[Soodanim]

Nothing has changed for me, it's all about performance. Performance of new titles and enhancements to BC ones.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Timing of it's release will matter. If I can get it in launch window, I will. If not, I'll definitely get it during the first year. It all depends on the intensity of scalping activity

 

[Robb]

Need to see games announced in April before I make a decision.

It’s so far away still.. Ugh.

The timeline of this is the most disappointing thing of the reveal.

 

[Darkone]

Simple, No Oled display no buy.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

Unsure. Kids are not overly interested in new hw for hardwares sake. I have a steamdeck for portable gaming.

 

[LimanimaPT]

I'm out. I own a switch and I've only played 2 games in it. Switch 2 looks like more of the same.
And owning 2 consoles is too expensive for me.

 

[xandaca]

If there are a lot of great games at launch I might pick it up then, but my instinct is to wait and see if any flaws (such as stick drift on the Switch) come to light in the first six months and go from there.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Probably at some point, would like to play the new Metroid Prime and I have a feeling the gf will want one for whatever games she’s into.

Almost certainly not at launch though.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Nah, I don't have much interest in mobile gaming or first party Nintendo properties.

I bought a Switch OLED, played some Odyssey, Tetris, and 13 Sentinels, and then it gathered dust until I picked it up to play Metroid Prime and found that the input was completely busted. The left stick was giving a continuous full-left input, making it impossible to even navigate the Switch UI, let alone play a game. I don't know if it was a software issue, the most extreme stick drift I've ever seen, or what, but I never got it working again.

 

[NiiloPielinen]

Yes, so I can finally play Metroid Dread which I have owned for a couple of years. Though I might wait for a half a year to see if people are having any issues.

 

[Goalus]

No.
I have a Switch that has been collecting dust for about seven years.

 

[bad guy]

N games don't appeal to me. Might get a Steam Deck one day, but my Desktop PC is really all I need.

 

[BlackTron]

If there are a lot of great games at launch I might pick it up then, but my instinct is to wait and see if any flaws (such as stick drift on the Switch) come to light in the first six months and go from there.

Yeah, my decision to stall until Odyssey dropped meant I got a less bad Pro controller. But if I didn't already have WiiU, their leverage on me with BOTW would be astronomical.

It's easy for me to say I will be smart and patient before they show games. BOTW 3 and Odyssey 2 probably wouldn't do it this time, but my fear is...they are aware of that and are preparing to enslave us all day one.

 

[crackajack]

(x) no
Handhelds are terrible to play long with. I think steamdeck might be better. But never actually held one.
There are not many Nintendo games that interest me.
Right now i think the ps portal is the best approach, since i don't need actual mobility, but a wii-u would be fine sometimes. But that thing can be substituted by any tablet and a regular controller, so no need for that either.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Yes, but it depends on the software. This past gen I realized that Mario doesn't move the needle for me anymore like it used to. As in I'll play the games but I'm not getting a system just because the new 3D Mario is out. I'm more inclined to buy it ASAP if something equivalent to BOTW came out, or if Metroid 4 lands with a bang. But I really do feel like I have so many games now between Steam and PS5 ,that I'm going to have to be knocked off my feet with some 'can't miss' from Nintendo to grab a Switch 2 this year.

 

[WoJ]

Depends on the screen quality, I don't want to buy a launch system with a crappy screen.

This right here. If an OLED is available at launch sure. If not, I'll wait.

 

[Lootlord]

Nope, i have no need for a handheld.
Gimme a powerful Nintendo console and i will consider it

 

[DenchDeckard]

Day one. Switch has been the best console in the last 20 years for me so it's an absolute no brainer.

 

[Three]

I would need to see a reason to. Haven't seen that yet. A joycon that turns into a mouse isn't enough of a differentiation for me to want one. I need to see the new games or improvements to games I play.

 

[Madserb2023]

Yes, but my hype has dropped now it's further away than I thought.

 

[diffusionx]

This right here. If an OLED is available at launch sure. If not, I'll wait.

