    Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

    I was sold on my purchase the first time booting up Zelda in handheld mode. I did not expect the game to look so good on a handheld device. Entering the Great Plateau for the first time. Man, jaw meet floor.

      Now to me, it's overpriced in the sense it needs a bit more offered to get it to be worth $299. A bundled game that's desirable would probably get me there, although lets be honest, pound for pound it's still not on the same level as an Xbox One or a PS4.

      Also, for me it's overpriced because the portability isn't something I desire. That's just me though, that may offer a lot of value for other folks.
      But they both do different things. The XB1 isn't mobile. For someone like me, I don't need a UHD player..ever. So that's a useless feature that I'm now paying for, same as you may feel the tablet part of the Switch is useless or whatever. The controllers are more expensive, but you can play multiplayer out of the box day 1 without buying a single other thing since the JoyCon's split into 2 controllers. The controllers themselves are $10 more than PS4/Xb1 controllers (MSRP) so I can't completely kill them for that.

      I didn't think I would, but I love the system. It's basic, it needs updates and some fast (being able to back up save files), but I'm impressed that I have a tablet that plays Nintendo games and it can be on the go.

        This is why I want one...plus Mario Kart is amazing multiplayer, and I bet my wife might like Splatoon....we'll see

        Also, you have to realize that Nintendo isn't going for hyper-realistic graphics...they never will...the games will look great but not be competing with Xbox or PS4 on that end.

          Yeah, nothing you say is wrong but I'm just saying in general most people are going to view it as a console that is comparable to the consoles we already have out there. They all three do some different things and some do them better than others but just in general they all will be viewed competing with one another.

          And yes, I'm sure I would view it differently if I did travel some and had the ability to play Zelda on a handheld or such, and you know what, I may even love that feature if/when I get a switch. But I thought I'd use the handheld aspect to the Wii U (playing at home I mean) but never really used it.

          But yes, for those who travel and want to game on the go, I'm sure it'll be viewed in a much different light than a home gamer like myself. The thing is though, most people will use it in a traditional sense on a home tv.

            I think we all realize that but sometimes I wish they would. Or heck, if they do get out of hardware and license their games to others, maybe that might be a huge upside to that route...imagine a game like Zelda made by Nintendo playing on a PS4 Pro? OMFG...

              I don't know. Zelda is one of the best looking games this gen IMO. Again. It's not HZD realism but like I said before, the game is gorgeous on the Switch both docked and hand held.

              I took my Switch to work today and played it on lunch. Then did 1-2 Switch with a few people after a meeting. Everyone was hooked.

                I want to bring my switch to work with me but if the kids see it they're gonna hound me to play it during their free time and if I play it on my lunch I might lose track of time with how awesome it feels to game on the system. I would be lying if I said there weren't times when I was duty free and thought "wish I could Zelda it up right now.

                      I applied this scene protector today. It's under $10 on Amazon. Their install technique worked perfect. No bubbles at all either. The screen looks beautiful and zero concerns about scratches now.

                            For cost saving measures, drop by a local dollar tree (or even 99 cent only store), and some type of screen protector is usually/likely available.
