Why havent you bought a switch yet?
- Thread starter SantaC
- Start date
I was gonna wait for more news about Metroid, but ended up caving in October last year because of Pokémon and Smash hype. BotW was my first game, I currently own 8 physical games and I'm planning to buy like 12 more for the rest of the year.
Waiting on a price drop, but I'm worried it will end up like most of my other Nintendo consoles and just be a Zelda/Mario/Mario Kart machine, which while fun, usually leaves me with about 5/6 games per console, plus the Wii U kinda soured me a bit on Nintendo.. the influx of indies is tilting me more toward it though.
I mean I have one that I haven't touched in months so I can't really fault anyone. I'll finally dust it off for Mario Maker 2
I picked other reasons because of the other reasons in the poll XD
- The library of games does not interest me
- I dont care for the portabel aspect
- I dont like the hardware
Not powerful enough for my tastes.
I only tend to buy one console, and for that to be the switch, I would need more AAA third party games on it.

Waiting for a pro version. I don't care at all about portable, I just want a bit stronger console and I'm in.
If the rumors about it being a thing are bs I'll just go get a regular model. At this point im going to have lots to play so I'm not stressed.

I was going to when it came out but I have limited money and decided VR was a better path to go. Never cared for portability always used the inside 99% of the time.
Was going to get one again after I could save from buying a VR headset but now that PS5 is looming I'll probably just wait till near the end of its life when it's cheap.

I bought one, lugged it around Central America for 3 months while travelling for work. I opened up Zelda a few times but just couldn't get into it. So I sold it for $100 more than I bought it and called it a day. I'm saving that money for the PS5.
I love the idea of handhelds, and nothing will beat the magic of my first game boy. And still, I think I just have to admit they aren't for me. I say this after having bought gameboys in their multiple iterations, Nintendo DS, and a Vita.

I bought a Switch because i was interested in Mario+Rabbids, played it for two days and then never touched it again before selling it a few months later. So yeah i'm mainly not interested in the library of games on Switch and i doubt i will ever get one again.
firstly i dont buy consoles very often, and i already bought a Wii U about 4 years ago
even if i was in the market for a system it wouldn't be a switch, not with expense under-powered hardware, and not with next gen right around the corner, and not with how i felt they abandoned the Wii U to quickly

Because every time the mood strikes me I remember that BOTW is the only game it has that really interests me. Plus I don't want to pay the Nintendo tax.
So almost 1/3 of voters find nothing in the library? Wth, maybe if it was on a forum where NHL, NFL or CoD mattered (mainstream), but on Era? Wow
waiting on a new model at this point. Nintendo has been doing some amazing Switch games and got really exited with their direct to the upcoming titles but at this point I dont want to dive into an older model while a new one seems like its on the horizon. just wished they would hurry up already
Three of the reasons in the poll.
There aren't enough games, I don't care about portability and I might as well wait for the new model.

My 3DS goes into my pocket and I leave. Can't do that with the Switch. When I can, I'll buy one.
Anyways, I'm saving up to buy it on black friday
Are people here really acting like the Switch is perfectly portable when that thing is big and clunky as fuck? That thing feels awkaward to hold and its not something I can imagine literally carrying around in my pocket like a DS Lite.
2D Zelda
2D Metroid
Advance Wars
F-Zero
The only one of those for Switch is Link's Awakening and the art is a gigantic turn off.
1st party titles I like:

Try harder :PHere's my go to whenever someone claims it's not pocket sized:
Remember that a lot of the library is on different consoles/PC too.
Do you want me to pull up the Turkish Lira exchange rate graphs OP?
(a Switch with no games comes out to something like almost 1.5 months of minimum wage)

I'm waiting for the yuzu emulator to mature, or if the new switch hardware is worth it. But I'd rather play the games on PC.
Lack of games i'm interested in and hearing tons of rumors about another new switch model coming.
At this point.. only Pokemon and Super smash bros are the only games I have interest in. But i'm not gonna spend over $300 for just 2 games.

Waiting for the Switch 2 and I don't care about portable gaming right now. I actually never felt the urge or need to play on the go. Also I think that it is too expensive for what it does and I really don't trust the battery to last 6-7 years (typical console life cycle).
I guess I actually did buy one already, but I bought it for my niece for her birthday. Unfortunately I bought it when there was like... some kind of shortage and the only one I could get was one off Amazon for 400 bucks.
I'm just waiting for more games that I want to play before I get one of my own. Animal Crossing would've been that. Luigi's Mansion 3 will probably be that instead, now.
Even though PS5 will be BC with PS4, I'm more likely to buy a PS4Pro sooner than a Switch to be honest.

Not interested, at all tbh. I mean, now that we can emulate BotW all I have to do is buy the game for use on my computer, right? The novelty of "being able to play your games on the go" doesn't appeal to me, and ultimately just reminds me of how I wound up feeling about Super Gameboy back in the day...
Up until this year it was that the library didn't have enough exclusives that warranted the purchase for me. I have a Wii U and have Breath of the Wild there, so that left maybe 3 I would have picked up for the system. But with Cadence of Hyrule, Link's Awakening, Tetris 99, Fire Emblem, and Sword & Shield entering the equation, it's a lot easier to pull the trigger. Plan to get one now.
Downloading roms are always illigal, doesnt matter if you own the game.
https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#download_rom explains it well.
The portability aspect doesn't do much for me, other than dictate that the hardware be relatively weak, and its exclusives aren't enough of a draw for me at this point. (I played the Wii U versions of BoTW and Bayonetta 2 already. Maybe the BoTW sequel and Bayonetta 3 will pull me in.)
During the last gen I had a PS3, 360 and wii and realised I had neither the time nor money for all of them so I decided to pick one platform to play, I chose PlayStation as I spent most of my time on it anyway and have stuck with them ever since.
