Get StartedI'm a huge, huge gamer. I own a PC and a PS4. My 4 year old plays the Disney Infinity (RIP) and enjoys himself too.
Having said that, I'm not a big gamer outside of the house and I don't want to set the example for my kids of having my eyes glued to a screen all the time. For the Switch to be a hit in this house it will need to step up the hardware game. My last experience with Wii was awful when it came to titles being dumbed down (can't speak on the WiiU). It'll be interesting to see what they stuff in that thing, my kid would love some of the Nintendo only titles I'm sure.
Or it could be a massive success like the Wii.
I don't care about specs as nearly as much as everyone else. I have a PS4 and a decent PC. Don't need to play the most souped-up games all the time.
If the game is fun and the system works, I'll enjoy it.
I don't need souped up games but I don't want dumbed down games either. When we bought a Wii many years ago, Madden looked like dog shit. I haven't bought a Nintendo product since. Maybe Wii U fixed it, maybe Switch fixes it. Not sure.
New Zelda looked just fine to me.
Ultimately, if it does what it needs to do as a home console and pumps out good content like Zelda, Mario, Smash, etc... it's all good for me. My PS4/PC can handle whatever top flight stuff I need.
hey gamer nerds:
I just bought my first new console in 15 years, one of those retro Super NES deals
I discovered my video game reflexes are a little rusty. gotta step it up, if I'm going to compete with my kids in a couple years.
I'm also pissed that I played Final Fantasy III for like 6 hours the second night, and could SWEAR I saved it, but when I re-started it, all that progress was missing. fuck. that pretty much killed my enthusiasm. no interest going through all that bullshit again.
I tried playing a Final Fantasy game a couple years ago, but it was tough because I'd play a little bit here and there and then not get to it for a month or two and then I'd be lost when I picked it back up. Modern games hold your hand and make it really easy to figure out what you're supposed to be doing.
And you couldn't just hop on the internet to find answers. Did anyone ever call that Nintendo tip line?
