I have friends and family holding out from buying a Swiych even though they want one because they're waiting for Nintendo to get their online service straightened out.

They still have a lot of work to do and 2018 seems like "port szn" but Switch year 1 was a good start

If they keep their word fire emblem mainline game out this year

This is dead ass the GOAT system since SNES to me. I was in a dark place for the PS2 era so I can't speak on it, but yeah....I haven't turned on my PS4 in months.

I got a BB gift card to use up and trying to decide between Mario Rabbids (on sale for $30), Skyrim and Mario Kart or pre-ordering Kirby. I never played Skyrim or had a WiiU if that makes a difference. What would everyone suggest?

When the games catch up to the hardware, it's game over.

Tough to say. They're all great games. I really enjoyed Mario + Rabbids. That's a steal for $30

Mario Rabbids is turn based strategy just as a reminder. it's also pretty hard imo. at least around the boo area. If you have someone to play with on the regular, then MK8 deluxe is the game for you out of the 3.

edit: oh thought you were pre ordering kirby regardless. bit of a tough decision.

A year just flew on by, feels like yesterday that Nintendo was doomed and going 3rd party by the summer.:wow:
Honestly I still wish Nintendo would go 3rd party. It would save me the money of buying their hardware simply to have it be a dedicated Nintendo box. I'm guessing we won't see till year 3 and 4 if the Switch will really be any different. I'm still giving this thing the side eye because we've seen stuff like the Wii sell a lot and still not get third party respect.

I know people are still on their honeymoon with the Switch but Nintendo has about a 20+ year history of putting out hardware that mostly amounts to dedicated Nintendo boxes and not much more.

Question, I want to get a system my daughter and I can play together online while I'm away for a few months. She's only 6. From the outside looking in this system seems like it has more games created to be kid friendly than xbox and ps4. Am I right?

You are correct. For that very young audience, this is definitely the better choice of console between the big 3.

However, for a 6 year old, I would definitely recommend a 3DS over the Switch. It's smaller and easier to hold, there's a more fleshed out library with tons of games for little ones (Disney Magical World, Animal Crossing, Super Mario Maker which my 5 year old niece plays daily), and is cheaper. The Switch isn't a bad call, specially if you want them to play on a big screen, but I feel they'd be right at home with a 3DS.

Animal Crossing on the 3DS is a great life simulator and you guys can visit each other's towns and homes. Fish together, design clothes. It's a lot of fun.


3DS or 2DS is a good console for her. Mario Kart bundles are still out there I believe.

i haven't bought a nintendo console since gamecube. i'm so out the loop i didn't know the 3ds and 2ds was a multiplayer handheld. i'll go with that and get a switch for myself.
