Free games with gold are not free as you pay monthly/yearly subs, if you don't pay you can't play the game anymore. I would rather own my games and be able to play them anywhere , I do pay for gold but only because I play rocket league and my son plays ROBLOX.
There's no room for the 3ds anymore, like the look of chicken wiggle , hope it gets ported to switch. With that being said I'll probably buy it on 3ds when it's discounted.
@NaviAndMii sorry mate but I just don't agree , a year is a long time in tech, of course Nintendo can make the switch cheaper in a year or so. Like others have said they could make the screen smaller , no docking unit etc. Don't forget they are using off the shelf parts from Nvidia , I expect Nintendo could probably get the switch to £199 at some point in the not to distant future. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Price of older silicon falls all the time and Nintendo are competing with other manufacturers to buy the same tech , as companies move on to newer tech the price inevitably falls which means Nintendo can make the switch cheaper , this happens all the time.
A 2nd gen Switch will no doubt be released in a year or so just like the yearly updates manufacturers do with phones and tablets.
The 1st gen switch and 2nd gen will play the same games and be compatible with the same phererials but the 2nd gen will have better resolution, faster etc just like what has happened with android/iOS.
The 1st gen will get a price cut making it a good entry level system and a succesor to the 3ds.
Nintendo already stated ages ago they would like to go the same route as android/iOS.
All good , bring on the ports if it means more people buy the switch , I'm sure Switch will get its fair share of exclusives later on down the line. More games the better and I'd rather buy the switch ports of games rather than for my xbone or PS4 pro as I can play them where ever I am
