That's really dependent on the individual. I've used mine in hand held mode less than 20 times since I bought it. A lite would not be superior in my opinion

I seem to be in minority. I don't own a television so the handheld is far superior.

I didnt get down to Walmart last night sadly, and forgot my wallet at home today, so not looking like it will be today either...

---

Yes. Nintendo Switch is fantastic. :)

---

Consider Fire Emblem too.

A new, better Switch model is coming out in summer, if you've waited this long to get one a few more months wouldn't hurt?

There is no proof to back this claim up.

In fact, Nintendo themselves said to not expect a better Switch at all.

Also, Nintendo doesn't release hardware in the same year as either Sony or Microsoft.

And also consoles are almost always holiday season.

yeah get Mario Odyssey it's my favourite.
Smash Ultimate would be good too if you have friends. I like the game, I tried playing with my girlfriend but she sucks too bad and gets mad when she loses.

Sure, I guess? Xbox sucks and PS4 suddenly decided they know better than the ESRB, so Nintendo's the only decent console option left.
Still, usually better to get it during holiday season when there's a sale, bundle, or some other offer (I got mine w/ a $50 Game Stop gift card).

I've literally never used my Switch out of docked mode. Lite would be terrible for me.

In what way besides being less expensive is the Switch Lite superior to a regular Switch?

More portable i guess?
Less power, and some games cant be played on it though, so not worth it.

Basically this...

I was going to jokingly reply, "No, do it tomorrow" but this topic has gone a few days at this point >_>

Besides being smaller and the hardware in theory being more reliable since you don't have to worry about connections, the only other advantage would be the better battery life... but you're giving up so much for that.

I mean, it depends on what other systems you have and if you have a gaming computer with thousands of steam games.

If you do have such a computer, there are just so many games to play already. If you have both a ps4 + a computer, it gets to the rediculous levels, just for games that are VERY good but either free or super cheap at this point.

The switch meanwhile has the biggest selling point of making some games mobile that you can't play on the go any other way.

Zelda to me, plays just as well on the Wii U as the switch, for a fraction of the price.

Mario Odd is fun, but super short for the main game, and meh for the after game (For me). I finished the main game in a weekend, put in about 5-6 hours in post game, and then sold it (for what I paid for it due to gamepass from best buy) and returned the switch to best buy as well (for a full refund). This was when the switch first came out.

There were no other games that I was interested in out at the time(already owned zelda) and none coming out in the next 6 months. I found Mario ODD was the shortest of the games I have played, though quite fun for the duration.

Now there are more games, but many have also been ported (like octopath traveler), so I still don't really have a reason to get one (wish i did). You might have less games, and more genres you enjoy though.

You could get a used one, the old battery life ones are not too expensive, but i wouldn't really shell out $300 and then more for the games you want right now, unless you have a good 5+ that you really want on the system you can't play anyway.

Or if you are just dead out of games you wanna play, and you don't really have a mobile game system, and that is enough for you.

I didn't like Mario on the mobile screen, it was too small and hard to see things. So playing the lite seems pointless to me, although obviously some games would be better on that than mario was.

They also have a new Marvel game for it....which is.....ALMOST enough for me to get one. If they ever have a good sale, or I see someone selling one used for like $150 or something, I may pick it up, just to get the marvel game and a couple others.

But nope, I wouldn't suggest spending $400 + (for the system + games) right now. Too many good PC games coming out in the near future (cyber 2077, Balders Gate 3, Phantasy Star online 2 etc ).

My gaming docket is full already for the next 6 months, and who knows what will be announced by then. PS already announced for this year, so.......it's fairly likely we may see a new nintendo next year. I'm hoping they go VR with their next system as well, considering the fact that the Nintendo systems have been semi-VR (or at least having movement controls etc) so it's just a small jump...and I could see alot of nintendo mainstays being awesome in VR.

STar Fox, Metroid, Mario of course, Mario cart etc would all be awesome in VR, Nintendo also usually rocks the party game genre, and it would be nice to see it come back to being a leader in RPG games (Been so long) only in the VR arena now.

But yeah, I regret getting the Wii U, it was really a bad system (game wise), and I don't regret holding off on the Switch at all.

I honestly love mine. Nintendo hit the right balance of gimmicky and functional with it.
