Title.

I was planning on it but didn't realize orders were up and gone before it was too late.

romevi · « **Reply #1 on:** Fri, 13 January 2017, 15:37:22 »

I did but I don't even have some other stuff paid off first. Figured it couldn't hurt when ordering from Amazon. Can always cancel.

Yeee! You go with grey or the colored one?

tp4tissue · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 13 January 2017, 17:06:13 »

I was going to order one.. But the idea of flipping it and making a puny $200 seems like something I'd do when I was a kid.. So decided to hold off and let young people do that sort of thing.. hahahaha.

pre-ordered on amazon.. grey version!
I think it would have been a harder decision had they gone with a blue version and a red version, but the mixed colors seem a bit odd to me...

Wildcard · « **Reply #5 on:** Fri, 13 January 2017, 17:14:21 »

I'd like to see how it pans out. Personally I thought the WiiU was an ok design which could have done with some UI improvements. Hopefully the switch shows promise.

Yea, I love the colors but I'll just grab double sets of blue and red after.

Gray for now. Would prefer the colored controllers, but that's out of stock (gray wasn't when I ordered). I ordered a set of the colored controllers just in case.

I did the preorder at the Nintendo World store in NYC. Line was like 4 blocks long and it took hours. They didn't even let us preorder accessories or games. So I'll be camping out to get a LoZ:BotW Master set.

I'm just a little worried about building the system around mobile..

Because fewer and fewer kids play outside anymore....

I've never seen anyone play a wii-u outside in the wild either.. It's just too damn big..

You can't really use a Wii-U in the wild. The handheld needs to be kept pretty close to the main console to function.

exitfire401 · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 13 January 2017, 19:01:51 »

As much as I want one, I'm gonna pass on pre-ordering until we see more titles for launch. Breath of Wild is looking nice, but I doubt it's going to be enough to keep my attention for long.

I meant outside as in outside (my house).. and too big as in the controller being too big.. not too big as in you'd carry the whole wii u kit around with you. hahahaha.

I think the majority of us old guys are compelled by nostalgia more than anything else..

Because I've not sat down firm to play ANY games for at least 5 years. Yet I've purchased many of them..

Games arn't actually that fun for adults, when the there are so many options available , ones that pay money..

I can't really see gaming the same as I would when I was younger.. I see games now as something they should PAY ME to use.. what exactly do I GET out of playing games..

This is different from when I was younger, because it was either play games or Homework.. so... i mean hahahahahahaha.. games won that one..

Ya I'm going to order the colored ones but the store here had no other preorders except games and console. Going to look for Zelda limited edition, doubt I'll find one though.

This is the best option.

Computer for solo extreme gaming and online with friends around the world.

Switch for the games you(if you're around my age) grew up with and local gaming. I love gaming with my spouse and friends. It was only three nights ago I busted out the N64 for classic Mario kart and smash bros!

If you had to choose, just weigh out which of the two would bring you more joy, don't worry about anyone else

It's completely different

Did you not watch the release trailer..

If you buy Nintendo Switch.. You will go to an airport, and meet a super cute girl playing nintendo switch.. and then you're gonna play nintendo switch together..

Then you'll have an entire rooftop full of extreme attractive friends, who also play nintendo switch..

The question isn't whether you're going to get one. Of course you will get one! There is no thinking necessary.
It's whether you'll pre-order that's the itch.

I was intrigued when I heard the price point. It is more reasonable than I had expected... however, I am a very casual gamer-- who's most likely to game if I can do it on the go... that being said, I don't this Switch's mobile capabilities (at least at the get-go) will be enough to sway me. Really, only 3 hours of mobile gameplay with the new Zelda game? Meh... maybe they will release a "New" Switch in 2018 that will be more capable in the battery department...

I always wait for console revisions. The only exception was for the Wii; I had gotten the console when it still had GCN ports and compatibility, and I'm glad I didn't go for the Wii mini since it was a downgrade, rather than an upgraded revision.

Yeah. Hardware revisions are a given these days, especially with Nintendo. It's best to hold off if you're not a huge gamer that needs new systems/titles to play.

$60 a year for multi-player is an instant pass. Not going to pay the price of a brand new game to be able to play the games I already paid for. Was going to get one for splatoon 2, but ehhh.

Probably just pick up a gtx 11 series when they come out or something.
