It can wait. absolutely you should do more research. you'll get it if you want to play those exclusive games, that's what it boils down to. online would only matter if you would want to play Smash Bros online, because I doubt there are people here trying to play Arms and Splatoon 2 online.

It can wait. It's all the truth and Jerry would have you believe otherwise, and I know it sounds negative but again it's the truth. I don't know what your gaming situation is but I own all four platforms (Wii U included) as I'm sure you're aware, and I haven't purchased a game for Switch since Super Mario Oddesey came out so that's 13 months ago, and it's the only "Switch game" I own, I had BotW on Wii U already so that's another title neutered for it. It's been a Wii U and last generation port fest with a few okay games thrown in the mix thst still didn't push me into purchasing them. I don't know how you feel about that but for me at least the system has been a great disappointment. In light of what else I own it doesn't even have multiplats to fall back on not to mention it barely gets any AAA/AA games and the third party ones it does both look and run like shit. If I were you I would wait until next year and survey the landscape, see what they have available then and see if they've come down in price. Edited November 25, 2018 by DynamiteCop!

Yeah. I really like Odyssey, and BOTW looks cool. As for online, I really wanna play Dark Souls coop. Mario Kart and Smash bros online don't sound too bad either. Nintendo has always sucked with online from what I've known, but do they at least track stats in Smash Bros or competitive games like that? 16 minutes ago, DynamiteCop! said: It's all the truth and Jerry would have you believe otherwise, and I know it sounds negative but again it's the truth.

I don't mind the last gen titles being ported since they're new to me. I don't really follow the gaming scene as much and don't like the DLC and infinite milking. I was hoping the switch presents an alternative to the big system.s Seems like every single nintendo console has the problems you describe tbh. I remember gamecube sometimes was an even worse draught. Imagine the same thing but without Breath of the Wild, Odyssey, or even the multiplats. I.e. literally nothing. Compared to that draught you just described an oasis. also how the fuck do you afford online gaming on all the consoles. That's like $100 a year just to use what you already own (internet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,917 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Wait for the remodel next year. Great library of games if you enjoy Nintendo first party and unique exclusives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,257 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Oh shit... DynamiteCop actually takes this SW stuff to heart. This fool is out here trying to dissuade people from purchasing a Switch..... this guy is a sad fuck for reals @SheepKilla if the system has games that you want to play.. then get it..... if it doesn't...then Don't... its as simple as that.

SheepKilla 473 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 @Goukosan Im trying to do research to figure out if it's a good buy. Hence me posting here. I've been burned too many times by Nintendo already to not do my research and know exactly what I'm buying and what kind of features all the games have. I'm also making a list of games to check out & look into. Care to contribute? This is what I have so far: -Dark Souls -Diablo 3 -Breath of the Wild -Odyssey -Xenoblade 2 -Mario Kart -Super Smash Bros You gave some really good suggestions for my Wii emulator a year ago, so let's see what you got. My main criterion is fun and addictiveness BTW. (@ Cows, Hermits, and Lemmings: i'm trying to play games and not movies.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,729 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Switch is a very expensive console, games are expensive, you need to buy a lot of accessories. But it's worth it as a side system for exclusives imo. 2019 will probably have Fire Emblem Three Houses, Metroid Prime, Bayonetta 3 and other surprises. Totally worth it.

"I'm an expert................I bought all the platforms" [Proceeds to downplay BOTW on switch because a significantly worse, lower framerate version exists on Wii U and he PURPOSELY played it on that so that he can pretend that the Switch doesn't deserve credit for that game] Somebody fanboy'ing so hard that they FORCE themselves to play significantly worse versions of games to deny credit where it is due.

Owning all platforms has nothing to do with being an "expert" and everything to do with platform viability leveraged against each other. Owning a Wii U the Switch is less viable as most of its notable games are in fact Wii U games. I bought Breath of the Wild on Wii U well before I bought my Switch. Also the framerate is not "significantly worse". The game is fairly stable in general and tanks in rough areas like Kakariko Village when it's raining, the same rough areas the Switch tanks in as well, the drops are just a bit more pronounced on Wii U. That doesn't detract from anything I stated. You're a truly unintelligent human being. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No........he doesn't have a Wii U..............therefore BOTW is a Switch exclusive that is not on any other platform that is currently viable. You PURPOSELY went out of your way to tell your stupid anecdote of somebody who would play BOTW on the Switch in order to basically say that BOTW isn't really a Switch game. It is. The framerate absolutely tanks in the Wii U version, below 20fps. And the Switch version has had patches to provide better performance. You would know this IF....................you were an actual gaming expert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
