While I would really like to have the internet browser at day for the Switch like when I feel like I have got my gaming fill for a bit and check Nintendo Life/Nintendoeverything, go to Youtube on the handheld Switch and watch some videos before going back to gaming again, as that would be my sort of habit :+).

course I am fine with there not being a internet browser specifically at launch as long as it comes out within the first year and hopefully E3.

I think the fact that the Switch not having at least a internet browser at launch might affect or confuse non-gaming people/mobile/tablet only gamers, as in that Nintendo losing sales potentially as the perception of the Switch as well has Nintendo.

Still, as long as Nintendo add a internet browser in not too long and hopefully before E3 this year if not before :+).

@KTT Sorry that I didn't reply earlier, but Nintendo Life logged me off not that much after I sent the comment to you from some reason ;^^.

Anyway, got to say a lot of good points there. A My Nintendo discount or a free buy if possible for the Nintendo Premium pack would be really nice yeah, but I am not sure if Nintendo will ever do that as the last months the rewards haven't been that good. (Beside the Zelda orchestra videos of course :+).).

Yeah, it is just digital colors, but at least as long as the service is up we have what we bought no matter what, unlike Badge Arcade where we might buy 5 moves and be really unlucky and get nothing for the real money we spent.

I don't think the ink limit bother me too much at the moment, but the message limit might get a bit annoying soon. (Around 120-130 now I think, though it does go up that fast).

Also new DLC for Swapdoodle came out today, and I will say those cuties didn't make me less wanting to buy something. So yeah, think about it and at least I get all the basic colors if I buy one of them ^^.

@KTT To me to is reverse psychology you could say, as in that I don't want to spend anything at all as I feel it is too greedy ;^^. (I have a hard time getting myself to pay in a free app as in pay to win app in general, which is saving me money I suppose).

Actually after checking, I see that I didn't realize a 100% before that by buying one of the lessons I also get all the basic colors, as I thought I had to pay for the premium packs to get the basic colors (Whoops ;^^. Not sure why I didn't realize it right away).

Anyway, considering the Wind Waker pack I suppose then, suppose Swapdoodle maybe getting my money then if I decide that it is worth it :+). (I just can't make myself pay in free to play games, but pay to unlock depends).

So yeah, I suppose the feature I miss the most now is a 1 pixel polishing brush as that would be really convenient as I like to polish my drawings, so hopefully ^^.

@KTT To make the service and more appealing to us potential consumers to say it that way, rather than limit us from basic colors and potentially turn us away.

I am fine with special colors costing money as well as the lessons like I said :+).

I just think charging for basic features as in the basic colors in this case is a bit too much ;^^. Still Swapdoodle is usable and I do use it now and then :+).

I wonder if Nintendo will remove that you have to pay in Swapdoodle in terms of getting all the basic colors, as that's what turned me me off.

I wouldn't mind just having to pay for the lessons, but having to pay to get basic colors beside black and red seems a bit too greedy to me ;^^.

So hopefully Nintendo improves Swapdoodle so we are more likely to use and really enjoy Swapdoodle :+).

I do think the Switch could possibly sell 100 million if the Switch becomes the next iPad and the public reception to the Switch is good, but probably a bit early to say right now.

Switch games getting played by big Youtubers or similar, as well as Nintendo adventuring the Switch well enough, 100 millions might be possible yeah.

@Siskan No problem Siskan and like I said I hope it goes well for you :+).

I see and understandable from Nintendo's side, but for now I guess we just have to hope for the best now.

I am thinking about writing a reply back to Nintendo still, but after either going a new PC or fixed the keyboard buttons. (Hopefully not too long to).

@Siskan I see :+(. You could maybe have been saved by deleting the comment, but it is fairly likely you would have gotten banned anyway.

I recommend you to contact Nintendo of America as they might be able to help you get unbanned and say that you didn't think or didn't know at first that you wasn't allowed to share that sort of information. I tried Nintendo of Europe for a similar case, but they couldn't help so I think the Miiverse headquarter in America.

So yeah, hope it goes well for you Siskan :+).

Here: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/contact

(Miiverse is under corporate questions).

@Siskan Not sure what you mean Siskan, but if you mean in terms of dual audio not being in BOTW I will figure out something :+).

@Siskan Yeah same here :+). I at least have to get a answer from Nintendo before I give up and actually... the petition is now at over 850 just in some hours and it really jumped the past hour 0.0. Some sort of news site has likely mentioned the petition I think.

I think I am probably not as fluent as you, but still not too bad and can discuss a lot in English. I do need to translate more uncommon words, but I do mostly fine I guess.

