Anybody get a Nintendo switch? Seems like a good travel companion

Picked up Ghost Recon Wildlands. The beta was fun enough. Basically a Tom Clancy GTA game.

i really don't think it looks very good and i don't get the appeal of the switch

I like the idea of going from handheld to tv on same game but yeah I haven't bought a handheld gaming thing ever and always just use tablet/phone....probably throwing money away if I get one.

The Switch seems awesome if you have kids, but sort of pointless if you don't.

that's exactly the target market, kids who've grown up playing their nintendo DS.  the portability factor is what these kids love.  personally don't have any trips planned in the back of mom's minivan in the near future so i'll just stick with a real gaming system's who's stones have fallen and play overwatch which is a game that men play 24/7.

I'm guessing it will be as successful as the PSP or PS Vita. Cool at first, but don't ever really hear much about them or ever see them in use

Right here AJ, what do you need?  Which mode do you prefer?  I'm an online franchise / DD person myself.  Used to like offline franchise a lot but they have kind of let that fall off in favor of the online/RTTS parts the last couple years.  I'm really excited to see how the new ball physics work out!

Excited for Orissa????  She looks hilarious and her abilities look pretty fun.

This game is amaze balls I got it at launch and I'm halfway through the story this game has me by the balls. The combat is intriguing and makes you think about your moves. You cant just go in arrows blazing because most animals have ability to make your life a living hell. I'm having trouble with finding our how to override more species that is the only part I'm having trouble with.

Xbox has really fallen behind lately it sucks for the industry honestly because it seems as if the quality of games go down when there is less competition which blows no matter what console you game on.

the most recent news that caught my eye was that the next halo will be bringing back split screen for all modes.
