So Nintendo people to personalize their Switch's, Okay lets start with the Left Joycon with a proper d pad and then on my wish list is the Right joycon with the analog stick moved to the top! as I don't really get on with the offset stick thing in portable mode. There is money to be made Nintendo get to it!
The same article also talks about Nintendo's next console, that's easy keep the current size of the Switch make the screen bigger by getting rid of the black bezel, throw in the most powerful and cost effective chip Nvidia can offer and for the gimmick VR! Job done sit back and relax! But this being Nintendo can't see it being that easy!
I think the DLC comments are promising, especially that maybe as a result we'll see stuff like MK8 Deluxe DLC, more waves of Fire Emblem Warriors DLC after the Awakening pack, etc. As for Xenoblade 2, I think the expansion pass will take a BotW style approach.
@Tsurii It's not really a concept I care for, personally. It's certainly not a good fit for anything related to SMT.
With that said, TMS isn't a terrible game. I actually quite liked the dungeon design, and the cute way the GamePad was used. It's a decent Persona-esque game, although the music, characters, and story were all kind of subpar. At least, for the 20-ish hours I played it.
I don't think the FE characters and references added much to it, either. And after the low sales and localization controversies, I don't really see Atlus collaborating so closely with Nintendo again in the near future. Which is probably for the best.
@YummyHappyPills I bought it at launch partially because I love the hybrid form factor. It's the system I've always wanted, but never thought was possible.
But I also love Nintendo games. The January presentation, despite disappointing everyone else, completely sold me on the system. Especially since the gorgeous Breath of the Wild was going to be a launch title.
So, between the stellar announcements and the innovative design of the system itself, I absolutely had to have it.
@YummyHappyPills Portability is number one, in it's' twilight years, I exclusively used the Wii U in gamepad only mode, and loved my 3DS. As it stands, it's the only portable still receiving real support on the market, so easy choice there.
Secondly would be the library. There were a number of Nintendo games I wanted to play on it, which helped, and indies were good to.
Thirdly originally, though what's made it my primary console now, is finding that games I couldn't bring myself to invest the time into on PC (L.A. Noire stands out on that list) are now the kind of games I can play after laying down in bed each night. It just suits my life so well, I can't imagine not having one anymore.
Purchased it to play Nintendo titles. I actually still play my Wii U the most out of any of my systems because I have a big backlog of games and I love Nintendo franchises.
Im very curious as to the why people are buying it.
Okay, my answers are :
1. Because i LOVE Portability from Nintendo Switch. It's Perfect, even i can play my Switch games on my bed while relax on the bed.
2. Because i TRUST with Nintendo Brand image that still maintain Kid Friendly and Family gaming. Also, whichever Nintendo games, there are a lot of interesting titles to choose and mostly Safe for Watch.
3. Nintendo is INNOVATIVE. Almost every single their products are Original and Interesting. Also, Nintendo still care with customers by some Nostalgic products in the future releases.
Well, i also care with some Sony games such as PS1, PS2 (mostly) & PS4. But i ONLY play Appropriate games for any machines. For PS1 & PS2, my games are mostly Tons of Dance Dance Revolution games, KONAMI Rhythm games, K-1 World GP, Bomberman, Street Fighter, Monster Rancher 4, etc. For PS4, my games are 4 Retail Indie games (Earthlock, Overcooked, Portal Knights, Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles), 4 Square Enix games (World of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD, FF X/X-2 HD, FF XII The Zodiac Age) & The Sims 4.
I've heard nothing but complaints about it, but now that I've gotten to use it, I really like the Switch's eShop. Sure, it could use some music, but the only sections I ever look at on Wii U or 3DS are the New Releases, Demos, and Games on Sale, and Switch eShop has all of those. All of the other sections just seem like filler and aren't really necessary. It's simple and easy and quick to get to what I need to see. I think it's great.
@YummyHappyPills I got a Switch because I was missing Nintendo! I was still playing my Wii long in to the WiiU's lifecycle - but, by the time my playtime on the Wii was beginning to dwindle, there were rumours abound about 'NX', so I thought I'd just hold out for that instead! ..but man was I missing Nintendo by that point!
That's the main reason I bought it 'day 1' (first time I've ever done that with a console in my life) ..I hadn't played a fresh new Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart - ANYTHING Nintendo - in YEARS...and I couldn't wait any longer!
I'd love to say that it was for the portability/hybrid factor - but I must admit that that element rather caught me by surprise! I played almost exclusively in 'TV mode' when I first got the Switch - I was just loving having a new Nintendo 'home console' again! I was pleased that it looked pretty stylish and had these extra features - but it was all about the games (well, Zelda) to begin with!
It was only over time that I began to really fall in love with the flexibility of the system! It started when my girlfriend wanted to watch something on TV - so I slid the Switch out of the Dock and seamlessly continued playing the game (handheld) on the couch...and it - just - worked! ...next day, same again - it just worked! ..then I took it on the bus - perfect! ..quick 10mins over coffee then suspend the software? - no problem! (..and so on!)
I was in it for the games - but I began to really appreciate the system itself far more than I had ever imagined! I'd return to my PS4 or PC and it'd just be static - just not fitting around my life in quite the same way - not as flexible - dare I say it, just not as good...the experience has been surpassed - I have a better way to play games now!
The Switch dominates my gaming life because it just fits in to my life so much better! ..not only do I have the games I was craving - but I've also had my mind opened to a whole new (and better) way of enjoying them!
@Grumblevolcano Themes are a must. And, considering we already have two selectable themes, I'd be surprised if more weren't added later on.
I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on themes for my 3DS. I think I'm done, though: the Zelda 30th anniversary theme is wonderful, and I don't see myself changing it again.
@Ralizah I also spent a lot on themes (my favourite one was the Hyrule Warriors one) but I reached a point early this year where the themes were slowing down the OS too much so I returned to a basic blue one.
@Peek-a-boo
Go for it man! People love the Switch. And it complements PS4 well. Even if you just use it some of the time you're going to get more than your moneys worth. Too many good games on the system.
@EvilLucario
Right. And, as long as the game is great, I'm all for it. The Zelda DLC was excellent, and as much as I'm loving Xenoblade 2 (one of the best video games I've ever played, top 10 for sure) I can't wait to see what it brings as well. Splatoon 2 and ARMS got like 50% more content for free... which is pretty awesome.

@Ralizah I got a New 3DS XL at launch, maybe it was to do with microSD card speeds. I admit I didn't really pay attention to that kind of stuff until Switch.
I'm not expecting any more MK8D dlc. Nintendo have been trotting out this line about leveraging dlc for a couple of years now, and when they started doing so, we all rubbed our hands saying "Ooh, goodie, more MK8 dlc" and it never came, even after that 'Good things come to those who wait' tweet.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
