I know how you feel. Not living in Scotland for many years, I get it from both sides!

Your accent is too strong, you're losing your accent. :p

Originally from Essex, but taught to speak "proper" and now working with people with people in "broken" English everyday is very confusing for my family when I go back to my origins! (fortunately limited to twice a year)

Yes but did he own that handheld? Does he have access to playing it on the move right now? :p

Well he could have access playing in on a handheld just now and it wouldn't cost him that much? I'm not quite understanding your point.

He has a Switch (I think) I don't know if he has which other platform you're referring to where it can be handheld (I'm guessing Vita or DS maybe, ah google confirms the Vita. Cool)

If he doesn't, he would need to invest in another console, and then the game on top.

He already owns the Switch and if he hasn't already played it through then it makes sense to buy it on the Switch, no? (unless of course the price will be more than buying an entirely separate console and game)

Take me for example. I don't own any console right now. The best thing I have for gaming is my work laptop and that is locked down pretty tight so I won't be installing any games on that. Otherwise its my rMBP so its not that easiest thing to game on. The last console I had I sold in 2015 before going travelling. I haven't had a gaming PC for...well actually about a decade now!

Yes Rayman Legends is a port (and is already available on handheld) but if its a good game why not bring it to another platform? Bigger user base for the developer and more people get to enjoy it. There are some of us who will only be able to play it on the NS. The NS will be our only option.

These ports of older games are an issue for those who have played them to death already on other platforms and want something new and fresh (and I completely agree with that, but also know these things take time) Otherwise it's a new experience, without inventing a new game for it. Can totally see why the devs are doing it. :)

It's not a problem being on the switch - it's more that it's nothing to get excited about.... unless you're in the ~0.5% of gamers that exclusively buys Nintendo consoles / doesn't PC game.

Played more wii MK today - got a bit better still not sure on the best character / vehicles though. Will have to have some online games with deluxe!
 
I don't mind ports but I would like to see what new I.P are coming from 3rd party developers it feels like the switch was rushed launch, I personally don't mind to much as I have Wii U & PS4 but for people who only own one console may be put off from buying it.
 
Nintendo Direct mentioned the bigger IPs coming the other day, well some anyway. Enough to tide over until E3 :)
 
My main wish is Virtual console I will gladly blow a load of money on SNES classics, E3 will be interesting my wish list:

Joycon with a real D-pad.
Metroid prime 4
Captain Toad treasure tracker 2
F-Zero
Star Fox
Kirby
Wario

Rayman legends was out on a handheld 4 years ago.

No handheld that I've ever owned. I love Rayman games so yeah, I'd love to have this on the Switch. I can play it on my other consoles but it would be cool to have a game like that on the go. Like some others though the price will probably kill my interest anyway.
 
Joycon with a real D-pad. - I doubt it. Not this early on anyway.
Metroid prime 4 - Likely I think. Especially with the hints being dropped.

The rest, lets hope!

Metroid would be amazing.

Yup. Developers have tweeted photos of "prime" meat etc. I can't see it not being in development tbh.
EDIT: They even tweeted a photo saying "PATIENCE" scrabble letters, all had "prime" numbers as the points :p

Out of curiosity who has played the switch 'on the go' yet? I think the 'portable gaming' market has somewhat been killed by the smartphones (or at least my interest in it has been killed) but, in any case, the only opportunity you otherwise get is on the plane and on the train... handheld mode is mostly on the sofa :p
 
In the car yes. Quite a lot actually. And some sofa hh as well. That's mostly the indie stuff that i have, Shovel Knight, Snake Pass etc. Zelda i mostly play through my TV.