Yeah, the dubs usually sound weird unless the dubs are for movies as they usually do a good job, but to live action-shows on Disney Channel as such no thanks from me ;^^.

Seems so, or at least for the old man in the beginning, but I think it is likely that other NPCs likely have kana support too if the old man has it.

Also if you want to translate kanjis I recommend you if you have a iPad if not a iPhone that you turn on the Chinese kanji drawer keyboard to say, so you can write the stokes and get the translation in Google Translate at least if you do one word at a time :+). A method I have used a few times when I was more into Japanese ^^. (And are thinking about starting more seriously with Japanese again after all of this).

Nice, hope you get an answer soon Siskan :+). (Not yet a answer for my email, but thinking about resending in on Monday again like I said before).

Actually if you want we can continue to talk in private on Miiverse as I come to think of that we could discuss there and saw your Miiverse name to say in your profile :+). Already sent you a comment in case you are interested ^^.

Anyway, I am getting the Switch version as then I can take BOTW and other Switch games everywhere I want . As for multiplayer games not sure. Maybe Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but have the Wii U version so, but we will see.

So if you want to continue the discussion Miiverse is up to you Siskan :+). (You can access Miiverse from your PC, you just need to know the password for your account).

@Siskan Well, a bit early to say that yet ;^^.

Hi :+).
I am not sure if should say I am fluent in English, but I definitely know enough to make myself understood in discussions like this and such :+). I glad we have subtitles instead of dubs here on TV, feels a lot more natural.

With BOTW if you are going to play in Japanese the items descriptions wouldn't have Kana support is seems unfortunately, but luckily the NPC conversations has Kana support it seems so we can read what the kanjis sound like.

Thanks and you too ^^.

(We probably filled up the discussion enough here, but I will say that I really enjoy our discussions :+).).

@crudfish

Here is the URL to where you can send your email to Nintendo of America :+). (Not sure what tag I should really use, but used Miiverse as I can email and not having to call or chat).

http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/contact

@Siskan I see and would prefer to have voices as well, but we will see on if Nintendo add a dual audio or not as I would definitely choose dual audio if possible. Would technically be fine with just having sounds like in past Zelda gams, so hopefully we get that at least.

Nice, Scandinavian too :+). Pretty sure having subtitles for TV programs helped me and game text too of course. I think if you want to test your Japanese, you could always set on one of the Japanese Nintendo Directs and see how it goes .

Okey :+). Wish you the best of luck on the emails Siskan ^^.

@Siskan Yeah that too. I think the petition at least has to hit 1000 or 2000 for the media to really care, probably more closer to 5000 depending on how well the petition do. In any case, it is probably more efficient to email Nintendo I think, but we will see.

I think I should be fine if there are a option to have no voice acting at all beside sounds, but might do the same or just turn off the volume even though not exactly what I want to do ;^^. Yeah, there are a fair chance that when we start the game we have to commit to one language.

I can't help it really ;^^. I think one advantage I have is that as a Norwegian I am used to reading subtitles when non-Norwegian speakers are on TV, but it is really just to pay attention to what they say and read the subtitles even if I wasn't really conscious of trying to learn Japanese. (Wouldn't say Anime Japanese is real Japanese though, and don't really watch that much anime at the moment).

Anyway, I think you should try to email Nintendo, or either chat or call depending on what you prefer :+). I am going to try to send my email again one more time on Monday in case it being weekend make it harder to get replied.

@Siskan Yup.

I think maybe Nintendo Life want to wait on the Zelda petition news, probably maybe also to space our their news if they are thinking about that. I think Nintendo everything might be a good place to send in the news :+).

Well, I do know there is the option to if possible to change back and forth between English and Japanese when you know when the cutscenes are, though you probably have to stop the game and start from your last saving point and then go to the area you know where the cutscene starts. Impractical, but maybe possible if the language doesn't have to be 100% set from when you start up.

I learned some Japanese unintentional due to my subconscious picking up words while I were watching and reading subs, but not really into Japanese as much as before. Still I can't complain about being able to understanding a bit of what they say in Japanese Nintendo Directs and such ^^.

Actually, I think it is fairly likely that I will get a reply back as I got a reply on something else, so yeah pretty sure I will get a reply .

http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/contact
Here is the weblink if you are interested and I used the Miiverse tab, which is under corporate questions and used it because I can email Nintendo from there :+). (Wasn't sure which of them I should use).

@Wendigo Well, like I mentioned before I thinking about sending a email to Nintendo and hear what they think or at least hopefully get some kind of answer.

Either way, we will see how it goes I suppose :+).

