@Anti-Matter

Japanese version sometimes has an English subtitles option anyway tbf lol. I can understand some basic Japanese and I can also read some simplified Chinese characters. But trying to read a whole story/menu in Japanese (obviously only some characters are the same as Chinese) would not be easy at all lol.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 12th April

starman292

I was really happy with the splatoon hoard mode and I'm actually warming up to arms more now. There was lots of nice surprises for the 3ds and a few bits and bobs for switch so I'm pretty pleased. My guess is that the meat of the releases will be waiting til e3 for the switch though. Particularly as they already mentioned Mario will be playable at e3. The one announcement I was actually really pleased about was they finally are releasing the last few smash amiibo! I've been waiting ages to get Cloud and Robin

Re: These Neon Yellow Joy-Con Will Go Perfectly With ARMS

starman292

I'm guessing that perhaps arms is a bit more harsh on the battery life of the joycons than most games. It uses most of its features at the same time, I think that's probably why they have released the battery packs. The thickness may make them easier to hold while punching too. I do like​ those new colours though!

@KidRad
Maybe for you but I'd definitely say breath of the wild has had an impact lol. It's put Zelda back on the map for a lot of non-nintendo fan gamers. Anyways back to the article.... I probably won't pick up steering wheels for this one. The joycons have joysticks which is my personal preference over motion controls. I might have to grab some more joycons for the multiplayer though, I've got one pro controller and the joycons at the moment. Great when it's just me and the wife but if friends are over then we need more controllers. Has anyone tried out that controller in this list?

Re: Nintendo Switch Chip X-Ray Suggests The Console Is Running A Stock Nvidia Tegra X1

starman292

I'm honestly not bothered, if I was bothered about it having ridiculous graphics I would just stick to my pc lol. Lets face it most of us knew it would be somewhere between the wii u and xb1. Nintendo have made a hybrid console that has an OS that runs circles around my ps4 OS and I have a new zelda to play on it. Not to mention a new splatoon and Mario coming this year. I already have more games coming out I want this year on my switch than any other console. THAT is what matters! Sure they could of put in a better chip and charged more, but I think it will be fine. If they made some beauties on the Wii U they can do far better on the switch. As long as it sells well third parties will play ball eventually (not that I care mind you, but I'm sure others will want some of the crap EA keeps shelling out). As long as I have games to look forward to on it, then I'm happy.

Yeah I've been watching his videos for a while and subscribed a while back. I have always liked the way he presents things on the YouTube channel, I think it adds to the community feel of nintendolife as a whole too. Congrats to all off you and a big well done for Alex! Let's hope there's many more videos and subscribers to come

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Is Officially One Of The Best Games Of All Time

@Einherjar
Yeah I would agree with the slow start. I'm just taking my time with it and taking it all in. My guess is that it's one of those stories that gets better the further you get into it. I have had some really fun side-quests so far though and there's nothing like how you feel when you find a really nice piece of gear, gives you a great sense of accomplishment! All I'm going to say without too much spoilers is there is a really fun shrine hidden in the area to the east that makes really great use of the motion controls XD check it out if you haven't already.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Runs Better In Switch's Portable Mode

starman292

Honestly people are blowing this out of proportion, it only happens in literally a few places. Basically if there's an area with loads of long grass there's a chance of a bit of stutter just as you walk into it. It's very rare during combat (had it happen once when a guardian shot and set a load of grass alight). Besides that I haven't had it happen in snow, water, being high up, or any of the shrines so far. I basically think it's an issue with the grass, but damn that grass looks sexy!

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

@impurekind
Trust me I worried it was going to feel like that, but it really doesn't. I keep on forgetting it's a portable because it feels and plays just like a home console. The home feels snappy and quick and there is little to no loading at all. Plus Zelda looks and plays beautifully. It's not until I had it that I fully realised this IS a home console with optional portability. I just hope people treat it as such. Oh and for those who were wondering there is rumble in Zelda just not HD rumble.

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

starman292

I got mine last night and although I didn't get to play it for very long the game is by far the best looking thing Nintendo has ever done.
I'm not going to lie I was absolutely terrified it wouldn't feel like a Zelda game. But right from the get go it really does but in a different environment. I still haven't really got stuck into it yet but from my first 45 minutes of play I game-overed like twice lmao. It's surprising how differently you have to take the approach to enemies (look what's around them and what they can use against you) and in the case of guardians my advice is look for an escape route lol. But I haven't really delved into the story yet (still on the plateau) I just hope it meets my high expectations!

Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch Could Revive Local Multiplayer

starman292

I think the difference for me is that Nintendo make games I actually WANT to play in local multiplayer. I've had a ps4 for over a year and it's a good console. But I have had no reason to buy a second pad at all. There just isn't many quality games (besides a few good indies) that are good in local multiplayer. If ever I go away I don't bring my ps4 I bring my Wii U and 3DS because Nintendo make really fun local multiplayer games. It's a shame because Microsoft and Sony used to have some absolute gems for local multiplayer. But there seems to be more effort to keep people shut in their rooms in single player and online than with others in local multiplayer.
