Completely anecdotal, but there was a ton of traffic at their booth in just the half hour I was there with some pretty thin shelves. Gonna be interesting to get their holiday numbers.

Between the Switch and the SNES Classic, Nintendo has been killing it the past three months.

I'm still totally surprised, honestly. I was one of the biggest doubters of the Nintendo Switch ever since I saw the Nintendo conference about it.

"Why would I want to take the system with me anywhere?"
"What's the point of taking the controllers off of the system?"
"The battery life is only 3 hours!? I'm NOT buying it."

Bought it, took the console with me to multiple places, and have played it for hours on end. Playing with the joy-cons detached is also my favorite way to play. I've played my Switch a ton more than my PS4 or my Xbox One S. To be fair, I primarily bought the Xbox One S to play 4K blu-rays, but...

Yeah, I'm surprised.

Yep, after how poorly the Wii U did I'm really glad the Switch is turning things around. The Wii U should've been what the Switch is, in all honesty.

Still the same tiny section for Nintendo games at every store I've been to

The switch library is only so big at this point tbh

Still was swamped with folks when I went

This also bothered me. Turns out 2-3 hours of straight gaming on a device that isnt good for anything else is kind of a long time.

It would be terrible for phones, but it's decent for a gaming console.

The battery life really does depend on the game too. Which makes sense. Something like Golf Story lasts a lot longer than BOTW.

Yeah. I also have a 26000mAh battery pack, so I just bring that along with me if I'm expecting longer gaming sessions away from home.

If I genuinely actively play Zelda nonstop I get approximately 2.5 hours.

I've had other games like Blaster Master Zero last much longer. Roughly 5 hours.

especially on a console that isnt very "pocketable"(for lack of better term)

on something like the GBA or DS I would hate 3 hours of battery life because its small enough to carry most of the time and just pop out for a few minutes of play here or there, but something like the Switch is more of a conscious decision to lug it around

It had some great games but the issue is hardly anyone bought it. I'm actually glad most of its good games are getting ported to the Switch in that case.

I need two more games to interest me before I get one, but I'll probably buy one myself in this upcoming year. I'm still a little hesitant after getting burned with the Wii U
