To be honest, this gamer is totally gob smacked on the attitude that people have when it comes to new console releases.
Sure it was time for a change. But is it worth the hassle and aggravation?
I’m not the one to jump on the NCHW (New Console Hype Wagon), just for the sake of popularity. I pay attention to the ebb and flow of popularity.
I learned this lesson all to well when the SEGA Saturn was released in 1994. Like everyone else in the console video game space at the time, I jumped on the hype and pre-relase popularity.
But in the end, after it was all said and done, it was a total flop. The lesson that I learned is plain and simple.
Slow down and relax. Let others make the mistake. Let them make the mistake you’ve made.
But this time around, the hype was justified. The Switch 2 is one of those consoles that lives up to the hype. Where the games go from here is up to NINTENDO and the publishers. But take it easy, Let the hype train enter the station and then buy the system. I’m telling you, it’s worth the wait.
I think the hardware has a lot of promise, but it’s fair to say that at this very instant there aren’t many exclusives to justify it if you aren’t excited about Mario Kart.
If you have a backlog of Switch games, or you have favorites you’re frequently playing on Switch, the improved processing power and loading times could be attractive, even if your games don’t have resolution/framerate patches. For example, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition loads battles in a snap, and doesn’t have any framerate issues during gameplay anymore (although it is still capped at like 30 FPS in cutscenes, sadly.)
There’s a couple other neat things about it, but likely not too relevant to anyone who’s on the fence about the console.
I agree entirely. That’s why I’m waiting for more games to come out.
