Is the Switch worth it? Or at least worth the cost?

lol, no.

It varies from individual to individual, make your own goddamn decision for once in your fucking life

>>377706628
lo, yes

>>377706628
not worth the cost by a longshot. If Nintendo can't produce them for the market at $150-160, it will never be worth the cost.

>>377707603
Why do that when I can just parrot /v/'s opinions?

>>377707770
Take a load of this guy.

Name a Tegra X1 powered tablet cheaper than the Switch.

>>377706628
ABSOLUTELY not

>>377707927
Well.... The nvidia shield obviously.

>>377706628
Maybe at the end of the year

>>377708443
The tablet is not X1, it's K1. There is an X1 Shield, but it's not a tablet. The introductory price for the K1 Tablet was $299, it was lowered a year later to $199.

I have one, its not.

Wait about a year. The library is so small right now that I totally wouldn't recommend it. Let Nintendo release some worth while for party games and see how their third party games are.

>>377708256
Agreed

I just want a pokemon game like Colosseum or Gale

>>377706628
Depends. Do you need a handheld? I only use it on the go and it is fantastic. A complete game changer.

STILL SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE

FUCK OFF.

I WANT to give my money away and can't.

>>377706628
There aren't many good releases for the Switch, save Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2. Maybe wait for the base price to go down or wait for some good games to be released.

>>377706628
I generally don't like nintendo games. I had a wii-u for some stupid fucking reason, and I never played the thing.

I bought a switch for some stupid fucking reason... and it's actually pretty damn great. Like 30 hours into BoTW, and while it's not my favorite game ever, or even my favorite open world game, it's good.

Being able to play it on a flight, which I do a lot, is awesome. MK8 deluxe is pretty good too. Once I finish Zelda, I don't know if my opinion will stay the same or not.

The SHIELD tablet used a K1, anyway X1 is in another league.

>>377710943
>only having two games
Play the Neogeo games or something.

Why did Nintendo not release a Switch without the dock for $250? I don't get it. That would've been a great price point. Do they really think there are a lot of people willing to drop $400 on a console and two games?

Why does this tablet not have any apps on it? Why can't it browse the internet or watch some Netflix?

Why can't I connect my AirPods to it?

Why has there not been a single word on the VC?

What is going to happen when the battery of my Switch starts degrading after 2 years?

I have one since last week but I bet this could easily become a disaster for Nintendo if they keep the 3DS alive.

>>377710108
That's what I've been doing, but now that they announced what it is, I think I'm just going to get one local, and import the Splatoon edition controllers, since that's literally the only difference.
I dunno why they're not making anything else different. I was expecting it to be a mess of colours splattered all over, and instead it's just watermelon controllers.

>Why did Nintendo not release a Switch without the dock for $250? I don't get it. That would've been a great price point. Do they really think there are a lot of people willing to drop $400 on a console and two games?
Switch is selling gangbusters at $300, and the dock is cheap as fuck for them to make.
>Why does this tablet not have any apps on it? Why can't it browse the internet or watch some Netflix?
The internet browser enabled piracy in every single device that had it, Netflix wasn't ready for launch.
>Why has there not been a single word on the VC?
Because nobody would buy Snake Pass if they could buy Sunshine.

Same thing that happens to every other battery in your home. Deal with it or have it replaced.

You're an idiot.

>>377711315

No unless you don't own a wii u in which case wait for a sale or more games.

That's some nice moving of goalposts you are doing there. I thought it was supposed to compete with playstation 4 and xbone?

Are you falseflagging?

>>377708554
The Switch may as well have a K1 considering how dramatically underclocked the X1 in it is.

Nintendo really fucked up there in putting literally expensive but unused tech in the switch. If that means they're gonna have to take a loss for selling the Switch to get it to $160, then so be it. There are few mooks who would consider it a good value otherwise.

>>377712937
Eat shit and die useless shitposter. Before you kill yourself please tell the price of the next X1 powered device so we can see how "sold at premium" the switch is.

>>377710456
It's a region free system

>>377711310
even if you mean without the ability to dock in entirety, the port and the dock do not actually cost more than a couple dollars to produce and would not change the price too much.

even docked the X1 in the Switch is still performing worse than an off the shelf K1 in the Shield Tablet.

