@BornInNorway81 #131 My thoughts exactly. It's in no way established that "@Nibellion" is a trustworthy tweeter.

Is this some kind of weird viral marketing or just the fan base desperately going mad for news?

It's only a matter of time. Of course there's a Direct incoming this month, or the beginning of February at the latest. Not this week though, apparently.

@the8thark Now that I've gotten used to the game's flow, I find that I like it more the more I play it! It's a nice game with the classic Rare feel. Some things might use a bit more polish but oh well. I'm not too far into the game yet though.

@Jon_Mundy Wasn't there supposed to be single Joy-Con co-op with gyro aiming?

How cute!

Does it make it more comfortable to use with the Joy-Con tilted like that?

I've played it for a couple of hours now.
It feels fine, and it seems like I'll be enjoying playing it through to the end, if not 100% completing it.

But you can definitely tell what's "wrong" with it from the get go.
The lack of basic 3D platformer moves like wall jumping and the ability grab ledges is weirding me out big time. Then there's the unlockable moves without which you can't do many things! I hated that even a basic move like ground pound has to be earned. Then there are puzzles littered everywhere that require a certain move and it doesn't even hint which one. Sometimes it's gracious enough to inform you that you don't have the necessary one yet, but other times you have to figure that out for yourself, and get frustrated in the process. And no hint on what level to purchase them.

@King_Johobo Thanks! Too bad I wasn't totally right.
The teaser from From Software was most likely for Bloodborne 2 for PlayStation 4. And it's way too early for BGAE2 gameplay! Apparently it's not even in alpha yet. Too bad there was still no Retro Studios, but Bayo 3 is cool news! Let's hope for some Retro in the January Direct...

@Dom Is the resolution that low??!
At least the screenshots in this review are super fuzzy 712x368!

Nintendo is sure to rake up some trophies! It's been a great year.

My optimistic hopes for the premieres are:
Some cool third party multiplatform stuff also coming to Switch (maybe even From Software); An extended look into Death Stranding; Gameplay of Beyond Good And Evil 2; Something from Nintendo for 2018 (maybe even from Retro Studios! Or that Metroid Prime 4); The BotW DLC trailer.

@BensonUii @Hughesy @gcunit
That's why they'll investigate before refunding, to try and find out at which point the package was possibly tampered. You'd think the postal/courier service would keep the package safe at all phases.

@Savino That's a relief! You'd want it to stay firmly on your hands when turning. Unless you're the driver.

@Haywired By disabling them? I kid.

I get you! I was constantly feeling disappointed how limited the movement in other games felt after getting to climb anything, fly with the paraglider and shield surf anywhere in Zelda!

But other games, like Xenoblade 2, have other great qualities and gameplay mechanics that Zelda has no idea of having. For example X2 has an amazing story and deep RPG mechanics.
I've been playing Skyrim, and how ever clumsy it feels, there's just so much content in it that I could get lost for hours in that game.

Not to talk about completely different genres. Splatoon and Mario Odyssey offer completely different challenges and stimulation compared to BotW.

I do admire books - from afar. So films for me!

Saving Skyrim takes up all of my game time. Gotta whack some sense into those traitorous Stormcloaks.
Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!

@thewoosp #167
I was thinking it might be a bit smaller if they use lower res textures on Switch. But yeah, they'll probable use the same texture files and just load lower res versions in the memory when needed.

@thewoosp #24 @Mintendo #61
The download size on Xbox One is 5.27 GB, so I'd guess it's in the same ballpark or smaller on Switch.

@Onion_Knight #18 @BlackenedHalo #27 #33
The later Mario RPG's have been pretty great, but an actually Square-Enix made RPG with a multi-character party and original characters would be fantastic!

@KryptoKrunch #32 @abe_hikura #47
While Hitman dev IO Interactive has left Square Enix, the Square Enix Holdings still seems to have publishing rights to a whole bunch of games like Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Thief, Nier and Life Is Strange. I hope we'll see some of those franchises.

I'm highly tempted to get it... It's been years since I last played Skyrim and I never got the expansion packs. Still that 60€.... feels a bit steep.

@rjejr #83 Unfortunately you're most likely right that the $199 box would drop the dock, and even the power adapter in some areas of the world. But by ramping up the numbers they will be able to make the production itself cheaper and they might be able to pinch another $50 off the regular package making it $250 in the US.

This is crazy yo! It could be just PR talk to hype up the product. I bet Nintendo isn't officially going to say anything about it until after the Holiday markets have come and gone.

@Roarsome #4 I agree. This better result in price drops! I hope accessory prices drop too. The Pro Controller and Joy-Con prices are still ridiculous.

@dystome #11 Good point! Good availability won't do them any bad, provided that all the bundles are desirable. @Jimgamer8 #10 The Neon Joy-Con bundle is a good example of something that should be more of a niche version than a shelf filler.

