@leo13 yep, I thought the lack of story, epic music, bad voice acting, repetitive shrines, lack of complex dungeons, empty overworld, and weapon durability all combined to make a very disappointing Zelda title.
@carlos82 thanks for pointing that out. It cleaned up some cable mess and stops the switching for the pro controller etc. learn something new everyday.
if Nintendo is insistent on going this route for Zelda, then they better fix some of the poor mechanics and design choices. Weapon durability as implemented in BotW is terrible. If you are going to add a mechanic like that make sure you offer players a way to fix weapons. Also add meaningful stats to weapons so people know how fragile something is. The lack of story, big dungeons, epic music, and fairly lifeless overworld was a letdown.
I broke down and got a Switch because Mario Odyssey, the lack of Bluetooth headset support was my biggest reservation though. Glad they finally fixed that. I just tried it with my headset and it works like a charm.
@flapjack-ashley there was something special about getting that paper ticket and waiting for the game to be hand delivered. Of course most times, it took forever for someone to open the lockup.
The game lineup is not stellar and the lack of Bluetooth head set support when docked is baffling. In all seriousness for people who owned Wii U there isn't a compelling reason to get a Switch yet. Mario Odyssey does look great though.

People at grasping at straws with that comment.
Re: Anniversary: It's Been 10 Years Since Super Mario Galaxy Landed On The Wii

Re: Anniversary: It's Been 10 Years Since Super Mario Galaxy Landed On The Wii
I would love Galaxy 1 & 2 HD on Switch.
Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For November And December
@readyletsgo yeah, the price of those two games are going to be an issue for sure.
Re: Video: Get Snazzy with Our Top 10 Super Mario Odyssey Costumes

Re: Guide: Super Mario Odyssey amiibo Outfit Unlocks
The Boweser wedding amiibo is a pretty cool figure, it is very detailed and has some heft to it.
@kayfios the waluigi outfit is unlocked pretty easily in-game if you are wondering.

Re: These Are The Nintendo Switch's Million-Selling Games
@Phle you’re not alone, I felt that BotW was very disappointing too.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@Yasaal FE is great, it transitioned very well to Dynasty format.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Halloween Edition
@Ryu_Niiyama same here. FE Warriors is a lot of fun and Odyssey is ,of course, amazing.
Re: Delight Your Friends By Sending Them 8-Bit Super Mario iMessages
@rjejr congrats on getting one. It does have its quirks for sure! Lol
Re: Delight Your Friends By Sending Them 8-Bit Super Mario iMessages
@DarthFoxMcCloud @rjejr yeah, that would have been a great idea. Nintendo’s marketing and rewards people don’t seem very creative.
Re: Delight Your Friends By Sending Them 8-Bit Super Mario iMessages
Those are cool, but too bad they are charging though. Uncharted Lost Legacy had free iMessage stickers which are pretty nice.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@rjejr yeah, I got a serious Galaxy vibe from Odyssey as well. It is so good.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
Arbitrary review scores aside, Odyssey is great and I am enjoying it immensely.

@carlos82 lol, I never noticed. I always thought there was just the one under the door. Oops
Re: Pimp Out Your Super Mario Odyssey Experience With This Light-Up Switch Dock Shield
I don’t like that it uses the USB port since I have my wireless headset connected there.
Re: Yoshiaki Koizumi Says Non-Traditional Nintendo IPs Are Bound For Switch Next Year
A Kid Icarus game of some sort would be cool

So hyped, I’m even going to the midnight launch on Thursday to get it and I have never done that for any game. Ever.
Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS
That is a shame. So many games looked fantastic in 3D.
Re: Video: So, Just How Red are the Super Mario Odyssey Joy-Con Controllers?
It would have been neat if the there was a Mario face or something on the joycons instead of just being red.
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch is Modernising, But Has a Long Way to Go
@cbeezly82 good to know, I’m so excited to play it.
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch is Modernising, But Has a Long Way to Go

Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch is Modernising, But Has a Long Way to Go
I’m glad I can use my wireless headset now. Just need VC games now.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem Warriors (New 3DS)

I’ll believe it when it is officially announced.
Re: Sony Doesn't Consider Handheld Gaming To Be A "Huge Market Opportunity"
There is truth in what Sony is saying. The money is in the mobile space even though I still hate the “free to play” model.
Re: Toys 'R' Us Seeks Bankruptcy Protection in North America
@flapjack-ashley there was something special about getting that paper ticket and waiting for the game to be hand delivered. Of course most times, it took forever for someone to open the lockup.
Re: Toys 'R' Us Seeks Bankruptcy Protection in North America
Toys r us was a magical place as a kid. I'm not surprised though, the one near me closed a year or so ago.
Re: Retail Version of DOOM on Switch Will Need a Download for Online Multiplayer
So is this going to $60 USD while you can get it for $20 on every other platform?
Re: Review: Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE yeah, NL is certainly the outlier most times score wise.

Re: This Replacement Shell For The Switch Is Clearly The Best
I like it in theory, but it seems like it would be distracting.
Re: Pelda Pro Switch Case Aims To Make Your Dock Redundant
That goal seems unreasonable (too low) to get an electronics product into mass production
Re: SNES Classic Edition Won't Be Sold In Canadian Province Of Quebec
Sacre bleu!
Re: Editorial: Is This a Golden Era of Gaming? Absolutely
Not sure about a "golden age", but 2017 has seen some wonderful games. It is one of the most prolific years in quite some time.

@NImH I am not a fan of minecraft, but really liked Builders.
Re: Dragon Quest Builders 2 Confirmed for Nintendo Switch
The first one was great and DQB is a good fit for Switch.
Re: Take-Two "Very Optimistic" About Switch, Expects Sales To "Continue To Be Great"
@Oscarzxn I doubt it, they are more concerned about the GTA Online portion of game now.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy and Majora's Mask Included in Latest European My Nintendo Rewards
Nintendo clearly does not understand its fans and just insults them with stuff like this.
Re: Virtuos Is Working on Porting a AAA Game to the Switch
Return to Arkham is 47gb on PS4, if they are porting that to Switch I hope everyone has enough storage.
Re: Editorial: The Switch eShop Library is Starting to Look Like the Real Deal
