I think the games and the system itself are really good. The OS needs some major work and the lack of any information on the virtual console is absolutely insane and infuriating.
Wow, that was a very condescending and nonsensical answer. Hey Nintendo, stop catering to only your Japanese audience. I don't know if you know this, but your Western audience is actually bigger.
It's absolutely going to be the pocket edition. There is no way that the Switch can run the original game. Don't get your hopes up here. The only games that are going to come to the Switch are Nintendo first party, indies, the occasional third party exclusive, and mobile games. AAA third party parity is dead.
This is the kind of game that I always hoped that Ubisoft would make using their Ubiart engine. And then after Child of Light and Valiant Hearts, they just dropped this style all together, which sucks. Glad to see these guys picking up the mantle. Day one buy for me.
Couldn't wait for this one, so I played it on PS4. I would recommend this to any Switch owner. Deeply emotional story and a great soundtrack. One of my favorite games of the year for sure.
It will most likely be Disney Afternoon Collection and Megaman Legacy collections. No way is Monster Hunter World coming to the Switch. I love my Switch, but it is not powerful enough to run that game. They would have to majorly gimp it.
Now what they actually need to do is update it so that you can set play time limits BY USER, and not have play time limits be effective for everyone. Which is the biggest flaw with the app that I've seen.
I think people on here mad at Ubisoft for not supporting the Switch enough should throw that criticism elsewhere, (EA & Activision maybe). It seems like they're really the only ones actually supporting Nintendo right now. I was honestly surprised and delighted to see more than just the Rabbids crossover going to the Switch.
For people who haven't played this game, it tries REALLY hard to be a Zelda game, but lacks any sense of adventure, heart, charm, or personality. It ends up just feeling like a kind of bland Wind Waker knock off. I wouldn't waste my money if I were you.
At this point I'm going to keep my expectations AS LOW as possible concerning anything Nintendo. I'm honestly just expecting Mario to be showcased this year, nothing else. I've been burned too many times by the big N in the past 4 to 5 years.
I'm very hyped for Mario, but kind of worried that they won't have enough to fill out 2017 and Spring of 2018. Are they really not going to show ANY 2018 stuff at all?
I think they could make even better game if they kept the open adventure nature of this game and then give us traditional dungeons on top of that. That was one of the only things I didn't like about this game, the fact it doesn't have traditional dungeons...
If you have all 4 divine beast abilities, it's really not too hard. That lighting one really is OP. I didn't even have to sneak to get that orb from the Hinox. I actually killed him.
The UI needs an update, fast. I love how fast it is, but it's just too bare bones. Needs an internet browser and needs virtual console support. The virtual console is Nintendo's best idea that they keep screwing up over and over again.
I understand the skepticism. But the thing is, he's gained a lot of subscribers from all of this, and he creates quality content. Isn't that kind of what YouTube is all about? He obviously passionate about Nintendo, and on his way to having the ability to make a living through YouTube. Leave him alone and let him do his thing.
The fact of the matter is, there's no reason it shouldn't have them. Name a major piece of tech now that doesn't have these services available. It feels like you're buying a combo meal at a fast food joint and not getting fries (or chips for you brits).
I'm still shocked with how bad the designs are for some of these Pokemon. Bewear is a dumb design AND a dumb name. Which is sad, because I loved all the new Pokemon in gen 6.
Why can't you answer none? All of these games are available on the virtual console. This is just a cheap cop-out by Nintendo because they don't have any new releases this Christmas. I don't understand why people are so excited about this.
It will sell WAY more than 2 million copies. I guarantee it. Even Skyward Sword sold over 7 million, and people hate that game (not myself, I love it).
The fact is those, they made enough money to make 15 versions of this game. I understand that making 10 different SKUs on different systems has to be hard. But why did he start to do other crap that no one wanted, like the mighty no. 9 cartoon? Where did all the money go is what I want to know.
I do love that they're doing this because I love Shovel Knight, but I kind of wish they would move on to something new. Maybe go ahead and get started on Super Shovel Knight, or Shovel Knight 64 or something.
I want to see Nintendo knock it out of the park with this one, and before I saw the new Zelda I would've said it was hopeless. But that game has given me hope that Nintendo does know how to listen to it's fanbase, and give us something that we want. It's probably a fool's hope though...
What if the one of the left is Link, and the one of the right is Zelda? And you get to choose to play as Link or Zelda? That would be awesome actually. To actually get to play as Zelda in the Legend of Zelda?
I hate to say it, but this game is looking a little too good to be running smoothly on a Wii U. I know Mario Kart 8 is gorgeous, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Wii U version is as good as we see here.

@yuwarite But we all will continue to buy their stuff, hence the problem...
Re: Random: GameCube Listings on Nintendo Websites Raise Hopes for Switch, But Don't Get Too Excited
If true, that's a weird 4 games to come out of the gate with.
Re: RiME Will Arrive on Nintendo Switch in November
@gatorboi352 And the fact that it's already on sale for $20 on the PlayStation store.
Re: RiME Will Arrive on Nintendo Switch in November
@gatorboi352 Yup, that's why I bought a PS4. Well, that and Monster Hunter World.

Re: Video: Overcooked: Special Edition on Switch Could Do With a Little More Time in the Oven
With games like Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 hitting 60fps, there's no reason for the crappy framerate here. Hopefully they can fix this quickly.

@BoFiS Or, and this is crazy, have it available for BOTH. Shocker....
Re: Capcom Reportedly Gearing Up for Multiple Nintendo Switch Titles

Re: Co-Operative Blast 'Em Up Nine Parchments Is Casting Its Spell On Switch
Loved Trine 2, but hated Has Been Heroes. Here's hoping for a great game again from them. Also, I wish they would port Trine 3 to the Switch.
Re: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Confirmed for Nintendo Switch
The first one was amazing and by far my favorite Lego game. Count me in.

Re: Nintendo Switch Owners Will Have To Wait Longer And Pay More For RiME
Well since this looks like a smaller and less interesting version of Breath of the Wild anyway, PASS! Dumb move on their part.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is Out Today on the Wii U eShop
@Jd12345678 It's actually not waggle. It's one to one motion control. If you try to play it like that you will die a lot.
Re: Poll: Will You Still Be Playing Pokémon GO at the End of 2016?
I hope they start by adding Gen 6 pokemon next. Just because I want a Hawlucha so bad. Just give me Hawlucha!