@dew12333 #31 The article is written like the info is coming straight from Nintendo. But you're right, this is not an official statement by Nintendo or its boss Kimishima.

@yeayeanaynay Yeah, there won't be any more DLC for BotW after this, methinks.

My goodness what's going on in here! blushes

@Rumncoke25 DS compilation ain't gonna happen, if only because they can't fit all of them on a single game card.

@yuwarite I'd buy it! And the Japanese very likely might too.

@teamshortcut A game like Odyssey tends to leave a hunger for similar experiences, so people just might take the plunge to try a lesser known title to satiate it.

If only the console had a bigger internal memory ~
But yeah, 500 GB of flash or M.2 SSD would be very expensive.
Maybe the microSD card solution is the most logical at this point...
Aside, you know, from the game cards actually containing the whole game.

Nice! It's great that it's not just from the plateau to Ganon. A race of BotW could be cool too some time!

Woop! There's also a Super Mario 3D World run! That will be good.

The truth is, all of the Mario platformers are still highly playable!

I fully anticipated World to take the 2D crown and SMB. 3 to be second place. I think the first SMB. should have the third place simply because of the purity of its platforming experience.

I'm pretty surprised with the 3D results! I thought the first Galaxy should be even higher rated, since it's so well made, offering a masterful blend of freedom of movement and tight focused platforming. Also 3D World should be more appreciated. It really is a mighty great package of platforming bliss.

Granted, everyone is still excited about Odyssey so I can understand why it's so highly voted (and I haven't played Odyssey too much yet, so I can't say if it really is that great or not).

The new game will be a city builder and business management sim called New Donk Sim City.

The main complaint about Odyssey seems to be the difficulty. I just played 46 stars worth of Super Mario 64. It's not the most difficult game either, and most stars are super fast to get. They're clearly trying to go for a similar feel ~

3D World and even the Galaxy games might offer tighter platforming action compared to 64 and Odyssey, thanks to their more linear structure, but it's refreshing to have another open-ended game where you can just rummage around and do stuff at your own pace.

@datamonkey @BlackenedHalo
Big budget "console" Zelda's usually take a long time, but then there's smaller scale iterations on handhelds. Now that the 3DS is winding down fast, I wouldn't be surprised if the waiting-period "small" Zelda was released on Switch as well.

@evilnatt Just do some rewiring (or buy an USB-adapter) and try!

@BlackenedHalo I would say that's a definite yes, barring there's no significant events that delay development.
They might even use the same (tweaked) engine from BotW, and that'll be sure to hasten the cycle. At least they will do another "open air" iteration.

It's weird to have these regional videos! Aonuma is a good sport!

Either the programmers who worked on the update knew, and it was a surprise only to the management, or it was unintentional byproduct of allowing other D-Input controllers to work as well!

Does anyone have old pre-xbox PC-controllers laying around to try?

@Nincompoop Now that's just tasteless and unfair to Mario!

@Paperboy @TommyTLG Phew! You guys scared me to death!!

@RadioHedgeFund 10. "It would be cool if it hooked into the weather app to localise the weather in-game."

Great idea!

@Aozz101x Sadly, you might be right on the... money.

Nitpicking here, and I get that this is just early teaser footage, but the animation looks terrible in the segment between 00:13 and 00:25! Why don't they use motion capture or something... I guess it's a question of budget?

Pretty cool! But that was the worst commercial ever...

This might actually work very well on mobile, provided that they won't succumb into the micro payment pit.

If only it had four controller ports!! The NES version had them, so why doesn't this one too?

Yes, about time! I'm definitely going to buy one at some point, or at least the next version of this.

@thesilverbrick Tell me about it!

@StuTwo I guess technically yes.

Nintendo should follow suite! This looks great and the built-in LAN is a no-brainer!

I had two pre-orders made way early in separate stores.
GameStop came through but there has been no word from the other local store, which is a large electronics retailer chain.

Nah, he's just doubling down on his brilliant joke about FF XV coming to that console which sounds like "twitch".

The jester!

A shame about losing the editor. Otherwise breaking up the online stuff to a separate download makes sense. It's requires internet anyways. The problem of course is the woefully small amount of internal memory in the Switch.

I really hope they don't charge the full $60 or $70 for the game. $40 would be awesome. Skyrim shouldn't be higher than that either. Wolfenstein I can see going for as high as $70.

@JamesR Aha! That makes a lot more sense. The 5 GB is possibly a suggestion, but it actually only uses what it needs.

But WOW! Odyssey is 3.35 times bigger than 3D World! It's gonna be HUUUGE!!

Seriously though, what even bloats the NBA 2K18 save files so astronomically??
