Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
When will you buy a Nintendo switch?
- Thread starter BDGAME
- Start date
1 - At launch
2 - After more games are available
3 - only after a price cut
4 - Will wait for more games be announced
5 - probably will never buy one
And what model do you prefer: gray or neon?
One positive option and four negative ones. Your biases are loud and clear.
When Super Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade 2 releases in Europe. Whichever comes first. I would get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe since 8 is my absolute favorite but no new tracks is a deal breaker.
I want the grey. I like colors, but I don't want two different colored Joy-cons. If they were both red I would be totally into it

At launch since I already pre-ordered and I chose the Grey version although I have come to regret this. Those neon Joy-Cons look fantastic.
And yes I will pay $400+ (the console, SE of Zelda BotW) to play Zelda day one.

2 AND 3 for me.
So, definitely not in 2017.

When there's more games available and there's a price drop. I imagine I'll get one with a Black Friday bundle/deal. Otherwise I'll grab one from Amazon Warehouse deals at some point.
I mean Arms could be the next Punchout. If that were the case I would grab one with that and Mario for $300 total or so. Otheriwse it's going to take Mario + some other unannounced games. There just has to be at least 2-3 available big games for me to care enough at any price point, and I'm not going to pay over $300 or so to get all of it.

Looks good and I have a preorder but just a few games and really expensive imho for what it is. 99% going to end up buying another iPad.

Monster Hunter Limited Edition bundle.
I bought Wii and Wii U two years after release, both systems got Mario Kart and Smash in those years.
So if Switch gets Mario Kart 9 and Smash 5 in 2019, and it's under £200 then I'll be open to it.
Not sure if releasing a MK port is going to throw the pattern out this gen though. MK9 might come later, if ever.

After not knowing much about it, seeing the presentation, and being somewhat impressed, I had that itch to preorder it but then I remembered when I preordered a Wii U at launch. Not doing that again. I'll wait for it to drop in price and/or get more games that interest me.

I figure if I'm getting it at all this year then I might as well grab it at launch. I don't have a commute so battery life doesn't matter to me, and 3 hours is more than enough time for me to be away from the dock, so if there are any revisions I don't think it'll affect my choice.
As for games, Zelda for me and 1 2 Switch to play at gatherings and parties. I can only imagine it will be a hit with older folks and even young kids. Super stoked it's releasing so soon.

2 is the closest, unless Nintendo has something else to show before launch I'll buy one at some point between launch and Super Mario Odyssey. Buying one with the colored joycons, though I wish you could get one where they were both red.

1... probably. I have one pre-ordered but am humming and hawing about it - I'm tempted to wait later in the year as think I'd get more use out of it then (more games and more time to play) and after I've made a dent in my gaming backlog (yeah, right).
Grey - that said, the neon one is growing on a lot.

6. After launch cause I own a Wii u
Grey system
Think I'll buy it when Mario kart releases because I'm betting on there being a bundle 🤔
I'm in no rush to buy the system since I'll play Zelda on my Wii u but I can't say no to Mario kart and it's been ages since I played 8, plus it's got a real battle mode.

Sounds like your jumping to conclusions a bit. What's so negative about "after more games are available" and "will wait for more games to be announced"?

2, more specifically once Spla2n and Super Mario Odyssey. Neon cause gray's a bit dull.

I want to buy one at Launch. I don't think I'll be able to, though. Money is tight and Nintendo has a tendency of undermining consumer demand, leading to artificial scarcity and scalping.
