If it doesn't appeal to you then don't buy it my dude.

>>385083015
That doesn't answer the question of what the point is.

>>385083015
This. I made the mistake of buying it too early but BOTW was pretty good and I'm importing MHXX while I play Yakuza 0 and Danganronpa.

I'd suggest the Vita too if you're into those kinds of games. I have an OELD version and a PSTV.

>>385082485
Recent Switch purchaser here. I feel like a fucking idiot.

I dropped $300 on a console with 2 games that will have 4 games by the end of the year.

The piece of garbage doesn't even have any streaming services or anything so I can't even use it to replace my Wii U that decided to kick the bucket a few months ago.

I would understand them doing that if they were going for a "pure gaming" console and they would release more than 1 game for it within a year, but it's not. It's just a cheap piece of plastic with a few shitty indie games and like 2 games even worth dropping a dime on.

Don't buy this piece of shit. Don't waste your money.

>>385083223
>Surely I must have missed something
>I'll ask /v/
>"I'm not answering a rhetorical question."
So I guess I'm not missing anything? It's just a shit console, as it stands right now?

No one buys a Nintendo Console/Handheld for non-Nintendo games unless it's really obscure.
Seriously, the most hyped games on the Switch are currently Zelda BotW, MK8D, and Splatoon 2. Why would you get one if you don't want these?
There's nothing else going for it ATM and you're better off waiting till next year.

>>385083184
This. So much this that I can't comprehend it.

Shitch is probably one of the biggest scams in all of gaming. Fact. Little to no real games and the ones they do have are kiddy casual shit. So glad it's flopping hard now and being rekt by PS4.

On a similar note, if you want a perfect testament of how little Neo-Nintendo cares for their IPs, just watch their E3 2017 direct...

.....fucking MERCURY STEAM!!!!

>>385083372
There's no reason that all those indie games couldn't have been ported by now. Considering that they already made them work for the Vita, it would be nothing to port over. It's not like porting Darkest Dungeon from the PC to the Vita/PS4, where they literally had to create the control scheme.

>>385083395
Yeah, sure, it's shit, don't buy one. We good now?

Also it has some good time killer games already like Thumper and Snake pass.

Also worth mentioning that Rainway will be coming soon which will allow you to stream any PC game onto your Switch.

It will also probably get hacked which means it will get emulators.

splatoon 2, botw, mk8 and it's portable

>>385083582
It's pretty obvious your'e just shitposting, anon.

>>385083604
It's not "games that I don't like." Keep in mind that I have a Wii U, so that covers BotW and MK8. Is there even 4 more games that anyone would want to play (I mean that genuinely - for example, nobody wants to play Meme Run on the Wii U)?

I'm aware of Arms and Splatoon 2, both of which is entirely reasonable to be considered good, depending on the person's likes, but I can't think of any other good games.

>>385084179
The vita is a dead console. Nips are flocking to the Switch.

>>385083927
For a 7 year old console it fucking better.

>>385084335
Looking at the store, it doesn't seem all that dead to me. They even have digital preorders for games that will go to the Vita and the PS4. One that comes to my head (but doesn't interest me) is Undertale, which is coming out around the middle of August.

Books are incredibly easy to take with you, and they're easy to set down when you need to do shit. Plus, as a hobby, reading is much cheaper to maintain than video games. You can get a metric shitton of books for the price of a couple games.

Which games? Really I want to know all these games the Vita had that made it worth buying only 4 months in.

Switch is the best console I've had in the past 2 generations. I love it. I have no idea why you want ports of 2-4 year old indie games, but if you do, go elsewhere. Hell, just buy a Windows tablet.

It was patently obvious this was going to be a bait thread as soon as comparisons to the Vita were made.

This thread is the equivalent of shitposting about how the 3DS has no games and you should've bought a PSP instead because it had more games back in 2011.

>>385084912
Don't. The battery lasts 2 hours or something as a handheld. Get a Windows tablet for ports of games you can already play as that's cleary what appeals to you. Hell if you like a handheld get a handheld. If I liked handhelds there are a dozen DS and half a dozen Vita games I'd like to play.

I'm loving my games on Switch, if you don't want them then don't buy one. It's not hard.

I've sunk so many hours into Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 and Tetris though. With Mario around the corner I'm set until Christmas.

>>385085072
The battery lasts 3 hours minimum if you're playing more demanding games like Zelda. I've managed to get more than 5 hours on an incomplete charge with games like Puyo Tetris and Shovel Knight.

>>385085189
If I wanted to play another version of Tetris on something which will eat through its battery in 30 minutes then probably, yes. But why wouldn't I just look for it on PC instead? Puyo Puyo Tetris is very well presented, has good local, good online and I think is available for most platforms. I like it a lot.

By your logic Sony and Nintendo shouldn't have asked money for the Vita and 3DS when they first came out while the PSP and DS still exist alongside it. It was unfair for Sony to ask $400 for the PS4 because the PS3 still exists and was getting game.

The fact that no other company is making modern handhelds to compete with the switch doesn't make it any less unreasonable to compare it to a 7 year old console based on the size of its library. No shit a handheld out for that long is going to have more games than the 4 month old one. Use your fucking brain.

