So I bit the bullet. Bought the Switch and Zelda. Only played for a few hours but a, impress so far. Smooth, clear fast interface that makes the Wii U pale in comparison. Love how easy it is to switch from to to on the go, and how easily the different controller configurations can be set up. Lucky that I have had no issues so far. Too early to rate but a far better first impression than the Wii U made on me.
I am seriously torn. I am sat here, 6am on a Saturday morning in Austalia, deciding whether to head out and buy one when shops open at 9am.
I love Nintendo. I have tried Xbox and PlayStation, and while they have had a few games that have pulled me in (Arkham series, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption), I have very much remained a casual gamer due to a lack of interest in shooters and the like.
I got a NES in 1991 when I was 6 years old. Had the SNES too, and the N64. Missed out on the GameCube as I was out in the world on my own for the first time and disposable income did not exist. The Wii drew me back in at a time when I was looking at marriage, and was a console I played with my now wife and family.
The Wii U burned me. I adopted early. I waited for features such as the TV mode that never arrived. I grew frustrated at third party games being dropped. Grew more frustrated when I bout 3rd party games such as Arkham Origins and couldn't access their DLC. The first party games were good, but few and far between, and often didn't utilise the console's unique features. The Ui was slow and clunky. Downloading took forever. It just was a real disappointment.
So now I am torn. I want to jump in and trust the company that provided me with so much joy as a child and young adult. But the fear of being burned is still there.
