So how many of you are buying a Switch on Day One?

1 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-01 01:02
I will definitely get one... Eventually. I gotta play the new Zelda and Mario games. But I still feel a bit cheated having to buy two Ninto systems in just one gen to get all the games I want so I'm waiting for a price drop.

So are you buying on day one?
2 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-01 14:00
Most likely.

The ones defending it all the time won't buy it on day 1 though.

Funny how that works.

Which games are you excited about, >>2?

He's excited about buying it, thinking it's the coolest thing ever then returning it after a week.

Not really.

General, the new Zelda looks really good.
6 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-01 14:01
Yeah it does. And I'm convinced there will be a Metroid within a few years. Ninto won't neglect such a beloved series for two straight consoles.

Red Ring of Death
PS4's Blue Light of Doom
Xbox One eating people's discs
Wii U's 'bricking' update
PS4Pro
Whatever issues the Xbox Scorpio will no doubt have.

Yeah trust me, I'll never buy a console on release again.

I don't know whether I'll get it on Day One, but I've preordered it. I'm quite excited.

The Switch is meant to have the better version of Breath of the Wild - better loading times, audio, resolution and frame rate). I can also play it on the go if I really wanted to.

Since I never bought a Wii U, it's not worth buying one now just for one game, and I'd definitely want the Switch for Super Mario Odyssey later on anyway, so I might as well buy it now.
15 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-01 14:05
Nah.

But to be clear, I have never bought any console or game day 1.
16 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-01 14:05
No, but not for any reason pertaining specifically to the Switch. I don't want to buy any piece of hardware on day one.

Very very good reasons not to buy on release.

You know that most people do not buy things Day One, right...?

Yeah, I have it preordered with Zelda and Bomberman.

Probably never buying a Nintendo "console" again.

I kinda want it for the novelty. But I'll wait. If a new Rune Factory gets announced for it then I'll buy it when that game comes out, otherwise idk, might get it in the summer.
28 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-01 14:08
I never get consoles day 1 (well I did with the SNES but that was the only one). But unless something significant happens the Switch is a definite purchase sometime down the road.

Nah. No interest. Honestly, I'd rather listen to Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa talk about his new plan for economic growth and transition into a more modernized society.

I'm extremely happy you as Irish are slowly becoming a fellow Portuguese.

Buying at launch is for mugs.

So many better things to spend money on than a console with no games.

No u. It's not like Ninty products ever come down in price.
33 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-02 14:12
You're right. What was I thinking...

I'm going to buy one day one and post daily updates on the internet about how much dust it's gathering.

I'll also make sure to tell everyone how much I don't care about it to illustrate that I have disposable income.

And then, when good games do get released, I'll make sure not to buy them because they're not:
A) New IPs
B) New games in an established franchise or;
C) The party games


Thanks for helping me see the light.

You say that, but your mind thought that up.

I'll get a recommendation though, make sure that poor woman of yours gets a thrill for a change.

I might save my money and hopefully buy it when it's not as expensive. I hope to get the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild before hopefully buying the Switch version later on.
60 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:23
Probably not, but I'm reserving the option! I mean, not literally reserving the option, like I didn't preorder it or anything, but just reserving the option in principle.

I actually forgot during the big Switch event that Zelda is also coming out for Wii U, which I already have. So maybe it's silly to let that be my incentive for pulling the trigger on a Switch at launch. Twilight Princess certainly didn't lure me into getting a Wii right away, especially with the whole mirroring the entire game world nonsense.

But then again, the Switch itself is kinda sexy, and I'm nothing if not superficial. Also impulsive. I'm also impulsive. So maybe when the shiny new plaything comes out I will have to get it. Especially if the likes of Sol have the plaything and are gloating about it.

However, there's honestly not much on the immediate horizon that necessitates me getting one, so until some combination of, like, Monster Hunter / Xenoblade 2 / Mario assuming it's even good / etc are released, does it even matter?

In summary: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
61 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:23
Can't wait for Monster Hunter to come out on Switch. Loved MH3U on Wii U...but couldn't play MH4 on the 3DS because I didn't have a New 3DS with that...nubbin and the controls kind of sucked without a second analogue stick...

Bought a Circle Pad Pro to combat the issue but haven't used it yet...
62 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:24
You preordered one just in case something that's tentatively slated for Q4 2017 comes out two months from now as a launch title?

Actually, never mind, that's your prerogative.

65 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:25
is it open world?
66 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:25
Every 3D Mario game since Super Mario 64 has been open world.
67 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:25
Haven't decided yet.

I know I'm going to get it and am pretty excited to get my hands on it but the software line up is rather uninspiring. Debating if I should just get Breath of the Wild on Wii U and wait until Splatoon 2 drops to pick up the Switch.

I Am Setsuna, Has Been Heroes, Fast Racing RMX, Arms, and Snipperclips look like a decent enough time but are hardly a reason to buy a console...with the possible exception of Arms. I'll get 1, 2, Switch for the little one and I'm curious to play Steep...but not sure if I'll do that on the Switch...

The system doesn't look worth the purchase until at least Super Mario Odyssey hits...nearly next year. I doubt we'll see a price drop before then but there might be a $300 Odyssey bundle...

I did manage to get a pre-order...but I don't know if I'll keep it on the Switch. Maybe...
68 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-03 14:26
I'll probably buy the Nintendo Switch only on next Christmas.

I only want to buy it when Super Mario Odyssey is released.

I need more info on street fighter and bomberman but if it is a legit full game co op then yeah I probably will.

Who cares about Switch? It's a joke. More gimmicky stupidity from Ninty. Just make a normal goddamn console like Gamecube, minus the ridiculous controller.
71 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-04 14:27
Since the Switch has been a massive success in pre-orders it's obvious that millions and millions of people do care about the Switch.