Idort here, I have 3DS, Vita, Switch for portable systems. All Japanese account.
3DS is old, and I've played most games I wanted to play. The library is also smaller compared to Vita.
Vita is also old, but the game library is way larger - or at least it is if you can read moon runes. I've finished all single player games that are on my high priority list. There are still backlogs, but I'm not in a hurry to finish them. I still bring my Vita from time to time for that.

Multiplayer is sort of dead on both 3DS and Vita. Most of my friends moved somewhere else. Some moved to PC games, some PS4, and friends who find portability important all moved to Switch.

Initially I bought Switch only for Zelda, then my friends invited me to play MK8 and Splatoon 2. I grabbed Bomberman and puyo puyo tetris along with those 2 games. We'd play from our own homes during weekdays after work, but on weekends, we bring our Switches with us, find somewhere nice, like a new restaurant that just opened or a game show, then meet up and play.

If you don't find that appealing, then I guess there's no point in owning a Switch. Wait for another year or two. I'm enjoying my Switch so far. I like playing Splatoon 2 and MK8 every night better than FF XIV or Destiny 2.

>>385086469
go ahead order one if it suits your needs. don't forget to check you have firmware 3.6 so you can hack it.

Not him, but I would use Wire, if the google image search regarding Discord is accurate.

>>385086087
>I wasn't doing shit back then. This isn't my board, friend.
And? Your rational is still the same. People are saying it's unfair because it is, people are insulting you because the amount of games you expect a 4 month old console to have is unreasonable. The argument to make for the Switch is that it has more developer support while the lifecycle of the Vita is near its end.

If you're just looking to spend your money then go ahead and buy a vita since you seem to value the amount of games a handheld has over anything else, not even future games. No 4 month old console is ever going to meet your standards for the amount of games a console should have.

>>385086548
It certainly isn't Discord, or any of the other myriad software /g/ claims is a "botnet" on an hourly basis. The term botnet actually has a technical meaning, and kids who didn't know that started parroting the joke they heard and took it as a serious thing.

That is still more than the PS4 in 3 years to be honest. For a long time I thought the PS4 was the worst console ever made and yet lots of fags here praise it unironically.

In case of the Switch, maybe wait when new games are released
now, it sounds like that the Vita suits you better after all

>>385086891
Not who you were responding to, but as someone who has a laptop with 4GB of Ram, a 1st gen Intel i3, and runs Linux, I find great value with the PS4 and Vita combo.

>>385086739
No because the Switch has more games than the PS4 did in the same timeframe

But now that we've established you don't want to buy consoles early in their life, we can safely conclude your argument isn't specifically against the switch. It really just boils down to "Why buy [newly released console] when you can buy [console from over half a decade ago] that's cheaper and has more games?

Let's be honest here, all 8th gen consoles are pieces of shit with barely 1 or 2 good games each YEAR.

The reason people buy so many consoles today is because 1 isn't enough. I mean you can build a PC and have thousands of games available for you or buy a console and starve for months wondering if you should buy that another console to complement it.

I'm not even planning to get a Switch anytime soon but a Vita does sound like it might be better for you.

In the end, with any console, get the one you will enjoy most and games you would like. The original Xbox has a large library of quality games but I would never get one because it doesn't interest me; it doesn't make it bad, just not for me.

>>385087069
Name a more recent competitor to the Switch, keeping in mind that I've already got a 3DS.

Buy a Vita and you will start wondering if you should buy a Switch (again) when XC2 comes out.

>>385087178
Not really. Now, if it was XCX2, I'd be wondering. But I wasn't a huge fan of the first XC.

>>385087149
There is no recent handheld competitor to the Switch, because Nintendo is the only major manufacture who still supports handhelds.

You're literally asking "What's the point of a new console when the old ones exist for cheaper with more games?" You haven't addressed anything regarding how many games the Switch has that wouldn't apply to any other console only 4 months into its life. What was the point of the Vita when the PSP was still getting games?

>>385087392
Do you think that argument will convince him to purchase the Switch? Genuinely curious.

>>385087606
There are lots of good answers out there.
OP seems unsatisfied so far.
Seems like OP instinctively wants a Switch, but his left brain quickly bombarded it with facts and reasons why it's a bad idea. So he made a thread hoping one of us can convince his left brain to get it.

>>385087824
You could have just said, "No."

It really looks like you're just trying to explain why the Switch seems so bad at the moment.

>>385087606
He can't be convinced because his expectations can't be met by any 4 month old console, let alone the Switch. Why would you expect a 4 month old console to have more games than one from 2011?

>>385087975
Looks like he was looking for good indie games, which are already available for another older handheld. 4 months in, there's no excuse for every game he listed not having been released, or having a definite release date announced.

Are you literally retarded?

>>385087952
You're not even responding to the same person anymore.

The Switch seems "bad" for the same reason why every new console is "bad". Apparently no company should put out a new game platform unless it launches with a larger game library than the entire history of its predecessor.

Honestly this thread just reeks of /vitagen/. It really looks like vita owners are trying to have a dick measuring contest because they're worried about ceding Japanese dev support to the Switch.

>>385088416
You think it would take actually take 4 months for a game released to the Vita to be ported to the Switch? You think it would take more than 4 months for a game released to the Vita to have a release date for the Switch? Would it be too much to have a definite announcement at this point?

