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

playing zelda is even more fun when you're taking a dump.

or uh, so i've heard.

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 little controller works absurdly well given it's size.

Split joycons too. It doesn't work for everyone but I love it a lot.
