Well, I surely hope this new Zelda game has a linear story telling. The random memories flashbacks we're such a big turn off for me. Also the lack of real dungeons. After the 20th or so shrine, it felt repetitive and bland. The puzzles we're great, but the motif was bland.

It's sad for me because I've been a big Zelda fan for over 25 years and I can say BotW is my least favorite Zelda game ever.

He took it rather well. I thought he'd be throwing a tantrum like most immature players I've seen over the years who can't deal with an built-in mechanic. LoL 😂

Just as they brought Moon Patrol to Switch, I would like Hamster (and/or Nintendo) to bring Mr. Do! and Popeye. Who know who holds the rights for those two arcade classics, but if they were to be released on Switch, my 80's arcade nostalgia would be complete. 😁

I already pre-ordered mine from Best Buy. 😁

I am so excited for this game. I remember when SC64 came out and even though many people had negative comments on it, I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to support Blizzary by buying this title and playing local multi with my kids. Who knows, maybe Blizzard one day will release Overwatch on Switch.

Well what a coincidence! I just DLed this game on my Xbox One but since I don't have LIVE, I can only play this few weeks during my free trial. Well, I guess I can Switch consoles and play it for cheaper or even for free if my feelings are right about Nintendo Online services. 😁

So far, so good for me. I DLed the expansion and play navigated several menus and played a the first match of the World Cup mode without any issues.

He he. That's what he gets. 😂

"Koch Media will continue to operate as a separate entity, and no restructuring is currently planned."

In any hostile take over and/or company merger there is almost always a form of restructuring that is planned even before the ink dries. Just watch.

Omg! I can select ONLY 3 games in the poll? I'm excited about 15 of them! 😂

I hope the release the arcade versions of Donkey Kong and its sequels. So far the only way to play the original one, besides in an arcade's dark corner, is to unlock it on DK64. Also, the possibility of one day Popeye to get released as part of Nintendo's ACA series. Simply exciting.

So, is this the first if a series where you will show more covers? Because I was expecting more than just two.

Wow, they're both red!?!? I thought one was green and one red when I saw the Switch box at Wal-Mart. Stupid color blindness. 🤣🤣🤣

I used mine about 95% of the time with the slider position depending on the game. The feature was amazing in Metroid. Surely I'll miss Stereoscopic 3D gaming.

@ruben602 Thanks! That's all I needed to know. It might sound silly but to me, the music is an integral part of any gaming experience. I played Minecraft PE (years ago) and a couple of clones; and without the music, it just wasn't the same.

So I have a question. Since this is close to an earlier version of PE, does it have music? I remember when I used to okay it on an older phone, it didn't have the music soundtrack.

I pre-ordered the game and I'm "impantiently" waiting for tomorrow to pick it up. 😀

Is not available in all Sprint stores, only in selected ones. My local store has the sign on the door stating to come inside to get a badge and yet, they're not available there.

Talk about false advertisement. 😒

@Moon @hendie001 I've experienced sinking into blocks too, although I experienced it as well on the XB1, 360, and Wii U versions so is not a big deal at all to me. I find it hilarious if anything.

The one glitch I've found which concerns me is in the jungle. There is this massive jungle biome in one of the maps, and almost every time I navigate it, the game crashes. Furtunately, the auto save feature brings me back close to where I was when I reboot the game.

I bought Minecraft on day one (for the 6th time) and I love it. Having the bigger maps and 60fps even in split screen multi is a great plus. I've taken it to work and played with co-workers during my lunch break reviving my co-workers' interest in the game.

Personaly, between Minecraft, BotW, and MK8D; I'm set for the rest of the year until Mario and Skyrim come out in the holiday season and fall. 😃

Wii U maps transfer and bigger worlds!? 100% day one purchase for me! 😄

I already set up LAN parties for MK:DD!!! on GCN, so this is a welcome addition to me.

@manu0 hmm, I'll try that. Maybe redo some lower puzzles and then go back to where I left off. Hopefully that would break the sequence of events that triggered the bug?

@manu0 The issue with the game is that a lot of times, even if my answer took the number of steps (or fewer) required to beat each puzzle, the game won't accept my correct answers. The game recognizes I have a correct answer but it still doesn't accept them because the game is programmed to accept ONE specific correct answer.

@manu0 I completely understand that. As a matter of fact, I'm the type of person who solves math problems in my head better than on paper because I'm always looking for shortcuts.

Which brings me to another example of the flaw of the game. In a couple of ocations, my answers would take one or two fewer steps than the number required by the game and still it wasn't the answer the game wanted.

So game doesn't ask you for the least amount of steps. It randomly generates an specific answer per player. As aforementioned, my game would require answer A (for example), but my son's file would require, sometimes, B and if we looked onine, the player's answer sometimes would be C.

It is obvious that these puzzles has multiple answers and it seems sometimes the "shortest" answer might not be programmed into the game.

I bought it for U and having loved the first two entries from Tomorrow Corporation, I thought HRM would be a really good title. I was wrong.

World of Goo was amazing and Little Inferno was fun and challenging. However, Human Resources Machine became a very frustrating experience after only a handful of levels.

Starts extremely easy in a tutorial sort of way, but then it goes from easy to extremely hard in 2.5 puzzles. The game demands you solve the puzzles with one specific answer; which it wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of the puzzles, if not all, can be solved with multiple answers. The game recognizes your effort when you solve a puzzle with your own answer, but it demands the puzzle to be solved in one specific way.

Even worse, if you try to use an online guide or playthrough, that won't work either because, apparently, the game generates a different answer to each person. So if I solved the puzzle with answer X, you might need to solve it with Y, and the next person might need to solve it with answer Z; regardless of how many times you try.