>>385088494
>It really looks like vita owners are trying to have a dick measuring contest because they're worried about ceding Japanese dev support to the Switch.
Yes, I'm sure that the Japanese devs are perusing /v/ to get at the heart of what the people on this board want.

Plenty of people have been telling you to save your money, OP. Why are you so adamant about immediately spending your gifted cash on a plastic toy?

>>385088703
Not OP (pretty sure he bailed), but literally nobody in this thread, aside from you, has said to save his money.

>>385088494
>Honestly this thread just reeks of /vitagen/
Except /vitagen/ hates all the Vita games OP mentioned:
>There's no Salt and Sanctuary, no Hyper Light Drifter, no Don't Starve, no Darkest Dungeon, no Slain: Back From Hell

>>385088656
Who said anything about Japanese devs browsing /v/?
Thanks for proving my point. The Vita has no future, it's losing support and Sony isn't releasing a follow up handheld. So vita owners now try to overcompensate by comparing it to the Switch by bragging about having more indie games than a 4 month old console.

>>385088932
If /vitagen/ mentioned the games they actually play, the would have gotten laughed at right from the start. Vita isn't getting the next SMT or Dragon's Quest.

>>385088594
The vita didn't amass its entire indie library in the span of 4 months. It didn't even have a fraction of the amount of games that the PSP did at that point.

>>385088932
Really? What does vitagen like, then? I've been under the impression that it was just an indie machine.

>>385088594
Yes?

So you are actually retarded. You have no idea how the port processing works.

>>385088703
Because the OP never had any money, or any intention of spending it. This entire thread was created to shitpost about the Switch using the Vita.

>>385089124
Neat. But people aren't comparing consoles as they were, so as to pull their punches to a newcomer, but as they are now.

>Switch, when, for the same price, you can pick up a Vita, a 64GB memory card, AND a few games


>in 2017

ha ha ha what a fucking retard

>>385089295
People (really just OP) are comparing older gen consoles to newly released current gen consoles. Comparing the Switch to the Vita in the middle of 2017 is no different than comparing the Vita to the PSP in the middle of 2012.

>>385089608
And, in 2012, which would you have purchased?

I also night shift, Vita is the more worthwhile purchase at the moment, even more so if you hack it for free shit.

>>385089697
I had already owned a PSP by 2012.
I wouldn't be dumb enough to argue what's the point of the Vita just because the PSP exists.

>>385089847
If you didn't own it (like OP), which would you buy in 2012?

>>385082485
Did you take into account that the Vita has had 5 and a half years to build up it's library compared to the Switch's 4 months?

>>385089968
What was the point the Vita's existence in 2012?

>>385090024
You're talking to someone who doesn't understand how console cycles work.
Don't try to reason with shitposters.

>>385090048
That's a nice way to dodge the question, so I'll ask it again: In 2012, if you owned neither the Vita nor the PSP, which one would you purchase.

>>385090262
I already answered your original question. You moved the goalposts and are now asking a disigneous as fuck question.

You're the one dodging the question, so I will ask again: What was the point of the Vita's existence in 2012? Whats the point of Sony or Nintendo releasing a new console when it has less games starting out than their predecessors?

>>385090491
>Moved the goalposts.
No, you just tried to use false equivalency to dodge the argument.

We both know which one you would have purchased in 2012, and it wasn't the Vita.

>>385082485
>There's no Salt and Sanctuary, no Hyper Light Drifter, no Don't Starve, no Darkest Dungeon, no Slain: Back From Hell.
Except half of those devs are changing that.

>>385090491
You're asking the wrong question. Of course the point of the Switch existing is the same as the Vita's. But the question wasn't why it exists, but why one would buy it at present.

Why should one buy a Vita in 2012? They shouldn't. Why should one buy a Switch in 2017? They shouldn't.

>>385090792
Not OP, but I'm glad to hear that. What are the release dates?

>>385090825
>What are the release dates?
Ask the devs.

>>385090594
I wouldn't' have purchased the Vita in 2017 so your question is irrelavent.
The vita was less than a year old in the middle of 2012 and the Switch is less than a year old in 2017. How is this a false equivalency again? If anything you're using a false comparison to dodge the argument.

We both know why you can't explain what's the point of Vita in 2012.

>>385082485
Nintendo games. That's pretty much it. Rocket league and minecraft are a start for Indies. Other than that, it's portable Nintendo games.

>>385091070
I was never interested in defending 2012 Vita. I'm not even interested in defending the Vita at all. Feel free to shit on 2012 Vita. Hell, feel free to shit on 2017 Vita. There was no reason to purchase the Vita in 2012. There's no reason to purchase the Switch in 2017. There are very specific reasons to purchase the Vita in 2017, but if you happen to fall into those reasons, its a great system.

>>385090825
No, I'm pretty sure I'm asking the right question. Because the answer exposes a double standard with console libraries with old vs new.

The question we're being asked wasn't framed as "what's the point of buying a newely released console when you can get the old one for cheaper with more games". It was questioning the point of the switch specifically for it's lack of games, despite the fact that NO modern game console has so many games in only 4 months. Anon can't admit this, so he will dissigneously deflect by calling it a "false equivalency".

