Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Am I missing something or is this the pretty clear report I think it is?

@adamman12345 I’m not keen on the Pride flag too. I think it should be something like a gay dinosaur playing guitar on a surfboard whilst shooting rainbow lasers from his eyes as it’s much better than just a boring rainbow. Whilst we may not agree on the best idea of a Pride flag at least we can agree Pride is still cool. ;p

@adamman12345 we're here for your zelda rankings, not your hatred for a group of people.

Breath of the Wild > Majora's Mask 3D > Wind Waker HD > Ocarina of Time 3D > Twilight Princess HD

Here's how I'd rank the 3D Zelda games so far. Keep in mind that I haven't fully played all of them.

1) The Wind Waker HD
2) Breath of the Wild
3) Ocarina of Time 3D
4) Twilight Princess HD
5) Majora's Mask 3D
6) Skyward Sword

The top 4 I definitely like, but I have a hard time getting into Majora's Mask for some reason. I do respect that many of you like it though, I just wish that I could get into it more. As for Skyward Sword, I couldn't get into that one either. I had a really hard time with the motion controls. Again, just like with MM I do respect that it has its fans.

I Remember a few that i've picked up/used to own.
1. Breath of the Wild
2. The Wind Waker
3. Oracle of Ages
4. Triforce Heroes
5. The Legends of Zelda.

My Older Brother owned Ocarina of Time and Twlight Princess. i have not played either yet, (sadly, we lost both of those games years ago.) i do plan on buying OOT and MM pretty soon .

I own all the 3D Zelda games in at least one form, but have only played three of them and finished two. Of the two I finished, I prefer Breath of the Wild a little more over Ocarina of Time 3D. Skyward Sword HD is a release I'm contemplating down the road as I enjoy motion gaming and don't mind straight forward, focused design in games I play. I just know that I'm double dipping on a game I dropped back on the Wii when the 3DS was picking up steam. From what I understand, SSHD will no longer insult a player's intelligence by continually repeating information, so I've been tempted to give it a second chance.

That first, full week of October is looking very stacked and I personally don't recall being more excited for a week's gaming releases. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania that Tuesday and then Metroid Dread drops that Friday. Metroid Dread may not actually get to coast on that new Metroid game allure with me to the extent that Metroid: Samus Returns did. It'll be an interesting start to October.

@adamman12345 Get a life.

On the subject of Zelda games, I haven't really played many. Only BOTW and Links awakening. I may play Skyward sword HD soon. The problem is I was late to consoles like the 3ds and Wii U (with revamps of zelda) and before I had got a lot of games, the switch came along.

As much as I'm vocally disappointed with the OLED model for other reasons this is a good take. OLED really is a game changer and it should be the standard for all devices of this class (i.e. sub 10" displays) given the relatively small price gap now. If I was jumping on the Switch bandwagon now I'd definitely go OLED

....... we could've done well with at least higher clock and more RAM but. Hopefully Nintendo goes OLED for the next piece of hardware also

The SWOLED is still tempting to me... but I think I need to spend that 350 bucks on a new phone. My screen is so cracked and busted that it kind of hurts to hold it up to my ear lol

Ranking these not on how great they are today but how much of an impact they had on me at the time I played them:

1. Breath of the Wild
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Twilight Princess
4. Skyward Sword
5. Link's Awakening HD
6. The Wind Waker
7. Majora's Mask

Breath of the Wild is pretty much my favorite all time game. Ocarina of Time robbed me of an entire semester of college, grades and all. I loved the vibe of Twilight Princess, and I loved Midna. I enjoyed Skyward Sword and Wind Waker, but not to the same extent. I never got around to finishing Majora's Mask.

The Switch OLED is not for me. I play 95% of the time on my TV. If I need to replace my Switch in the next couple years though, I'll probably spring for the extra $50 and get the OLED version, just because that's a nice upgrade for just $50.

My 3D Zelda ranking would be something like:

1. Breath of the Wild
2. Twilight Princess (haven't played the HD version)
3. Wind Waker (only played the HD version)
4. Ocarina of Time (only played the 3D version)

Haven't played Majora's Mask at all yet and I'm only just now playing Skyward Sword for the first time (on the Wii, natch) so I can't really rank it yet. Based on what I've played so far I'd probably put SS above WW, but I feel like I might appreciate WW more if I replay it. So basically the entire list is subject to change and therefore pretty much pointless, but there we are.

I should have explained why I didn't get into Majora's Mask in my last post. Mainly because I got stuck after like the first 10 minutes of the game. I got through the first part where I got the Ocarina of Time back, and used it to start the 3 days over again. I explored everywhere afterward...seemingly all the areas are blocked and I have no clue how to get to them. Never got to even a single dungeon.

@mjharper My thoughts exactly. It's cool that the Switch OLED has these extra perks, like the larger screen and internal storage, but I've been finding myself playing on the TV way more with my V1 Switch. Not sure if I want to upgrade to that right away unless I really have to.

@skywake
Hopefully. It would be incredibly disappointing to go back to LCD on the next Switch. They almost have to stick with OLED going forward.

I suspect they will, given the low cost and growing demand for it as more and more people come to realize what it offers. Unless... they get some killer deal on LCD. Which is always a possibility. Never underestimate their desire to penny pinch given the opportunity.

@Anti-Matter This is like the third time you said that you hate Zelda games...there's no need to keep repeating yourself.

(angry most of the time)

I can't look at the SWOLED without feeling complete and utter contempt for the product. It should've been more, it should've been better. Anyone who already owns a Switch and is considering purchasing the SWOLED are sheep (no offense, it's your money and none of my business how you spend it). And the wait for the next best platform from Nintendo is going to be long and arduous.
