You're not really much better here either IMO.
There's an OP and a topic you could and probably should contribute towards instead.
If you need to say ignore the main 3 strengths of something to criticize it maybe don't bother. (And actually the Switch is a lot of fun to play Bethesda ports on by the way)If you don't care about portability, indies and/or Nintendo first party, the Switch is basically a nice-looking paper weight.
So then what can we do about your Switch collecting dust? Tell you to make some money on the side?
They're all a thread like this deserves
Doesn't sound like your issue is with the Switch as much as your taste in games and limited funds. You dismiss indie games because they are indie and don't view them as being worth their asking price because of the means in which they were created.I'm not asking you to solve my issue. I'm just voicing my opinion on the Switch.

Indeed.
If you're only interested in the big games Nintendo puts out once in a generation (Smash, Pokemon), you probably should've waited until they were out before buying a Switch, especially if you're trying to cut down on unnecessary spending. That goes for every console, actually; you should only get it if there's a good amount of games you want to play on it. It's why I don't own an Xbox One, despite being bombarded by good deals for it.Becasue I'm a college student and can't be dropping $60 on every game that looks cool?

Because it is Nintendo's only console out there. How is that a question?
I'll play it when it hits $10 or less. I'm not the type of person to spend $20 on an indie game.
What exactly do you find it alright to buy?Becasue I'm a college student and can't be dropping $60 on every game that looks cool?
I bought Octopath Traveler despite me not liking old style turn based games and pixel art so of course I dropped it after a few hours. Same thing with Hollow Knight. I do not like 2D Metroidvania's so I had no love for Hollow Knight.
They're fine but I have so many from getting them for free on PS+ I don't feel the urge to spend $15 on some 8bit retro game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks amazing but I don't know if I want to spend $60 on it. It's hard to justify it when games drop in price so quickly on other consoles while Nintendo never budges on their price.
If there were some really neat 3D style indie games I would be totally on board. My issue isn't with it being an indie but the large majority of indie games are retro style 2D games. Which I am not a huge fan of. I grew up with the PS2 so I have no nostalgia towards 2D games.
He's not into indie games nor do they want to pay full price for major releases. So what does that leave?Like he's told you he's not into those style of games. I think it's time to move on.
He's said in the OP that he tried Hollow Knight so he did try.

Why are you buying games that you know full well that you won't like?
Why?
Those games aren't free, you're still paying for them.
We already established that you're bad at spending money as you buy games that you know full well that you don't like and then surprise surprise end up not liking them.
There's no point in worrying about $60 purchase, especially when you stated that you're getting Pokémon despite stating that you don't like turn base RPG and guess what? Pokémon is a turn based RPG.
You might as well sell your switch, if you are not going to open your mind in what games to get.
That just sounds like an excuse to complain about buying something you actually knew you wouldn't use the main feature for, though, and wondering why it doesn't appeal to you after. You knew it was portable going in and that it was the focus.I didn't buy a portable console. I bought Nintendo's hybrid home console. It just so happens there hasn't been anything released that I've enjoyed since BotW. Indies I pick up on Xbox or PS4 and haven't been impressed with Nintendo's portathon approach.
All honesty, it was purchased as a review device, but lost interest shortly after launch.
Not trying to start a console war but right now on the PS4 store I can buy Battlefield 1 for $5 or Unravel 2 for $10.
You don't need to have nostalgia to appreciate Celeste. You are dismissing the game because of its look.

Don't complain about others' valuing portability, then.Because it is Nintendo's only console out there. How is that a question?
Buy them then and play them?
I'm really, really not sure where this topic is going at this point.
The Switch isn't all that great for a lot of people if you take out the portability aspect.
My point is that the eShop needs to start doing sales like these. I play my PS4 so much and wish my Switch would get the love it deserves.
