people being interested in different games that generation.

There are reasons to be concerned about the Nintendo Switch, of course but that doesn't mean we go ahead and ridicule them for everything. Their online solution is awful but their support for the system year-one game wise?

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Arms
• Splatoon 2
• Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
• Fire Emblem Warriors
• Xenoblade 2
• Super Mario Odyssey
• Pokken Tournament DX

I know some of these have simultaneous releases on other systems and some are enhanced ports but put that aside and just consider for a second that if someone bought the Nintendo Switch, these games from Nintendo would be offered to them on the first year. That's pretty decent for a first year lineup of games. So yeah, I'm supportive of that and the fact that they still have Metroid Prime 4, a Pokemon RPG and Fire Emblem strategy game in development for the future. I'm critical of their online solution and concerned about their 3rd party support but personally, how Nintendo have been supporting the system thus far has been a positive for me.

Nintendo fans do aside very very few. They gently pat Nintendo out of fanboyism when they do the worst possible things.

For example Zelda delayed for so long for Nintendo to give momentum to their next console ? Really ? And Internet didnt explode at all aside few posts here and there ? If it was other game, you name it, any, from any other platform .. we might have been in world war 3 by now either online or irl. Because the reason was clearly something else than "the game isnt ready".

Anyways , we will see. Switch having a good start but Nintendo has alot to "prove" in the future when nasty competition will take their momentum away ( the main reason why would be ideal in MY OPINION for Nintendo to promote Switch as what really is , a handheld. Gl competing with next-gen consoles in 2-3 years from now ). Because thats when Nintendo shuting down. When they losing momentum and everything then slowly letting their systems go into life support way earlier than they should.

Will it happen this time ? Will the games you mention be enough for it to make it thru to a healthy, full of games at least 5-6 years full generation cycle ? We will see.

@AzatiS: I don't think it was patting them on the back for delaying Zelda. It just made business sense. It sucked as a Wii U owner. I wanted to play the game but it was a smart business decision because it clearly had an affect on Switch sales. It was a smart move that unfortunately sucked for Wii U owners like myself. To me a fanboy will never see the negative side of anything a company does and will always spin it as a positive that reflects on them. Like you mentioned, the Zelda delay being good for them rather than just good for Nintendo's business.

But it's counter intuitive to generalize everyone's opinions and tastes based on some factors where their opinions align. Fans of Nintendo who love Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros., Metroid and are willing to true new properties such as ARMS aren't fanboys. They're just fans of Nintendo's games and hold them in high value regarding purchasing systems and partaking in this past time. Nintendo being a company that generally stick to the philosophy of designing their games with mechanics in mind makes their titles have a universal language that; it's no surprise that people enjoy a multitude of their properties. They make good games... except when they don't. :P

As far as marketing goes right now, I don't really get the sense that Nintendo are doing objectively one this in terms of the image of what the Switch is. All their trailers show footage of people playing the games at home and on the go. People understand that it's a device you can play on the TV and outside. I don't see why it would be beneficial to stop showing the Switch dock in their trailers and focus solely on the hand-held component.

ps3 OS

PS4 OS

So far I have:

Super Bomberman R

Breath of the Wild

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Puyo Puyo Tetris

Shovel Knight TT

Fast RMX

Splatoon 2

Sonic Mania

It has been a great console and I've had no regrets with its purchase. Nintendo has been a force to reckon with with the Switch. Plus it fits my lifestyle better than traditional consoles at this point in time.

Did majority of the people here stopped having fun playing games or something?

So far I got:

Zelda
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon 2
Snake Pass
Snipperclips

I'm really happy with the Switch so far. I have about 400 hours between Zelda and Splatoon and counting. Haven't played MK that much (20 or so hours) but I'm starting to feel like picking it up again. I'm totally gonna get Puyo Puyo Tetris at some point. My gf will probably get us Mario + Rabbids today, I'm getting Binding of Isaac as soon it's out in EU and then it's Mario Odyssey time. With Metroid Prime 4 on the horizon as well, it doesn't look like I'll be putting the Switch down anytime soon.

Love my Switch to death, even though my system is looking really worn out already.
It definitely shows wear and tear unlike any other Nintendo system I've owned.

@Sgt_Crow: Do you have a screen protector on your Switch?

I don't. I hate the look of those things...
But I wasn't referring to the screen, which luckily still looks new. :)
It's mostly the joy-con and the back of the console, which show some slide-marks from the dock and the grip.
Furthermore, the coating on my right joy-con is really starting to wear down, which kind of makes it look like it was polished or something.

@Sgt_Crow: I'm sorry to hear that. :/

Mine still looks pristine. I also made sure to get myself a screen protector. I got the tempered glass ones from Orzly. It adds just enough depth to the system that when I dock it, there is no wiggle room for the Switch to move so it doesn't wiggle around precariously.

Since you have it, would you recommend Fast RMX? I've been eyeing it since launch basically. I'm interested, but everyone I know that has the game hasn't played more than like 2 hours of it, tops. Not the sign of an amazing game, really. I think I pretty much have to get the game if I want a similar experience to F-Zero, that amazing series Nintendo keeps ignoring.

Owned one since day 1.

I own just 2 games for it, and have not been inclined to buy any more yet.

I have Zelda and Mario Kart, both great games, although both of which are available on another platform i already owned; and my total playtime with the system is under 50 hours.

I'm happy with the hardware, it's a cool piece of kit, but not enough games for me right now so the system is collecting dust. Because of that I'm getting a fair bit of buyers remorse (but not as much as other systems)

I'm looking forward to resident evil Revelations, and Skyrim on the system though, and i have high hopes that X-Com 2 may get ported across.

@_Matt_: Are you not interested in trying games like Splatoon 2? A bunch of us here play it together and get together for online sessions if you are interested. :)
