Nintendo Switch

IowaCubs1 · 01-04-2017, 11:41 AM

Who's getting this? My wife said that for my "Christmas Present" that I could get the Switch! I'm pumped as you can play it both at home and on-the-go. What does everyone else think?

video games are for generation cupcake

therefore I'm really excited for this

JosieD · 01-04-2017, 11:53 AM

My husband really wants one. He is saving $100 from his Christmas stash and I may cover the rest for valentine's day. I am a sweet wife like that. I have 0 interest in gaming systems.

He was talking about the Zelda add on last night. I have no clue what that means.

What year did generation cupcake start? Also, my boss and I asked each other what makes someone a millennial? Being born in 2000 and after or something else?

That's an awesome gift. I'm not sure what the Zelda add-on is though.

Anderdale · 01-04-2017, 12:03 PM

Not sure about the Zelda add on. I do know that the new Zelda is going to be amazing. It's a full open world so you can just run around and explore if you feel like it. Kind of like grand theft auto. Looking forward to January 13th when they announce the price etc.

Soxrule111 · 01-04-2017, 12:13 PM

Can you officially preoder this yet for release day?

And Generation Cupcake is technically like 1984-2000 but I call anyone who thinks they deserve a participation trophy part of Generation Cupcake

Me too! I am pumped. Zelda would be sick.

He has been watching a lot of youtube videos on it. I think you get the new Zelda game and an extra controller.

Hmm I'll have to check that out!

Clarka3 · 01-04-2017, 03:37 PM

i don't know how this is going to play out as a system.

definitely a better option than the wii U, which was just advertised so poorly nobody know what it was (I thought it was what the switch ended up being, and when i found out it wasn't i felt that it was a terrible misstep).

then again, i'm only really a sports gamer now, and Nintendo has gone away from that stuff.

Nintendo will always stay with it's staples (Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, DK, etc..) - and is great for multi-player couch games. I hope it ends up well as I am planning to buy!

Pretty much the only reason I bought a Wii lol. But then Added a N64 to my System collection.

Haha...I think Josie meant Zelda ad that was on like on TV.

BO did not "make up" generation cupcake. Maybe if you got out more and weren't so sheltered you would know that it has been around for years...

This guy makes really entertaining videos about rumors and leaks about the Switch.

DSizzle31 · 01-13-2017, 01:02 PM

Preordering has started. I just bought mine from Target.com. $299.99 seems pretty good. Apparently, extra controllers are $79.99. I held off on that. It seems like each controller splits into 2 so hopefully I'll just need one extra controller to play 4 player games.

Anyone else preorder?

IowaCubs1 · 01-13-2017, 01:13 PM

I preordered from Target also. I did the 10.00 shipping as it says it will arrive on 3/3 (release day). Preordered Zelda on Best Buy as there was no shipping charge (also arriving 3/3)
