Current Events > Should I get a Switch CE

(+) Yeah! (+)

Kind of want one, Target has them in stock.

Really kind of want to play the VC games as well, more so than the other games.

For those who have a Switch, have you felt like it was worth it? What's the likelihood of them adding more games to their catalog with the online purchase?

Yes. It's a good first party and indy games machine.

No

Yeah

Yeah but not if you only care about VC. Better ways to play those games tbh

Yeh.

I don't use it as often as my PC but it's got a nice selection of first party games and indie games

Being able to put it in handheld and play in bed or dock it for a console experience is cool

I mean, I kind of care about the other games. But I'd probably only buy them when they're on sale.

Like Metroid, the Mario games, Zelda, etc. Probably not stuff like AC, Smash, Pokemon, etc.

Nintendo first party games never go on sale dude

It's worth it for those games alone imo. And it's also an indie machine. I say get it but lower your expectations for the VC stuff.

On sale, used, w/e.

I mean do they mess with the library a lot with the online/expansion? I'm not expecting them to add every game, but if they fuck with the library a bunch by taking games away or whatnot, that'd be annoying tbh.

I'm more saying that I'd buy it first for the downloadable games and then eventually start buying other games when I want to. But it wouldn't be just for the VC games.

Nah

I bought mine in April 2018. I still use it daily.

They haven't taken any away to my knowledge, but they are very very sparing on adding additional ones (especially with NES/SNES in the last few months) and the additions are usually not that great. They did add some Genesis and look like they'll be adding one to N64 every month or so (added Paper Mario this month and Banjo-Kazooie will be coming next month). They do have a slate of coming N64 titles as well.

Only if you enjoy Nintendo first party games, otherwise it's bleh. I have more fun gaming on my pc.

I'd say yes if you like some of the first party exclusives. It's not worth it if all you want are the old games though. Because keep in mind, it's not like the old Virtual Console where you just buy the games you want. You only have access to them if you pay for the Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

It's been worth it to me, but I always have the newest Nintendo Console just for the exclusives. I have about a dozen games that I can't get on other platforms.

They've said they will continue to add NES and SNES games, along with more N64 games, but their release schedule has always been kind of sporadic. They go months without adding anything sometimes.

mine's just collecting dust
bought it for Monster Hunter Rise, haven't really played it since I got sick of that