I think I would be ok with a high quality LCD screen, but if they cut corners on it like the original Switch and Steam Deck, not doing it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Nintendo has been quality in its products, I may buy it on day one, before Trump's big-bellied Fat Guy gets schizophrenic and raises taxes like crazy

 

[mindfreak191]

No, I owned a switch, and while it was a cool device I just couldn't get over the fact that their games barely ever go on sale and when they do it's laughable. I'm saying this as someone who owns all major consoles, the Switch ended up getting used less and less, especially once I played through the "big" exclusives. Now I have an Ally for mobile play (which also emulates switch games too), and still a huge backlog to get through on my PC. I'm more curious about the price of the Switch 2 than anything.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yes, I've bought too many physical Switch games at this point not to

 

[Mitsurux]

Yes, at launch, and highly likely that my Daughter and wife will want one at launch as well. Showed both of them the Teaser and they were quite interested.

 

[CliffBronger]

Zero interest in handhelds, and N games don't appeal to me.

 

[Thaimasker]

I can't imagine missing out on an entire generation of Nintendo games, especially with the current state of the industry

 

[PaintTinJr]

No.

It is giving off 3DS vibes - which I never owned - and I'm done tolerating Mario Kart Bikes and 200cc, and subpar and incomplete MK with DLC.

I haven't enjoyed a MK since the Cube and DS versions, and what they showed looks like the same MK Wii/7 foundation of Deluxe, and I haven't enjoyed a new Mario game since Super Mario 3D world, and multiplayer being trapped behind a sub service was the nail in the coffin for Splatoon play, and despite playing the last two open world Zelda games to completion, they aren't really Zelda games and the enjoyment was shallow like an AC game.

I still have my launch Switch and WiiU, so I feel I'm probably covered.

 

[Hellraizah]

Zero interest in handhelds, and N games don't appeal to me.

This

 

[Sinfulgore]

Nope, haven't turned my Switch on in years and I dont really care for Nintendo's IPs.

 

[RoadHazard]

I don't know enough about it, the price or the launch games yet. But probably.

 

[vodka-bull]

No, but I‘ll buy the OLED version at launch.

 

[Represent.]

No.

And because Nintendo doesnt make the kinda games I give a shit about, plus their games are ugly as fuck due to weak hardware.

Id be interested in a traditional console from them, but they have no interest in that.

I dont want to play games on a 8 inch screen.

 

[Ristifer]

Maybe once it goes down in price in Canada. In 2031.

 

[Rubik8]

I usually don’t jump into a new console generation until there are 5 must play games on it that I can’t play anywhere else. So until the launch lineup is revealed and reviews are out, who knows.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Day one. Skipped Wii U and Switch so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Jakk]

Maybe at some point, depends on the games. The last Nintendo console I had was the Wii and I liked it mostly for the more casual games. Looking at exclusive games for Switch, there isn't much that interests me, so I'm not sure.

 

[Kerotan]

No I'll not be buying. PS5 for me.

 

[keefged4]

Day one most likely, Metroid Prime 4.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Probably going to get the Zelda game assuming it’s new and not a remake, Mario games are really good, but it could be years for that Zelda to come out.

 

[th4tguy]

Day one. We have 4 switches in my house. My family is foaming at the mouth for the new system.
My kids question immediately on reveal was if there would be a Switch 2 lite.

 

[JMZ555]

Maybe....I haven't had a Nintendo console since Gamecube. Really depends on the games and price. Only use Pc currently after selling PS5. Will wait for the full reveal.

 

[blacktout]

I will definitely buy it whenever the new 3D Mario drops, possibly before then if Mario Kart has a compelling hook or if Elden Ring is ported over.

 

[BbMajor7th]

Looks more like a mid-gen refresh than a mainline console. Wait and see for me, but I don't expect much.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

captain toad treasure tracker 2 hasnt been announced yet, so no

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

sure I will, then jailbreak it as soon as possible like with the first one

 

[sadmaker]

If MK9 and the new Mario are switch and switch 2 titles, NOPE. Pipe dream i know, but we've only recently seen MS and Sony stop releasing games for previous gen.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I am going with “MAYBE”.

Even though the commercial for the reveal was not good, it does make me hopeful for the software.

Mario KArt looked underwhelming, but if it is cross platform or is like Forza Horizon with big open vistas to race in, that might be fun.

IF Nintendo can secure EA College Football, a proper Goldeneye, MP4, MK9 and BOTW Deluxe edition, all built for Switch 2. I am there DAY 1!!!

 

[mpgeist]

I will try for day one, but knowing how console launches go for me, I'll probably have to settle for launch window.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Launch window, probably. Just in case there’s manufacturing issues with a new process. It also buys time for launch window games.