>Why should one buy a Vita in 2012? They shouldn't.
They should have if they wanted more dev support than just a bunch of indie ports and low budget jrpgs.

>>385091251
>I'm not even interested in defending the Vita at all. Feel free to shit on 2012 Vita. Hell, feel free to shit on 2017 Vita.
>There are very specific reasons to purchase the Vita in 2017, but if you happen to fall into those reasons, its a great system.

Man at least try to keep your argument consistent.

>I was never interested in defending 2012 Vita.

Of course not, because you can't. Even though you're judging the Switch by the exact same standards. Well aside from the Switch's potential to get more than just indie games years down the line.

>>385091593
>Of course not, because you can't. Even though you're judging the Switch by the exact same standards.
That's kind of the point.

>>385084098
That's all well and good but you can't really play mk8, arms, or splatoon on a commute.

There are no good portable switch games so far. (BOTW doesn't count because it's boring as fuck)

>>385091696
That's exactly my point. It wasn't the point OP or anyone else in this link was making

>>385091739
Before I bought my Switch I saw more than one person playing with it on the subway and bus, one of them was playing Arms.

BOTW is the worst portable switch game since it drains the battery life too fast.

>>385084713
Yeah but 3 of those 4 games are multiplayer so shit by default and botw is the most boring game Nintendo has ever made.

>>385091906
That's a spicy opinion you got there.

>>385091815
Comparing systems as they stand now is entirely fair. You can say that the Vita wasn't worth purchasing in 2012, and I don't think anyone will argue that. Nobody ever argued otherwise. That doesn't magically mean that the Switch is worth buying now. Even if it IS worth buying in 5 years, the console will be cheaper, it will have more games, and some of those games will be moderately cheaper.

>>385091251
I wasn't interested in shitting on the Vita (at least not specifically). You seem to be missing the point, I used the Vita in my example because that happend to be the other handheld OP was using in his comparison. Swap out the Vita/PSP with the 3DS/DS or even DS/GBA, my point still stands.

>>385091886
I don't understand why anybody would ever play arms on the subway. The game is only fun if you're playing with an actual person, and the subway must be far too cramped to be flailing your arms around like a dumbass.

As a side note, I don't know anybody except me that had a switch. My brother had one, but he sold me it last week because he had nothing to play on it. He sold me it with Mario Kart 8 and Super Bomberman R for £250 (about $325), hardly used. I figured I could find a use for it because it has Zelda, so I bought that last week, but it's fucking shit so now I'm feeling like I wasted my money.

>>385083853
>*shrug*

>>385092047
If the original question was "what's the point of buying a newely released console when you can get the old one because it has more games?" you might have had a point. But that's not what was being asked ITT. Pretty much everyone told you to hold off on buying it if it doesn't appeal to you right now. The argument was never that you should buy a switch because it's new. The criticism of the Switch applies to literally every console released in the past 20 years.

Comparing the library size of a 4 month old console to a console released over half a decade ago is not even remotely fair. It's not reasonable to expect a console this new to have more games than one from an entire generation ago.

>>385092386
>I don't understand why anybody would ever play arms on the subway. The game is only fun if you're playing with an actual person, and the subway must be far too cramped to be flailing your arms around like a dumbass.

>>385092715
Not him, but I would imagine cell signal would be pretty shit on the subway.

>>385092607
>>You can defeat the entire point of the game

Motion controls aren't the point of the game, the weird ARMS combat is.

>You can drain all of your data in a single day and experience frequent disconnects

Online gaming uses such a small amount of data, its less than watching 10 minutes of youtube. If you live in any urban center your 4G connection should enough to keep playing basically everywhere you could go.

>>385092607
>Drain all your data
TMobile master race here, 156 GB downloaded so far this month, obviously spent on 1080p rips of movies and shows to watch at work as I don't do shit.

>>385092715
It's 4g and 500mb, but phone signal is extremely unreliable on trains, at least in the UK, and a lot of areas still dont have 4g coverage.

Even ignoring those issues, paying an extra £20-30 a month for more data just to play an online games in a less-than-ideal place is stupid.

>>385092873
Not him but how much does your plan cost? I'm on a grandfathered AT&T plan unlimited data, but I'm not happy with how much I'm paying.

>>385092752
5Mbit/sec isn't nothing. It's 2.25 GB per hour. Presuming 10 minutes to and from work (and that's being extremely generous), you're looking at 3 hours, 20 minutes per week, or 13 hours, 20 minutes per month. That's 30GB per month.

>>385092969
Why am I shocked that the UK is a 3rd world shit hole? I play games online via my phone's hotspot when I'm on the rails all the time and it works great.

>>385093025
Unless your smartphone/hotspot is configured weird, it shouldn't take anywhere near 2.25GB per hour to play online.

>>385093025
Online gaming doesn't use nearly that much data.

>>385093040
Well, even ignoring that, playing games online is shit. There's no real difference between playing ARMS against a person online and playing it against a very hard CPU. Multiplayer has no point if the other player(s) aren't in the room with you.

>>385085226
> Arms
>FE Musou

Really scraping the bottom of that barrel, eh? How long is it going to take Apple to finally buy Nintendo and unite all the drones under one roof?

