smash bros on the switch is SEVERELY testing my decision to not get a switch til there's a price drop or some cheaper-ish ones on ebay or something

SMASH 4 WAS REALLY GOOD I LEGIT DON'T KNOW IF I WANT THIS TO BE A NEW ONE OR A PORT

WHO KNOWS WHAT KINDA CHARACTERS THEY COULD ADD, WHO KNOWS

it'll be really funny if they wind up with OG Link, Toon Link, AND BoTW Link. I have so many ideas for cool skillsets for BoTW Link, I hope they don't pass up the opportunity to make him super different.

Don't count on a price drop, it's selling like cupcakes.

Yeah, I'm more hoping that eventually there will be enough saturation that used ones will actually be cheaper than new ones. We'll see!

rabbids are good

mario + rabbids was a fantastic game

they're probably gonna put in rabbid peach

mario + rabbids is a great game but rabbids are terrifying they're like minions but pure forces of chaos that have no regard to the lives of others, caring instead only for their amusement

i had to set a price alert on camelcamelcamel for like 3 months just to get one at MSRP. but i don't regret buying it, it's been a fantastic console.

my biggest qualms other than initial cost are:

I don't really... go places... much? So the portability seems a bit wasted on me

and

one of the big reasons I want it is for local multiplayer stuff, but the controllers are MAD expensive

the portability is less about taking it places and more about playing on the john

Playing portable mode around the house is about half of my switch use, it rules.

And it's great for couch co-op, it comes with two controllers and if you grab another set of joy-cons that's 4p. That little controller is better than you'd think, and when you're playing with other people you really don't care. There's also some cheap, non-nintendo options.

Lol I'm a bad influence. It's expensive but worth it.

that's what I'm hoping to hold out for but it'll be at least another year, minimum

i read a statement somewhere that at least for this year they have no plans to make another model as the current one is doing so well, and they want to focus on other stuff because of that

If it was just going to be a port they would have made that clear when they announced it, this is going to be a new game. It'll also probably have an adventure mode, from what the teaser is like.

Lol that's just a guess tho.

obviously botw link's up + b would be revali's gale + the paraglider but... for his other moves, there's so many options! I don't even think I'd want it based heavily around his uhh sheikah slate abilities, cause I feel like the more mundane stuff you find in the world are more iconic. Like maybe he has a few different melee weapons you can swap between (or HAVE to swap between, like how Robin's sword + magic get weaker if you overuse them, his weapons break and take time to repair. The final hit when they break could even be a lot stronger like in the game!)

actually I could see his final smash being the "time stop" ability thing, that'd be cool. And I do like Magnesis a lot but idk how it could really be applied and Feel Right y'know? OG Link already has the bombs so I feel like I'd want to play around in different territory.

Oh! He could have a shield surfing move, that'd be super cool! What else though...

I haven't bought a console in over a decade. Switch might be what actually reels me back in.
