I don't care what people would advise against. Obviously I mean within reason. Not going to go spend $4000. But I'm not going to do some half measure either. I hate half measures. I'm going to upgrade properly. And when those new chips come out in 6 months, I'm going to get one of those. And I'm going to do it properly with a brand new motherboard and a high-end CPU and a high-end graphics card and then I'm going to be good for several years rather than doing half measures every year and a half.

@YummyHappyPills It's not fact yet, Nintendo Italia could have made an error. Ya, there's no need for the word "delay" in the headline. As you say, Nintendo only confirmed the initial delay was until 2018. I got the impression though that it was until the end of the 1st quarter.
Ohh yeah guys, I have been having some problem with my dpad on my switch's joycon (like not responsive and I have to press it multiple time before finally registering). Do you guys think it's a problem with my joycon, or is it just the xenoblade 2?
I was wondering if I got hit with that batch of "faulty joycon from manufacture" :[
A very Merry Christmas to all you Switch owners out there. Can't wait to see what the next year has in store. Share that Christmas spirit with some good natured play this holiday.

@JaxonH i think you and i approach pc builds the same way which is probably why were so jaded by pc gaming . Everyone that does half measures seems to spend less and be happier yet i could never get myself to go that route
@NEStalgia
Ya, I just don't wanna mess with it is my thing. I just want it to work and work for five years. If I spend 700 bucks on top of the line product upgrading, and then I'm good for five years, maybe I have to start turning it down from ultra high settings to high settings in a few years and then to medium settings in a few years after that... that's perfect. That'll work. I want the biggest gap of time in between upgrades as humanly possible.
But I might just invest more into the GPD Win 2 library instead. That's a system that doesn't get upgraded- it's like a console or handheld where you buy it, and that's how it is forever. Sure, you can upgrade the hard drive and all that but the internals are there to stay. It's compact form factor would be hell to take apart and try to upgrade. I think the max RAM it would be able to take anyways is 12 gigs and it's already got 8. Still, that might be something worth looking into if it's even possible to take it apart and upgrade, which it might be too difficult to even bother with.
@JaxonH Thats exactly what Im advising you do. Go for what can do ultra settings comfortably now, then high in 3 years, then medium in 5.
You dont even need the best money can buy. Ive got an Intel i7-6070 at 3.4 - 4 GHz, with a GTX970 and 4GB with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and an SSD.
Thats doing ultra settings on all but games coming out next year and that was a system I got for £1300 or so in September 2016. By that point it was already a year old and it wont need upgrading in any capacity (Well except grttimg a bigger SSD of course!) for another 3 years or so, as what is coming out in 2018 is still very much Ultra settings capable.
And thats the thing. Is it the best money can buy? No. Did it need to be? Well an extra few hundred on a GTX 1070 would have added a few more games to the Ultra list in year 2 and 3 but this is still getting 90% of games with minimal effort.
Of course Im focused on 1080p as an upper limit. If you want 4k yes youll be adding a little more to that price.
But to do what you want to do, get a 5 year system, make no mistakes these arent half measures. You can make slightly older parts last for 5 years or so if what you want is Ultra until maybe 3-5 years later.
So no, top of the line is very much a waste of money. High-mid to high end is where you want to be, because anything more than that is above what most people want.
And what most people want is exactly that. A console cycle lifespan from the parts! 4-6 years.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE They said 2018, therefore I expect December 31st ;p Thats a good way to do it, is always take the date at its latest possible and dont think otherwise until 100% confirmed and set in stone.

I got Mario Odyssey for Christmas, looking at picking up Steamworld Dig 2 in the e-shop sale and nothing software wise until February as I will have Mario, Skyrim and Steamworld Dig 2 on the go, that's if I can tear myself away from Stardew Valley.
Looking at getting a new case as the the case I brought for my son for his switch is far better than the official case I picked up at launch.
I would say that the Nintendo Switch (Odyssey edition) that I brought for my son for Christmas is working very well (currently in tabletop mode play Mario co op with one of his siblings).

Psst...
I keep the 2 x Neon Red Joy Cons for spare of my Blue Joy cons.
Also, i will try to replace their skin with White skin replacement once i got my order from Ebay.
Well... time to learn from Youtube.
My inner kid is hoping against hope that Nintendo eventually just says, "Ah, forget it" with the paid online and just starts a deluge of Virtual Console titles just like the Wii. Would create HUGE goodwill in the community.
