Brilliant! I initially thought this was just a click bait filler article whilst the BoTw review was being put through its final edits!
But wow, seriously Nintendo, mad props for this. With my 1st child right around the corner, this just put a smile on my face.
Admittedly I have no intentions of leaving Switch cards lying around, but still good to know!
@Ootfan98 got a confirmation for amiibo and the colour Joy Con grips I ordered, but no Switch or Zelda yet!!! Should have gone with GAME ๐๐๐๐
@LukeNI bygones! My personal opinion of my own experiences with GAME wasn't reflective of your family member. Apologies for any offence I may have caused you or your own. Anyway, it's almost Switchmas, a time of coming together and celebrating!
Just got back from a Switch event in London , and while I only got to play this for 10 minutes, my god were they incredible. I agree with the above about the presentation. While it's still very pretty, it is clear that this was built for Wii U and the noisy room didn't allow me to appreciate the music appropriately l. All in all though, majorly excited for this. 1 week to go. Oh yeah, the Switch is a beautiful piece of kit, really classy looking and well made to boot
I was always intrigued by this, it kinda gives me a Ren and Stimpy vibe which simultaneously terrifies and elates me! Will be far to busy at launch with BOTW anyway so can happily wait.
I absolutely had to buy this, as much as it pained me to do, simply to see what all the fuss is about with this HD rumble malarkey. I would have loved for this to have been a free to start title, or even a limited to 10 use demo, if not a pack in
@DanteSolablood Same! Loved that Gameboy Pocket. Think I discovered women shortly after the original Pokรฉmon boom (also team blue) and just kinda drifted away from it
@DanteSolablood It's not a preference thing, I'm just unfamiliar with Gen 2! In fairness, I'm one of those 'I remember when there were 151' kinda folks
I'm personally very excited to see what that most heinous of companies, EA, bring to the table regarding FIFA 18 for the Switch. If it's good, I'd honestly have no need for my PS4 anymore
I just need an Aerodactyl and I can stop playing this!!!! Have no interest in Gen 2 as I'm old and played the originals only until X and Y. But I always said I'd stop playing once I got as many of Gen 1 as were available, didn't expect Gen 2 to be here before I got there though!!!
I've ordered 1,2 Switch albeit with a heavy heart, mainly because I want to see what all the fuss is about with this HD rumble malarkey and as a proof of concept for friends and guests. This for me is what I look forward to playing with the misses though in between mammoth Zelda sessions
After Ocarina is pretty open to speculation still. I mean, the timeline splits in 3 so there are multiple paths and also, it doesn't say 'directly' so could be after wind waker still, not before!
As a Wii U owner who has purchased all the DLC, and along with the misses put over 200 hours into this, I'm not in any rush to buy this. However, as a fan of the Switch concept who has at least 4 mates buying Switches and this (they all skipped the Wii U, shocking I know!!) I'm tempted to double dip! Although a myNintendo discount would be nice.....
Yeah, I'd presume so! But haven't seen any pictures of it as of yet. But ultimately prefer it to the official Nintendo one as it has the 3 game spaces!! BoTw in the chamber, snipperclips obviously is digital, 1,2 Switch and MK8 deluxe in the case! Boom!
@thesilverbrick as long as I can make use of my Wii U GameCube controller adapter I'll be happy! Saying that, not entirely sure how it would work on the go though....
Little Inferno is Legit one of my favourite Eshop memories. Found it completely at random during one of the Wii U's fabled game droughts and it took me completely by surprise with its charm. Will definitely check out the other 2 games and hey, may even download Little Inferno again. Oh wait, I won't have to pay right Nintendo, as I already own it.....
I'm glad they released cards for this game! I've promised my misses that I'll calm down on the amiibos for a bit and the cards hold no interest for me!!!
I just want to know all about VC at launch! Whether or not that ties in with the new online infrastructure is irrelevant. The launch line up maybe lacking (although BoTw and snipperclips is perfectly adequate for me personally) but good day 1 VC support would be a great way to rectify that. Eternal darkness on the train... yes please, Luigis mansion in the bath?? Probably not, but you get the jist!

I've ordered 1,2 Switch albeit with a heavy heart, mainly because I want to see what all the fuss is about with this HD rumble malarkey and as a proof of concept for friends and guests.

Re: Nintendo Shows Off the Joy-Con Controllers Through the Ultimate Medium - An Infographic
It's a bit meh! Not terrible, just not particularly attention grabbing
Re: Yep, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Takes Place After Ocarina of Time
After Ocarina is pretty open to speculation still. I mean, the timeline splits in 3 so there are multiple paths and also, it doesn't say 'directly' so could be after wind waker still, not before!