@Yhdekskymmenen That's what I thought too. It has been my experience with Apple and Android devices that 3rd party battery charges damage the OEM battery. However, Nintendo itself mentioned in the Switch unveiling Tokio event that the Switch can use "official USB-C batteries" to charge the Switch.

Whatever that means by "official". I guess we just need to be careful by not buying generic batteries.

The only issue I had with the left joy con one time is that it disconnected when I plugged it to the Switch itself. Other than that, no issues.

Samurai Shodown! Yesssss! Hopefully they'll release Samurai Shodown II as well!!!

@PowerStar Even if it did it would not really matter because the game feature needs to be added by the programmer.

As for me, I'm buying the red joy con grip and the four joy con charging stand on next payday.

@GoldenGamer88 Yeah I see. Thinking this over, the Switch's sleep mode is no different than the Wii's standby mode which allowed it to download automatically updated and receive messages while the console was "off". The same is for Wii U which allows for the same mechanic. The XBOX One has a similar stand by mode feature which allows you to "turn on and off" your console using voice commands via the kineck. Even though the buttons might say "off", The consoles were never truly off.

The only difference is that nintendo is finally showing on the screen of the Switch what really is, a "sleep mode" instead of a power down/Turn off as it did with Wii and U.

All these being said, nintendo should've added a full power down button right on the main power button screen, just like a PC, instead having to navigate fuether to submenus to find it.

I had so much fun with my kids playing MH3U, me on the Wii U and they on their 3DS handhelds. I would love for CAPCOM to make another cross platform MH game for Switch and New 3DS. But with the new portable nature of Switch, I doubt this will happen. 😳

@GoldenGamer88 Yeah I was confused as well about The difference between "powering down" and "sleep mode". Anyhow, did you try the HDMI mode to put the Switch into sleep mode when turning off the TV? You have to have a tv compatible with such feature. But again, I think it only puts the Switch on sleep mode, not off. My bad.

As a Zelda fan... That was awesome! 😮

I wrote my dates day (numeric), month (spelled out), year (numeric). To me makes more sense to make reference first about the day in which we are, then the month, then the year. However, most U.S. population used the mm/dd/yyyy formats. So when looking at my format, it take them a bit to process the information LoL!

@GoldenGamer88 By powering off do you mean completely off or power saving mode? Because you CAN put the game in Sleep Mode with your remote. Simply navigate to the Power Icon on the Home Screen. Personally I enabled HDMI mode that powers down the Switch when I turn off the TV.

Also, did you use to hate your smartphone/tablet? iPhones and iPads used to turn on when plugging the charging cable. I think Apple finally changed that last year with the latest iOS. The Apple Watch stills does that. As for Android, they haven't done that for a year or two as well. The point is, a lot of smart devices do or used to do that until recently.

@Sinton Completely agree. Naysayers don't take into account that playing a game that makes hard use of the video processor in the iphones or Android devices will drain the batteries. If I were to play Pokemon Go constantly battling gyms and catching pokemon on my G4, it would drain my new battery in matter of a few hours. The older battery it would overheat it to the point that the phone shut down to prevent damage.

So I think the battery life of the Switch goes along with other devices.

@Shinnos Yeah, it is a shame Aonuma decided to do that. When TP was released on Wii and GameCube (and even on the Wii U remake), each version provided different features without feeling like different game. The GameCube version is the original experience with Link being left handed and having traditional analog controls. The Wii version featured widescreen support with progressive scan graphics, motion controls, and IR tracking for more realistic feeling and accuracy. The Wii U version provided HD graphics with the hability to have analog and motion tracking alas the IR controls, touchscreen support, and amiibo support.

Each version of the game is slightly different, but at their core, they are all the same game. I trully feel Aonuma made a huge mistake in not utilizing each console's individual features. Perhaps he just went the lazy porting route like Activision and others use in making games for different consoles in orther to maximize profit. Or simply they didn't have the resources to have a simultaneous launch.

Whatever the reason, it is a shame.

Even though I never finished the Wii U version I rellay loved the game. I'm defenitely buying this game... after i'm done with Breath of the Wild. ;- )

I can't wait. I got a pass so I'll be there!! I can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store this year!! 😁

Samurai Shodown II pleaseeeeeeee!!!!!!!

One week! I just can't wait. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but, this game will be bitter sweet for the Wii U version since the removed full Gamepad compatibility for the console. Right?

@NickOfTime90 I'm with you. I've never played skyrim before so it doesn't matter to me. Also I think it'll be a version between the 360 and the One like Minecraft for Wii U. The Wii U version of Minecraft wasn't fully the 360 nor the One but somewhere in between.

Honestly I can't wait for Switch and these events are really cool considering that most nintendo events happen in large metropolitan areas. T-11 days and counting!!! 😄

@kobashi100 Let's not forget the Cave of Trials/Ordeals. 😳

I haven't read any of the comments not the article in its entirety. But I do have to say that, while I'm excited for the expansion pack concept, I'm greatly disappointed in the fact that Hard Mode and the Cave of Trials (Cave of Ordeals) is now content that needs to be paid for if we want to enjoy it.

I know Aonuma wants to break the Zelda conventions, but this is ridiculous.

Here we go again. People bashing Nintendo by saying is "too expensive". The controller is only $10 more expensive than the basic XBOX One controller. Any special edition controller goes up to $70-$100. And the their new Elite controller is $150!!!

So please people, stop hating and just buy it If you want, or move on if you don't.

I already have 5 consoles, 3 handhelds, two tablets, 3 PC's, and 4 cellphones that can do all that. No problem at all!

I say is after Wind Wakes.

Speaking of musical references:

"Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night,
it's only right
To think about the Switch you love
and hold it tight
So happy togetheeeer."

March 3rd is not coming fast enough!
