So, now that it has been a few months what is the consensus on

>>381631313
Not yet. Wait for more games to come out.

It's worth buying about as much as any console that has been on the market for 3 months is. if you like the few exclusives it offers, then it's worth it

i want 1

I can't find one.

>>381631313

It is, IF you can actually find one that isn't being sold for $100+ over msrp.

>>381631313
IMO, after E3 I feel like it is. There's a lot of good stuff on the horizon. Anyone who bought one before E3 was a moron tho.

Liked it better when it was called the Wii U.

There will be more in very soon. I will be picking one up even though the only game I'll play for now is mk8

>>381631313
by the end of the year, it will be worth it

It depend if interest in any of the game that are out or coming out.

Why though? I'd say Mario Kart was the reasonable time to buy it if you knew you'd buy other stuff coming in the future.

>>381632262
Can I ask why you limit yourself like that?

Consensus is that games are fucking expensive and that I need a second job.

>>381632504
The thing is that trusting Nintendo to even have other stuff in the future is a risky gamble. Also, I personally think that buying a console when there's only 1 or 2 games you want on it is a waste of money. I usually wait for around 5 or so.

>>381631313

If you're pumped for Zelda and think at least one of Nintendo's summer games looks good, yes.

If you're not excited for one of the summer games, wait until Mario and Xenoblade release this fall.

If you hate fun, don't buy it.

>>381632659
Not every game that is E10, T, or M has violence in it, you know. Maybe a bit less so for M games, but there's definitely nonviolent E10 and T games.

>>381632820
I prefer to play only games Rated E For Everyone.


I prefer to avoid E10, T, and M games


Only games E for Everyone for me please and thank you very much

Im three months, the Switch has been a greater value than either the X1 or PS4 on similar timelines. Especially useful for the more social gamer. I live in a college town in Texas and have totally been to a few house parties where 1-2-Switch and Jackbox 3 were playing off a Switch.

>>381632653

I think it's great!
It's gimmick around the docking and undocking works flawlessly.
The games are of really high quality so far.
The pro controller is really nice and has 40 hours of battery life.
It's massively successful in a way that doesn't burn as bright as Wii or Pokemon Go, which is important, because it means it'll have a tempered success.

3rd party seemed hesitant to get on board with it, because of the Wii U, but I think it'll get just as much traction as the PlayStation 4 has with tons of exclusive and interesting games.

People see it as a competitor to the other big AAA-bearing consoles and frown at the specs of it, but rather they should see it as the 3DS and Vita successor. I bet it'll be swimming in games by this time next year.

>>381631313
Not worth it yet. Mine's become a dust magnet and will stay that way until Odyssey

Not until mid to late 2018, when Mario and all the other in development titles are already out + they online services are past their experimental phase

why would anything change? a few months have passed and it still only really has mario kart and botw. both games you can get on the wiiu.

it needs more games, but the library down the line looks good. also good luck finding one.

>>381632481
thats how it is here. its not jew york or anything, but my modest town of 100k people has them.

>>381631313
I'm hopeful for the Switch, but I'd wait on it.

I waited forever to pick up a WiiU, but it was still a mistake and I'm glad I didn't pick it up when it first came out, I only play Wonderful101 and Breath of the Wild on mine.

Erased endless bitching about the WiiU's numerous aesthetic and functional shortcomings.

If you don't have a WiiU and have friends that are also going to get a Switch it will probably be half-decent at least, but if you're more into solo gameplay I'd wait until 2018 unless there is some exclusive you're absolutely burning for.

Furthermore, Nintendo themselves might say that they want to continue to support the 3DS, but everyone else is definitely moving forward. Not only is it a platform that is easy to develop for, it also has a massive install base of thirsty gamers who can't wait to get new software.

I was taking a short look at that Zelda-like they just put out on the store and was considering purchasing it, but I'd never ever notice it if it was on steam.

>>381635539
>Zelda-like
which one

It's a great little console but it needs more games. Give it a few months unless you have a certain one to play or have real friends to play with.

Oceanhorn. Looks like it have been out forever on Steam, but I had certainly never heard about it before.

Steam is the new Google Play of games, if you really want to see your hard work vanish into the sea of garbage

>>381632481
Literally walked into the largest game store in Melbourne a month ago and bought one on the spot

Recommended if you're content with only playing Zelda and some shovelware, very highly recommended if you have other people in real-life to play Puyo Puyo Tetris/Bomberman/Mario Kart with. Otherwise stick to PS4 or PC

>>381635978
weird, havent seen that in the switch store yet.

>>381631313
I haven't had a reason to Switch™ mine on since I beat Zelda.

>>381636494
Maybe it's not all regions yet?
It's certainly on the EU store and since it's on the US site, I assume it's on that store as well.

http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/oceanhorn-monster-of-uncharted-seas-switch

>>381636397
Cool beans friendo. Here in the US you have to get the staff to tell when the next shipment is coming and show up before the store opens.

>>381635978
Its a mobile game that became successful. It's decent but not totally comparable to TLoZ.

>>381635978
I'm not sure I could confidently recommend Oceanhorn. Give it a try if you're especially hungry for something like Zelda - otherwise, I think it's a bit bland.

>>381631313
I like the hardware way more than I thought I would.

Current lineup of games is a tiny bit better than expected; indie game buffer is helping with that. Would have felt a little bit unsure if I bought it for myself, but I got it as a birthday gift, and I'm pleased with it.

>>381633447
so far it's sold it's sold marginally better than the Wii U had at this point, which itself, might I add, had sold marginally better than the Wii had.
I think it will be a success, but it's far too early to tell if it actually has been already.

