How do you primarily plan to use the Switch?

Post by dsheinem »

For those of you picking it up this week (or soon), I am curious what your thoughts are on this issue. I am leaning heavily towards treating the Switch primarily as a portable, though I am sure there are some games that I'll want to plug in to a big screen - at least from time to time.

My primary interest in the Switch is that I can take it to work and play it, specifically with the kickstand and a controller in hand.

Uncertain. I see alot of portable play in the immediate future, but hooking it to a tv/projector will happen. Just depends on the games released on it. I will be running Bomberman on a projector this weekend.

I'm going to use it mainly in the dock.

I am going to be playing it both as a portable and as a home console. The weekend of its launch, there will be two occasions where my wife and I will be taking it with us to friends' houses to show off and play 1 2 switch. Evenings will have it docked, because I want nothing more than to laze on a couch.

I wish... no just parties in a house.

I think early on I'll likely use it 50/50 as both. But in the long run I just have way more opportunities to play portable games than console, so I voted for primarily portable in the end.

The real question we should be asking is, how many people will be using it on the toilet?
