Would be nice to hear what other adopters think of the console.

[Ephemeralespoir]

I haven't suffered any problems with mine and I'm really enjoying it. I grew up with handhelds so this machine is literally a dream come true for me. The only problem is the lack of games, but I have a few that I want which are coming later this year.

Is it worth investing? Not unless you're dedicated to Nintendo. Is it a good console? Yes, it is. However, don't expect anything close to the PS4 and Xbox. The Switch is unique and only time can tell if this will be enough for it to flourish.

[MVGeneral]

Switch has no games. A drought!

[Highlife]

Thanks for your thoughts nice not to get pure fanboy talk. My son loves everything Mario so I will just wait a few months to get it. Did you have the joy con issue?

[skydragoonityx]

1 month later and after finishing zelda there's no other game to play..

[mcstorm]

Depends on what games your are into and you must of put some time in to finish Zelda fully. I wish I had more time to play on my switch and xbox one & WiiU have way to many games to get through dam getting old.

[CocoaBrother]

I guess the other 6 games I am currently playing on my Switch equals to no other games. News to me

[Yohshida]

I enjoy Fast RMX and Blaster Master Zero. But its still really thin.

@VideoGameLab
Wasn't Blaster Master on the original NES? https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
It's funny that this is on the Switch now.

Sunsoft made some great games back then. This was one of my favorites . https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Snake Pass and Fast RMX both highly recommended from me. Fast RMX is hard as nails and has online, Snake pass s short but sweet, nostalgic and great for completionist. I'm looking forward to about 15 games this year including a few top indie titles!

[Kaneki-Ken]

Haven't touched it ever since I passed Zelda. Probably is going to collect dust until Mario Odesy and Zelda DLC comes out or a Pokemon/Metroid game comes out for it.

[Gemmol]

whats your friend code

[XanderZane]

The fact that there is really on one game worth playing on it right now is the reason I won't get it for at least a year from now. Plus I'm hopefully they fix all the buggy problems that many of the units had at launch.

[ShottyatLaw]

I spent a nice evening on my porch while playing Zelda. Going from portable to TV mode is great. They've sold me on the benefits.

I did have the joy con problem. The repair took 4 days from mailing it out on Tuesday to returning it to me Friday. No other defects on mine.

If you have a Wii U, I'd still recommend waiting until the Fall unless you're a big fan. Come November, you'll have a line-up of at least 4+ 1st Party AAA games and many great indies.

Multiplayer in Snipperclips and Bomberman is great. And the Pro controller is quickly becoming one of my favorite pads. Not disappointed at all.

[Prince_TFK]

For me I love the console, although I wish more games to arrive soon. Playing BOTW in bed is awesome, and make me wish more games (such as persona 5) to be portable like this.

[jaycptza]

There is a Persona game on Vita already. Stop begging

[Sillicur]

So far, I only want a Switch for Zelda, so very tempting tbh!

[Ephemeralespoir]

Wth is up with the downvotes? I bought it for Zelda and its portability factor. Worth it imo but not for most people.

[Prince_TFK]

Dont you know? Dare to say anything good about Nintendo here and you will get hated and downvoted to oblivion. You are allowed only to say good thing about Sony.

[welly300]

Your right if you love Nintendo it's a no brainer.
I'd love sony to do a portable ps4.

[tomr2992]

I took the opinion that I wanted to play Zelda on Switch on launch day.

Working full time I am unable to play for every given hour in the day so despite there not being many games out I'm still enjoying my time with ZBOW and am looking for Mario Kart as my next purchase.

As for the Switch. Cracking little console

Take some time away from gaming people. A beautiful real world out there!

Still playing Zelda so hopefully I'll finish before MK8 deluxe releases. I definitely wish the system had a web browser and more apps like Netflix. I know they're coming but I wish they were there from the start. Still no idea when they will come either. As someone who owns a PC, PS4, and now a Switch, I'm not really bothered by the current lack of games due to playing all those new releases. I already know a bunch of games confirmed for the Switch that I really want so I know its going to be more than a Zelda machine.

[davand114]

It's been pretty dope. I decided to play more games besides Zelda when I'm on the go. Binding of Isaac is really fun and challenging. Fast racing rmx is really good, Snipper clips is fantastic and a lot of fun. The new shovel knight dlc is really good, Bomberman is pretty good and works better since the patch. Blaster master zero is a really fun retro style game and it's pretty cheap. I imported a physical copy of I am setsuna and I can't wait to get GEM, snake pass, and has been heroes. Hopefully we can get some news on Pocket rumble soon, that game looks fun. All in all, the switch is a really good console with a lot to play in its first month of release.

[EddieNX]

This guy gets it^ saying there's just Zelda is ignorant. I'm currently loving Snake Pass and Fast RMX and I'm gunna get shovel knight next, still never played it.

[davand114]

Snake pass looks really good and from what I heard it gets pretty challenging later on in the game. There's so many games coming to the switch that I want. This is the most games I've ever bought for a console in it's launch month. The whole "the switch only has Zelda" thing is just bullshit being said by people that don't have the system. There's so many quality games on the switch right now and I haven't even mentioned the neo-geo games that I want to get.

[Athos]

I have enjoyed mine a lot. I have a couple of vacation homes and such so its mice to be able to take it on the road with me. Zelda is simply a masterpiece, fast RMX is a fun ride as well.

[YoungKingDoran]

I'll definitely get one if they make a revision & they address some of the issues. With Nintendo's handhelds their 2nd models usually have way better designs and functionality anyway

[_-EDMIX-_]

Same

[StormLegend]

Love mine! Enjoyed Zelda and now I need other games to play. It is kinda sad when you see that the next big game is a port of a Wii U game. The first true Switch games are Arms and Splatoon 2 This is gonna be a long time waiting.

[chris235]

"first" month? will there be more? i thought the switch was pretty much DOA minus some zelda fans?
