Wait....this is legal, how?

@PanurgeJr LOL, I mean the guy totally deserves it sometimes. It's gotta be less opinion-oriented, and more agenda-driven by him at this point....just because of the sheer frequency of posts.

@SmaMan Gaf banned for that exact comment lol

I've called my two local Gamestops and I'm on a pre-order "call list" which means by the time they call me to tell me....it's prob too late.

I JUST WANT A PROPER PRESS RELEASE TELLING ME HOW I CAN GET ONE!!!!!!!

....instead I'm going crazy trying to find it on my own in a panic

WHERE ARE THE NORTH AMERICAN PREORDERS!?!?!?!?!?

Art style is really cool....but I'm afraid it might cause confusion during gameplay as it's hard to make out foreground/background and certain elements when they're all stylized in the same way and with the same color-scheme.

ARMS & Splatoon are inevitably getting a Smash tourney invite at some point.... as for the others, keep wishing!

@NEStalgia nice one dood

@Grawlog yeah, came home tonight to learn Amazon screwed me too. Says I might not get it till June 20th now?? wtf

@MrGawain LOL, just fired it up for Switch for the first time and that song got me to google the soundtrack and led me to your comment. I like it though hahaa.

lol this is trolling at its finest.

This is pretty cool, and reasonably priced too. Might have to pick one up!

@jswhitfield8 hahaa, good catch.

@Yorumi "It would just be nice if nintendo spent a bit of time thinking about how people are actually going to use their products. That's all I'm saying. Well and they should up their quality control some. If I seriously have poor joycons(with all the desyncing) and a defective pro-controller that's saying a lot."

Umm...just send your joycon to Nintendo and they swap it out, no questions asked, almost immediately. They provide UPS OVERNIGHT shipping. So if you sent it on a Monday, you will literally receive it back on Wednesday or Thursday. I sent both my Switch (screen) and left Joycon (desyncing) in like 3 weeks ago. Nintendo told me I have a 1-yr manufacture warranty and I can send in whatever I need to at anytime during that period and they will fix it. I was floored with their customer service. Bar none, it was the best I ever experienced. Amazon is close, but this was such a pleasant experience. I was also reluctant to send it in due to hearing stories of lost save data, but had no issues there either. I was told that's a very small fraction of repairs, and usually they are repairs for completely broken machines that need to be swapped out.

I think I said this exact same thing to you a year or so ago....but "you're a glass half-empty kinda guy aren't you?"

It's almost a joke. Learn to be a little more easy going...and I don't know, actually enjoy things at face value more often? I promise life is much more enjoyable that way my friend.

Lol, and people still think Nintendo is creating a false demand by limiting supply.

@CrazedCavalier yeah, Jim Sterling is an absolute tool. It's one thing to be an opinion personality... it's a whole 'nother thing to portray yourself as a gaming entity (looking at you BOTW MetaCritic score...).

Dude needs to get off his high horse and just chill out for a bit.

@Spiders I also felt a huge Okami influence (especially with music)!!!

Hahaa, this is great. There are so many subtle things the devs thought of when making this.

The best part is, if you can think it...you can do it (for the most part).

@ironside1911 Have you PLAYED Zelda yet? It's freaking huge..

There might be 3-4 games that size in total this upcoming generation...maybe. So, the fact that it's 900p should not be discouraging.

To be fair, when you see it in motion it's really not THAT bad. Yes, there are some FPS issues, but I'm overall pretty impressed that effectively, a tablet is running a PS4PRO game this well.

Edit: I had commented based on previously seen videos, but didn't realize this one compares with PSVita as well. Well, now I'm less impressed seeing it stacked up against a ~4 yr old mobile system. Damn.

@MindWanderer That's a valid point I had only slightly thought amount (HDMI switch). I'm not home right now to check, but I recall seeing something in the system settings that was along the lines of "mimicking TV power settings" or something like that. Maybe you can toggle that setting and hope the Switch doesn't send 'power on' signals to your HDMI switch???

