When spronk originally posted the link it was actually being sold for 299.99 directly via Amazon. I imagine it sold out quickly.

I'm confused why anyone is buying this right now. There is Zelda, then you'll be sitting there letting your console collect dust for a year.

I'm 100% buying this piece of shit, in 2 years.

But that $400+ Zelda though.

Weren't you just telling someone in the Horizon thread to not play Witcher because it is old, no one cares about it anymore and Horizon is the new hotness? Now you're saying people should play Zelda 2 years after it's release because you deem the library worth it?

You're 100% buying it if it proves to be a worthwhile purchase, right? That's not 100%. What guarantees the success of this product in the next two years? What Nintendo product in the last 15 years has inspired that much confidence?

I have as many or more Wii U games than I do any other platform (well outside PC)

I will play Zelda on my Wii U. Then after the Switch has an actual library of games I want to play (and likely discounted revised hardware that works) I will buy the Switch. How is this confusing?

Elidroth was just getting to the Witcher 3 now, and I told in (In jest) to go get Horizon and play that first.

But what the fuck does that have to do with paying $400 to play the only video game anyone gives a shit about until the year of our lord 2018?

It will be worth it when it has a solid stable of classic Nintendo franchise games available, which is 100% guaranteed to happen, just as it did with the Wii U. Say what you will about the Wii U, but it was definitely worth picking up near the end of its life cycle due to a library of some fantastic Nintendo franchise games.

The Switch will certainly be no different.

At least it will play those classics in 30 fps consistently! :)

When I added it to cart it showed from Amazon with free one day, maybe it's changed since then.
Ah, maybe that's a different one then. There's currently one at that exact same(lower than retail) price from some 3rd party.

I'm not sure if I want to go hunting for a physical cartridge for Zelda or just go with the downloaded version. People seeing plenty of copies of Zelda at places like Target?
Idk about target, just that best buy got a lot of copies of the game than they got consoles. That as zelda takes up half of the available memory on the switch.

edit: Failed at reading "cartridge"

I'm just confused about how you can guarantee the Switch will be worth purchasing in two years. I would like for it to be worthwhile, as competition is good, but Nintendo is pants on head retarded.

All I'm saying is that it's a very bold claim to say that two calendar years from now the Switch will be a great platform with many worthwhile titles that convincingly make it worth the purchase price.

For the wiiu or switch?

What would be even more funny than this pitiful system, is watching someone try to play a cartridge on a Wii U. (May want to re-read his post and you will find the answer to your question)

That and the 80 million people that have a 3DS already own any of those VC games already anyway.

Nintendo will always put out quality first party games and the next Xenoblade game will be a must play.

Really nothing for me to question here. I didn't buy a Wii U at launch either, but once it had games I wanted I did and I don't regret that one bit. That's a shit system as well, but the games make it worth it.

Yes, Nintendo is retarded, yes I'm disappointed they went this direction, no that won't stop me from wanting to play their games.

Meh. I was all amped about Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U and it sucked in Comparison to Xenoblade for the Wii. They will need to win back some favor after that one.