>>385093017
TMobile One is the name, I'm paying about $95 for the plan (I think $75 for phone, $20 for the hotspot service and both are 4G LTE unlimited everything). I've actually been with T-Mobile since May 2013 and rarely have an issue, I just wish certain parts of NYC that I frequent would get some goddamn coverage. Long island city is a horrible spot for T-Mobile customers

>>385093181
>Be proven wrong
>Immediately try to change what was being discussed.

OK so if you don't like playing games online don't play games online. If you like local multiplayer your best bet is PC or Nintendo.

>>385093148
He's not wrong. 5 megabits per second is what is typically needed when gaming online. 8 megabits equals 1 megabyte. His math checks out.

Local multiplayer doesn't happen often enough to be worth buying a game based around it. The problem with games in general these days is most of them are multiplayer focused, which means they can automatically be written off as shit.

>>385093303
That's about as much as I pay for my AT&T plan, except I don't get hotspot capabilities (have to jailbreak my phone for that). I'm also from NYC and coverage is one of the reasons I'm hesitant to switch, although AT&T coverage isn't amazing here either.

>>385093639
I'm surprised you don't use Credo, being in NYC.

>>385093639
Might as well make the switch. I used to have a 15GB limit on my hotspot, that's was $10 a month, but I figured with how much I download per month and I was tired of moving everything from my phone to tablet (as my phone service never had a data cap and rarely got throttled) constantly, I went with $20 for unlimited hotspot data.

I wish there was a way to compare service coverage, because I know I have issues by hudson yards, LIC and woodhaven in Queens, and I'm in those places a lot.

>>385093856
There are maps with reported service coverage all over the net, but if you choose not to believe those, you can always return a phone within 30 days of purchase, and you're only out the minutes you spent talking and a 30 dollar restocking fee (which you can bitch about until they drop).

>>385093796
Never heard of it, but from a 2 second google search its apparently an MVNO running Verizon's network. Also the company is based on San Fransisco and they're political activists or something? Yeah I dunno.

>>385093856
AT&T used to be god awful in the parts of Queens I go to near woodhaven, but nowadays it's not too bad. I'm pretty close to LIC on the Manhattan side, so there's a good chance I'd be affected. Again I'm hesitant considering I'm on a grandfathered plan, so as soon as I switch to Tmobile I'm pretty much stuck with it and can never go back to AT&T since their current plans look pretty bad.

>OP makes a vague comparison of one console available for purchase and another
>Nintendo fags instantly turn the thread into a joke by crying false equivalency

Didn't you hear, OP? Comparing the switch to anything is unfair and makes you a sony nigger or something

>>385094176
>Never heard of it, but from a 2 second google search its apparently an MVNO running Verizon's network. Also the company is based on San Fransisco and they're political activists or something? Yeah I dunno.
It's the most blatantly liberal shit ever. They literally let you vote to donate a percentage of your payment every month to shit like Planned Parenthood. Seeing as you live in NYC, it seemed like it would be perfect for you.

They are also like the only carrier left that will actually give you a free phone with your contract, rather than just break it into 24 payments.

>>385094182
Except OP was the one to cry false equivalency when the "Nintendo fags" pointed out every console has fewer games when its only a few months old.
The thread was a joke from the start and OP's comparison was anything but vague. Feel free to compare the Switch, but comparing its library based on size is fucking retard for obvious reasons. Only a sony nigger would use Sony vs Nintendo sales to justify the fucking Vita of all things.

>>385094479
The Switch on its worst month outsold the Vita on its best month. I don't know anyone who brought up sales outside of store sales.

>>385094182
fuck off OP

>>385094479

There is absolutely no false equivalency here. There is also nothing wrong with comparing two consoles available to the public at the same time. That's a fine comparison to make.

The answer should be easy: "the switch is pretty new, you'd better wait a bit if you want a bigger library", but instead we get apologists and crybabies coming in screaming that you ca't compare them, it's not fair, etc.

I want the Nintendo babies to leave, to be honest.

>>385094617
Literally in the OP:

>Seriously, how can anyone be psyched about the Switch [...] especially when you consider that Sony has been doing the best out of consoles regarding sales (and Nintendo has been the worst)?

>>385094731
Yeah. I took that to mean online store sales, especially since he went on to talk about Sony having 50% off sales fairly often, and Nintendo basically covers the tax on Nintendo IPs a couple of times per year.

>>385094795
>Nintendo basically covers the tax on Nintendo IPs a couple of times per year.

what does this even mean?

>>385094828
Have you seen Nintendo sales? A "sale" for them is $55 for Yoshi's Wooly World 2 years after the game dropped, instead of $60.

Meanwhile, like a month after NieR Automata dropped, you could find it for around 40 bucks during a sale (and even cheaper if you had PS+).

>>385094706
>I want the Nintendo babies to leave, to be honest
And this is how we know you are full of shit, and started this thread with a bias against Nintendo from the start, you must have a really high-level form of autism.

Also anti-bump, this troll thread needs to die.

>>385094960

Is it really that bad? I generally keep to PC games these days, but my friend has a PS4 and they mention that some things have actually started to go on sale relatively cheaply now. Is Nintendo really that bad?