It's underclocked in entirety, regardless of portable or docked mode.

>>377713827
What is your source on this? Our is it an "educated guess" lmao. Because it seems underclocked while portable but full power docked.

>>377714272
its clocked higher when docked but it's still clocked worse than a standard X1 in the Shield.

source is use google and be able to know enough about numbers to compare and know which number is greater.

>>377714789
Share your source please, literally didn't find anything about it post Switch release.

>>377710108
Only Europe, and it only comes with the ugly mismatched red/blue controllers. And if the JP price is anything to go by, it'll be the same price as just buying the game + console separately.

Well maybe you save 10€ because you only get a download code

Coming from someone who owns one, no, not at this time. Unless you REALLY want to play BoTW, hold off until Christmas and beyond when more shit is out and E3 is passed and we know more about the upcoming library. Not to mention the possibility of bundles closer to the holidays will be a big reason to hold off.

Still debating that myself.

The only thing it has that has my attention is Mario, so unless something gets announced at E3 like Animal Crossing or Metroid Prime I can't see myself getting one.

I'm getting one as soon as Fire Emblem Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors and Pokemon +- or whatever the fuck comes out.

Those are the only Nintendo IPs I play anyway, besides Monhun.

>>377714272
Not him but:

Not really worth it considering its library of games and the sheer ammount of design flaws it has.

>>377716405
Why would the give you a big discount though? It's just another way of them selling you the Switch. Making some Splatton 2 exclusive themed Switch would require a lot of work to produce I guess.

This gen will last till 2019 AT LEAST.
Nintendo is just prematurely ejaculating into a new gen making the same mistakes they did with WiiU.

>>377717007
Oh, thank you anon. I seems they make it run at about 77% of it's max power while docked and 31%, not surprising, while portable. I wonder if they do this to avoid overheating issues.

>>377713480

This is stupid.

>>377718780
Not only because of overheating, if the battery last 3hs as it is, without underclocking the battery would last barely 1 hour.

>>377713827

Every game will be optimized for it though.

>>377718919
Holy shit why are people buying this fucking machine?

>>377719330
Because it's the most powerful portable ever? That you can also play in your TV effortless.

>>377719330
Because they love Nintendo.

WiiU sold 13m units, its not surprising it sells to that kind of people.
I doubt it will sell much more than that, 15m-18m tops given the fact that it doesnt share Wii name, but without AAA 3rd party games there is no way they will attract the average gamer that wants to play things like Overwatch, Destiny, GTA, CoD, etc.

>>377719549
GPD Win is more powerful and can be plugged to a TV through HDMI.

>>377719330
I think it's residual meme sales from the classic NES shitshow. Normalfags shitting the place up again. They've ruined retro games, buying a new console in a reasonable timeframe, original IPs, let's see what else they can fuck up.

Not that anon but the problem is out of stock everywhere.

>>377719895
Are you implying that having things like Destiny 2, Battlefront II, GTA, Overwatch etc wouldnt boost the sales like crazy given the console portability?

The only thing you will get alienating AAA 3rd party games is a userbase as big as the WiiU, a library of games akin to the WiiU and a early console death once Nintendo releases its first party games like what happened to the WiiU.

In todays market if you want to succeed you need to offer the games people want, and people want to play Destiny 2 and Overwatch, not Zelda and Mario.

Sure Zelda and Mario are strong IPs, but cant put all the weight on them or you will fail in the end.

>>377720793
Why wouldn't i just wait unit it has Mario and Arms out?

>>377721179
But Anon people are going to get sports games like Fifa and NBA. No one is interested in playing shooters on the go.

They literally just need to put out Pokemon or Monster Hunter and the console sells itself.

>>377721342

I don't know what you are doing but I commute 2 hours per day and it's a godsend so there's a reason for you to get it now.

>>377721743
>Overwatch and Destiny 2 on PC
Yes, you can.

But the average gamer wants to play on console not on PC.
Normie dude wants to play Overwaych or Destiny and buys the console that lets him play that, instead of playing them on PC and buying the NIntendo console that lets him play wahoo bing bing.

No. Anyone who tells you otherwise already made the mistake or is a huge fanboy that is okay with a minimal library of mostly Nintendo games; Be aware you get 2-3 legit good releases a year.
