Well I finally did it. Hope you guys are happy with yourselves.
It's a nifty little device. Haven't had an opportunity to play portable mode to test it because the wife and I were having a lot of fun with Mario. Only got up to the sand kingdom world.
For the last 40 min we even played at the same time (she took left joy con I took right), heaps of fun.
Linking my account during setup was a headache though. Two step authentication is such a pain I don't even know why I have it on.
The home menu is pretty barebones at the moment, barely any multimedia apps. It's not really a big deal since my ps4 is my main console and pretty much has everything but still surprised nevertheless.
Again the ps4 is and will always be my main console but the selection on the eshop is pretty underwhelming. Pretty much 95% of it I can get on the ps4 and for cheaper too. And I'm hardly surprised that Nintendo's first party titles are pretty much full price still. I guess they'll never change..
I was going to wait a couple of months to buy it because of smash which I'm looking forward to but decided to bite the bullet since it's on sale atm.
The joy con's are actually pretty comfortable to hold but I'd still prefer to play with the pro controller.
From a software perspective I'm very underwhelmed, but hopefully from smash onwards the big budget exclusive software begins to pick up.
Have no idea what will actually release next year but I'm looking forward to the next Gen Pokémon game, Metroid 4, Daemon x machina and yoshi.
The only other titles I'm currently interested in is xenoblade and octopath, the latter I'm hesitant to get because I'm 99% sure it'll hit the ps4 and rather play it on that.
No regrets getting it. Playstation as primary (exclusives + multiplats) + Nintendo as secondary (exclusives) platforms has always been the ultimate combo. I just need to wait for better software output.
And before anyone brings it up, I love zelda-like games but not zelda itself so that's a hard pass.
Also portability isn't a benefit for me lol
