Just by having Zelda it already better than the GBA,DS,3ds, and Wii u launches.
Wait it out. Maybe Nintendo will cave and cut the price.
They might also improve the online features

Who is the Switch for? When the Wii came out kids were still playing 'kids games', now they play COD.
Who's meant to keep Nintendo alive? Fanboys?
...or maybe I'm a pleb and the console is meant for the wealthy hipster types in the reveal trailer.
Only teenagers care about COD. There's a whole world of gamers before and after that particular demographic.

Hardcore fans, and Yuppy parents trying to indoctrinate their kids!
I haven't enjoyed a 3D Zelda game since Majora's Mask.
And I didn't like the one before that.

Didn't Black Ops 3 sell gangbusters?
Why didn't they buy the WiiU?

I buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games.
And now, SF2. I hope there is a speed option. Game looks so slow.

I'm pretty content with just waiting until the Summer of Splat to consider Switching it up, it's not like we're starved for quality game releases for the first few months of this year across all platforms so why rush into something that's still finding its feet (then again, why get any console Day 1? when was the last time that actually turned out to be a wise investment? Halo on the XBOX?)
Then again I'm saying this as someone who can still sneak Zelda onto their WiiU.

I will guaranteed be buying one when No More Heroes is up for preorder, if not before depending on if any games take my fancy. Mario is looking interesting.

Anthem, owners of TNA, and also the owners of Fight Network in Canada, accidentally aired the wrong episode of Impact on Fight Network instead of the new episode yesterday
In addition to that, their new app that launched in the UK and Ireland had technical difficulties causing the episode to air late
Maybe the whole company's cursed. At this point nothing else explains the surrounding stupidity encompassing everyone that even touches the product

Getting a console in the first year, even the first 1,5 years is a utterly dumb move.
I still do it every time, but only because I can afford the gamble. But it's still pretty damn stupid to be an early adopter for just about anything.
I'm expecting my Wii U Pro Controller to be compatible with the Switch, BUT NOBODY IS CONFIRMING IT AND IT IS DRIVING ME MAD.
Why isn't anyone asking this, what do gaming journalists even do? ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS, you fools.

Someone ask if NMH is exclusive. There's gotta be some hope!

Wasn't there a legitimate thing where parents thought it was just a really expensive accessory for the Wii because it had the same first name
How about you sell it to me for the exclusive rights to Data West

Bring back Data West so we can get a new release of Karnov's Revenge.

Typically I still end up getting Nintendo stuff too early, 3DS was a kinda pleasant surprise in that I nabbed it in time to get it cheaper, with the Ocarina remake and be considered part of the we fucked up apology program. Otherwise yeah it's never the best move, look at any console in recent years and they are pretty bare for quite a while.
Even the PS4 which is entering beast mode now was trapped in the struggle in its first year, now everyone I know who got theirs early has no space on the console so each new game is a pain in the arse juggling process while I got to sail in and bag one of the updated models with actual space for cheaper merely a year later, heck folks waiting longer than me get to go Pro!
Seph, you are a brave man.
Maybe you would endure the Switch launch after all.
I dunno, a free NES/SNES game every month doesn't seem like a bad idea on paper. Hopefully its a sign that Nintendo isn't going to drip feed the fuck out of the virtual console like they did with the Wii and Wii-U and honestly it's a better idea on paper than "GET YOUR FREE MEDIOCRE INDY GAME" that PS Plus does.
Who am I kidding Nintendo will fuck it up
I had zero regerts about buying an OG George Foreman PS3. Backwards compatibility for days. That system actually died on me like a year and a half ago, I was sad

I stopped downloading the PS4 games a few months ago. That service was so great when they weren't the market leader and stopped giving a fuck trying to sell PS Plus (since you'll get it anyways now that it includes online).
But yeah, a free VC game a month is a pretty cool thing, and something I'll gladly spend a few bucks on, why not?
Wait... only playable for free for one month?!
As in, after that one month I don't get to keep the game and have to pay for it again even though I'm already paying for the fucking Nintendo online service?
So basically they took the best thing about PS+ and Games for Gold and said "no"!?
Fucking hell, Nintendo

PS plus indie games ain't that bad even if the selection is often inconsistent in quality, we got stuff like Furi and Invisible Inc last year so yay, yet I'm seriously concerned that people would actually rather have trash like Knack because "it's retail".

Nintendo: Not gettin' it since 2000
But... you only get to play the game for a month. I like a lot of the PS+ games I get to play whenever I want (as long as I'm still a subscriber).
It's a fucking joke brother!
edit: Wake up Seph!

I ordered a Switch on Gamestop only to realize they were going to charge me $40 for shipping. As soon as I could get one via Best Buy I put in a cancel request to GameStop. $40 is ridiculous
Welp, guess what....You can only play the game for that month. If you want to keep it you have to buy it

They also took the best thing about their fucked up online situation (at least you didn't have to pay for it) and said "nah"
