@samuelvictor Wow, my thoughts exactly. My lil' bro was a Cars fanatic back in the day, and got the Cars game for GCN. It was surprisingly good, and we ended up playing it together quite a bit. Thanks for reminding me.😃
Not even sure what accessories I would need. I want to go as simple as possible, and I won't even have any multiplayer games until May. So... Yeah, I'll see in 37 days and go from there I guess.
Give me Shovel Knight for Smash! I mean come on, he's already got an amiibo that's going to be redundant soon... Also, a new round of character skins for Link and Mario to promote newer games like BotW and Odyssey.
Huh... This game just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I wonder how long the race to finish it first in the world upon launch will take. At least a few days, right?
Perhaps cargo shorts will fit, but why would you guys even want it in your pockets anyway? Mine is either staying in its dock, or traveling in my Sheika Slate carry case.
@mateq OK, fair enough. I have no experience in warranty and returns, so I guess you got me there. At least Amazon came through, heh? Also, the Switch's accessories are way too expensive, I don't blame anyone for not buying those.
@mateq In regards to Nintendo's customer service, what makes you say that? I'm genuinely curious, because in all my experiences with them, (and there have been many), I've always felt that their service was excellent. Fast, helpful, and very patient, every time.
Much as I love MK8, I will not be getting this. I refuse to pay for their online, and there isn't enough controllers to really even play local multiplayer.
The neon controllers would be fine separately, but alternating like that is just yuck. I'll stick to grey, thank you very much. Also, why didn't they make a Zelda edition with gold controllers?
I put in a preorder for a console and the BotW Special Edition. Yeah, I know... But I'd personally rather have one locked in and decide I don't want it, than to wait and decide I do and not be able to get one.
@SpaceboyScreams You know what? I'm kinda feeling the same way. BotW is exciting, yes, but Super Mario doesn't release until the Fall, Spla2oon is Summer, and I don't play JRPGs. Skyrim looks cool, but not a deal breaker either. I don't know what to do.
$250 sounds good, especially with PS4 and XBone bundles floating around that price for a few months now. Also take into account, do you really want to be traveling around with a $300+ console? I'd probably be too afraid of getting damaged or lost.
My wish list would be Metroid Prime 4, Super Mario Universe (missed opportunity right there, Ninty) and perhaps... Thousand Year Door HD? Pretty please?
Family got this for Christmas, but we're working on an enormous backlog, so I can't tell you if it's any good or not. Steer clear of the Netflix cartoon though, it's awful.
@KirbyTheVampire My thoughts exactly. The Wii U had a dismal launch line up, and it took forever for me to feel it was worth upgrading from the Wii. The Switch has my interest, now they need to keep it.
I'm cautiously optimistic about the Switch, and have set aside a nice chunk of money in case I do make the swap. Zelda on the go would be awesome, but I could just play it on my Wii U. So... yeah... We'll see.
Merry Christmas everyone! My family got some fun new games, like Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Lego Star Wars, and my little bro got one of those black friday new 3ds', so he's super excited. "Best Christmas eeevvveeerrr!!!!" Personally, I'm just rather tired of this year, but I'm cautiously optimistic about 2017...
Still playing Pirates Curse (Love it! Ended up with both 3ds and Wii u versions from that Humble Bundle months ago.) I think I may hold out on this one for awhile and see if it comes to the Switch. Also, the artstyle is gorgeous, reminds me of Rayman.

Cool, now I just need to finish the base game, and Plague Knight.

Re: I Am Setsuna Confirmed as Launch Day Release on Nintendo Switch
I don't usually play RPGs, and this one looks really generic to me... So I'll pass. But, hey! I'm glad you guys have got one more game for launch.

I've changed my mind, I want this game. I'd forgotten how GORGEOUS Rayman Origins and Legends were!

@Jamotello Wwwwhhhhaaaatttt???? Nope, nevermind, I don't wanna know.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Breath of the Wild, MK8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 to the Test
Just so you guys know, with Amazon Prime you can get a 20% off preordering games, so $50 MK8 is a bit better deal... 😐

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Re: Gallery: New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Screenshots Look Pretty Fresh

Re: Zelda and Bokoblin Added to Breath of the Wild amiibo Range
I'm a sucker for the LoZ amiibo, and it's almost inevitable I will end up owning all of these, maybe...
Re: Video: These Five Titles Would Be Perfect on the Switch
@therealgamer Ha ha ha. Sounds like a (warp) pipe dream.
Re: Video: LEGO City: Undercover Re-Release Gets a Shiny New Trailer
@bluedogrulez Good to know. I might pick it up someday. After I finish all the other LEGO games I've some how accumulated. 😏
Re: Video: LEGO City: Undercover Re-Release Gets a Shiny New Trailer
@rjejr I haven't played this game yet, but it sounds like the open city part of Marvel Superheroes. Is that accurate?
Re: Tony Rosato Passes Away at Age 62
My condolences to his family. Once upon a time I enjoyed those cartoons, but now... there just super weird to even look at.
Re: Shovel Knight Is Coming To Nintendo Switch With Gender Swapping And Co-Op Modes
@faint Yeah, I just looked it up. This article is just confusingly worded.
Re: Shovel Knight Is Coming To Nintendo Switch With Gender Swapping And Co-Op Modes
I have physical copies of this game on 3ds and Wii U, do they get the free update, or is it just for the downloaded versions?
Re: Nintendo Switch and VR/AR developer Talks Up the 'Evolution' The System Will Bring
I don't really care for VR, I get nauseous easily. Holographic projections would be much more my style. 😎
Re: Talking Point: The Challenges and Opportunities of the Nintendo Switch Presentation
Wii U games shouldn't be that hard to port, most of the time the gamepad doesn't do anything. 3ds on the other hand...
Re: Nintendo Switch Accessories Outed By Finnish Retailer
If I buy a Switch, I'll need a carry case, and some kind of silicone case, but these don't look very well thought-out.
Re: Nikkei Reports a Nintendo Switch Price of 25,000 Yen, Prompting $250 Speculation
$250 sounds good, especially with PS4 and XBone bundles floating around that price for a few months now. Also take into account, do you really want to be traveling around with a $300+ console? I'd probably be too afraid of getting damaged or lost.

@samuelvictor Really? Stormtrooper, Rebel, or random alien backgrounder?
I need to know!
Re: Super Mario McDonald's UK Happy Meal Toys Revealed, Evidently Much to Mario's Relief
Awful looking toys. Do your kid a favor and buy them a nice World Of Nintendo figure, or maybe an amiibo.

You know what would be kind of cool but pointless? If you could play the game in Hylian.

Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
Personally, in all my Mario Kart playing years I've barely used battle mode at all, so 8's lack of didn't bother me much.

Legendary. Or, you know, something like that...
Re: Hype Builds as Nintendo Switch Advertisements Continue to Appear in Stores

Re: Nickelodeon Allegedly Creating Animated Film For A Nintendo Series
Best case scenario: a Legend of Zelda series in the styling of Avatar: Last Airbender. Worst case scenario: Michael Bay makes a Metroid film.
What I would actually love to see is a really weird Warioware/Wario Land cartoon that's just absolutely bonkers.
