How to convince yourself to get a job to get a Switch yourself

kartanym2704d ago

Convincing is only half the battle for many people in that regard, sadly.

I mean this works if you're under 14, and still live with and rely on mommy and daddy, sure lol

"Parents don’t want you owning a console because it’s too distracting from life and games these days are too violent and provocative."
This isn't the 90s, so chances are likely they play too nowadays. They should understand. If they don't then convince your grandparents.‎

"The Switch also has the advantage of its parental control system."
Get real! You know you wouldn't tell them.

"Continue to play without interfering with family time or reducing the quality of your experience thanks to the Switch’s hybrid design."‎
Most people have 2 or more televisions nowadays, so this is a dead argument.‎

"You already own a Nintendo 3DS and your parents aren’t convinced it’s worth replacing."
Okay, you've lost. You either need to get a job, start doing chores, or start convincing others you're adopted.

As for the cost and long term, your parents should know because they've play(ed) too and they bought you that 3DS, so they know how your mind works.‎ "Better this than drugs," they'll say.

I would love to see interesting compelling AAA exclusive games releasing on the Switch,the only games that are interesting so far is Mario & XBC2.That's not enough for me to warrant a purchase.Once I see a slew of jaw dropping experiences dropping on the Switch I will buy.I already have a SNES mini for the low budget classics I want to see bigger games with high productions.