>>385094978
>you...started the thread

All these years and people still seem to think that /v/ is comprised of themselves and one other person they hate

>>385095072
Yes, it is legitimately, unironically, unsarcastically that bad.

>>385094960
Is because Nintendo games sell, and have massive legs unlike Sony games in general, why would you lower the price of your games when there is constant demand? Also the cuts do come out eventually, as Nintendo select games through, where they cost 30$, usually takes awhile through, because again unlike Sony games, Nintendo games usually hit the 5mil+ mark, while Sony can only do that with maybe uncharted and god of war?

>>385095134
You embody his opinion pretty well through.

>>385094706
You keep writing the same thing over and over ignoring any argument or simply not understanding it. This thread is a waste of time.

That answer is the one most of us gave to you. You were literally told multiple times that the Switch is new and that you should wait for a bigger library. But OP's argument was never about why you should hold off on newer, more expensive consoles with current libraries that are smaller than last gen consoles. You just wanted to shitpost about Nintendo and try and justify the Vita using a disingenous as fuck comparison between library sizes. Sonybros are the fucking babbies here, crying false equivalence and then trying to blame others for it.

>>385095216
None of that changes the fact that Sony has better sales. As for the 30 dollar claim, pretty much every single PS4 game will hit that price within 2 years, and typically at around a year.

>>385095292
>I can read the mind and motivations of other people, despite the fact that OP repeatedly claimed he was hoping that someone would bring out things he didn't already mention, and thanked the people who did.

and that how I left the thread, thinking about the Vita before the 3DS, you can tell the OP is an autistic sony manchild the moment he mentions it.

>>385095485
OP mentioned he already owned a 3DS. See:>>385084671

>>385095427
When you repeatedly misread and ignore people's arguments and repeat the same thing over and over for the sake of your obtuse and dishonest comparison while shitting on Nintendo fans, it's not hard to figure out what your motivations are. OP didn't create this thread to argue that you shouldn't buy new consoles, it was specifically aimed at the switch while trying to justify the vita.

>>385082485
>a Vita, a 64GB memory card
I'd rather buy two Switches than a single PS Vita memory card.
I have a 8 GB one that came with the system, and even though swapping stuff in and out has been a pain I'll be damned before I buy another one.
Meanwhile my Switch uses a 64 GB microSD that I bought for about as much as Sony demands for a fucking 8 GB one.

>>385095641
Why? When you find those memory cards in the store, they are massively discounted. I snagged a 64GB memory card for 20 bucks, which is on par for what a micro SD card sells for.

>>385095485
I have a 3ds and a vita. I haven't touched my 3ds in a year. I'm playing my vita right now.

A lot of the games.on the 3ds don't appeal to me that much. I basically only have animal crossing, smash Bros, link between worlds and Pokémon X, and a handful of sega 3d classics.

>>385095825
>Finding anything ps vita in any store

I can't even find used vita games in my local used game stores.

>>385095894
Then you missed your golden window. I got my 64GB card at the beginning of 2017. That said, you might find some at your Wal-mart's clearance aisle.

>Why should you buy a Switch in 2017? You should buy a Vita!

Thread in a nutshell.

>>385095937
Correct. There is a very narrow set of reasons (weebshit and/or indies) to get a Vita in 2017, but if you fall into that set, you're gonna be happier than a pig in shit.

The Switch, meanwhile, doesn't have any real reason to buy, unless you consider "A single action-adventure game, a single racing game, a single fighting game, and a single shooter, all made by the same developer," to be a set of reasons.

Hasn't that been the primary reason to buy any Nintendo console for the last 15 years? Just replace the genres.

I'd say since the Wii, but that's not even 11 years old.

But the Vita doesn't have any games. Hell, the Switch has a greater library than the PS4 once 2017 is over.

Refute by what? A post that said the exact same things as the other post?
People have tried to explain the most basic shit to you, you're too thick to grasp it.

>>385098157
>Refute by what?
Kind of the point. You can't refute it. You can only say, "It's not fair to compare it. Not fair, guys. Guys, it's not fair! I'm gonna tell mom that you aren't being fair!"

They are both for sale. They are both handhelds. It is entirely fair to compare the two.

>>385098280
It's not a fair comparision though. One handheld has been out for less than 6 months, the other has been out for over 6 YEARS. Trying to argue that a handheld has no appeal because it hasn't gotten 7 years worth of games in less than 5 months is beyond retarded. You've been refuted by multiple posts which you never addressed and just continued shitposting.

You can't expect someone to take a time machine a few years into the future. People need to decide based on what's available at the time they are wanting to make the purchase. You can say its not fair all you want. Life isn't fair.

Wait, let me get this right. You think people should buy a dead handheld instead of getting a Switch which will get Dragon Quest, tons of Japanese support, and all Nintendo games?

>>385098635
See what I mean? You're not even reading the posts you reply to. Just plowing through to repeat yourself over and over and over again ad nasuem. Your entire argument is based on criticizing the switch for being out for less time than a 7 year old console.

At this point you deserve nothing but insults.

>>385098737
It's not dead. Games are still being released for it, and games that are already released are getting updates. Will it be dead in a year or two? Maybe. But it is equally possible that the Switch won't have the indie games OP was looking for throughout the entirety of its life. "Interested" isn't "working on."

