The L facing the wrong way on the guy playing Waluigi really Disturbed me too. I can't imagine how he missed that. The backwards L iconic for Waluigi.

I still use my Wii U fairly often for Netflix and Amazon Video. I look forward to when my Switch can do the same. I use my phone with my Chromecast fairly often, and switch between watching something on TV back onto my phone - and I would do the same thing with my Switch. No need to pause a movie when you have to go to the bathroom! Just take it with you...

This really would be fantastic with some well placed HD Rumble. I imagine it could emulate footsteps, thunder and such quite nicely. Love a good scary game. Playing in handheld mode with some nice headphones would be nice

Probably 100+ hours on PS3, closer to 600 hours on my PC right - and it will still be a day one buy for me. Love me some Skyrim! I have been planning my character to create one the Switch for about 6 months now.

@Scrummer
Oceanhorn is quite a fun game. I don't see it as a Zelda clone as much as a Zelda love letter. It has its own unique personality. It is worth the investment.

Very excited for this game. Had never played a Metroid game until Prime 3 on my Wii, but I quickly fell in love with them. I actually quite liked Metroid Other M (gasp) - and I have been itching to replay that game. The trouble is that my son is going to want to borrow the new 3DS game.... Maybe I need to buy two copies.

@speedracer216
I have to respectfully disagree on most of your points.
Memory problems? I bought a 64 Gig SD card for less than $30 - how is that a problem?
Build quality not addressed? Like the joy-con problem that was identified, and repaired for free within a week or two of discovering the problem? Almost anything else is anecdotal. A few Switches with problems out of Millions sold is to be expected.
HD Rumble? Nobody cares? It is one of the greatest features on the console! Try turning it off after using it - I bet you would miss it right away.

If my New 3DS XL or my son's 3DS XL dies, this would be my replacement. Neither of use the 3D.

Love the game! I still play it now and again. What I really enjoy is the HAD rumble - it adds a lot to the game.

Looks pretty good to me. As long as they take advantage of some Switch features, like HD Rumble, I will be good.

I have to respectfully disagree with the "6" this game was given. While it certainly is very strongly influenced by Zelda, it really is a fun game. It translated well from tablets to the switch, and the controls make all the difference in the world. The graphics are lovely, the gameplay is fun - the repetitiveness of enemies is no bigger problem with this game than it is with the older Zelda's. I also think the story is good, too.
If I were to add anything, it would be HD Rumble. I am so used to it on the switch now, that games without it feel flatter.
This game deserves a 7.5 at the minimum, and would be an 8 if they added HD rumble, and maybe a little motion control option for tossing bombs and such.
Give it a shot.

@SepticLemon I was so excited a few years back when I heard a new Yars Revenge was coming out . What a piece of schlock that was. No relation to the original classic, and stupid gameplay.

Shining a light on this kind of abuse from a company often forces them to change - take Ubers current woes, for example...

I have been playing this since release date 2011. I have it on PC, PS3 and my stepson PS4. Skyrim is an absolute joy, and I am on my 4th or 5th 100+ hour playthrough. I am already planning my new character on the switch. This is a day one buy for me. Skyrim + portability = awesome!

My son and I really enjoy the switch - he loves bringing when we go out and he plays Mario Kart while I am driving. Minecraft has been getting many, many hours of play between us.

To be honest, we use the wii U just as much - we have a big catalog of games he and I have not finished yet!

@CheezIt have you ever built your own network of expensive servers to host thousands of simultaneous gamers? Probably not. It is expensive. Very expensive. These kind of things have ongoing costs that you may never think about.

Adding the "Off Hand " slot is great - I use it all the time on the PC version. It also means that shields are coming soon, I am sure! Those change the game up so much on the PC.

Very tempted with this game. I may just take the plunge. The demo for Bravely Default sent me over the edge to buy that game, I wonder if the demo for this will, too.

Ribbon girl is my favorite. When I played, about 40% of the people in my group played ribbon girl, followed by Ninjara.
I enjoyed it, but still on the fence about spending $60 on it..

And yet somehow, I missed Farming Simulator 1 thru 17...

I have not seen the random screenshot issue that was mentioned, but at least four times since I downloaded Minecraft the game has popped back to the home screen without me touching the home button. I thought at first I had inadvertantly pressed it, but after a few times I realized it was doing it by itself. The Switch is so fast at popping in and out of the home menu it has not been a big inconvenience, but is nice to see it aknowledged!

It looks really good! I think I will pick this one up when it comes out.

@Equinox
46 years old and I love the game. Hundreds of hours of exploring, surviving and building on my PC, PS3 and tablet - and I will do it again on the switch. The game is what you make of it. Some enjoy creative mode and just building huge worlds - some love the fun multiplayer competitive modes, I myself love the survival aspects of it - staying with nothing and trying to survive to build a safe haven to live. I bet if you say down with an open mind and just tried it for a few hours, you might just love it.

I really doubt that Nintendo would allow this app on the Switch. It just opens up too many cans of worms when it comes to licensing and having content out of Nintendo's control on the switch. I suspect Nintendo's lawyers will say "Pass" on this one.

