Nintendo wants as many people as possible to own a Switch and the games and everything they sell. It's a business, they want money. I just hope marketing it like this doesn't mean dropping split-screen and adding the "local play" instead of having both.
There will be a DK sometime during the Switch's life, no doubt. When or what it will be like we have no idea. This doesn't seem like a leak to me at all though, it just seems like Reggie was saying how the DK games are all different and making his point.
I still have never seen one in a store. When I do, I will buy it. No way am I paying over the retail price from some scalper for games I could (and used to) emulate on my Wii U for free.
I have only taken my Switch out of my house once. I just bring my 2DS XL to play on the go. But what I like doing is sitting on my couch playing the Switch in handheld mode. The controllers feel better and I can see better. The only time I play docked is when playing a 2 player game or using motion controls (which I never do except in Odyssey).
@rockodoodle The Wii version is the one that sold the most, not the one for the Wii U. Yes I am aware you can play your Wii games but why would you do that if you had a Wii U?
@tourjeff Just saw it at Best Buy while waiting in line for the Super Mario Odyssey launch for $60 on the Wii on Friday so I don't know if it was a mistake or that's the price of it in stores or whatever happened.
I have seen Switches pretty much every time at Walmart, Target and Best Buy ever since mid-August.
On the other hand, I have never seen the Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, or Skyward Sword Link amiibo and I've been searching forever for them. I would also like to purchase a SNES Classic but have never seen one of those either.
I wouldn't be surprised. They did it with the Wii (Galaxy 1 + 2). And obviously Odyssey is a good game (it has the same score as both galaxys and even BOTW right now, but that's most likely going to change) so it would make sense to use the same mechanics just add new worlds and new enemies and stuff.
Going to the midnight release at Best Buy. Already pre-ordered the game but when I'm there I'll try to swipe the 3 pack of amiibo too. Not going to read the review yet though, just wanted to see the number (as if it would be anything different). I'll read it later on when I finish the final boss and more open to some spoilers.
I would buy, but it was a free to own game on steam over the summer so I got it then. It's alright, but I won't be double dipping on the Switch for it.
@ThomasBW84 Actually that's not the case about who you follow. When I'm watching any video about Odyssey (this video included) on the Up Next on the side there is a picture of the final boss. There are also more that leak extra worlds under it. Also in most comments there are spoilers about the game.
Already owned it and disliked it a lot. The controls were wacky, the lighting (especially on the tablet) was weird, didn't like the graphics, and I just wasn't having a good time playing it.
I honestly don't want Nintendo making mobile games. The more games there is on the appstore means less time spent on Switch/3DS game development and more reason for someone to not buy a Switch/3DS because their favorite Nintendo game is already on the appstore...
Still own this game but haven't touched it since year one after all my stuff broke and got lost. Had a lot on it, all the worlds unlocked and stuff. I'm not mad about this or even surprised and it's good there's leaks ahead of time (unless it's really not ending, but pretty sure it is). Kind of bad they promised it would be 4 years and it's being broken, could potentially get into legal stuff because people might of bought for that reason.
Still not as bad as Disney Infinity where I had everything then a day came saying "lol it's all over peace out"
Don't like how it's the last 30 seconds, you can't start recording when you want it to (both have good effects and bad effects I guess). Still a step in the right direction. Nice adding more avatars but nothing will make me ever change my Wind Waker Link one. Save data transfer should've been a thing when the system came out. Eshop pre-loading games is such a great thing too. Good updates Nintendo, but there's still work to be done.
This update is so great! Went on today and had 1600 coins so it was a lot of ARMS getting. Wish you could see the badges because I like trying to unlock them. I'll probably just look up what they are once there's been a full list made of them. This will make me being playing ARMS tons more.....until Odyssey that is...
@Caryslan There are 4 dungeons (Some say 5 if they count Hyrule Castle) which you are in divine beasts. There are also things like mini-dungeons, called shrines, where there are chests with special items sometimes. Bosses are scattered around Hyrule that if you kill can drop some good loot. There is pretty much no advancing in the game (minus the very beginning on the Great Plateau), you can do anything in the game whenever you want. There is still a boomerang and bows, but you can find them in the first half hour of the game by just killing normal enemies. However there is no hookshot in the game anymore.
As if it's like Twilight Princess, it's hard to say. This game changes up the way Zelda is, for better and for worse and different times. Either way I think you should buy it. You'll enjoy it and it'll be worth the money, I'm just not certain you will like it more than Twilight Princess.
@Anti-Matter Even though I already own a Switch and the games they are bundled with, they really should cut the price $20. The whole point of bundles is you save money, but that's not the case with those, especially because they just give you a download code. The only reason to buy one is....those green and pink exclusive (in NA) Joy-cons...
Also why have you spent so much money on games you haven't played? The amount you spent has to be over $400 worth, so why wouldn't you just get a Switch and one or two games to enjoy?
I'm back into Breath of the Wild Master Mode after not playing the game for awhile. Also playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3D because I wanna at least get a little far before I buy Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Gonna play the Splatfest too.

