Hey guys, wanna ask those who bought it, is it worth buying the console now? My friend got it and I get to try, love the versatility of the system, and I like this Zelda game, but the lack of games release and pricing is really drawing me back from getting it so soon, but I'm so tempted! So any advice? (I'm a pc gamer... so the pricing of console games are a huge shock to me, and switch games seems more like indie games other than AAA titles.)
i think there is no harm / loss of opportunity if you can hold your desire a bit longer as the system is just 4/5 days old. there is still minor issue that early adopters need to handle / take the risk and issues that still need to be addressed by nintendo. maybe in one or two months, system will be better and stable for you to purchase it. and perhaps, you will get the option of buying the console only. at the moment, it was bundled together with other things and thus, increasing the price. another thing though, MYR value also play some part in this. cannot do much as our currency weaken so much all these while
i am also in the same boat with you with respect to the pricing of this console. but still, i made the jump and purchase it. i am tempted with the portability of the system and the uniqueness of its gameplay. besides, the ability to play games with my daughter is also one of my consideration. hopefully when mario cart 8 was released, she will be interested with that as well. at the moment, 1-2 Switch is the go-to games with her.
quite agree that nintendo switch titles are more like indie game. at the moment, zelda is definitely not an indie title. looking into the list of soon to be released games, i think there is quite a few good non-indie games coming. skyrim 5, dragon quest 11, xenoblade...
at the moment, i am quite lucky with my purchase. no over-heating and joycon de-syncing issues. my gripe so far is that i think the console can perform much more things, maybe at the same level as PSP. however, at the moment, the console can only play games and access eshop. at the very least, it should have music player, online browser, movie player, etc..
just my 2 cents
