I know where you are coming from but personally I think it is kinda late . The group of friends I talk to about video games are already talking as it is the best console ever and day one purchase . Pretty much the Jesus of consoles and already wanting to sell their n 3 DS because they will become obsolete . Then I keep trying to say things like lets wait til the direct and see actual gameplay or just arguing how I doubt the n 3 DS will become obsolete considering the market it has in Japan but they just think I ' m being negative . I ' m not . I ' m sure it will be fun and have great games eventually because it ' s Nintendo but everything they assume seems just too farfetched to me . Things like amazing specs with a huge battery life and controllers being chargers to last longer . Even to the point of it will change gaming competitions forever . I feel bad because I ' m sure there are other people like my friends and as soon the actual game play comes out they will turn on it and shit on it or hype it even more . My whole opinion is that the Switch will be fun but will be just ok . That has been Nintendo ' s reputation since I play SNES when I was a child . That is why I ' m going to buy it . I ' m going to still play on Steam and my PS 4 and most likely have fewer Nintendo games as it ' s been the norm but I know whenever I play the Mario , Smash , Mario Kart , Zelda , Splatoon and some other new or refreshed IP , I will have the time of my life . I just don ' t know why people like to raise their expectations that much .
