Pre-ordered one this morning - long time Nintendo fan, and there's lots to love about this new installment, but I can't help but feel incredibly disappointed at a lot of the launch:
1. I've never seen so few games at launch for a launch console. And for me, the only one I will bother buying is Zelda. This console will quickly need to get a number of other top quality games, and a largely number of top quality 3rd party games, or it'll fall flat again pretty quickly like the U.
2. The cost of additional controllers and accessories is just eye watering. £65 for the pro controller is obscene. Especially as Nintendo have usually been so good at keeping the cost of controllers low.
3. No Sports games at all at launch, or coming out in the near future. Doesn't matter so much as I also have an Xbox One, but as Sports games make up well over half of my playtime, would like to see most of the main titles make their way over.
4. No bundles, everything is costing you full price, and no discounts for ordering for day one. Can imagine that being a huge barrier to purchase for a lot of people.
And yet... I'm still very excited for this, and pre-ordered straight away. The new Zelda game looks fantastic.