>>385098842
"It's not fair," isn't a legitimate reply. It's whining.

>>385098886
"Nintendo" isn't really a genre, unlike weebshit and indies. It's one producer putting out a bunch of different genres, and for each genre you aren't into, you lose a huge percentage of available games.

>>385098635
>You can say its not fair all you want. Life isn't fair.

Come on now. If you google Vita all you get is videos why it failed and why it sucks. Even a Sony guy said the Switch was better and "carries on the Vita's spirit" or something like that. When the company itself admits they fucked up you know it's dead.

>>385082485

>>385098898
You don't have a legitimate argument.
All you're doing is shitposting, ignoring actual points and whining that a recently released handheld doesn't have as many games as one from last gen. Stop wasting our time.

>>385098930
You're asking someone to invest for completely untapped potential, implicitly hinting that all these things MIGHT come out EVENTUALLY because some people said they were "interested," as opposed to shit that has already released. Then, when someone points out as much, you cry foul. The reality is what it is. If you think reality is unfair, fine.

>>385098979
It's dead when very few/no games or updates are coming down the pipe. There's still plenty of games releasing all the time. They may not interest you, but they are there, and, as I've said before, if you are interested in the types of games that have come out and are slated to come out, you'll be happier than a pig in shit. Nobody said that the Switch doesn't have the potential to surpass the Vita, or any other console. That doesn't mean that potential will be realized as a matter of course.

Vita is cheap but it's dead, if you want a system to play right now I wouldn't even recommend that, there are plenty of older handheld systems with better battery lifes, larger libraries and greater games, I wouldn't recommend a Switch now either, but it will be the best system of this generation so eventually sure, unless you are a max pleb and simultaneously don't own a PC capable of running current games and actually want to play most AAA trash, hey enjoy Mass Effect Andromeda, and Overwatch.

>>385085226
>pokken
>ubisoft rabbidz shit

As a switch owner I seriously hope you don't buy this shit

>>385099116
The legitimate argument is that IF you want weebshit or indie games on a handheld, the Vita is a better buy than the Switch at this point in time. The Switch has potential that is completely untapped, and there is no guarantee that it will be tapped. You can throw up the defense that the Switch hasn't been on the market for as long, but that doesn't change anything in the present.

>>385098929
>It's one producer putting out a bunch of different genres
Which have more than enough of a narrow appeal to those who bought the Switch. You don't get to decide they suddenly don't count for the purposes of shitposting.
>and for each genre you aren't into, you lose a huge percentage of available games.
Why the fuck would you care if you're not into those genres?

You're literally defending the vita for having narrow appeal while dismissing the switch for having narrow appeal. You can't have it both ways.

>>385099268
Rabbidz actually looks fun, I don't know about Pokken, I don't play fighting games.

I'm looking forward it to replace vita, but being nintendo early adopter is suffering.

>>385099301
No, I'm not defending either. "Games made by Nintendo" is not a genre. If you don't like a single game on the Switch, there goes, what, a quarter of its library? A sixth?

Meanwhile, if you don't like weebshit, there goes half the Vita's library, but if you like weebshit, but just dislike one game, there goes, what, 0.1 percent of the library.

That's the difference.

>>385099174
>It's dead when very few/no games or updates are coming down the pipe.
Okay, but even if that's what you think then you know games are getting cancelled for the Vita and guess where they go instead? PS4 and Switch. 3DS killed the Vita so Sony fled the scene and your argument boils down to "muh potential that Switch probably/likely/might not get better games." Switch is quite literally the only option on the market right now. If you wanna buy a Vita you gotta buy it from Japan. And are we really going to pretend Switch doesn't have any games? It has Zelda, Mario Kart, Arms, indie stuff, Fate Extella, Disgaea 5, Splatoon 2, and many more coming very soon. I'm sorry but the Vita loses in every way because all of its games are coming to Switch anyway. Nintendo has a monopoly on the handheld market again and their increased sales will mean more games. It's as simple as that. The Vita is also inferior in hardware and doesn't have enough buttons.

I wasn't aware of indie games and weebshit getting canceled for the Vita. Got a source for that?

>>385099283
you can't make an argument using terms like indie and weebshit which are nothing but vague. Your argument is basically buy a Vita because it has this game you want on it and the Switch doesn't. Which really isn't an argument at all.

>>385099518
>No, I'm not defending either
You were just defending the Vita based on its narrow appeal.

Nintendo's games using their IPs have just as much if not more appeal than the weebshit and indie games that you'd buy a Vita to play. Nintendo latest console has been available for much less time than Sony's older, last gen handheld. Which is why the Swtich has less games to choose from.

That's the difference.

>>385099603
>Your argument is basically buy a Vita because it has this game you want on it and the Switch doesn't.
No, my argument is basically, "buy a Vita IF (not because) you happen to like either of these two genres, because they have a shit ton of both, but very little of anything else. Don't buy a Switch YET unless you like the entirety of their very limited library."

>still gets presents for his birthday

>>385099716
>That's the difference.
Ok. But that does not guarantee that there will be the games that OP wanted on that system in the future. It is entirely possible that it could wind up as another Wii U. Yes, the Switch has a lot of potential. But potential is not always fulfilled.

