GeppyX Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) I don't know. I've always been kinda split with the Nintendo Switch. I was stoked when it was first coming out. I remember being hyped about the new system. It definitely looks better than the Wii U and I was disappointed in the Wii U. The only problem is I have yet to find many exclusives on the Switch that I want. Some of the main ones are already on the Wii U, such as Mario Kart or Smash. I just don't see a lot of additions. I noticed that the Switch does have some shmups such as Cotton and several others. However, those titles are already on the PlayStation 4.. And PS4 has better quality. The one benefit to having the Switch is you can play these games on a handheld. But I don't know if that feature can justify me spending a few hundred bucks. I want to like the Switch but I tried it at GameStop and honestly wasn't all that impressed. So I'm split.. What do I not like about the Switch? 1. Graphics are not superior, compared to modern standards on a 4kTV. 2. Lack of exclusive games that I really want What makes me consider a Switch? 1. Being able to play shmups on a handheld 2. I want a PS5 but hard to get one 3. It looks nicer than the Wii U, which isn't saying much Edited December 27, 2021 by GeppyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It may seem as though there’s not many exclusive’s on the Switch, but I’m going to assume that all you have seen thus far is what’s on the shelves at GameStop. If you got one and checked the eShop, you will find hundreds. Especially if you sign up for Nintendo Online. That will give you access to a lot of titles from past systems such as NES & SNES. I currently have 118 DDL’s on my Switch, plus 30 something carts, many of which are multiple game carts. As for the graphics, I think you might be off a bit. For example, I have Skyrim on PS4, and Switch. The graphics are identical. Also have the game on PS3, but that’s another point. So I would recommend either getting one, or if you’re close to anyone who has one, asking them to let you poke around in the eShop on the promise that you aren’t buying but just trying to decide whether to buy one or not. Also it supports online play from anywhere. So as long as you have a good wi-fi connection, you and your friends can game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Are you not into the exclusive games Nintendo has? They pretty much have the most exclusives among consoles, but I get that some of their games aren't all that interesting to everyone. I like my share of the typical Mario games, but I don't get into a lot of the other franchises like I used to. I'd still love to get a switch, but I'm in no rush.

I just watched a video from Metal Jesus and I'm really surprised at how many games the Switch does have, that look interesting to me. Now I really want one. But do you think that they will out of Gamestop pretty soon if something else comes along? Where I'm at, Gamestop doesn't offer 3DS or Wii U anymore. Only PS4/5, Xbox Series X/One and the Switch.

The Blackangel Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 GameStop already has the Switch. They have had it for a very long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We mostly buy from the newegg as they ship internationally. And also switch is one time investment for most of the games. I don't keep on buying minor upgraded models like those 4k support one. But apart from that I think if you want to play switch based games then it's worth a buy.

GeppyX Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Well I ended up getting the Switch OLED and I must say I am impressed. It looks much better than I thought. For some reason I wasn't impressed when I tried it at Gamestop. But I have Darksiders Genesis and Ori. Both look good on the handheld and on the tv. I also got the Genesis and N64 expansion pack. I ordered the Psyikio Schmup Collectors Edition and am looking forward to the shooters. I'm happy that I got it. I can't get the PS5 for a while, so I'm having plenty of fun with this.

Zesty Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I think the switch is a fun portable console to play when you want to keep yourself busy. But it's not something to replace a console like an Xbox or Playstation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 For any one who is looking for portable, he or she should look out for switch handheld device. As for me, I'm contented with my PS4 and laptop gaming devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 My three devices serve as a handheld devices for me, I know mobile gaming aren't on same level Switch but at least their are games on mobile phone that got quality, COD mobile, GTA Vice City, Dream League soccer all make sense with mobile phone.

Head_Hunter Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 You stick around your three devices, if you think they serve you better in terms of gaming and otherwise, then you shouldn't look elsewhere getting a handheld device like switch.

Clasher Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Why are people just talking about Nintendo switch not having exclusives. Personally I don't see that as a big deal, PS5 was made exclusive and people still were complaining that they can't lay their hands or even get to own one for themselves. Nintendo switch was made for people to enjoy and play games that they enjoy and these games are made readily available to everyone and from anywhere. This to me is good as I wouldn't want to be stuck trying to get an exclusive game and I wouldn't get access to it until after a few months because it is limited.
