I am extremely positive on Zelda following that latest trailer. Pretty positive on Mario too! Also encouraged about the battery life. Cautiously encouraged.
I'm not quite so positive on the first year of Switch though. I don't want the same old virtual console drip feed that doesn't even get through the popular roms by the time the system is dead. I would like to see at least some digital purchases from the WiiU or 3DS moving over. Maybe I'll wait for a bundle, even. Maybe I'll even hold out for one with more than 32 GB.
My WiiU still has a lot of gaming left to do, so I'm in no hurry. I haven't even touched #FE or Bayonetta yet. And I still meant to play Earthbound and Paper Mario through on the pad! I'd have gotten to these things sooner if the range on the otherwise satisfying pad wasn't so terrible. If Nintendo was like, everyone come to the new console, and bring your stuff with you, I'd be on board. So far I don't see anything like that in the messaging. I see a lot of repackaging and reselling for $70 CDN coming up.
I still need more convincing, so I'll wait and late adopt a Switch. I try to avoid preorders for anything but Dark Souls, whole numbered Playstations, and Personas. We really all should be skeptical of most preorder products, especially when you have to put down the full amount. That said, everyone has their thing, and I wish those who do preorder a Switch all the excitement in the world!
