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.)

Lol, the sensible thing to do would be to wait until the price drop as Maxsoft begins to unbundle the system with the games and until Nintendo irons out the day one issues with the system. That way you might get a better deal and more games to play down the road, but I bet you already knew that and are only here looking for support for an impulsive purchase wink.gif

Edit: Which I support btw! Go buy the Switch! Or there will always be a void in your heart smile.gif

Edit2: Or you could try this to pass the time...

I think those who bought it are the wrong person to ask. You need to weight it in yourself. Most if not all would say worth it.......they already bought it, of course worth it. smile.gif For me why I bought it? Because of Zelda and in the future I am looking forward to Splatoon, Mario, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest.........and so on. I am a handheld gamer and I would like to have something more powerful than the 3DS. Vita was great but games wise for me at least not really cutting it as I only played a few games the best is Persona Golden, Uncharted and FF for me.....while on the 3DS its my go to handheld where ever I go. I never played PC games actively, the only games I played on the PC are strategy games like x-com. The reason I get a console is for RPG or JRPG.

I'm similar to you, mostly playing strategy games on PC, while I have a 3DS mainly for Pokemon and Fire Emblem, other than that it's sitting under the dusts... that's why I'm having second thoughts...

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  doh.gif

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  notworthy.gif

IKR, when my friend told me the system now doesn't have much feature I'm a little dissapointed, but I'm sure Nintendo will pushing updates soon. *finger crossed. I like the 12 switch as I could play with my gf or friends, but again, have to admit most of the time it will be solely used for single players games on the go. Zelda is awesome, I saw the Dragon Quest 11 will release for switch too? I think I'll get it if there are some good RPG/JRPG and POKEMON.

Sorry I'm a pokemon fan.
