I was in Tokyo in early August and there were still long lines for a lottery to try and get a system. I had thought that all switch sales numbers were just production numbers as they sell out...
The game was 6 hours for me and yeah I wished it was a bit longer. I also wanted a bit more metroidvania style, but oh well. I'll probably pick this up eventually, I like Risky
The dip in frame rate can lead to it not always registering correctly or on time when the A button is pushed to pick up something or put down something, which is pretty critical. It leads to you pushing the A button again sometimes and messing it up.
Wow, reading the comments I'm shocked at all the outrage over imitations or "rip-offs". It's different enough-- but even if it's not, what's wrong with more Zelda? I'm all for more
I've been playing regularly since the beginning. I use lucky eggs whenever I get enough pokemon to evolve so I can fully take advantage of the extra exp. I play at least everyday to get a pokemon and a stop but also when I do any serious walking. And I think I'm only around level 30 or so. The ramp up on exp needed to get from one level to the next at higher levels is just stupid and discouraging.
I need a new 3DS so I'll be picking this up around thanksgiving probably. My 3DS Smash themed XL broke and I had been using my original 3DS but the screen is a bit small and the battery is really worn out. I hadn't ever upgraded to the "new" 3ds, so this will be my entry
I got it day 1 and have been loving it. First time with the series, there's definitely a lot here but that's fun. Also, you don't have to go as deep as you want to which is kind of nice. The DLC helps out any who might struggle with any difficulty I imagine (like giving you an option for 1 million of the currency). I'm glad it's on the switch!
I picked it up this morning and got to play it during my lunch break. It's fun, getting new characters is a fun system. I got destroyed at first but got more the hang of it by the second match. I've enjoyed it. The only gripes I have is the slightly longer load times and times you have to wait after a made basket. It takes more skill than NBA jam which is kinda good for depth, but bad for pick up and play. Which I'm OK with. For $20, it's plenty fun and I am glad I got it. I look forward to more multiplayer
It might have also been something considered in previous versions-- instead of the sword running out of energy it goes skyward and returns to the forest. Eh, probably not, but cool to think of it as an homage
Extremely random roster. A lot of rookies who aren't proven or anywhere close to it. Some current players with experience who aren't even the 1, 2 or 3 on their teams, yet the 1, 2, 3 guys are missing (Klay Thompson, Serge Ibaka). Just very odd overall.
@JKRiki only the floors count. But you can drastically effect a match and do well even if you don't get many or any kills by just focusing on painting areas where the enemy is not. Be sure to paint over enemy paint first as that gives you points and takes away from them. Most maps do a good job of letting you have multiple paths out of your base in some way. If your team is pushed back in the main paths, it is important to get out behind the other team and ink the other half of the map so the enemy team is forced to come back and deal with you. Also, it could allow your teammates to super jump to you and then you can shift the fight in your favor. Inking more space helps you and your team be able to move more freely, along with points. So just focusing on that is fine. You'll be up against plenty of other noobies too and you'll catch on quick I think. Try out lots of different weapons and enjoy!
ARMS has such a terrible name... I am interested in the direct and want to like it and want it to be good. But how well it plays and what kind of reviews it has will sway me heavily. All about the gameplay.
@JKRiki In the original game there was a pretty good match making system. When you play the final product I'm pretty sure that you'll be against people at your level pretty quickly. Also, don't paint the walls, they don't give you points but they do help you climb up them or hide in them.
Looks like fun. I hope they add elements of NBA Street as well, like the crazy dribble combos you could do.
I also liked it because the video started off with Steph Curry getting knocked down by Iverson. Nothing too much against Curry besides that he's really good, but it's a funny image to see Iverson doing that for some reason
I'd love Nintendo to make minor changes to BOTW through patches, like being able to register this horse, pick up items from a horse, streamline cooking, and have a recipe book.
First time in a while I feel like I'll probably be more experienced/skilled than the majority of players of a certain game that I'll be going head to head with. mwahaha
I like the breath of the wild case (not the special edition one, Walmart cancelled my preorder...) but it feels too soft. If I drop it, I don't know that it would be anymore protected than if I dropped it while holding it not in a case.
@yokokazuo I had the switch dock behind my TV because my tv stand is barely big enough for my TV, and I wanted the full experience viewing zelda. I sat yeah probably about 2m away and had a bit of interference. When I moved the dock in front of my TV, no problem though.
@JaxonH interesting. I find myself playing games much more often if I have them digitally. It's just so much more convenient, somehow, even though I don't consider myself a particularly lazy person. Thanks!
I've said it before but Splatoon seems like the perfect fit for Amiibo-- at least all the smash ones. You could at least have shirts/hats and shoes based off of characters. But take it a step further-- make specific weapons based on the Amiibo. Main weapons, don't make it whimpy

Re: Celebrate Spring With The Pokémon GO Eggstravaganza Event
Nice little bonus. I'll enjoy it
Re: Splatoon 2 Splats on Switch on 21st July
I hope the Amiibo do more, like give you clothe gifts similar to how they sort of mentioned. Or similar to Breath of the wild type of thing
Re: New Splatoon, Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Bros. amiibo Announced
I hope their is a bit more amiibo compatibility in Splatoon 2. With non-splatoon ones in just a read way for instance.
The smash ones look great. I was hoping it would come with announcements of other games like FFVII or Bayonetta or even just Smash Deluxe. Oh well
And I'm definitely down for more Pikmin amiibo

FFVII remake and the new FF games. They included Cloud in Smash, cmon don't tease us and not deliver on VII for Nintendo after that

It respawns eventually though, probably with the blood moon

@NintySnesMan Right, I guess I just knew about my city in the states and Tokyo. I'm glad the UK and Ireland have better stock
Re: Feature: We Grade the Various Nintendo Switch Launch Complaints from the Web
My biggest complaint is that they don't have enough in stock... Everywhere is sold out
Re: Caveman Warriors is Stretching for Nintendo Switch and Wii U on Kickstarter
The theme reminds me of Joe and Mac. That was a great game, if they can imitate that in any way they'll do well
Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)
Definitely getting it as soon as I get a switch. Always love bomberman and co-op bomberman even more so.
Did they ever come out with Bomberman 64 on the VC? I'd love to play that again too, even more so if they included online multiplayer or co-op somehow
Re: Guide: Essential Nintendo Switch Accessories
I guess I'll just attach the controller and pick it up when I need to charge it while playing it, if I am outside of the home

Re: Video: I Am Setsuna's Nintendo Switch Launch Trailer Piles On The Accolades
I'm interested and I plan on getting it. It seems like a neat game

So why does everyone want a physical release? So they can sell it later? Or purely to save their memory?

Re: Talking Point: The State of Play - amiibo and Its Next Big Move
I've said it before but Splatoon seems like the perfect fit for Amiibo-- at least all the smash ones. You could at least have shirts/hats and shoes based off of characters. But take it a step further-- make specific weapons based on the Amiibo. Main weapons, don't make it whimpy
