[TransTrender]

Yes, not preordering, but as soon as I can get one at retail.

 

[Labadal]

It's all about the price for me.

 

[GinSama]

Yes day fucking 1!!!

 

[Mithos]

Never in a million year, if what we've heard is all true, and I'm saying that as a NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, Wii U "first" owner (over other consoles at the time).

 

[Danjin44]

I will get it day one, its brand new system they will come with new games, especially from Monolith Soft.

 

[LectureMaster]

Definitely will get it, whether day 1 or not depends on the launch titles.

 

[ANoa]

Preordering as soon as they'll let me.

 

[od-chan]

Depends on how good the next Zelda is and whether or not it at least manages to run at stable 30 ffs (so probably not)

 

[DGrayson]

I skipped the Switch so it's 100% for me. Don't really want to fight to get one though so I hope stock isn't an issue

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Probably day 1. I was about 3-4 years late on the current Switch, but one of the best consoles I've bought in years... really pulled me back in strongly.

 

[Da1337Vinci]

I voted after launch. To wait for more games as well as ironed out issue of first batch of production.

 

[Banjo64]

Think I'll wait for an OLED or a Lite. I'd only take a behemoth like that if it was OLED.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

We know nothing about the games and that's all that matters.

If it doesn't have compelling launch games, no, I'm not getting it day 1

 

[EerieArcade]

Middle poll option - yes, but not at launch. Will see what's released for the system in the first year or so.

 

[Gamer79]

You need a I don't know yet option. I have not seen enough one way or the other.

 

[GateofD]

probably whenever the new zelda or smash is out

 

[DelireMan7]

What do we know ?

Without games a console is nothing.
I buy a console for its games, not the system or brand.

So if some games that I want are exclusive to it I'll take it later.

 

[Gamer79]

If it's a cool device and worth it I will but if it kinda lacks in features and a shitty screen I will hold off for their oled model 2 years down the road.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Day1 if Metroid is a launch title.

 

[deriks]

Chances are that Brazil will get later, so I don't really have a choice

 

[K' Dash]

Nintendo Consoles are the only ones I get day 1 no matter what. The rest can burn in hell.

 

[Markio128]

I think I'm done with Nintendo, so probably not and I haven't been less excited about a new console.

 

[Woopah]

We don't know any exclusive games yet.... how can we make a choice?

 

[Holammer]

nope.
Haven't bought Nintendo hardware since the GC and I'm done with consoles.

 

[HogIsland]

I'm enough of a Nintendo fan that I would buy some of their games on Steam. I'm not going to buy a piece of junk hardware just to play their games.

 

[readonly]

Have 2 little kids, preorder day 1.

 

[Fake]

Yes, just not day one.

 

[Trilobit]

Ever since the DS Lite I've been waiting a few years before dipping my toe. By that time the console has a good library of games and it's more likely you get a refreshed version or even mid-gen refresh. I got the Switch with better battery time for example. So I'll most likely do the same with Switch 2, but I don't care about waiting for a Pro version.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I mean we don't know shit

Its all about the games at launch in the end if its a day 1 or later for me.

 

[Soodanim]

My interest is in its performance and BC enhancements. Haven't seen those yet.

 

[Little Mac]

Depends on the launch titles. If it's lacking I'll probably focus more on upgrading to the PS5 Pro and wait til the holidays for the Switch 2.

 

[Topher]

Still not sure. Really need to see how it performs when docked first.

 

[Fbh]

Probably not at launch. But it will depend on the price and announced games.
In my time with the Switch I've come to realize there are only a handful of Nintendo IPs I really care about (mostly 3D Zelda, Monolith games and Fire Emblem...if they don't go back to the 3 Houses style...which they probably will).

I could see myslef buying one down the line once it actually has a handful of cool games. Though at this point I'm honestly more interested in a potential Steamdeck 2.

That said if they do something unexpected an announce a Kid Icarus Uprising 2 or something like that it would be hard to resist.

 

[Crayon]

Man, fuck nintendo. Day one.

 

[semiconscious]

as soon as a (good!) zelda game is released. & no sooner...

 

[El Muerto]

Nope. Just haven't cared to play a Nintendo game since i became an adult. If there were games on there that weren't geared towards kids and are not re-makes or remasters i might be interested.

 

[Closer]

I'll get one. Somewhen.

 

[cireza]

 

[TintoConCasera]

Need to see the games before deciding.

 

[willothedog]

day 1, as the early batches are always the ones that can be hacked.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Day one

 

[Punished Miku]

100%. In contrast to most other Nintendo devices, I'm going to try to really only use it for 1st party only and that's it. I'm kind of over investing in their ecosystem. I bought tons of indies on Switch 1. Even indies that are announced exclusive to Nintendo usually get ported in a year, or also launch on PC. 1st party alone is worth it for the system though. I haven't decided if I'll get it day 1 or not. Probably won't be freaking out about it, but will pick one up when I see it.

 

[Edgelord79]

No. Oled screen and hall sticks required then yes. I can't go back to this as it seems a step back.

 

[daxgame]

Yeah but not day1 unless i find sone crazy retail discount

 

[Zannegan]

I could, potentially, have waited out the launch period and let the library grow if we were just talking new Switch 2 software. Plenty of Switch 1 titles I still want to polish off, and there's always my Steam backlog.

But, given that it'll also be BC with Switch titles (one of the few things we know from Nintendo themselves) and have significantly stronger hardware, I plan to preorder. I'm hoping for demonstrable performance benefits on my Switch 1 co-op library. Probably would have done the same with the mythical Switch Pro (but I'm weak like that).

 

[Guardian Monkey]

LOL, it mostly depends if a new Animal Crossing is at launch. If so, wife will get one I'm sure, so I will have to track one down. Haha.

I'm kind of like wait and see for the games, eventually sure, there are quite a few SW1 games I have yet to play that I own that I need to get to. But if there is no big reason in my mind to jump on it at launch I'll wait.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Eventually.
Will wait for a new Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

 

[gamer82]

if scalpers don't manage to put them out of stock , my switch oled is already gone so sooner the better , here's hoping they add 3ds game to the service as im on a hunt just now but the prices a terrible for the condition of them.

 

[Tams]

I'm trying to avoid anything about it.

I'll be preordering one.
