Is the Switch worth it?

See title. Switch worth it? Which games are worth it?

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

If you have a Wii-U, not at the moment.

If you don't have a Wii-U, it might be a good investment since that's the system Nintendo and other devs are currently going to make games on.

Your choice really, lol.

$400 for Zelda...your call

[Charu]

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

Not just for Zelda, just saying investment-wise, if you like Nintendo products and like what they've showed thus far for their future games on the Switch, then go for it.

If not, and you have a Wii-U, just buy Zelda on that console if that's one of your motivations. It's the same game with differences being very negligible.

as someone who spends a sizable chunk of their waking hours on the toilet, yes

also BotW has been nothing short of jaw-droppingly amazing so far

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

Admittedly, I wanted to get the Switch when it launched, but there was no place in stock. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise, because maybe combo deals might happen for when I eventually do buy it.

That's another factor to consider I suppose if you're debating on getting it now or later.

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

Yeah, Zelda alone isn't worth $400 to me -- what other games coming up are worthwhile?

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

Worth it? Yes. Worth buying now? Not from what I've seen.

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

Will probably wait until they work out the kinks and stuff isn't constantly sold out. Not really a fan of the "lol dead pixels are okay!" explanation

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

BotW has so far been amazing to me, it's mindblowing that it's technically a handheld open world rpg at this point, so many small details and stuff that just makes it so good

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

It's not a good investment because there is a price cut to be expected. Just throwing that out there. I'll wait until 2018 at least for sure.

Careful, the Wii-U had been out 4 years without any noticeable price cut for the system itself. Combo deals on the other hand...

Not yet.

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

nah

definitely not worth buying at launch. give it a look in like 6 months~a year and see what's coming up

i'm considering it for the part of me that doesn't want a home console but it's not worth yet

Re: Is the Switch worth it?

Most the time I only end up buying a console for just 1 or a few games. In my case, it's not worth it.

If you're unsure about purchasing it, you could wait a few months for the console to mature.
