@BLP_Software Fair enough, but I am just telling you what I saw in the shop this afternoon.
It's a new system, and retailers are probably knocking the price up a little bit however, they were more than enough to put me off until I can buy the Nintendo Switch, a Pro Controller and a copy of Breath of the Wild altogether for £300, which isn't going to happen any time soon!
The hardware really is fantastic and one game in particular is the talk of the town; the rest however leaves a lot to be desired, especially those prices for the accessories.
Snipperclips is addictive as hell, it may not look like much but it is top fun.
Switch games list,
Legend of Zelda BotW, Human resource machine, NBA Playgrounds, Street Fighter 2, Super Bomberman R, Snipperclips, Overcooked, World of Goo.
@scubydo Yup, Operative2-0 is right. Don't worry about it. I assume that the Switch is designed that way (it would be really weird if it wasn't). The battery will degrade over time though, that's just normal.
@Peek-a-boo I wouldn't say the Pro is necessary at all for the time being, but I'm still glad I got one. Mainly I just wanted it for competitive games and games that need a D-pad to be played efficiently, but it does also make playing solo/chill games a bit more enjoyable. I'd say it's worth a purchase, but not right now if you don't have the funds for it. Zelda can be played fine without one. It also depends on what control option you prefer.
Gyro has been VERY sensitive for me in Zelda. Perhaps too sensitive. Still, it's my go-to method for lining up shots with my bow and arrow.
I have to say, after experiencing the "HD Rumble" in games like Fast RMX and Puyo Puyo Tetris (Japanese eshop demo): I'm not impressed. It doesn't feel sufficiently different than normal controller rumble for me.
@Ralizah HD Rumble feels more delicate, whereas regular vibrations are one forceful thing. This is notably in different parts of the controller and varying intensity. But not everyone is so receptive to certain sensations, though everyone misses it when its gone.
@Operative2-0 Havent used the Pro Controller. I do have to move my hands closer together when using the Joy-Con sometimes. Only time its been a problem is when in mid-air.
I think it may just be Zelda, as Splatoon seems very responsive.
Now Playing: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Crash Bandicoot 4
@Ralizah
Have you done the ball count in 1-2 Switch? Though not worth 50 bucks, it does do a good job of showcasing some stuff on the Joycon. I was pretty impressed.
@BLP_Software Maybe those games aren't a good showcase for it? It definitely feels a little more involved than normal rumble in Fast RMX, but nothing significant enough to merit attention, imo.
@rallydefault I haven't. It's probably the only thing I'm really curious to try in that game.
This really does highlight how stupid it was for Nintendo not to make 1, 2, Switch a pack-in title.
@Operative2-0 Maybe it's a controller issue? I've only played with the joycons so far.
@Ralizah The demo for Puyo Puyo Tetris isn't the best showcase. The only thing it does with it is different intensities. When playing Tetris, it has a higher intensity when you clear a line than when you put a block down. There's an even higher intensity if you clear multiple lines at once. It showcases the different intensity levels well enough, but it doesn't showcase the rumble being in different parts of the controller (though I haven't tried Puyo Puyo yet, so that may showcase that better than the Tetris).
Fast rmx makes the rumble occur wherever you're hitting your car. It's cool enough I guess, but hardly noticeable unless you make a conscious effort to notice it
You know, I've been thinking, regarding the joycon signal strength issue: for wireless controllers, signal strength should really be something that's controllable by the user. Everyone's living rooms are different sizes, after all.
The joy cons work fine for me, again it must be just certain batches. Also, no problem with the pro-controller. And we have lots of bluetooth items around. Anyways, I think the gyro mechanics for BoTW were designed for the WiiU initially, and being somewhat of a port it probably isn't matched completely to the controls. Either way it is still very enjoyable. I am loving it. And my kids are having a blast with BoTW, and the exploration. Also, going to be picking up Bomberman along with several other games to enjoy the Switch.
@Octane sharing a link to legal content i own that happens to be relevant to the conversation is just me sharing my opinion here and is in no way noted as not allowed in the community rules or mentioned in any way
@Octane but if i were to copy my post and paste it here to share i would be leaving an overly excessive post and that is against the community rules so my bad for following the rules dude
@Operative2-0 There's an interesting fan effect in one level, but yeah, the game doesn't seem to be a great showcase for HD rumble. I guess I'll forget about it until another game releases that shows it off adequately that isn't called 1, 2, Switch.
...Does anyone get the constellation shrine at all? It makes no sense...and I already feel bad for having to look up on how to get through the lost woods. T.T
EDIT: NEVER MIND....I need a break from this game....-.-
I wonder what the interwebs would be saying if the Switch's sales performances was a tad worse than, say, the Wii U's. Some comments out there say the Switch breaking sales records means nothing (which is more or less accurate, I guess), but would they say the same thing if the Switch performed modestly?
Gonna take a hazardous guess and say no.
God first.
