Nintendo is not going to change their formula. A first party game every year or so. If that's worth it to you, go for it.

Wait for a price drop/remodel. One of them should happen by the end of next year I'd wager, and Smash likely isn't launching until at least next summer anyway assuming they got straight to work on a new one.

Go to the Switch's page (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/switch).
Look at the top 10.
If you see more than 3 games that you want, go for it.

Kinda, don't really care about 3rd party stuff since I have other systems for that. 1st party titles seem to be piling up now though.

Honestly I value the Switchs portability more than I ever thought I would. I figured itd be a nice feature but not one Id use that often, but I sometimes find I use it even when a TV is an option because I wanna lay in bed. Not to mention when the wife is using the TV or sleeping and I dont want to wake her, or I have a break at work, etc.

I was skeptical Id wanna play certain games in handheld mode, but Id never played Doom and had a gift card so I took a flyer on it. Had a complete blast, ran like a charm and played probably 75% of it portably.

All told, the portability is a really underrated factor. Running something as impressive as Doom on a handheld is still a little marvel to me; sure, it would look better on my gaming PC, but it still looked really nice and the ability to just swap back and forth was insanely handy when I was addicted and couldnt put it down.

There have been like 6 first party titles just this year.

BotW, SMO, MK8DX, Pokken DX, ARMS, Xenoblade 2.

There are even more if you count stuff like 1-2-Switch, and they're starting the second year with a new Kirby.

I've tried to play in bed before I find it to be too clunky to hold over my face while I'm laying down. I play it docked probably 95% of the time

I'm still waiting, though I really want one

$250+ for the system, $40-60 per game... I'm dropping like 400 bucks to play Zelda (50 hours), Mario (15 hours) and Skyrim for the bazillionth time? Nah, I'll wait another year

Also everyone puts Xenoblade on their list yet the reviews are a resounding "they could have done better - very generic JRPG". Yeah that really sells it for me...

In terms of the story it's nothing truly unique but I really liked the gameplay. Plus most of the issues have gotten patched by now. (It's getting an extensive New Game+ feature in March 3rd as well.)

FYI if youre a completionist or even slightly interested in doing optional content, you will get more hours out of Zelda and Mario than that.

Yeah the 100% speed run world record for Mario Odyssey is like 15 hours, and thats after thousands of hours of practicing and routing. So far Ive got 45 hours in that game and I still havent gotten everything.

With all the Wii U ports (and more possibly guaranteed) it'd save more money to get a Switch instead.

Yes, sorry if I wasnt clear, but when I said the Switch has no games, I meant it has no games that interest me in particular, for completely subjective reasons, and this is Nintendos fault - too many people
