Hmm. Think this'll be the first Nintendo console I don't buy at launch since the N64 (when I was much more into beer and girls)
It's not so much the console, as it looks a fantastic bit of kit, it's the poor launch line up. There's only BotW I'm interested in, and I can get that for Wii U without shelling out an extra £300. The lure of being able to take it on the go is not enough. That, plus no VC at launch, and it's not very tempting to me.
I had similar reservations with the Wii U, but even with that, ZombiU interested me, and there was a brand new Mario game that couldn't be played on any older console. But after that and NintendoLand got a bit stale, there wasn't much to keep me interested.
I'll likely buy one leading up to Christmas, as it'll likely be cheaper then, and hopefully Mario Odyssey will be out too.
