@hazardwarning Yeah, I'm noticing they're selling like hotcakes. The guy in JB Hifi told me that sales of the Switch have gone past the Wii and Wii U combined, as well as Xbox One. That must be enough to tell people this is a good console. I'll certainly be jumping on the bandwagon. I can't wait to get it. Last console I bought was a DS XL.
@streakmachine You're right about the Virtual Console and that was the one reservation I had about getting one in the first place but there are many advantages that outweigh it. I'm probably going to spend many hours playing Breath of the Wild and by the time I even get remotely close to 100% completion there will be more games released and hopefully an update with the Virtual Console included. Time will tell I guess.
Just had one of my colleagues chastise me for not opening the door of the lift as it was closing. OMG, really? If the shoe was on the other foot would you have done the same for me? Probably not.
You know what dude? If that's all you've to think about in your life right now then you've got issues.
@kdfrawg i guess not, it gives you room to move and learn new things.

@streakmachine That's what I like about it. The fact I can take it with me on the train to work and then continue when I get home. I don't have to ban playing during the week anymore cause I can continue where I left off almost instantly and look forward to doing that. It was my own stupid fault I had my hiatus from gaming and missed out on the Wii U, but I can't dwell on the past and if this is where the gaming is at right now, I have to embrace it and join in the fun.
Gah! Found the best deal on a switch bundle and it only lasts till Wednesday :( Poooooooo!
So tempted to just bite the bullet and get one you know … bugger this waiting game bullshit!
For weeks now I've been debating about getting either a Wii U (mainly due to many games I want to play) or a Switch. The Wii U was looking good1 but I've been reading some things about the Switch that have made me change my mind.
The main thing is being able to transition between home console and portable console. I could play Breath of the Wild on the train to and from work as well as after I get home and over the weekend. The main disadvantage at the moment is not having a Virtual Console to be able to download games from past systems. I've read that it's definitely being released but not sure when. It's quite possible they might announce something about it at E3 in June.
I think if I was to get a Switch, playing Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would take up most of my time anyway, making the Virtual Console something to look forward to.
I know I said before I wasn't interested in the Switch, but after hearing things, reading a bit more into it and watching Breath of the Wild being played on YouTube, the Switch has edged in front of the Wii U.
Now to find the best deal.
The range of games/Virtual Console games. 2. The concept of the GamePad
@kdfrawg In the current job market where a permanent job doesn't mean what it used to, no. There are mostly full time contracts for a certain amount of time, but no job is ever safe.
