Just bought one a few weeks ago. Breath of the Wild is indeed a masterpiece, one of my favorites of the generation and of all time, up there with Bloodborne and Persona 5. Luckily, it will make me not care about playing other Switch games for a good long while. But will it end up entirely defining the Switch?
I still have a few more reservations. What happens after Mario Odyssey? How will the new Metroid be, and what other major first party games will be next? And what about robust third party development going forward, will it be more than what we're seeing with the indie re-releases on the digital store? All valid questions.
I have also been disappointed in the lack of a true Virtual Console, seeing as I never bought a Wii U and I would love to play many of those classic games on a powerful handheld like this. They want to trickle out a handful of legacy games every month starting next year for people who pay, and hopefully many of those titles are synonymous with VC titles.
That said, I've gotten used to the joycons after initially thinking they were just too ergonomically challenged to be any good. They're okay; the buttons are meaty enough and the analog sticks are precise, even if they were a little too loose for my liking. $70 is a lot of money for a Pro controller that some folks don't think is that great, even though some swear by it since it's a colossal improvement (such as you fine people). I am too nervous to regularly undock the Switch and schlep it around with me, so I should probably just shut up and buy a Pro controller.
