Me vs the Switch
9 years ago
General
I'm just done with the whole idea of nintendo being a thing for me. I see everything that people are yacking about, and frankly for me it does not warrant the price that they're asking. Considering that the Switch will essentially be a cut-off point, meaning no backwards compatibility for consoles that when they break, and they will, that means I'm SOL. And all of that money that you spent on those games for that system, games that you might enjoy or even love the hell out of will go to waste alongside your money.
When the Wii came out, I still had my gamecube and was happy with that. However; when the thing finally gave out, I tried to take it to a Nintendo repair center and they essentially said “can't help ya man. This baby is beyond what we can do and we don't sell anymore of them. Get the new Wii and you'll be able to play the games on that.” I had not heard at the time that the Wii can play my gamecube games, but since I heard that it can, I had a bit of hope for the Wii. But now I do not have that option with the Switch. And it doesn't help that a few of my favorite franchises are, for the most part, not going to see the light of day again, there's just no point. Again, the price is the first and final hurdle for me. Besides, none of the games that they showcased and listed has won me over. Already have Skyrim on a far superior platform (PC). Sure people can say how great it is and that Breath of Wild is worth buying it, I can just get it for the Wii U if its so great. Anyhow just had to get that out of my system and also to let you all know that I'm alive-ish. Have a good one FA.
