@Azooooz ok chill. i never said switch was doomed. all im saying was that i am holding off due to being unimpressed with the launch window and online atm. There's a good chance i will still buy it, probably when mario odyssey comes out.
He may have been adding to my point actually

I can't wait to see if Breath of the Wild will be nominated for Best Handheld next year at the game awards. Or maybe they'll get rid of that category altogether.
@Nicolai I can see them changing the category to mobile only...it looks like it's been heading that way anyway. At most I can see them including a 3ds game, but I really doubt Switch games would make the category.
On that note, it will be an interesting year in that Nintendo will potentially have two contenders for GOTY.
@Buizel: That seems like the most logical conclusion, since the 3DS will most likely be the last truly handheld console. It might even be named "Best Smartphone/Tablet Game" to clearly distance itself from the handheld console line.
BotW still has Game of the Year to go for, so it's no big deal.
Octane the one included doesnt have charging apparently. the charging version is being sold seperately for $30.
Where did you hear that?
It's on the front page of Nintedolife now.
As someone else in the comment section put it: ''The more I read about the the Switch, the more it feels like a giant micro transaction in physical form.''
How is Nintendo with demos? I haven't had a Nintendo console since Gamecube so I was curious how they handled them considering Sony/MS used to have them all the time and now they are virtually gone on PS4/Xbox One.

Not great, but I'd say better than Sony (I can't speak for Microsoft with the XBO). A fair amount of major releases get a demo (Splatoon and Pokemon having particularly good ones IMO), but not all of them.
Does the AC adapter plug into both the charging dock and the Switch in portable mode, or just the dock? It'd be shame if, in addition to all of the nickel-&-diming they're doing, I would also have to buy another charger for an inflated price. I'm sorry if this has been confirmed and talked about already.
And speaking of the nickel-&-diming, it really sucks for me, because I can't do it like I did with the Wii U. I don't have the spare cash I did back then, so I can't get the online subscription, or the charging dock, or the charging grip, or the pro controller, or the party game that should be bundled with it, or any extra joy-cons. I've got my Switch and my special addition Zelda on preorder, and that's probably gonna be it for the rest of the year.
Don't get me wrong, though, I'm still amazingly excited about the Switch, and BotW is probably all I'm going to need all year
@Nicolai The Nintendo Switch is charged through a USB-C port, and the dock has a connector, which is powered by the adapter. The good news is that most of the quality branded power banks like Anker and RAVPower would work with the Switch, since it's using a universal USB-C port.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Dude, you're on some kind of anti-Switch tirade. Forums, comments on the articles - you keep popping up, and every time you type something about the Switch, it's super-negative.
Take that YouTube video you just posted. I have no idea who that guy is, but that's beside the matter. You do realize that for every negative video out there, there is a positive video, right? I just went through a completely random search on YouTube for "Switch impressions," watching Youtubers I've never heard of mixed with some of the more well-known Youtubers. And LOTS of them who actually used the Switch had great things to say.
I think it comes down to 50/50, to be honest. I've seen negative, I've seen positive. I'm excited for the system, but I also have some reservations, especially with the online and voice chat stuff. But you have to stop being so completely one-sided, man. There's a difference between being critical and being disparaging.
@Whitewatermoose Even though I'm getting the thing day 1 because of Zelda, I realize that this console does not feel like it should be releasing yet. At the very least, I agree with the parental controls thing. I think it's cool how much control you can have with the swtich remotely. Obviously for a childless guy like me it's useless, but I still give them huge credit for that app. It looks really well made. Especially being able to see the specific games and how long they've played them.

Wait, does that mean I could charge the Switch using my phone cord? That's a usb charger.
