Been wanting to pick up Zelda but I don't have a current enough console. Since Switch is the newest one and there's not that much of a price difference, I should probably get that but I've been hearing there's all kinds of problems with it. What would you guys recommend?

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
If you want a system right now go for the WiiU, cheaper, you can play Zelda BoTW and there's an array of other games at a reduced price. There's nothing majorly wrong with the Switch but you should wait a few months either for a price drop, more games or a revised edition.

I'd wait until you can find at least 2 other games you'd want to play on the Switch before getting it.

Honestly, the Switch. Yeah, the only game on it is Zelda, but for what you're going to spend on the Wii-U, it just doesn't make sense to buy one when the Switch is going to be supported with a ton of its games. What does the Wii-U have? Smash, Mario Kart, HD Zeldas, and a few other niche first-party titles? If you hold out long enough, I'm sure all of those will be on the Switch. Mario Kart 8 is confirmed next month, Bandai was rumoured to be porting Smash Bros. to the Switch, and there are rumours of Gamecube games being added to the Virtual Console. I can't justify it just yet because I already own a Wii-U and Zelda and like Verb suggested I'm waiting for there to be at least 3 new (un-owned) games on the console that interest me before I commit (likely being Yooka-Laylee, Pokémon Stars, and Super Mario Odyssey).

I've seen and played the Switch in person and it's like something we used to fantasise about as kids -- it's essentially a portable Xbox 360. I don't want to oversell it but I honestly believe its a game changer.

i mean, the idea that it even needs illegal emulators to play anything worth a singular shit to begin with is proof positive of its depressing dearth of games

that's why i said illegal emulators

by doing this, i'm excluding all emulators that are legal

there's no such thing as illegal emulators and emulation

the only illegal thing that could tie into it is pirating games, which can also be done with the consoles that are being emulated

I bought Botw because I already had a Wii U. Might be a while before I get a Switch.

except none of those contradict each other in any way

>never even made this claim
>there is legal emulation and illegal emulation--pirating a ROM and playing it on emulating software is illegal, hence illegal emulation; this is no different from saying something like "illegal driving," because even though driving is not in and of itself illegal, there are circumstances in which it could be, like if you don't have a license
>you're missing brain cells if you didn't

basic english is hard

also, all you've done is ensure that i ALWAYS use terms like "illegal emulation" in the future because it makes people like you sperg out and have an autistic shit-fit over it, and that's pretty amusing

it also helps that it's not an incorrect term to use in the first place
