Did it now.

Retail

  • Astral Chain
  • Xenoblades Chronicles 2
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Digital

  • Golf Story
  • Cuphead
  • Ori and the Blind Forest

Then there's the prospect of double dipping (Slay the SpireDead Cells, and others).

Consindering the (supposed) quality of these games I'd say a Switch would be worth it now. However, I'm also thinking about the Switch's future and it doesn't particularly fill me with hope that I'll get enough out of the console in the long run. And there's also the fact that a Switch plus one retail game would cost me 350€ (and maybe half of it would come from Christmas gifts). Would probably sell the dock, though, so maybe minus 40-50€.

Not an easy decision. Since I have a certain amount of disposable income this year I'm 60-70% in favour of buying a Switch :D 

Tune in next time to another episode of "Will drahkon buy a Switch to only play Slay the Spire?". It's a nailbiter, I can tell you. Because I'm writing the show and I'm an amazing writer. Seriously. 

Why not just pick up a Lite or are you worried about the joy-cons breaking down?

That, too. But I'd also get a larger screen and two separate joy-cons for only 50€ more if I sell the dock.

But a Lite is quite tempting at the current 200€. If I can grab a Christmas deal (maybe 20 bucks cheaper) I might actually go for one. But it's the joy-con issue that I'm worried about the most.

Meh. I'll give it one more episode, then I'm turning the channel over.

@drahkon I just wanted to chime in: Astral Chain and Xenoblades Chronicles 2 are really great games! You should get Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country as well if you enjoy the main game. Really good expansion!

Previously on "Will drahkon buy a Switch to only play Slay the Spire?":

The yellow legal pad on drahkon's desk showed two coloumns with the headlines Pro and Cons, respectively. After a couple of minutes of intense thinking and the help of the weird people of N-Europe these coloumns filled with arguments for both sides. 
"The decision has been made..."

The lack of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on that list is disappointing. You've lost a subscriber and i'll keep the nudes for myself.

Well, that list is only for first games. You know...because it says "First [...] game"? So maybe, JUST MAYBE, that game you mentioned might be in my collection eventually. :p

Anyone here who bought a Switch + Mario Kart 8 Digital Bundle?

I could get one for 300€ and would like to know if the game comes pre-installed or if it's a download code? If it's the latter I could sell it as I'm not interested in the game :D

What's the deal with Korean releases having English boxarts, my copy of the Final Fantasy twin pack is in English and I know there were English copies of the Dragon Quest trilogy. They don't seem official though, there's no rating logo on them?

Looking at the packaging, it says "Full Game Download" on the box so I'm guessing it's a download code, so assuming that's the case you could sell it...

...also, you monster! :p

Seriously though... if you do end up with Mario Kart 8 DX on your Switch you'd be more than welcome to race against us in the N-E Mario Kart League. :peace:

Out of interest, are you not interested in it because you had it on the Wii U or played it before perhaps? Because if so, I thought that at first but the difference is night and day. :smile:

I can't seem to find a large enough picture of the bundle to check it myself. 

This is the one of the store in question:

Played it to death with a mate on his Switch, so I don't really need it myself :p

You just combined Dragon Quest and Pokémon:nono:

But thanks :D 

Reserved one because apparently you can't order one from their store. If everything goes well I can pick it up tomorrow or Monday. Here's hoping they won't cancel my reservation :peace:
