Sorry if it seemed like I was challenging your ability to dislike the system. You can dislike it for whatever reasons you want. Mine situation isn't your situation.
Pretty much. The thing about a lot of the Switch issues is that they are rather situational - this isn't to discredit the views of those affected by the issues (they're still issues), but it doesn't affect me so I'm still going to buy one - for example, the online thing is something I couldn't care less about because I don't think I've ever (besides Kid Icarus Uprising) played a Nintendo game's online multiplayer.
Well I mean beyond the online issues there's the issue of it only have 32gb storage (I still don't understand that decision.) and costing $299 without a game.
If it gets a decent xenoblade bundle, that's probably how I'm going to end up getting it.
Storage space - I buy all my games as physical copies so that doesn't affect me. It's the same storage as the Wii U and that was never a problem (also with Nintendo consoles you can always just use an SD card to add extra space and you can get them fairly cheap so it's not a huge issue either way). Again, I'm not saying it isn't a legitimate issue, but it will not affect me, so I'm still getting the console for sure.
As for the price, isn't $299 actually very cheap for a brand new console with controller? It's $100 cheaper than the PS4 and controller at launch, and $200 cheaper than the Xbox One, controller and Kinect at launch. The console price is actually really good (the game and extra controller prices however are less so).
Tbh if you're buying consoles for launch titles, graphics, and entertainment apps, you may as well just upgrade your PC since it can do all that and more
Also as much as Nintendo consoles have technically worse graphics, Nintendo first party games' art design and ability to use their consoles limited capabilities is absolutely fantastic - Mario Kart 8 was one of the best looking games of the generation in my opinion (and ran at 720p/60fps which isn't bad for a console), and SSB4 looked pretty great and ran at 1080p/60fps which most console games could barely dream of.
I'll admit, I'm basically only buying the Switch for the exclusives, and that's what I did with the Wii U, but from my view I don't really see home consoles as having any significant appeal beyond that (though handhelds are a different kettle of fish entirely).

Comparing the launch price to the PS4 and Xbox One's launch price is completely irrelevant because it's not entering the marketplace in 2013 alongside the PS4 and Xbox One, it's entering it in 2017. At launch in 2017 it will be more expensive than a base PS4 and Xbox One and won't match it in power.

Okay...
But their first party offerings dont even seem strong?
Mario Zelda and seemingly a big middle finger is what is on the horizon
Davsto. You need to understand that like this first phase means a lot. Wii U died about 3 months in and everyone knew it. If this thing doesn't get traction relatively quickly, it very likely will die and get neglected just like Wii U.
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

It's not a holiday launch window. Expecting a holiday launch window amount of titles is silly. Compare it to the 3ds's starting library (which also launched in march). I think the 3ds's was considerably worse.
just popping in to say that splatoon 2 for 360$ seems like a great deal tbh
i enjoyed my time on the wii u and got a lot of use out of it, my ps3 is gathering dust since i built my pc and ps4/xbone also pales in comparison
i'm not a graphicsfag or anything (i liked the wii u and am buying a switch lmao), i just don't see the point
i really hope the switch takes off, as great as a lot of these games look without a solid base the console will just fall apart
we need more good games, that's all
