Are you getting Switch or Switch: Lite ?

[Vile]

I’ve been waiting for a few years since the release of the Switch to get the console. It is the only console that interests me and the library is very good. I actually enjoy the idea for the console of a hybrid mobile and home console. I also love how the very good Wii U exclusive library is being ported over cause the Wii U didn’t do as well as anticipated and I never got to play it.

The Switch: Lite releases in a week and will cater as a mobile only version of the console. It can’t be connected to a TV, it’s got a better battery, and the controller is built in. It will be $100 cheaper than the regular Switch and the screen will be a little smaller. A bundle for the console is planned with Pokémon: Shield in one bundle and Pokémon: Sword in the other.

On Black Friday, I plan on grabbing the Switch Lite for a number of reasons. The main one is that I want to use it only as a mobile console and I don’t need the joy cons or the dock.

While there are some that are hating on the Lite, I like the idea behind it. If someone travels quite a bit as a result of business or vacation, they might not want the extra features of the Switch like the Joy Cons or the docking station. If newcomers are looking for a mobile only version for the Switch with a standard built in controller like the Gameboy: Advance, then the Lite appeals to them. Some people might not want clutter around the TV and they might not care for a docking station.

Don't forget iOS and Android for gaming.

What do you mean??? i mean how's IOS and Android related to Vita?

The member you quoted cited the PS Vita as the only alternative to the Nintendo Switch.

You can play games without buying a handheld console nowadays.

Since BOTW 2 is on the way, it'll probably be way more affordable for ya when the time comes.

Handheld consoles are dated.

Highly disagree with this. The 3DS was far more popular than Wii U. 3DS games like Story Of Seasons And Monster Hunter 4 weren’t even for Wii U. The games have always been popular on Nintendo and their handheld lines have always been popular. Sony has tried many times to be as successful as Nintendo and they haven’t.

Who said I’m a fanboy ? I can’t stand Nintendo fanboys and they are the very worst of any video gaming brand. You think Steam or Epic or Microsoft or Sony fanboys are bad ? They have nothing on Nintendo fanboys. Nintendo treats customers like ♥♥♥♥ and they don’t care and will defend them no matter how illogical they are being.

I’m buying Switch: Lite for the games and the convenience. I want to chill in my gaming chair or in my bed and play some Switch games. The newest console I own is Wii. It took me many years to get into it and I have all of Nes and SNES on it with the Mini controllers.

I enjoy Wii, but never played the U. Since it bombed fairly quickly, I was waiting to see how Switch fared. When I saw it’s done phenomenal, I decided to wait a few years for an upgraded version with a more established library. 1, 2 Switch was the ballsiest move Nintendo has done and of course it sold well lmao. A $60 tech demo launch game. Now that the majority of the Wii U library has been ported over and there’s amazing Switch exclusives like Super Mario Maker 2, the timing is right.

I may break down and get a switch next gen, if there ever is a next gen. It's a bit underwhelming for my tastes, power-wise.

Otherwise, I wish Nintendo would break down and sell software for PC like Sega did.

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

Switch lite.

Although, as with most new hardware, I am seriously debating waiting until I find out how broken it is.

Nintendo hasn’t been in the power game since Wii. That’s when they concentrated on being different. There was good and bad in this decision. Mainly it was them not only sacrificing power, but they shunned third party games for a long time.

They showed promise with the U and then they again chose to back off from third party support. When they did agree, it was underwhelming. Having the ability to play AC 3 and Mass Effect 3, but not the earlier ones was a terrible business decision. People starting those games would be absolutely lost in the story as they were the ending to each story arc.

The Switch has done far better with welcoming games like Doom, LA Noir, Skyrim, Mortal Kombat 11, and many other games. If someone only had a Wii or Wii U, they missed out on tons of games and many owners of Wii had to have a second console or a PC to play more games and that’s bad business no matter how you look at it.

R* has showed that they are willing to give Switch a chance with LA Noir. I’m hoping to see GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 Nintendo Switch ports. R* said that “they are looking into the possibility of porting their two recent games for Switch”.


As for Sega. Bad business making destroyed them. I highly doubt you will see them in the console business any time soon. They actually are finally in the green these days too.
