Not a Nintendo fanboy, but I have to say, this will be the 2nd Nintendo console I've skipped, the other one being the Wii U.
I'm just not seeing a compelling reason to buy one. The big push seems to be "Look, look, we can do big boy games like Street Fighter 6 now!" and I'm like "That's nice, I don't need a new console for that..."
See, I never understood Animal Crossing. I had it on the Game Cube. "I know, let's take an RPG, remove everything interesting to do, and just leave an inventory system, massive debt, and fishing."
I would not compare it to an RPG. I'd say it's more akin to Sims perhaps. The appeal is the coziness, discovering the variety of villagers, customizing your island, designing your home.
It’s not compelling if you own other gaming systems but kids brought up on Nintendo will probably love it. Only Nintendo targets this demographic for some reason and that seems to be working ok for them.
I mean saving money could always be a reason to skip out on something