I think the voice acting in BotW was great, and this young lady did a fantastic job portraying the emotion and internal struggle of Zelda.
I hope the use her again in the future - she has real talent.

It makes perfect sense. Between my son and I, we have 3 3DS's and neither of us can see in 3D. I would have bought these in a heartbeat.

A friend of mine had "The Smurfs" on Colecovision back in the day... I thought he was pretty wierd until I played it. Gorgeous game and a lot of fun!

@AhabSpampurse about the wires adapter - I think he is just being honest and straight forward. Wireless has much, much more latency than wired connections no matter what. It is possible to tweak some wireless settings to improve connections, but most people do not have the technical know how to tweak their routers. I have a PS3 and the wired connection has far better performance online over the wireless.

Big fan of both Conduit games. I still have the itch to replay them again. They should do a good job on the spidey game. Who is doing the Wii U version?

@SMEXIZELDAMAN in the first video they complimented the graphics several times, noting how crisp everything was.

@Action51 But who sold the most consoles and handhelds last gen? That was Nintendo.

@Of_Folsense Really? Now that is cool. I did not realize tbose two could play cross-platform. Thanks for the info.

Cross play between Wii U and 3DS? I will buy it just to support the first company to try that! Awesome!

Come on, Ubisoft... you really need to stop dissing a company that has put a lot of $ in your pockets. Let's Dance has done quite nicely for you on Nintendo Consoles, so show us some love by putting some effort into your New Nintendo games. Was the Rayman fallout not a big enough sign?

Our family uses the Gamepad daily. My son loves to watch Netflix on it, and we use off screen play for many of our games.
coming from the PC world, I never could stand split screen play. When the Gamepad allowed to play lego games with one on the gamepad and one on the screen, it was awesome! We also play Tank, Tank Tank, Mario games, Nintendoland and others using the gamepad.
In a nutshell, many of us use the gamepad and enjoy it!

I bought one the first week, and love it! I just upgraded to an XL over Christmas and gave my 3DS to my son. I own a nice tablet and a Galaxy 4 phone, and not one single game even approaches the fun we have had with our 3DS' s. There are still multiple games on my "must buy" list that have been out for over a year or two. Just so many fun things to do with it!

All the whining about the Bay movies! You all do realize the movies are based on a toy franchise, right? As in toys for kids, right? What do you expect the movies to do? I enjoyed all of them for what they were. Entertainment. When movies are made, there is no time to go into a dep backstory that the few thousand superfans want to see. Everything must fit into a 1 1/2 hour movie, so compromises need to be made. Even the awkward decision to have Shia LeDouche in the movie was balanced by having Megan Fox...

I think this is a fine idea. My daughter enjoys watching videos targeted at her demographic, why would it be different for the worlds other girls? Having a female perspective on a game or a system seems like a pretty logical move.

My son is a big fan of Sub Wars on the 3DS, so this is a must have for us. We will play through the demo...er I mean free to play version this weekend, but the full version purchase is pretty much guaranteed.

New interface? Better connectivity between the two shops? Having it on the same day as a direct does make ones mind wander..

How about a team up with Notch - a Wii U Minecraft bundle! That would sell like hotcakes. Even thougg I am not sure how quickly hotcakes really sell.
With millions of copies of Minecraft sold on the other two consoles, I can imagine a boxed bundle would do quite nice.

Ke$ha made another song besides "Tik Tok"? Who knew...

Mmmmmm.... a Metroid themed remote control quadcopter that looks similar to the Gunship in Nintendoland Metroid Blast.... fun!

Come on, Ubisoft. Don't do that. Nintendo has been your meal ticket with Just Dance for years. Don't forget the girl that took you to the prom.

I think this will be a great game on the Wii U. I will be picking it up.

I have seen or heard almost nothing on the new lego game. Can we assume that means that is a quickly made game to cash in on the movie, and really stinks? I hope not... my son loves the lego games...

Ah.... here is the answer to the canadian thing. Very interesting. http://contests.about.com/od/sweepstakes101/f/caskillquestion.htm

I was reading the rules, and saw that if any Canadians win, they have to answer a "Math question" over the phone in order to be eligible! That is very odd, but I suppose the Canadians have a reason for it! I will have to look that up.

@Kamalisk yes. That is how game programming works across multiple platforms using different hardware. One button exists that converts every piece of code from xbox360, ps3, ps and Wii U. That is also how cross platform games are made. Just click a button and Presto! New code for a new console! The gamepad, on the otherhand, requires the programmers to flick an actual switch to add full gamepad support. The Kinect for the Xbox is a dial that is turned. See how easy game programming is!

My daughter has Just Dance 2013 for the Wii U and it is a big hit at sleepovers and weekend get togethers with her friends. We often have four kids dancing and one on the Gamepad drawing on the screen. I would love to have a parental option to block certain songs, as there are always one or two that a 12 year old really does not need to see the lyrics to!
It is hard to justify a yearly update, as they still have fun with the version they have. Maybe the 2015 version...
