So after talking to my Alaskan friend, he suggested I skip getting a Wii U and go straight for the Switch. No matter how much he was trying to talk me into it, I was still sceptical.
I spent a little time over the weekend reading reviews of each and the Switch for me still seems a bit buggy1. Even the reviews were saying if you're sitting on the fence you should probably wait.
I'm still sold on getting a Wii U (after all I can still play Breath of the Wild). So I went to EB Games today (they seem to be the only ones left to sell the Wii U now). They have a bundle with 4 games for $429 or a preowned console on it's own for $284. I guess it's a no brainer which deal I go for.
It's probably better that I wait until I know about my job before diving into this though. This coming from a gamer who used to get games/consoles on release no matter what the circumstance. Maybe I've grown up slightly?!
I know it's only been out for a couple of months but still…
