@ryobi85 dude, just set aside a long weekend, and go all in, just to get started. With some big early momentum, you can push through to the end!

Not sure why people are complaining about the cost of Link's Awakening when you see the cost of this & time to complete.

@imgrowinglegs Yes...Amazon bought Twitch, so if you have Amazon Prime, you also have Twitch Prime, you just have to set up an account.

@BillyB you gotta set up 2FA

I lol'ed when I read that Luigi's Mansion's short length (back then viewed as a negative) would today be viewed as a positive! Amazing how times change...

@Woomy_NNYes Well...it's also available on Fleabay now!

Does the Switch game come with any of the lore books, soundtrack, or making of stuff? On GOG, for the same price, you also get all the extra stuff.

@Jeaz You should check out the Twitch offer again, it expires September 24th:

@Silly_G IKR? Absolutely silly looking in some aspects, but dammit, it's a Day 1 purchase for me! I love all Ninty's quirky exercise stuff...

@Spoony_Tech Wind Waker was great! And I loved the music!

This is what happens when a huge & sucky corporation takes over and becomes a monopoly. It is a lot like book stores & Amazon.

Remember the old game stores? Remember the old mom & pop stores? Maybe some will come back, kind of like some book stores are coming back, post-Amazon.

@oji GOG.com is awesome! I don't buy anywhere else, on-line. Everything else is still physical for me.

@gloom @stuie1234 Fur Fighters was my favorite, too!

In a fit of nostalgia, I recently got it for the PC and play it on my Win7 machine. What a classic...sadly overlooked, in my opinion.

@AlphaElite that totally drives me bonkers!

@YessMasster Agreed! The Switch resolution is too low, and the frame rates are also too low, unfortunately, for me to consider this new device.

Switch VR is a cool idea, and I'm glad I tried it, but, not until the next generation device for me!

If you have a PC, you should really play the BGR mod for NWN2 --> "Baldur's Gate Reloaded" a fan mod of Baldur's Gate made for the NWN2 game engine, so 3D Baldur's Gate!

Or check out YouTube videos

Correction --> The Circle Pad Pro will **NOT** work on just any games, it is only supported by about 20 or so games (I got it specifically to play with my old 3DS and Kid Icarus and Metal Gear Solid).

See:

@ParasolStars Parasol Stars is one of my old favorite games!

I am so looking forward to this! The Switch version looks better than the game I played on my PC, with a wimpy (but decent in the day) GTX 660. I never was a big fan of the keyboard controls, I'm hoping the Switch controls are better!

I live in NA, so, I'll just wait for the scalpers to list this stuff on fleaBay

@Tandy255 Even then, the giant egg would have to almost literally fall on me in order for me to get the hint...lol

I'm amazed that many people stuck around a dev studio that long! I'm a little more optimistic now for M4!

didn't realize Pillars of Eternity was coming to Switch. I might have to check it out now...

@JHDK The low resolution of the game was a slight disappointment to me. But the gameplay experience was really cool, I thought it was worth it for that.

@Heavyarms55 FYI, I read the Witcher books & they are really good, so if you want to do those instead (books & game really are not related) you can always give them a go!

I tell you what, the Luge mini-game was the bomb, and really tore my abs apart!

@StevenG Nope, just 'Muricans! King of the Hill-types, I suppose...

Meh, I would have rather have played the game than wait 30 years and get 9000...really. You only live once!

@Heavyarms55 It's a great story based RPG, where your decisions have consequences. It is kinda like Skyrim, but with much better characters, and more plot driven. Not everybody's cup of tea, but it deserves a lot of the accolades that have been heaped on it.

I'm curious to see how they work the controls...the PC version used a lot of the keyboard...

Yes! At least I can sleep soundly, knowing that the Switch won't be sullied by the crap that EA produces!

Are there any Tsum Tsum games that aren't using Disney characters? This style is very cute, I like it!

@Cartune Ghost of a Tale is **awesome**.

I highly recommend it to anybody, check it out on GOG or Steam!

No worries! I'm sure it will be available on ebay .... [cries]

@KIRO I'm with you man, based on how long it has taken me to get through the GBC game, 60-90 hours minimum!

Somebody once said that Nintendo doesn't really make video games, they make toys. And each video game is its own unique toy. This one is worth every penny!

@Zelda1433 Yes, I watched that, and while fascinating in its own right, thought that I would be much happier just running around and exploring.

Very cool to hear...now somebody go get her a Switch & BotW (and a strategy guide, lol).

@Hughesy My condolences about your mum, that must be hard to have lost her so young.

@Nintendofan83 I'd like to see Nintendo keep making a cheap "gateway" portable for about $70, to keep addicting the next generation with quality games, but, I'm not sure that is their plan.

@AhabSpampurse 4 irl?

F

Well, I can see why they did away with the 3DS.

VR has been the "next thing" for about 5 years now. At some point, it will have to deliver on its promises & hype, or just step aside for another gen.

AR seems to be where things really are right now, and Nintendo seems to have a good bead on that.

This is awesome!

Not to hijack this, but did you hear about the Kotaku guy ripping off somebody else's level? Don't click on the guys link in this article, just check it out:

I want that wallpaper!

@Jtoomer Fascinating video, thanks for the link!

@ZeldaNX My experience has been that when there are 3 gaming companies (or more) and the top one is way in the lead, the others are more willing to cooperate with each other, to try to narrow the lead.

The real news is, Dampe's back!

@Fighter_Hayabusa Me too, except I'm going to continue to play the THREE 3DS's I have until they kick the bucket...

I would not recommend something "cheap" if the quality is bad. If you lose your games & saves, how is that saving money?

Always buy memory from a name you can trust. I had a cheaper SD card go bad and almost lost all my vacation photos one time (to Angkor Wat!). Thankfully, I was able to recover them, but the card was definitely wonky. I've only bought SanDisk ever since.

Damn, the game looks like fun...and I still have to wait

@JasonLee99 "You sure this wasn't lifted from Yahoo News?"
OUCH! Burn! lol!

Oh no, the release date can't come soon enough! I see underground dungeons and undead creatures, this is going to be awesome!
