Nice.

The problem I have with Shin'en, is that they weren't transparent and didn't say before launch that FAST RMX has less features than its predecessor.

They should have been transparent and told us, but could of course have added that the features of its predecessor will arrive after launch.

I have felt tricked into buying this for two days, as Shin'en told Nintendo Life in an interview that FAST RMX is an upgrade but left out that some features would be left behind.

They broke the fourth wall!!!

Oh, I'm excited!

I got my 4 Pro Controllers, carrying case, and Zelda limited edition.

I'll have to wait for the 3 pairs of Joy-Con and Joy-Con charger, as they're late.

"Which titles will you go for, given these file sizes?"

I don't choose games based on their file sizes.

I sent in news tip on this at around 18:40 UTC, yesterday, about 13 hours and 30 minutes ago.

I noticed this article was published about 7 hours ago.

@ThomasBW84
How do I send you a tip for news I've not seen covered elsewhere?

It is now March 3rd in Japan!

Ocarina Of Time is the "best game ever" for me, since I played it on release day. I can understand people playing it years later not getting the same sense of awe when playing it, but when released it truly was like nothing before it, and because I played it on release I still hold it just as high today.

The Wind Waker came close for me, or is maybe even as good, and I simply cannot wait to see how Breath Of The Wild will impact me in the days, weeks and months to come!

I'm crying right now!!!

This is fantastic, a small but great design choice like the rounded edges of the Wii U discs!

Someone explain to me how Nintendo is seen as the "kid brand", when they only have EFIGS localization in Europe, and many games on PlayStation has Norwegian and other small languages.

"I'm still confused why the left joy con didn't have a d-pad. The points can still be used as a conventional button press in 2-player portable mode."

Pressing two buttons simultaneously would be cumbersome.

@KirbyTheVampire
"I don't think a lot of people worry about that. Most people usually look at the available games, not what triggers it uses."

No analogue triggers rules out any car racing games!

@Captain_Gonru
"Fingers crossed I can find extra controllers (though the store folks I've talked to aren't exactly filling me with hope)."

Are extra controllers hard to find?
Where do you live, if I may ask?

I'm Norwegian, and I pre-ordered four Pro Controllers and three pair of Joy -Con 12 days ago in a store in Oslo. I hope I get at least some of this on launch day.

Can someone please tell me why people even do business with GAME?
I'm Norwegian, but even I have heard of a dozen occasions over the years when GAME has messed up pre-orders.

I have never played this game. Maybe I will check it out when it arrives on Switch.

I just waited for this to happen.

"But at least complain about stuff that isn't completely optional (the Pro controller), ludicrous (a DVD/Blu-ray player in a portable device), already available in the box (the charger), or flat out incorrect information ("32 mb of storage" lol)."

I also noticed his 32 milli bit (32 mb "fact"). 32 thousands of a bit? Really? Haha!

@Bengals76
"Absolutely not. Nintendo is asleep at the wheel. This thing is nothing more than an upgraded WiiU."

You haven't ever touched a Wii U, have you? This is nothing like a Wii U, at all. And it's certainly not a Wii U upgrade, as the Switch can't do everything the Wii U can, but the Switch also has features the Wii U do not have.

What colour is the Joy-Con pair? It doesn't say anywhere.

I noticed the blue+red Switch is inverse of the red+blue Joy-Con pair two weeks ago, so I pre-ordered both of these, plus two grey Joy-Con pairs! I also pre-ordered four Pro Controllers, so I'll now have controllers for at least four players for every game imaginable!

Beautiful price point!

@MrGawain

"The guy from Gamexplain said he chatted to the developer and they said it would be a launch game if Nintendo had sorted out their online servers. Guessing this is the part of the game that's delaying things."

Can you post a link, please?

I got "hyruleking"!

The forum thread linked to in the article had 28 readers, then 30, then 32, now 29, all guests and no members, all because Nintendo Life linked to it!

"Confirmation", you say? Confirmed by who? Not Nintendo!

It's a photo of a screen that could easily be manipulated. You throw away the confirmation-word too easily!!!

Switch, anyone?

Great, great interview!
Thank you, Nintendo Life!

And Tomorrow Corporation, I love your games!!!

The red and blue parts on either side keeps changing sides!

I'm so getting this!

SCREW YOU, NINTENDO!

Good read! Thanks!

I got the Twitter notification and didn't initially see the entire headline, and thought maybe Vaccine is the name of the studio porting 90s Arcade Racer to Switch!

Is the spectator view only for local Private Battles, or also for online Private Battles?

David Wise is a genius! I wish musicians composing video game music were more recognized!

Why aren't there black versions???

I love Tetris, but what's the Pew Pew thing?

I imagine I'd appreciate a definitive version of Tetris instead, containing every great feature from across all the games.

28 minigames are still too few. Nintendo Land had 12, most of them with way more depth than any of the ones I've seen. When I look at 1-2-Switch, I think the Mario Party and Wii Party series, games which has between double and triple the minigames of 1-2-Switch.

How on earth can anyone say the Swith's shell is better than that of the Wii U GamePad?
Good luck with hand cramps, folks!

Just like Nintendo claimed DS would be its Third Pillar, we have a Second Pillar situation now. The Switch or a "Switch Mini" will eventually replace the 3DS.

This is now definitely on my radar!

@gatorboi352

"And no, the fact that Switch is essentially a Wii U that you can also take outside of the same room that your dock is in is not a system selling point to the western audience."

Have you even played the Wii U? The Switch is nothing like the Wii U.

I'd rather have a Wii U 2, than Switch, actually.

So Splatoon 2 is ready, but held back?

"Also, we recently had a DLC sale that, due to some clerical errors, didn't fully work in the EU and Australia / New Zealand region."

It did not "fully work", what does that mean?
So there was a previous sale in Europe? When? And how did it not work, did it only work for some customers?

"Interesting, the UHS Class I in the Hori cards is actually the slower option; UHS is a relatively recent standard and relates more specifically to how quickly memory works in devices like cameras. UHS Class 3 is better, in this respect, especially in this era of recording 4K video. That said, the UHS Class clearly isn't particularly vital for the Switch, hence these licensed cards opting for the slower speed."

Why isn't the fastest cards recommended? Compared to UHS class I, speed class 10, with 80 MB/s read speed, how much faster are the game cards?

What happened to the no-piracy-policies Nintendo Life enforced for years?

Wasn't this the tournament with "Super Mario Bros. Melee"?

I think it was deleted since this likely is a development kit.

Interesting.