At least, that's what I thought this system setting was for. Can't remember exactly what its called or where in the settings its in, but I do remember seeing it yesterday.

Give it a shot. Hope it works.

Otherwise you can always reconfigure (I know it's a pain) your hook-up configuration to compensate.

@uncha1n3d why do you need to power it down while docked? The only times you would need to turn the power off are when you are physically holding it and can turn it off (swapping sd cards, packing for travel, etc).

If it's docked and connected to a power source, there's really no need to turn the power off...just keep it sleeping.

@nhSnork it really isn't an exaggeration! Well said.

I don't care who you are...this is just straight up cool.

So awesome someone who ordinarily couldn't experience games got to experience the Nintendo magic.

@Laxeybobby to be fair, the 'microwave' ones or other similar vids are pretty awful!

...But, this one at least serves a functionality purpose. I'd like to know that if I goof up and drop it, it might still stand a chance

Well that's good to see. Looks like the joycon also help to protect the Switch itself when they're connected.

I will however, be getting a tempered screen protector after reading scratch anecdotes from other users!

@Trickbaby14 hahaa!

This looks dope!! Hopefully will scratch my 'metroid' itch until Nintendo/(hopefully Retro) remedies that!

@chardir hahaa, well said. Yasume needs to get a life.

@Bunkerneath for real! What a cool feature!!! Hahaa, almost comical.

Nintendo is going to take publishing rights, team up with Thorson, tweak and release this as Ice Climbers: Hyper Drift.

Or...not.

XD

Al Newman strikes again.

@RadioHedgeFund that's awesome!! Sucks for the other guy, but you made out like a bandit lol.

@JaxonH Agreed. Also, the Wiimote took some getting used to to make sure it registered your inputs. People who didn't understand the tech and flailed their arms randomly were usually the ones who ended up frustrated.

@Damo it's really not that bad. To be fair, in the second segment he was not a very good "motion gamer" (not that you should have to be, mind you).

It's still in development, and meant to be a side time waster so I'm not overly concerned.

I honestly feel like it doesn't NEED a web browser...but I would like Netflix, Hulu, etc. I mean it is a home console, and people do use those to watch programming. I would think they'll get these apps eventually though, if it sells well.

@AlexSora89 Sorry, wish I could help you but I played only w/ random parties. If I recall correctly...I had heard the online community is pretty sparse now. Hopefully you can find people to play with. I'm like 90% sure you can party up w/ your girlfriend and hook up with a random team mate. I would think so.

Edit: worse case scenario: you and your girlfriend use a "totem" team mate and complete the puzzles that way. Single player sucks, but it would be less dreadful with another person. (Although, I'm not sure if you CAN do this, someone else may have to comment on this).

Good luck!

@PanbanRichard good call. That game looks good!

The detail people go into regarding frame rates is ridiculous. In fact, it's stupid. Just play the game.

@AlexSora89 not really. I think the Switch will have tons of games...but, different ones. It's gotta separate itself from the competition, so I think it will be the only place you can go for certain types of titles---this included.

THIS.... is a good accessory. Well done HORI.

Yeah, this game looks awesome.

@Niinbendo perfecccttttt!!

@AlexSora89 you just kill yourself like 800 times on one-stock matches I think to get mewtwo (I know that still takes a lonnggg time tho).

Where is the source link?

"Fingers crossed for you"

Sounds a bit ominous :/

@capitalism wow, someone actually making sense! Seriously, it seems like people forget how business deals can work.

@cameronbelmont funny, that's almost exactly what I thought too.

Like the article mentioned...why not just add black bars to the sides to preserve the 4:3 (or at least the option to do so)? Seems like an oversight there Hyperkin.

@AlexSora89 touché hahaa

Glad to see it's nothing like the travesty that is the iOS port....

Thank god for the return of voice acting!

This version def warrants a purchase if you're a fan.
