Topic: Do you still love your Switch?

@NEStalgia she prefers boxes she can hide in, and we got plenty of those right now.. lol

@Joeynator3000 Box with strings to break tops box to hide in, every time! Nya!

Eh, Sanya doesn't really mess with strings anymore. lol

Yes I do, but the more time passes the more I feel really frustrated by the lack of local saves backup features and the lack of multimedia apps. I recently bought a PS4 aand I have to say, right now for me it is even better than Switch. I still love Switch and it has enormous potential but Nintendo must understand that an overall entertainment device will always be better than a strictly gaming (and without the possibility to keep saves backups!!!!) device, and Switch is an amazing device, it deserves the best.

I have Skyrim both on PS4 (I have a PS4 Pro) and on Switch, on PS4 Pro it runs like s**t compared to Switch (also if you don't compare it to Switch, it just run like s**t, almost unplayable) but since I don't care about the main quest and just play it like a fantasy life simulator I prefer to play it on PS4 to keep a backup of my character and my achievements (levels, skills, wealth, homes)

I also often use PS4 to watch photos and videos between one game and another, it is great.

I hope someone at Nintendo will read this. Please Nintendo Switch deserves much better!!!

yup. still have plans to pick up (non 1st party ports) games on the switch in a couple of months or so.

Yeah, still love my Switch. It's my only dedicated gaming device these days and, while I'd love to play Persona 5 and God of War, I've still got about another 100 hours to go on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (which I adore - second only to Zelda for me on Switch) and I haven't even booted up Bayonetta yet, despite getting it two months ago. There is literally no point in me owning a PS4 or gaming PC when I can't even keep up with the Switch's library.

Admittedly, the 2018 release schedule has been a bit underwhelming so dar. Mario Tennis Aces looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not sure where the next great single-player game is. I was hyped for Dark Souls (still on preorder - grrr), but instead I'll be weighing up Ys VIII or Octopath Traveller, which don't come out till the summer. Still, we've got Smash and maybe Pokémon or Fire Emblem still to come this year and, after being slightly disappointed by Kirby, I might have to reassess Yoshi.

Still the best Nintendo console for me since the N64

@LuckyLand
I also have PS4, but.... i rarely use my PS4 even i have The Sims 4, the game that i really want to play.
Also, i have Portal Knights in BOTH PS4 & Switch version.
I can see the PS4 version = 60fps while the Switch version = 30fps, but.... still i choose to play Switch version oftenly considering i defend the Nintendo side more than Sony side.

It's not about the fps nor 4k(which is few and far between)but it can be on the go something PS4 can't do and more people use the Switch Portable and that is what makes sales for upcoming developers and current to support the Switch. Gives them more market shares if buyers can be on the go.

@Anti-Matter it is not a matter of fps (I am fine with 30 fps if they are stable) or resolution (God of war is gorgeous but I am perfectly fine with Switch graphics too) but it is just because PS4 have those functions that are very important to me and Switch have not yet, despite it absolutely could.
There were two different reasons why I decided to buy a PS4, but only one (God of war) was strictly related to gaming.
I really wanted to stop using my computer for entertainment so I wanted a console to enjoy multimedia content.
Also if I really wanted to stop using my computer for entertainment I needed a console that allow me to keep backups of Skyrim saves.
Probably I would have bought a PS4 anyway just for God of war, but Nintendo gave me other reasons to want it for sure.

I do love my Switch. I bring it with me basically wherever I go and have more games on it than I have time to play- and that's not taking into account the games I want but haven't gotten around to buying yet.

The fact that the Switch is so flexible makes it so that I actually have time to play longer games without having to take a break for weeks- or sometimes even a month or two- which wasn't a rare occurrence with previous consoles I've had. I would never have been able to play Disgaea 5 or XC2 with a coherent grasp of the story if it wasn't because the Switch is... well, a Switch. XD I would never have had the time to find every korok in Zelda- twice!- if the Switch wasn't a handheld as well. I would probably still be in the first half of SMO and frustrated with myself for not having the time to sit down and finish it if I hadn't been able to play it on my flights.

I think Nintendo has made something really special with the Switch. Not only are there plenty of amazing games for the system (I am speaking as someone who never owned a Wii U, so I understand that it might be frustrating with all the ports for those who already played them,) but the Switch also allows people with busy lives that are a lot on the go- be that on airplanes or on the tube- to find time to experience those games, even though the play sessions might be a little chopped up and fragmented more often than not.

Wow, I wish I had your problem. I can't keep up with all of the great Switch games lately, many eShop but also some retail. I did just finally beat the Ultimate Choice in Soul Melter Mode (Kirby Star Allies), so I'm feeling good about that anyway!

I never loved the Switch but I love some of the games already (Mario Odyssey, Zelda BotW, Xenoblade 2).

The only Nintendo consoles I loved were the SNES, the N64, the Gamecube, the Wii, and the Wii U.

@Hallonblad You found every korok... TWICE!?

Not really as of late, since I've had nothing I've wanted to play since Mario Odyssey. My PS4 has overall gotten far more usage.

The Switch is the best system I've owned so far. Having said that, I'm back on the PC playing Ni No Kuni 2 - because there aren't any similar games to it on the Switch. I've finished Skyrim, BOTW, Portal Knights, Dragon Quest Builders - and a bunch of other RPGs. Currently I'm hanging out for Battle Chasers and may pick up the new South Park game this weekend.

@gcunit XD I did! First time around I put on the korok mask and made it my mission. And second time around I was mostly messing about in Master Mode, and eventually all of them was picked up again. That's just how it goes. I really enjoy going places without fast-travel in BotW because the world is so pretty to look at, and because of that finding koroks on the way just... happens, I suppose.

@Hallonblad Wowsers! So what's your total playtime on the game?

I don't use fast-travel, and I don't have the Korok mask, but I can't see myself bothering to track them all down (I've played about 140 hours and found around 240 I think) Particularly the seeds hidden beneath ice blocks in the Hebra region as they're no fun to release (as far as I've established - I just light a fire or use fire arrows on it).

@KirbyTheVampire Same.

And I bought my Switch a shy over two months ago in February and have already ‘ran out’ of games to play!

I am looking forward to when things pick up again in a few months time though, with the likes of Runner3 in May, Mario Tennis Aces in June and Project Octopath in July. Those three should be pretty good.

I do enjoy the switch but last couple months it has been used quite a bit less than the ps4. My kids still play with them just about daily and I still play with them in multiplayer games but as far as my personal gaming time,switch has take a back seat as of late. Should change in May with DKC and Hyrule warriors, but not if I don't finish God Of War by then 😊