@Siskan I see and will say, I don't think it will happen to that big of a extent, but do think at least 1000 or 2000 should be possible, already over 550 so.

Well, the best we fans can do it is to mention it in the comment sections, or write to video game news sites as news tips.

In any case, I will be sending an email to Nintendo and if you want I can sent what I got back to you Siskan :+).

@Siskan Thanks :+).

Hope the petition goes well, already over 500(518 now when writing) now and with the help of social media it should be possible if the petition gets as well organized or recognized as Operation Rainfall.

While I do think 50 000 might be a bit unlikely, 5 000 or 10 000 shouldn't be too unlikely if the petition gets spread enough. Will be interesting to see how this goes.

To those who say that petitions doesn't work, I want to mention Operation Rainfall a petition to bring Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower to America .

Operation Rainfall got over 50 000 signatures, and look where we are now :+).

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is coming and all of those games came to America, so I do think a petition like this is possible, but it will be interesting to see how many people are willing to sign the petition about BOTW getting the option for Japanese with English subs as in if it will be enough.

I am not going to sign the petition myself as I don't really want to share my personal information, but I am thinking about writing to Nintendo and ask them about the possibility for patching in the option to have Japanese with English subtitles.

Hopefully Nintendo listen and add Japanese with English subtitles in the end, as I want all of us to have the best time as possible playing BOTW :+).

@Miss_Dark Fair enough :+).

I am buying the Switch at launch just because of BOTW as I really like Zelda games ^^. (And not really wanting to get too spoiled).

I would be waiting if it wasn't for BOTW I think, but due to BOTW I need the Switch at launch.

Anyway, hope you enjoy Fire Emblem Echoes Miss_Dark and that you will have a ton of fun playing other games too :+).

@fluggy Miiverse Isn't really kind of thing as in interrupting game sessions and such aren't really what Miiverse is designed for, as well as that game usually have an option to not include Miiverse posts.

It is true that lately or at least in the Zelda community that it has more and more become a playground for kids to say than actually good discussions unfortunately, but still there are a lot of good discussions there as well even if they are rarer than before.

I wouldn't say Miiverse is prefect by any means and it does really need a overhaul, but it is possible to find a good place there and get good friends :+). (If you prefer playing games then I think I will not advice you to check Miiverse as in that you have more time to play games).

Just wanted to let you know if that's okey ^^.

While I am going to sign the petition, I will say that I do really enjoy Miiverse from the safe space I have created for myself and made a lot of good friends :+).

On Miiverse I have been sharing news which a lot of other people have appreciated and thanked me for, and some of my Miiverse friends are on Miiverse because of me as I create news and discussion posts that everyone can enjoy, so I don't really think Miiverse need to excluded from being a implemented feature on the Switch, but definitely improved up on a lot.

Either way, I am mostly PC Miiverse anyway and the Switch will have access to Miiverse from its internet browser, so not really that big of a deal I think. The only thing is that we can't post screenshots or draw on the internet browse version of the Switch, but I think it okey enough.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo release a new social network or not, or decides to implement a updated version of Miiverse on the Switch ^^.

@ThomasBW84 http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-uk-cuts-price-for-mario-kart-8-deluxe-other-switch-games/

Is this what you are referring to kind of as in what you want even if the Switch itself isn't discounted? In any case, glad to see that more people will be able to buy a Switch and its games more easily :+).

@Miss_Dark Trøndersk maybe, my own dialect, but no I think I prefer Japanese or just subtitles with no voice acting than Norwegian ;^^.

Technically Norway has a lot of similar basic sounding sounds, like a, e, i, o, u and such are similar, but Norwegian sounding more monotone or at least to me ;^^. (Depend a bit on the dialect though).

Either way, looking forward to BOTW and I hope you have a fun time playing BOTW too Miss_Dark :+).

I am surprised there are this much of Japanese VS English voice acting debate, but a bit understandable from various different reasons I suppose.

I personally prefer Japanese or Hylian if Hylian was included, and English isn't my first language so I usually use the original language if I can depending on if I am used to the dub or not already or that the dub sounds better.

I will say I am usually fine with English dubs in games, just that for Japanese like games it is nice having Japanese as a option for me :+). No matter what voice acting version of BOTW you like, I hope you all have a fun time playing BOTW ^^.

@Miss_Dark As a Norwegian I am not sure if I want a Norwegian Zelda as the dubs at least for kids shows aren't usually that optimal, even though the movie dubbing is okey I still think I pass ;^^. (Search up "Norsk Zelda" on Youtube if you are interested as there are a few things there).

