Interesting how they haven't changed the form factor really. It'll be interesting to see what's better about it and if it's worth while to buy. I find Nintendo consoles are usually the ones to buy, if you're into consoles.
Am I wrong for thinking the Switch was the only worthwhile console of the last generation? Other than having to wait a while for some good exclusives like GoW or Ghost of Tsushima what value did the PS5/XBS have.
I personally haven't bought any consoles since G7 (had 360 & PS3). Switch seemed like the only one that would be worth the purchase (I think G8 seemed pretty bleh overall when you have a decent PC, I could run RDR2 not on highest stats but good enough).
No, I think that's pretty much it. I can't think of a reason to buy any console most of the time, but Nintendo at least sticks with (most of the time) games everyone can enjoy that doesn't go hard on lefty bullshit
I didn't buy a console last gen, sticking with my PS4 while building a new PC.
When I have enough spare cash I'll probably pick up either the new switch or the old switch depending on whether or not it has backward compatibility.
Depends on what you consider last generation as the Switch lasted across two others.
Compared to PS5 and whatever Xbox is? Absolutely it was the only one worth anything.
Compared to the PS4 and I guess the Xbone? I think it had solid competition until very late when Sony started selling off exclusives to Steam.
Meh, I bought a switch during the launch week.
That fucker died a week after the 1 year warranty expired. I couldnt find anyone IN ALL OF CANADA who had the skills to replace the charging chip. (was a cherry on top after getting poisoned at arca)
Sold the piece of junk on ebay for a couple hundred canadian. Pretty sure that youtube repair dude bought it. After telling me he couldnt accept any delivery from canada, for some weird reason. He was my last try at trying to find someone to fix it.
Fuck nintendo, glad it broke.
I will have to say, nintendo games have incredible resell value. When I pawned off alot of my shit off after realizing i couldnt keep a job. I nearly got all my money back for my 3ds collection.
If I had put it on the local market, I would have got 50$ for the lot if I was lucky. Got nearly 400$ for the haul, (mostly rpgs) on ebay. Nowadays im so poor I cant even afford buying a cheap 5$ game.
I havent been able to afford a brand new 100$ + tax game in over a year now :(. Starfield was my last purchase, and I wasted my money on that one.
Because Nintendo never drops price or puts anything on sale while its "current" and then barely re-releases anything until selling it at an absurd price later on their e-shop or as a full priced remake.
Which is then compounded by the fact that "collectors" are currently hyping up a huge bubble on retro games and have driven prices so high through legitimate manipulation tactics that Nintendo games literally increase in value overtime despite that not making sense.
The only reason people don't complain about this as hard as they should is because Nintendo also makes the easiest consoles to emulate, so basically no one even bothers buying their older games to begin with.
That sucks. Mine has worked for however many years, no issues.
