I'm kind of the opposite. I can't bring myself to follow Sony news because I haven't seen any real eye catchers out of the corner of my eye, meanwhile the Switch's rumored year one launch lineup looks like it's going to try to destroy my pockets.
Launch itself maybe not so much, but that bundle rumor is definitely gonna be something for me. I guess liking squids is the difference.
Woomy.
. . .Maybe a lot of the games aren't outright impressive since most of it seems like stuff that's just going to be updated nicely, but BotW at least impressed me enough to get me to actually pay attention to Zelda enough to be about ready to throw the contents of my wallet at it. It could be my actually sitting down and watching it, but most of the features that impress me seem to be completely new to the series, so I'm leaning towards BotW itself being the magic.
I get that. We all have our different tastes and stuff. For me personally Sony's lineup of games are looking really promising while Nintendo's seems like the same old or other things I don't care about. PS4 is going to have FF7R, Tekken 7, Crash Remastered Trilogy, among other things that's already released. With the Switch there's nothing outside the new 3D Mario that makes me want to buy the console.
-
Breath of the Wild: Can easily buy BoTW on the Wii U and that's what i'm planning to do if the Switch fails to impress me.
-
Smash Bros Switch: Probably won't have any new characters but if it does it'll be filled with characters I either don't care about or don't like.
-
Mario Kart Switch: Haven't been wanting to buy Mario Kart in a long time and if I ever feel the need to buy it I could always get the Wii U version
-
Splatoon Switch: I really don't like Splatoon.
-
Xenoblade Port: Never had a serious interest of buying the game and if I did like Mario Kart I could easily buy the game on the Wii U.
-
Pokemon Stars: This could be a pull factor for me but won't be a driving factor to buy just for the game and I could still buy the game on the 3DS.
-
Pikimin & Animal Crossing: Don't care about either series.
-
Fire Emblem: Not confirmed yes but if a new FE game comes out before AW even has the chance to be revived (when a new AW game could easily make a huge comeback given it's local multiplayer capabilities and the Switch's emphasis on that) i'm going to be extremely pissed off and that will be the deciding factor of me not buying the Switch.
Really nothing outside 3D Mario and PKMN Stars that makes me want the Switch. The games that I do want are games which series have been dead for a long time and have been constantly neglected by Nintendo which furthers my frustration with Nintendo. I think you guys have a pretty good idea what they are so i'm not going to bother but yeah basically i'm not really feeling Nintendo right now and Sony's lineup and games that are already released are making me want to ditch Nintendo until they have something I really want.
