lol. I actually woke up this Moring and thought. "i have finally decided, yes I will buy arms" then I log on to Nintendo life and the review is up. 9/10 is good. I do expect Nintendo life too score Nintendo games higher than other multiplatform websites, but im still happy with 9/10.
they really are pushing the social aspect of there system. look at ps4/xbox adds, I love those systems but normally not a person to be seen in their adds. Nintendo though have people getting together in every frame.
Wow.... for all the speculation out there, this should have been done at e3!!!!!!!!!! I guess that's why such short notice, if there had been any more build up to that direct people would have been even more disappointed
this is not going to work for me. my switch is docked next to the tv, I can not run a cord across my lounge to it cos of my kids running backwards and forwards. its just not an option.
once you have the hang of the game button mashing takes all the fun out of it. it took me 3 of the test sessions to get comfortable with arms. At first i didn't like it, but now i think its really good
as soon as splatoon2 hits my home will need two switches minimum. i'm normally really careful with my hard earned money but Nintendo is doing really well out of me at the moment and will be for the foreseeable future.
I thought about the 4-6 year old target audience he talked about and thought, ok that makes sense. Then i realized that if i bought my four year old one of these instead of a switch, he would probably hit me over the head with it. Dear Reggie: my four year old is almost as good as me at splatoon, he cant really read so I’m still trying to figure out how hes got so dam far in BOTW, don’t underestimate the kids
the portability aspect ended up being way more useful than I thought it was going to be. the switch is growing on me every day an is now more important to me than my smart phone. it deserves every successes!
Can't download this yet in AUS/NZ. thought it would kill me having it but only to look at; but then i went and played splatoon and everything was right with the world again
I do wish it was more powerfull but overall this is def my fav console of all time. im away from home quite a bit so being able to take Zelda with me is really really great!
I have been underwhelmed by what the games look like on the big screen and the joy cons size is hopeless for at home gaming but overall I still love the system. It feels like a portable that can be plunged into the TV to me but that’s great as I will now get a lot more gaming time in hype was real.
@Yasume I manage to get 3-5 hours a day. but I made scarifies to get it. sounds like you live a pretty well rounded life which is a really positive thing.
@Yasume
sorry to hear you don't have much time to game. i'm 35 with 3 kids, I know how life can take over. have you thought about restructuring so you get more gaming time?. its good for you
(combined with a good diet and exercise. lol)
@Spiders
lol me to. it has splatoon so that means i'm there, no questions asked. then you remember all the other cool stuff that's going to be on it too. dam its good to be a gamer.
I loved the original, played it heaps. strangely i'm not sure how I feel about getting it again for the switch. i'm more excited for new stuff than remakes.
the kids are going to be very hard pressed to get the switch off me. if they ever do the wife acts as parental controls in our house, but she never really has much to worry about with Nintendo