I think I stick with Japanese as the voice sound more authentic probably as Zelda voice actors are usually Japanese, but wouldn't mind an option for spoken Hylian :+).

Coming to think of it, in terms of Splatoon especially I am not sure if voice chat works that well on teaming up with random players if they don't separate the regions, as a lot of the players you team up with in Splatoon are Japanese and not all of them might know English and other barriers like that might affect Nintendo's voice chat experience I think.

I think voice chat most likely are just going to be in private match for Splatoon 2, but it will be interesting to see how Nintendo solves the potential language problem if there's voice chat in random matches and other gams beside Splatoon.

As for the paid service I am suppose I am fine with it as long as it feels fair and give us enough reason to continue to pay :+).

For those who are interested in/curious about framerates, maybe this video can give a quick overview and it is probably worth watching just for fun too :+).

I think the thing about Miiverse is that you yourself has to be the one who make your own experience with Miiverse good, as in that you yourself have to create good/interesting posts and you will likely get comments from others.

I have made my own Miiverse experience good, but I do recognize that Miiverse do need some fixing to get optimal and not just being useable and working.

So hopefully we will get an official announcement on what Switch social features will be like soon :+).

@arnoldlayne83 Headphone jack is confirmed for the Switch luckily so you don't have to worry :+).

Hopefully it means as well that there will be a option to have voice chat directly from the Switch as well if you have a headphone and mic at the same time kind of headset.

As a person who use Miiverse fairly regularly to have good discussions about news and topics, I can't help but feel a bit sad if there aren't any replacement for Miiverse that aren't Facebook or Twitter as I am not really too keen on those.

Sharing news to on Miiverse and then discuss the new are things I really enjoy, so hopefully there are a way I can still chat with people I have gotten to know.

In any case as long as Miiverse continue to exist I don't really care that much if Miiverse aren't on the Switch, as I use PC Miiverse anyway as it is easier to type there :+).

Wouldn't be surprised if Miiverse becomes an app for our phones.

As a European I suppose I am not too happy if the rumor turn out to be true, but I will just try to get the American version if I have to, if the Switch is region free of course so that that big of a deal for me suppose.

I do wonder though if it would be possible to just release the English version first in Europe and then update as the localization finishes for each language, like mentioned in the article.

Either way, Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 comes out on the 31 March in Europe, so I have something to play if I want I guess ^^.

@hieveryone Yeah, having a demo or a lite version would probably be better considering how the casual market reacted and got confused by that they had to pay to unlock all the content at once for a mobile game when it seems maybe completely free at first.

If anything Nintendo should make sure to add that it is a free trial at first and not the whole game at first, so the more casual users are aware :+).

@kenrulei I really like Super Mario Run and especially Toad Rally and I am the kind of person who is used to paying for app games one time to unlock the full game, so didn't mind spending something on Super Mario Run :+).

So yeah, enjoyable game ^^.

Still I do hope the Kingdom Builder get a mode like Kairosoft games, even though not that likely maybe unless Nintendo decide that they need to add a lot.

I think one of the best ideas would be to make sure that when the app are downloaded that the free courses 3 are a free trial/test kind of thing and that in order to get the full experience you have to pay something, but I do agree that it would be nice if there was more depth to the Kingdom Builder. (Making the Kingdom Builder have a Kairosoft game like mode wouldn't be a bad thing I think).

And having the World Tour be internet free or at least some sort of mode that's doesn't require internet :+).

Also of course, congrats Nintendo with all ready getting around 40 million downloads in just 4 days ^^.

Super Mario Run out in Norway now and hopefully elsewhere too ^^.

Edit: Seems like I can't login with my NNiD at the moment, maybe I have to wait until Apple Store updates itself first.

@AxxLex Actually, if you go to Nintendo's European Twitter site it actually says that the Switch event will be streamed at 5AM CET as CET is GMT+1.

Just wanted to let you know in case you were interested and hope this help you :+).

"One or some of the Nintendo Life staff"@ I wonder if it is okey if I ask, do you think the Switch event will be raw, subbed, dubbed or translated as it is live? I think I remember that the DeNa stream with Nintendo had dub or at least some Nintendo related stream, so I am wondering what you think about the Switch event in January.

I think either raw or dubbed, or that they talk/translate English from the event most likely, but if it is only raw as in just Japanese how much do you at Nintendo Life think it will affect you or at least the first minutes after the reveal of something?

Anyway, hope the event covering goes well for you live and that it will be fun covering :+).

To get up at 5AM or not..., still I have a feeling that this event will primarily be for investors as they have organized their own event place, so I can probably just as well sleep.

