I'll wait on the Switch for now, since there hasn't been anything at launch that's really wowed me enough to get it, but at least I should give my Wii U one last hurrah with BOTW, before I "Switch" to Nintendo's new hybrid during the holiday season.

As time goes on I see romhackers and modders becoming more and more valiant and creative. I salute them for their work in the gaming community. And I hope we see more of this in the future.

@remag Exactly, why would they add it in the first place, if no one was going to use it otherwise.

@Syrek24 HD Rumble and a IR Camera "Very advanced technologies", yeah sure, but all it's really done is up the price for the Switch. I honestly don't care it's $299 or more, since i'm not getting it until it offers a lot more within it's library, but I highly doubt anyone really wanted HD Rumble and a IR Camera in the first place, so all those "advanced features" Nintendo added are just going to be left unused, with the exception of motion controls (Since that's a feature that everyone likes).

Gaming doesn't have to be expensive, since they are plenty of ways to play really good games without paying an arm and a leg. Not to say it's bad thing to pay for expensive games and accessories, but for the people who game as a hobby, the majority of them want the best deal that they can spend with their hard earned money. Only someone who actually games for a hobby knows this, unfortunately for you everything you said is a big rookie mistake in terms on buying games as a hobby.

And here's some more friendly advice for you my friend, Stop taking video games so seriously, Jeez. Every time I see you in a comment section you're ways saying people are complaining, when the only one I see complaining is you. So lighten up, people have other opinions and aren't blind fanboys like you. If anyone who is the massive joke in the fanbase it's people like you, who go around starting arguments with insults and barely any facts to back yourself up.

@Hotfusion Agreed. I guess I should also reserve my judgement too. Until we see what Nintendo has to offer.

@PlywoodStick Modding an Nintendo Console! You Mad man, you'll void the warranty on it!!! LOL

That's an awesome mod though.

@3MonthBeef I agree with you on the fact that so many people are mad over feature which is (In My Opinion) quite useless in many cases, a simple rumble feature would have been fine and cost effective.

Did anyone really ask for HD Rumble? As a whole exactly. Because although very interesting in concept, it's essentially a feature that shouldn't have been in the Switch in the first place. The games that I know of that support it, is "1,2...Switch", which isn't getting the best response from everyone and ARMS I believe, but that game could have been fine without it.

In all honestly the only thing HD Rumble has done is basically added a needless feature to the Switch, increased the price of the Switch and some of it's accessories, and (from what I've been reading for the past 20 minutes in this comment section) tearing this fanbase apart. Over a feature that the last time anyone really cared about was in the Fifth Generation. Maybe it would work for VR, but I doubt the Switch will get something like that in near future.

I'm confident that the Switch will do well, however the lack of key information on the online aspect (Such as Virtual Console, the payed online, etc.) has been very concerning, especially since it's about month away from launch. Of course it will do very well at launch especially since vast amounts of longtime Nintendo fans and Tech Enthusiasts are pre-ordering it. But in order to keep that hype and numbers going, (especially for the casual consumer, which Nintendo needs to grab) Nintendo needs to make sure that everything about the Switch (whether it is about the internet service, control functionality, and of course the games that will be released) All of which should be addressed soon, if they want it to be a consistent success.

@ChristopherM Oh yes, I do remember that functionality, however I was just saying that maybe SEGA could add few more little known or fan favorite game soundtracks to the Spotify music service.

I know some soundtracks have already been released by fans on youtube, but it's nice to see SEGA give a sign that they haven't forgotten many of their beloved franchises.

Better late then never. Little Ninja Brothers and Kung Fu Heroes are a bit underrated in my opinion. Yeah they look like run of the mill NES games, but never judge a book by it's cover. They're actually pretty fun and definitely worth a try.

@NEStalgia That's not a bad idea actually. A lot more enticing then the normal Switch, but who knows what's up Nintendo's Sleeve these days.

As I said before Nintendo is taking a huge risk with the Switch. The fact that it's both a portable and a console is a really neat concept, but the portability aspect seems a bit impractical some situations (Due it's slightly larger size), but even when the 3ds line had larger more bulkier models made, there was still a bit of seclusion and portability that the Switch doesn't have.

I mean yeah they could release a smaller Switch, but that would just make the Joycons smaller and even less comfortable. Taking away the "Console-Like" aspect away from it.

Plus The 3DS line of systems and games are very profitable, but with the Switch being Nintendo's main focus, they have no choice,but to get rid of it because it might impede Switch sales. But if the Switch doesn't do to well there is nothing it can really fall back on, like with the Wii U.

I hope we eventually see the soundtracks of Panzer Dragoon and Shenmue added soon.

@electrolite77 @BinaryFragger My mistake.

@Jessica286 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is coming to the Wii U later in the year. So it's more of a timed exclusive for the switch.

@Megas That's fine, everybody has different opinions.

@Megas Achievements aren't that bad, it gives some games replayability. Although I can understand that there are some games that feature trophies that are just too easy or are just no-brainers, but there are some games that feature trophies that are pretty challenging.

I don't think it's a good idea to get too hyped for the virtual console, since it's only going to be dripped feed by Nintendo anyway, but there is hope for possible Gamecube VC coming to the switch, which makes it little bit tolerable.

I think it would be awesome, if Nintendo did the whole "vote for 3 new characters in smash" again. Plus some extra characters thrown here and there.

@westman98 I guess, but it's still a bit more clunky then it's predecessor.

@westman98 A cumbersome portable at that. Even if it does have a stand in the back.

@Romeo-75 I don't know, man. Nintendo said the same thing about the NX not replacing the Wii U. And we all know how that turned out. Let's just hope they keep the 3ds going a little bit longer, since it's one of Nintendo's best selling hardware at the moment, besides the Nintendo Switch pre-orders.

I just feel that Nintendo might be shooting themselves in the foot, if they get rid of the DS line of systems. I know that the switch is also a handheld, but the idea of a console/handheld hybrid system is still a bit of a gamble for Nintendo, especially since it doesn't have the exact portability nor familiarity of what the DS had.

Plus if the switch does fail (Not necessarily saying it will, it's just a "what if" scenario.) then Nintendo doesn't have anything to really fall back on.

I gotta be honest here. The Switch doesn't really look all that portable, with the DS or heck the Gameboy, you could fit it in your pocket and carry it around with you no problem. But with the Switch you need a case, because it is much to bulky.

Eh, I'll wait until 2018 or 2019, when the switch has a lot more games to offer. My rule is to never get a console or handheld at launch.

@Xaessya You earned a like from me, for making me laugh hysterically at 11pm. Thank You.
