The only nintendo I have decided not to invest in was the Wii U. I have had every other system they have made and I had to wait months for just about every one of them.

would you say the Switch is worth it at its current full non sale price. I want one, thought there would be a sale on them... err... hoped. Now that I know there isnt, its basically spring for one at its 299 price tag. Worth?

Absolutely...ton of awesome games to play on it already and 2 GOTY candidates on it. It's worth it for those games alone.

Go buy 4 or 5 of those. Buy a Switch + games at Gamespot for 400 or 500 when you've only spent 320 and 400 respectively.

Mario Odyssey and Zelda BotW for single player.

It really depends on what you are expecting and what you are going to be using it for.

Do i think the hardware is worth the 299 price point? absolutely.

But the game selection at this time is limited. There are only a few blockbuster type games out for it now.

If you are going to buy it, then jump into breath of the wild or super mario oddesy for a few months i would say go for it. But if you are expecting to be playing dozens of different games the options really aren't there just yet. A lot of the available games for it right now are ports of older games too.

I don't think you will see a price drop on this system for at least another year though, so if you want it you may as well get it.