I do think there will of course be trailers during the stream, but I don't really think the stream will be a Nintendo Direct level of fun/excitement.

Another thing to consider is that the event might be raw as in unsubbed, which means that people who know Japanese will understand the live stream. Still we do have Nintendo Life to translate the news maybe and then post about it for us to see :+).

So probably going to have a fun morning ^^.

@Azooooz I have a internet plan and use my 4G to look at things on the internet, but for games I rather have offline so I don't eat up my internet plan too much as I do that enough already ;^^.

I will just continue to play my Kairosoft games for my offline mobile gaming like usually :+). (Will likely try out Super Mario Run on my iPad at home though).

@Sakuraichu There are other NSLU communities, so the NSLU people moved over to them.

I am not a part of the NSLU community personally, but I am glad for the people who like that sort of posting :+).

@BaffleBlend I agree, but I am not really surprised by that Nintendo Life haven't reported on the Hacker thing on Miiverse as Nintendo Life doesn't really report on Miiverse beside major updates or similar.

Still whether or not Nintendo Life should report on the hacking on Miiverse yesterday I am unsure about though.

Still as a person who fairly regularly check the Zelda community I did see a fair amount of people from NSLUC come to the Zelda community while it was a question where they were going to move to ;^^.

Luckily, it seems like things are mostly back to normal now for the most part :+).

I suppose it is a good thing that Nintendo are reaching out to hackers to improve their 3DS, and it isn't a bad deal for the hackers either :+).

Also speaking of hacking, there has actually been hacking on Miiverse lately it seems and the hackers are causing trouble unfortunately.

I hope the hacking on Miiverse doesn't result in Nintendo shutting down Miiverse and that Miiverse stays, but I don't think the hacking incidents will make Nintendo less cautious on Miiverse in terms of rules.

Either way I the good hacker group can help Nintendo with the 3DS ^^.

While this might be the most exciting way for Amiibos to be used, I sure can't complain too much about OOT Link giving me meat as I was thinking about being a bit of a pacifist in BOTW and were thinking about getting OOT before this anyway ^^.

So yeah, can't complain too much I suppose :+).

@Nin10doh Thought about the same thing or at least for some of the battle segments where Link's attack/movement animation aren't as fast as usually, like as an example used in the Extra Frames video Toon Link basic attack in Smash is nearly immediately while Monster Hunters attacks depnding on the weapon are a lot slower.

I don't mind having slower attacks if that means we have to be more tactical, but of course actual frame rate dips should be fixed for the most part before the release, though it isn't the worlds end if BOTW ends up having really small barely noticeable frame rate dips here and there :+).

Also might as well put this out here ^^.

Not sure why people mention frame rate dips so much, but thought I could put this out there, as everything might not be frame rate dips and instead anticipation.

Either way, looking forward to BOTW ^^.

(The Monster Hunter part begins at about 3.36).

Here in Norway Pokémon has been on Disney XD for a while, so I am not too surprised.

I can't say I am too keen on the new Pokémon anime's look and especially Ash's design really feels weird to me, so I might not watch the Sun and Moon anime just from a aesthetic perspective which I think is a bit sad as it shouldn't have been a too hard thing to avoid from an animator perspective I hope ;^^.

In any case, I hope the people who like the artstyle will enjoy the Sun and Moon anime and it will be a good season in terms of comedy and a adventuring :+).

Really hope something like this comes to Europe too as to me it sounds really exciting/interesting ^^.

Really want to experience a Zelda Puzzle Break/Escape Room if possible :+).

I am a either a person who likes to play their games in my lap or on the go for the most part, but for BOTW I will probably try to play on the TV when it isn't occupied.

Still for me the portable aspect of the Switch is amazing for me as a person who likes RPGs and have to do a lot of grinding, grinding will be such a lot easier on the go/portable ^^. (Can take the Switch to school or work and play when they have extra time).

So I am pretty sure people will like the portable aspect :+).

I don't think having Fifa or Need for Speed to get more casual gamers, even if I am not that interested in those kind of games myself I do hope people who like those sort of games will enjoy them ^^.

Well if Breath of the Wild needs more work and wouldn't come out in March, then it likely means that I don't need to stress about purchasing a Switch when it launch and can rather get my family to buy a Switch for my birthday in May if I am lucky.

I wonder if Breath of the Wild is going to support Chinese and Koran like Pokémon Sun and Moon if that's why there might be localization problems, or if it is just a lot to localize for all the PAL languages in Europe. (There should be at least 6-8 PAL languages I think).

Either way, time flies anyway so I know I will get Breath of the Wild sooner or later in the future :+).
