rockphantom Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) GN'R are playing in my area (Dallas) on September 1st. I was considering going. However, after the announcement of the Nintendo Switch OLED I am considering buying the Switch OLED and skipping the GNR gig. I have seen 4 NITL shows and the last one I attended (Austin 2019-10-11) was lame and extremely boring to sit through. Considering that the Nintendo Switch OLED will cost $380 (incl. tax) and a single decent GNR ticket costs around $300, I feel the Switch OLED would be a better investment than a GNR ticket. Would anyone disagree? Peace! Edited July 16, 2021 by rockphantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockphantom Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Thanks for the feedback everyone. I pre-ordered the Switch OLED. That's $378 TB and Live Nation won't be getting. This will be my first Nintendo console since the N64 in 1996. I'm a Playstation guy! Does anyone have suggestions on essential Switch accessories to pick up? I will definitely order a Pro controller, large MicroSD card, case, and screen protector. What else should I get? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thanks for list Oldest Goat. I am definitely interested in the 1st party Nintendo games. I have several third party games you suggest on my PS5 and they are great. Especially the Sega titles (I'm an early 90s Genesis owner). Streets of Rage 4 is awesome! The Mr. X Nightmare DLC is a lot of fun. BTW, is there a Punch-Out!! Game for the Switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The right decision was always the Switch. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, October 8th cannot get here soon enough! After seeing the setlist for the "new" GNR tour, the Switch will be a MUCH better investment. I am always up for learning about recommended Switch titles, specifically games that are exclusive to the Nintendo console. I am looking forward to Metroid Dread!

rockphantom Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 I wanted to mention that I received the Switch OLED one month ago and am really enjoying it. As a die-hard Playstation guy, I now understand why the Switch has been so popular for nearly 5 years. My current favorite game is Super Mario Odyssey. Ultra Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe are a lot of fun too! I was able to get the Switch OLED for $283 using some discounts. Ironically, the cost of a single, no frills, lower level GNR ticket is around $280-$300. IMHO, the Switch OLED is the far superior value. I am pleased with what I received for the same price as 1 GNR ticket! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
