Nintendo Switch Discussion

[Marino]

I will probably get it because my wife loves a lot of the Nintendo franchises and I know that we would both get good use out of it.

I'll take a wait and see approach. Nintendo hasn't made me interested in a long time. Nice concept but, I need to see how it goes.

Switch makes sense for me as I've flirted with the idea of purchasing a Wii U or 3DS for some time now. My needs are pretty simple. Want to play Mario and Zelda games again. Last Nintendo console I owned was a GameCube so it has been a while. Another reason would be my daughter taking notice of iPad gaming. Nintendo Switch could be perfect for her in year or two if that interest remains or expands.

Day one purchase for me if the price falls between $249.99 and $349.99.

Yeah my wife loves Nintendo too, esp Mario games..and I want to buy this but man, speaking of the wife if it does come out at $300 it'll be a tough sell.

I wonder if its time to box up the Wii U and see what I can get out of it to sell to put towards this and make sure to notify her the money is going to the Switch??

Pretty much the same boat, but minus the kid.

The last Nintendo I owned was a Wii and I loved it - especially the Virtual Console/GameCube BC functions. Super Mario Galaxy is still one of the best games I've played in the last 10 years.

Hopefully this releases with a good amount of Virtual Console games plus Zelda and I will be set.

I've never been the kind of guy that can pack my PS4 with me on a trip. Not feasible. No assurances I'll have a TV to connect to. Etc.

But I also miss out on gaming days. And it always happens after a major release I've waited for. Game comes out and Thursday I'm on a business trip.

With this, I could easily pack the console and game and play on the plane, hotel, downtime without lugging a huge console around or hoping a legit TV exists in the hotel room (seriously why can't hotels get their act together? And this also goes to five star ones)

Considering my wife is using the ps4 more and more to watch Netflix (which I'm very okay with), being able to play console games like Skyrim (or similar) on a portable device would be clutch.

I'm in on this so long as it's a viable option if I can't game on my PS4. I realize certain consoles have exclusives so I'm not expecting The Show or Red Dead. But it better get comparable gaming or Nintendo is quite literally dead.
