Splatoon and Sonic? Never liked any of the Sonic games and the first platoon looked awful to me. Why are they must-haves? And what about the console itself?
"must-have" assumes you have a well-rounded palate; splatoon 2 and sonic mania are fucking dope and have received universal acclaim, but if you're not into either franchise, you can skip them—but that doesn't leave you with a whole lot

the console itself has its follies, but i think it's pretty great overall, principally because of the sheer utility of being able to take it on the go, and the seamless transition between the two states is pretty fucking revolutionary

you might not like the joycons—in fact, i expect you to hate them—because they're VERY small, but they get the job done once you get used to them, and being able to sit in any position you want while playing is very nice

the biggest problems with it are the extremely fragile screen, which would probably rank a 2 on moh's hardness scale, the asinine placement of the AC adapator port (directly under the machine), and the chintzy little kickstand they give you is an absolute joke

i would recommend waiting a bit longer for more games to come out, if zelda and mario alone aren't enough

Wow, my palate is as round as they come, thank you very much. Just not too big on weebshit and overly infantile stuff (both of which are Nintendo staples). Sonic has just never been my thing because of the semi "on rails" gameplay (the emphasis on constant but very linear speed always gave me that impression) and Splatoon looks like a brightly colored and casual third person shooter with nothing special going for it that'd get me to play it more than a few games. I tried the first one on display at a game store and felt done with it after one match.

Console sounds about what I expected. Anything about a new Smash Bros or Pokemon?
all we know about pokémon is that the next generation is guaranteed to be on the switch, but it's still about a year away

as for smash, we don't know much at all—recently, there was a system update which made it so you could play with a gamecube controller, which tipped a lot of people off that smash for switch was on the horizon, but nintendo then went on to state that this wasn't actually intentional and was merely a happy accident

you might like the fact that doom is on the system, and that it plays much better than you'd expect (not that i've played it—i'm going by the word of others), but not if you can't deal with anything other than k+m

which sonic games have you played, out of curiosity

Bit disappointing those games aren't any closer, but it's good they're at least on their way. I'm not too interested in Doom. Not because I mind playing FPS on console (I played tons of Halo, CoD and many others on the Xbox 360 / One over the years), but I already own the game on Xbox and PC. It's good, but I don't see any reason to buy it again on the Switch just to play at lower framerates and a smaller resolution.

I couldn't tell you exactly what Sonic games I played. I owned one or two of the 2D ones back on the gameboy and then played Adventure 1 or 2 on the Gamecube (I think 2). I'll admit that this was a long time ago though, so my opinion might have changed. I was just always more of Mario guy than Sonic. The linear speed made it feel more like a "on rails" button pressing game than a normal platformer, although I guess the 3D one did somewhat better.
Mania has a load of alternate paths, check out this image that was being pieced together from before the game had even released of the first level

You saw a game that looked like this and thought I should play it? How long have you known me Rocket?

You should check out the other thread about Xenoblade.
