Pestneb Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 I guess that shows another reason I've not gotten a switch.. for me, the switch doesn't differentiate itself (positively) from the Wii U enough to warrant a purchase. In fact, with it's web browser, the Wii U is actually a superior console... the switch's main draw is that I could use the game pad anywhere in my house... but without a web browser, I'd only be using it docked anyway :/ Still, I'm happy enough Nintendo is experiencing a greater degree of success with the switch!

Surprising to hear you say that. For me, hardware wise it's obviously much more appealing (lack of web browser apart but I just use my phone or iPad for that) and software wise, there's just no comeptition... Switch is currently on pace to reach 1,000 games by the end of this year (Dec 31st, 2018). It took Wii U over five years to accumulate over 750+ games. 3DS accumulated 1304 games over the course of 7 years. In 16 months it's accumulated an amazing library of games, first party, third party and indie.
Emerald Emblem Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) I want at least half the games on that list, in particular, Mario Party, Tales of Vesperia DE and The World Ends With You. I love my Switch <3 Edited July 22, 2018 by Emerald Emblem

If I had no Wii U and walked into a shop selling a Wii U for £200 with a game and a switch for £300 with a game, I would choose the switch with no hesitation. so sure I agree, but the fact I own a Wii U means that most of the appealing switch library is already owned by me on the Wii U.
Blade Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I've been buying the few Wii U ports that are present with the intention I don't have to switch on that shitty console ever again. Those that are complaining about the ports - they're not that many. Every other console has ports of its games from previous generations. Seems to be the done thing now. It has always been the case too. I remember playing Sonic Jam on the Saturn (the games contained ports of the Mega Drive Sonic games). Also, it is making me smile people not interested in Switch as it has games that the other systems have. Yes, it has both the excellent 1st party quality that it expected together with 3rd party games. I remember last generation the complaints about a lack of games for Wii U. 1

Yes, it has both the excellent 1st party quality that it expected together with 3rd party games. I remember last generation the complaints about a lack of games for Wii U. I think it's more that they have other consoles and would rather buy the games for that (probably cheaper, better online and run better) than pick up the Switch version. It's why you see a lot of people not impressed by the line up because the Switch isn't their first choice console and is more of a secondary piece of hardware. Personally, i'm pretty happy with the line up for the rest of the year. Not to mention I still have things like the Splatoon DLC, Mario and Rabbids DLC and Hollow Knight to play through. The things i'm looking to buy are the Megaman X Collections, Crossing Souls, Go Vacation, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Blade Strangers, Little Dragons Cafe, Xenoblade DLC, Dragon Ball FighterZ, FIFA 19, Starlink, Mega Man 11, Super Mario Party, Pokemon Let's Go and Smash Bros Ultimate. That's a crazy amount of games to be playing before the end of the year and, as I mentioned in the opening post, that's just the things we actually know of and have solid dates for. 1

I'm glad you're going back to Hollow Knight, I think it's a genuinely incredible game. I keep thinking back to my time with it, so good.

I was the same, but hour 5 - 50.... The size of it and the length of time it takes to complete is a big issue of mine. I'm not a big fan of the genre and prefer much smaller experiences when it comes to Metroid style games. I'll really have to be in the right mindset before I tackle it.

Out of interest, have you played Teslagrad? It's like a bite sized Metroidvania type title.

Ronnie Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Just Iconoclasts, Picross, Overcooked, Flipping Death, Dead Cells, Okami for me in August then. Oh and Mario Rabbids DLC and Bomb Chicken. Nothing for me in September though so will probably spend it with the PS4 and Spiderman. Assuming Nintendo doesn't have anything up its sleeve for their online service.