>>381637013
Sucks, at least you guys aren't forced to pay $100 for every game. $100 for Bomberman is fairly insulting, and the games never go on sale, even years later.

Considering no other platform you can play the game of the decade on, I'd say it's worth it for Breath of the Wild alone.

as a system that does what it does its the best on the market currently however it still has plenty of room for improvement. the real question is how many games are either out or coming out within the next month or so are you interested in.

>>381631313
I bought one for my wife, my wife's son, and myself and we have been loving it, honestly.

Now we are just waiting for Splatoon 2 to drop so we can get some great team matches going this Summer.

People on /v/ are just too cynical. Trust me, the Switch is the best console around ESPECIALLY if you have others around that have one too!

>>381638857
Agreed, PS4 controller forces you to sit a certain way, Switch controllers you can sit however the fuck you like, shit's extremely cash. Plenty of games would be much better with Switch controllers

I'm trying to convince others to buy it because it's the best local multiplayer system in history.

As a primary PC guy, I think so. The console build itself is great, and if you didn't have a Wii U, Arms, BotW, Bomberman, and MK should suffice. I enjoy mine very much. No remorse here.

>>381640702
>A traditional Kirby experience

But fucking why

I will never understand this. Developers make the same game over and over, they get massively shit on even by normies. But Kirby always seems to get a free pass even though it's practically the same game as always.

We need a 3D platforming Kirby or something. Just change the formula for once.

Or maybe Kirby is just the IRL Zoo-Wee-Mama and you aren't allowed to not like it

If you didn't fall for the Wii U meme, it's worth picking up. Zelda and Mario Kart are probably the main fun you'll have, but it's peppered with more light experiences like ARMS, Mighty Gunvolt, and Bomberman. Throw in some good friends, and you've got yourself many hours of fun. Honorable mention for accessible Minecraft on the go.

What journey is so bad that you can comfortabley take out your Switch and play without looking like a complete bellend? Bring a book. Look out the fucking window. Strike up a conversation.

>What journey is so bad that you can comfortabley take out your Switch and play without looking like a complete bellend?

My daily commute is 2 hours and 30 minutes. Enough time to comfortably play vidya.

>Bring a book.

I cannot concentrate on a book when there's arabs talking in their horrendous language.

>Look out the fucking window.

That's just wasting time. Besides, I have looked out of the same window and view for more than 15 years Anon.

>Strike up a conversation.

If I see someone I know of course I do that.

>About the only time I can expect it to be of worth is long-haul flights, and even then there's far better, cheaper, less bulky options to choose from.

Like a gaming laptop? Get real lmao

I like it, but so far I only like the very multiplayer centric games.

I think it's cool that they are throwing out a lot of first party multiplayer games. Mario Kart, Arms and Splatoon 2 in the first months is pretty solid. The Bone pretty much survives on multiplayer games.

nah too expensive here in europe. i'm gonna wait for like a year

If you can find one, yes...

>>381647659
Anything but another fucking screen. Yes, study people even. Notice things. You can learn a lot and come away with anecdotes and conversation points beyond what you 'achieved' in a game.

If you don't like Nintendo games, then not yet. Summer at the earliest, but definitely by Winter. I think there are going to be some Visual Novels being ported to Switch so that will be nice. Specifically the Nitro+ ones.

I envy you. Wanted to buy a switch controller for pc gayman yesterday but the price of 80 € is just too steep. Is there a chance it gets lower or am I doomed to wait for the next 5 years+

>going on a vidya board
>tells people to stop playing vidya

lol fuck off trying to be sagely, if you had it figured out then you wouldn't be here.

>>381648327
Why are you so mad? I travel to work by train because it saves time and allows me to do other things, such as playing vidya. You sound pretty insecure. It's better to spend 2 hours playing games on the go than playing 2 hours when coming home and not doing anything else. I can just use those two hours I would have spent glued to my TV screen doing other things.

>>381648691
It's 65€ on amazon.de

I'm not telling you to stop playing games.
I'm complaining about Nintendo continuing to push bigger things.
Then market them as portable when it's a fucking stupid concept with resources that could've been better spent elsewhere.
Meanwhile it makes the people who buy into it look like cunts. But that's their choice.

>>381648721
Fair play, that is a long commute and if that's what you do to get through such a thing that's your thing.
It's still a compromise and I still think Nintendo are wrong to try and play the main console and portable games in one product.

Mk8 is fun as heck and the new dlc for Zelda is coming out soon, should last you till Splatoon 2 at least

ordered one today, UK finally got some stock back. more for what's coming in 1 year or so, but i'm pretty excited to play zelda and mario kart. looking foward to splatoon 2, xenoblade 2, new pokemon mainly

The Switch is getting exactly the sort of third-party I wanted.
Between my PC and Ps4, I've already got a way to play the big AAA multiplatform titles.
What I wanted from the Switch was essentially the same type of 3rd party support as the Vita.
I wanted smaller Japanese 3rd party games and indie games, especially anything that would allow me to spend hours autistically trying again for a higher score like Binding of Isaac, Tumbleseed, etc.
I'm getting exactly that as well as an increasing stream of small 3rd party titles with a heavy local multiplayer focus and some good Neo Geo ports.
As long as Nintendo keeps up it's stream of notable releases, I'll keep on being satisfied.

>Really want to try the Switch to form my own opinion about
>Local game store has a fucking billion 3Ds displays but not a single switch
I just want to feel it in my hands guys

Good luck finding one for sale when Splatoon is here. Japan will import all Switches from elsewhere for months.
