I'm having thoughts of picking one up and would like to hear from resident /K Nintendo experts if it is a good idea for where it is at in the product cycle.
If so, what initial games would you recommend as I am thinking of starting with 2 - 3?

Thanks folks for your views. Zelda is definitely a first day pick.
It's going to be more of a family platofrm than a personal.

Switch is for family and multiplayer fun. Plenty of 4 players game, plenty of havoc and fun

If want solo and nice graphics buy ps5  or xbox

4 player games for family. Meaning you need 4 Switches?

No lah, just 4 controllers. Super Smash Bros Ultimate can be up to 6 or 8 players. Can't remember.

Ah, thank you for the input.
For the controllers, do you recommend the controller like the PS version or the joycons? Total newbie here.

Also I remember having fun on the Wii before. Sports available on the Switch?

As above.

I throughly recommed you get at least 1 Nintendo original Pro controllers. It's really good and you will want to play it with BOTW.
If you like some retro games, can get an 8bitDo controller that styled like MegaDrive/Genesis controller. Perfect for Street Fighter.

Like i said earlier, Switch Sports is coming soon this year, you can watch the latest Nintendo Direct on Youtube.

So joyconn gives you 2 controllers. Buy 1 Nintendo Pro Controller. Buy 1 8bitDo or Mayflash adapter for all the other controllers you have lying in the house.

This will gives you 4 controllers already.

What I can gather so far is...

- The controllers that come attached to the Switch OLED are actually already 2 joyconn controllers that can be used independently.
- Adding 1 Nintendo Pro Controller makes it 3 in total (which should be enough for my purposes.

As for games, is it better to buy digitally or physical?

I'm just have to tell you that it's well known that Switch's games are generally more expensive and ports perform worse than Playstation and PC games. Even the 2nd hand games are still expensive compared to Playstation's.

Thanks. My intention right now to access to Nintendo exclusives.
I have a huge library of PC games that I cannot finish.

Ok, then settle jor controller. But honestly, joyconn sucks. I hate it. kecian the person kena bashed later using joyconn when another guy using Pro Controller...unfair advantage...LOL

For me, if those multiplayer games you will always play like SmashBros, Mario Kart, example, buy Digital. For those RPGs or once completed you will never play again (or unlikely to play), buy physical so can resell later. Nintendo games got high RV unlike PS games which turns dirt cheap fast.

If you are not planning to sell then just buy digital games as they are way cheaper than physical games, especially during sales.

I don't intend to resell anything so from what I hear, digital is the way to go.
So get the Switch and controllers.
Setup at home and create account (I'm guessing).
Update payment information and start buying games from Digital Store.
Download and start playing.

Got a rough idea now.

Oh...forgot...must big the biggest microSD card you can find. Especially if you are fully Digital. Nothing less than 500GB. Preferably 1TB. I use 200GB myself. Mixture of physical and digital.

I had thought the Switch would have come with internal storage. Thanks for the tip.
I'll probably grab a 512GB or 1TB micro SD. Any micro SD would do and doesn't need to be a Nintendo specific one right?

Is Nintendo Switch Online a subscription service?

Yes.

Would you recommend it being a subscription service?
Or would first timers opt out and decide later?

Bought it today. Found myself playing it as a console hooked up to the TV rather than as a handheld device. We'll see in the coming days.

Out of all the upcoming titles, I'm looking forward to the Sports.

Any update, is your purchase worth it?

Yes, worth it.
Half the time playing as console on the TV. Kids are into the Pokemon series, I'm midway through Zelda. Looking forward to the Switch Sports release in late Apr. Tha's the one I'm thinking will bring most family fun.
