Anyone bought the new Nintendo console? Anyone hoping to get hold of one but can't?
If you haven't heard of it: 2-in-1 console that you can take it out and about with you like a GameBoy or DS, then slot it into the TV-connected-dock at home to play on your big screen.

It's unique how you can share one controller to make two when playing the 2 player games. Reckon it may grow when Fifa etc come on it, may be a watered down version but who wouldn't wanna just be able to take the console out and about/to their friends with them and play 2 player Fifa with ease?
Anyone else get one?
Trouble is, that fact might put a lot of people off from buying Fifa Switch, resulting in low sales and EA not bothering with FIFA 19 and 20 on the platform. Pretty much the same thing happened with FIFA on Wii U.
Also, some of the joy cons are faulty, there's a pixelation problem and the stand is prone to scratching the screen! Nintendo don't usually make those mistakes.
But I agree that the Mario games will be big for the system but they had Zelda to release with and that got 10/10 reviews. Mario kart next month will be perfect!
Zelda is amazing, and thats coming from someone who hasn't really liked the previous ones. Honestly one of the best games I've ever played.
A game on the e-shop called SnipperClips is also a really fun co-op puzzle game.
Getting Bomberman soon too which I hope will be great.
Glad to see other lifers interested in Nintendo stuff, proving its not just for us kids
I honestly believe this could be a console that adults will change their mind. If only rockstar brought out GTA for it. Imagine the latest one being portable, even if it was an Xbox 360 port, would still be impressive seeing as Skyrim is being brought out on it soon.

This video makes the new Zelda look like a lot of fun...
Is that voice part of the game ?
The catalouge is getting bigger and it's more than a powerful enough console. Just like always with Nintendo, wish it would get support. Like Spyro and Crash etc, they get released on the PS4 and Xbox first and then released on the switch half a year later with the same graphics, gameplay etc but they just want to double up on sales I recon.
I play it in both and would say it's one of the best consoles I've enjoyed in years. Like you said, all the games I've played are great and being able to pick it up and carry on Mario away from home was perfect for the commute and lunch breaks. Would love them to bring out an updated Wii Sports for it. Recon that would sell well and sell more consoles. Even just put the old one on there in HD Graphics on the eStore for download for like £19.99 and it would sell.
I brought a decent portable battery that's good for a few recharges. Worth doing if you're taking a longer trip without a plug available.
The library itself can get a lot better but it is getting there. Particularly looking forward to Dark Souls and Undertale being made available.
(to be honest I know nothing about any gaming consoles)
It's a portable and home console in one. A hybrid console so I would say it's worth the money, your kid will love it!
Mostly play small games too - Tumblestone, Lode Runner, Tetris. Only the demo of Tetris though, I refuse to pay £35 for a Tetris game. Mario Tennis is excellent, especially with the flashy stuff turned off.