>>385082485
It's just a gimmick, that is all Nintendo does shitty gimmicks and nostalgia

>>385099283
>>385099174
The Switch's potential has been partially tapped, it has more confirmed upcoming games than the Vita does. Literally your entire argument is based on the Switch not being out as long as the Vita. "Reality is unfair" does not justify your disengeous comparison

This is pretty much the case for the Vita. The games that are releasing for it were announced months if not years ago, the only upcoming game anyone could mention ITT was Undertale, which is a 2 year old indie PC port

>>385099837
Which one of the games that OP listed is coming out on the Switch? Keep in mind that "Interested" devs mean nothing.

>>385083576
Not an argument

>>385099909
Did I say the games OP listed were specifically the ones coming?
Those games are either already on the Vita or coming out very soon. Long-term the Vita has nothing going for it, just accept it and move on.

>>385099890
More than 50 games dropped so far this year, with more coming through the end of the year. It's not exactly on the same stage as the PS3 or Wii U, where nothing comes out for months and months, with a final game being shat out long after all other support died.

>>385099825
Then don't buy it until you think it has the games you want. Simple as that. We've fucking said this dozens of times already and you still aren't satisfied for whatever reason.

Do you have any argument against the switch other than "It's newer so it has less game right now and might bomb"?

>>385100050
>with more coming through the end of the year

Such as? And what about next year?

>It's not exactly on the same stage as the PS3

The PS3 had much healthier support than the Vita did at the end of its life time.

>>385100090
I'm not OP. Near as I can tell, he bailed out after >>385086679

>>385082485

>>385088494

>>385100194
Called what? That someone would bring up the number of games released this year to defend the claim that it's dead? If so, that's an entirely reasonable prediction to make.

>>385100241
Called the fact that this thread is just vitafags throwing a tushy tantrum because the Switch is getting more hype than their handheld on life support.

Do you have any arguments to get the Switch other than "What you want might come out in the future?"

>>385100441
I'm not. If you don't like those genres, you won't be happy with the Vita. I don't see how that is a defense. I see it more as an accurate description of what it offers.

>>385100528
>I'm not defending the vita

>It has More than 50 games dropped so far this year, with more coming through the end of the year!

lol

Switch was released only 4 months ago anon.

>>385100493
It is your argument though. You have yet to make a single criticism of the Switch that isn't based on the fact it's a new console.

Nowhere ITT did I ever argue you should get the switch.

>>385100618
Meh, think what you want. But if the Vita is dropping more than a game every single week this year, and is dead, than what does that make the Switch?

>>385100710
Good, then we are on the same page. He shouldn't get the Switch and should only get the Vita if he really likes at least one of the 2 genres that are available on the Vita in spades.

>>385099732
Are you actually so retarded that you think anyone here is delusional enough to not realize the Vita is for weebshit and indie ports?
What is the point of this fucking thread?

>>385100765
The fact that you still think OP made this thread to genuinely ask for advice between which console to get and not to just shitpost Vita's superiority is just hilarious.

>>385100848
Have you bothered to read the thread in response to OP, and what he said he wanted? This entire thread has been, in my experience, "The Vita only has what it has because the Switch didn't exist!" as if this somehow has justifies the purchase of a Switch today.

>>385100882
>It's literally ok when Nintendo does it.
Figured. You wouldn't recommend that OP pick up the Vita when it first launched, when it was competing with the 3DS (as well as the PSP). But somehow, it is unfair to leverage the same charge at the Nintendo console.

Nobody said this though. People are just rightfully pointing out that the Switch has less games because it's only been out for a few months, compared to the years the Vita has had. Your reading comprehension is terrible.

>>385101101
Neat. But OP is asking which is the better console to purchase at the moment, and expressed an interest in indie games.

Looking for the games he's interested in being on the switch either leads to petitions or articles where the devs of said game "express interest." Which isn't a promise to make it. Therefore, for OP, at this moment in time, the Vita is the better option for him.

Well it has better games in its first 4 months than other consoles did in that same amount of time. Also the Vita came out only a few months after the 3DS, it wasn't being compared to consoles from 7 years prior. So yeah, it's unfair to leverage the lack of a huge library against any recently released console.

Your post just proves you're here to shitpost about Nintendo and defend the Vita, you're not interested in any good faith discussion.

It was literally the argument that you could get the entire PSP library, as well as the NES, SNES, GB, and GBA library, as well as part of the PS1 library for free. I think you're being disingenuous if you don't think that part of that argument wasn't the number of games you could play on it.

>>385087069
I completely agree. We shouldn't buy consoles early, so there will be more incentive for the company selling said console to pay studios to make games.

>>385101693
Not who you were responding to, but I can't tell if you're being serious, or sarcastic and stupid.

>>385101563
I think you're being disingenuous if you think the appeal of hackability and getting games for free is the same argument as the number of games the Vita had on release compared to PSP games over the course of its entire generation.
Nobody was arguing that you shouldn't get a Vita at launch just because the PSP had a bigger library. Nobody was asking What's the point of the Vita? and that it had completely untapped potential that would never be realized.

>>385086552
