I was pretty hyped for this and will get one but not sure if getting it on launch/near leaunch anymore. Are they even doing preorders? I haven't really been following any news about it tbh. Also, I need to figure out what accessories to buy and shit because I would like to buy this with some intention of it being a fun game to play with people over and assuming the bundle won't come with too many controllers and stuff.
But yeah it looks sick. I get an hour break at work and typically I play about 40 minutes or so of my 3DS and hoping I can do the same with the tablet part of the Switch
It could have been one of the GREATEST pieces of hardware in the history of gaming...alas, they have rushed it into development way too soon.
The concept...GREAT, the hybrid aspect...GREAT, the depth of classics to revisit...OBVIOUSLY GREAT, the quality...GREAT (I know a Nintendo DEV and he assured me as much) and then when you look at the actual system...
...again, it truly seems rushed.
Had they refined and refined things...it wouldn't have taken a long time to address the lack of memory, and of course, they could've implemented PASCAL....................
Had they waited until more games were available at launch...then the HYPE behind it (they've done a GREAT job at marketing compared to the Wii U) would've been satisfied and THEN SOME.
Also, I'll say it again: I think that it should have been marketed as a handheld system FIRST AND FOREMOST...because due to the rushed nature, (the pro controller doesn't even have analog triggers...) they could've have gone back to the CONSOLE drawing board in case of failure.
That said, for all of Nintendo's faults, (of which there are...many) they're still...NINTENDO, and I root for them.
I want The Switch to succeed, but to think what could have been.................
I mean, it's CRIMINAL not to have a MARIO game and a POKEMON game available at launch...
Anyway.
WAR Zelda!
