Anybody playing the Nintendo Switch?


Recommended Posts

It seems alright. I like the fact that, unlike the cumbersome flawed design of the Wii U, its a little bit sleeker and you have the ability to take it anywhere you want.

 

Not to mention a big winner for me with the system comes with the beautiful looking new Zelda game and the fact that both new Dragon Quest rpgs are coming to the system

as well as Dragon Quest Warrior: 1 & 2.

 

So who has it? Is it worth the cash...or is it buggy or overhyped?

 

 

Love to know.

It's definitely a bit undercooked. Apps like Netflix, Virtual Console, etc are not ready at launch. For most people the launch lineup is basically just Zelda(although Bomberman, Fast RMX, and Blaster Master Zero are some other games I'm getting), also it's weaker than other current gen consoles but I'm guessing you know that already. You can tell Nintendo really wanted to rush it out by the end of the fiscal year.  However if you have the cash and really want to play Zelda(and don't have a Wii U of course) it's not likely that the console will be any cheaper in six months. I could see it maybe be bundled with 1,2 Switch by the holidays at best.

Personally, I'm looking forward to some of the other games that have been mentioned, although I'll pass on Skyrim - If I really wanted to play that in higher quality I'd just download it on the PC. Nintendo has been known for the past 10 years for being way behind the curve as far as capable technology, but for a solid mobile gaming system that is also much like the Wii in its motion control, at least from what I've seen with 1, 2, Switch, and the fact that it has pretty much the same tech as the Wii U without sucking nearly as hard, I'd say it wins as far as innovation; which is fine by me. Graphics tech isn't the most important think to me. So as far as a new console to get for 1080p gaming console, it might be a toss up between the Switch and the PS4.
