Re: Nintendo UK Reiterates That Switch Demand Has "Surpassed" Global Estimates

Robohock

@Jasspur
I can confirm this, was there early today and they had boxes but no systems. They did have a wait list, just out of curiosity I asked what number I
Would be if I signed up now. (I already have a switch and 8 physical games)
7731! Granted I live in Dallas and the store I go to is in one hell of a populate area with no game stops in 6 miles. They get the switch daily about a 100 give or take. That means the last guy on that list won't get his till September 19th. Production could ramp up though. I think 13 million is a respectable goal for fiscal 17. I also got disgae 5 for 45 their the other day.

Re: First Impressions: Kicking Off With FIFA 18 on the Nintendo Switch

Robohock

I've never bought a soccer/football game in my life, played a few though mostly on snes, yet I feel compelled to buy this. Its two fold it seams.
1. Switch lends to co-op/competitive at the core system level. Its it's thing for the lack of a better term. Two controllers out the box.
2. We as switch owners need to show the big AAAs we are interested in their games or we'll end up getting nothing again.
I can hear the whisper of complaining coming now, "but downgraded port, less modes, no dlc, lessened visuals". FIFA has at least 2 of these, but nothing earth shattering wrong with the game. Sad thing is I truly agree with the community that this should not be acceptable and we need full games plus extra content where applicable.
Everyone knows about the Nintendo triangle with 3rd parties. Publisher takes wait and see approach at first, releases port of game six months later than other systems it in turn sells poorly. They then decided to pull all future support.
The publishers aren't willing to break the cycle by taking a few game losses and keep making games till they strike gold on Nintendo when there are more lucrative platforms.
So we as gamers have to step up and buy these games so they sell well enough for support not to get pulled. If we don't break the cycle it won't end. Of course if you want to keep things how they are, table scraps with zero parity 3rd party wise with the twins then well god help us all.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)

Robohock

My switch and Zelda should be here in the morning and I just can't wait. Question though, it seams I forgot to cancel my preorder for the Wii u edition when I ordered the switch in January. After looking at the Amazon page it says my Wii u version is not coming till March 30.... I preordered in September. Anyone else having this issue? I thought about canceling it but seeing how it may be rare I just might keep it for value!

Re: Feature: Some of Our Favourite Legend of Zelda Games

Robohock

So hard to choose a favorite. I played links adventure first at about 5 and wasn't very good at it, played the original shortly there after and starting falling in love. OOT was the first I played from start to finish( one more for the Christmas morning starts) and I was hooked bought a SNES the next summer and enjoyed a link to the past just as much. So nostalgia says OOT but I can't say definitely. How about all of them

Re: USPS Recovers Lost Package Containing $10,000 in Rare SNES Cartridges

Robohock

I've had three orders in as many mouths not make it to me from Amazon all curtsey of USPS. All tracking has showed it made it to my mail box, yet I never received the items (games and a few other cheap things). Makes more sense now that I k ow they sell of unclaimed items... For amazons part they have never even questioned if I received the item, hers to hoping my switch doesn't get lost in transportation...

Re: Snake Pass is Slithering Onto Nintendo Switch in Late March

Robohock

Aren't these the same guys a couple of weeks ago that said they ported the game from PC to switch in a week? (Obviously not fully but the base code etc.) They started work on it beginning of January this year and it will be ready mid March? Supports the easy to port to switch argument! On topic, I'll pick it up if the price is right.