Re: Poll: Which is the Best Super Mario Game?
I still feel as it's too early to say which is the best 3D Mario but so far to me it's Odyssey. I can say when I have Odyssey 100%
Re: Review: King Oddball (Switch eShop)
Looks like a cheapo steam game or a free mobile game. Definitely passing on this one.

Right now Odyssey but I think it's still too early to tell since I haven't 100%ed Odyssey yet.

Re: Nintendo Gamers Prefer Using Switch As A Handheld Rather Than Docked
I have only taken my Switch out of my house once. I just bring my 2DS XL to play on the go. But what I like doing is sitting on my couch playing the Switch in handheld mode.

Re: Rocket League Blasts Onto the Nintendo Switch on 14th November
Already have on my PS4 which is also where all my friends have it so won't buy this. Will be getting Skyrim the day before though!

I really wish there was a Link (preferably Toon Link) costume. Aren't there more than 10 of them now?

Super Mario Odyssey!
Re: More UK Gamers Bought The Wii Version Of Just Dance 2018 Than Switch, Xbox One Or Wii U
Why are people buying $60 for their wii? Can't they just save for a current-gen console?

Hmmm don't really eat breakfast, but I'd rather cold.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Halloween Edition
Just Odyssey for me! Trying to finish it but then there's Skyrim coming out and not too long after Xenoblade Chronicles 2

@Ryu_Niiyama I actually specifically not bought that version of the Switch with the Neon Joy-Cons because I saw that picture
I really do have the grey Joy-Con bundle though

Re: Action-RPG Blossom Tales Is Set to Bloom on Switch eShop This Winter
Interesting, but I don't think it's worth $15 (that's the steam price, so I'd imagine it'll be that or higher)
Re: You Can Play Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Right Now, But There's A Catch
I'm just gonna wait for it to come out, and even when it does I don't think I'll be playing much since Animal Crossing isn't that fun to me.

Re: DLC Review: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - Ultra Challenge Pack

Still don't own this game, plan on getting it end of December once I finish up all these great games like Odyssey, Xenoblade, Skyrim, and other games
Re: Soapbox: Breath Of The Wild Is Amazing, But Is It The 3D Zelda That Enthusiasts Expected?
@CorvoRevo It's not too late, I think it's still to early. There's still DLC yet to come which could change some of this stuff up.
Re: Soapbox: Breath Of The Wild Is Amazing, But Is It The 3D Zelda That Enthusiasts Expected?
@Caryslan There are 4 dungeons (Some say 5 if they count Hyrule Castle) which you are in divine beasts. There are also things like mini-dungeons, called shrines, where there are chests with special items sometimes. Bosses are scattered around Hyrule that if you kill can drop some good loot. There is pretty much no advancing in the game (minus the very beginning on the Great Plateau), you can do anything in the game whenever you want. There is still a boomerang and bows, but you can find them in the first half hour of the game by just killing normal enemies. However there is no hookshot in the game anymore.
As if it's like Twilight Princess, it's hard to say. This game changes up the way Zelda is, for better and for worse and different times. Either way I think you should buy it. You'll enjoy it and it'll be worth the money, I'm just not certain you will like it more than Twilight Princess.
Re: Nintendo of America Launches Its Holiday Gift Guide Website
@Anti-Matter Even though I already own a Switch and the games they are bundled with, they really should cut the price $20.

The only reason to buy one is....those green and pink exclusive (in NA) Joy-cons...

One off the list of the things the Switch needs. Too bad there's still a lot still to go...
