I will eventually get one. Just reading indeksical going on about set me straight. Great that it’s finally getting a price reduction.

Honestly I’ve had it since launch, the switch tax is getting to me. You’d be better off getting a controller and buying the games for half the price on steam.
Those first party games though, kinda make it worth it. And I like to play in bed with my wife while she binges crap tv.

I kind of agree, game prices are mad, especially for digital Indies that have been out in PC for 4 or 5 years. The portability is unmatched though, especially if you travel a lot.

It's not that expensive, plus you can use student loans to buy games, which often appreciate in value, especially if you buy second and third copies to keep sealed

15 quid each Rime, a lush looking game set on an island that you explore.
Sine mora ex. Shoot em up.
There's a cowboy robot game that has 90s arcade gfx, costs 30 quid. Looks amazing but is supposed to be hard so I didn't buy it.

I also kind of agree with myself there. I love the thing and don’t regret getting it.
The only travelling I do lately is within the house but I do prefer playing in handheld generally - if I can cuddle and play a game at the same I feel like I’m winning.

Rime was available for free on the google play store. Sine mora can be played for free on a hacked vita which i also own.
Hmm, switch games seem expensive..

The switch is hackable (at least the older models). People have successfully run HL2 and Doom 3 and other games on it.
Maybe further down the line when the new “pro” edition comes out, I’ll use my old one for homebrew stuff.

I am mostly interested in playing indie games on the go. Is there maybe an alternative for this?

The switch has gotten a lot of great Indies.
I used to think a modded ds was the pinnacle of mobile gaming but the Switch has superseded beyond anything I could have imagined.
I’m a little miffed because our eshop used to be reasonable, until the rest of the world started using it, resulting in them changing the prices.
I think the price is further bumped because porting to the switch takes extra development time. Probably why there are many bad ports too.

Very nice machine, bit heavy though. My thumb is aching after playing sonic mania for 45 minutes.

i've got a switch. fucking excellent console. graphics etc ain't even close to being on a par with the likes of PS4, but it doesn't matter. playability and fun-factor is massive.
legend of zelda breath of the wild is also one of the best games i've ever played.
