The Nintendo Switch (Gaming)

I guess my opinion for you hinges on how big of a deal Zelda is to you. If you're really into it, the Switch might be worthwhile. Unless you have a Wii U - if you do, buying a new console for a game that'll run on what you already have is obviously pretty silly.

I never did get a WiiU, and I have mixed feelings about that. I'm sort of in the same situation, again. I told myself I'd get a WiiU eventually, but the more time passed, the easier it was to not buy one. There were undoubtedly some great games there, but nothing big enough to make me actually go buy a WiiU. I want to avoid doing that again (even if it is probably the smart play). Zelda and a new Mario64-style 3D Mario game are huge selling points--those two games alone will probably justify the cost of the console. If Nintendo actually abandons the 3DS and uses the Switch as a console and handheld platform and just has one library of games, I feel like it'll be a no-brainer. But I'm not actually convinced that'll happen, yet.
