It's colossal nitpicking is what it is. But I do agree it's about marketing (and shelf visibility, and manual space, which some games are getting like Binding of Isaac)

But they should be marketing it as an equal competitor, since it is in fact the third gaming platform in the market that plays home console games. Don't want to give the impression that the types of games you're getting on it are equivalent to what you see on 3DS. Small cases are associated...

That doesn't make sense.

When has a home console ever needed to justify games being full price?

It's for shelf visibility, and the fact people associate small cases with 3DS/handheld, and associate handheld with handheld caliber games. Big cases are associated with console quality games. Hence, the big cases, since it plays console games.

Can sign into any system and download your games, but only one at a time.

Same as every other system afaIk.

Wasn't MS trying to do "digital game sharing" and got shut down for it during the X1 launch?

That's the case with all games. They all deal with a few bogus reviews. This game isn't dealing with anything every other game doesn't deal with as well.

The more the merrier. Absolutely.

But 3DS is proof a gaming system can offer a completely unique library. And personally, I don't care what kind of games come to the system as long as they're good. Just the Nintendo games alone make the Switch worth owning (even more so with dual functionality). But I'm guessing this thing is going to get more third-party games than even the 3DS did. Only a handful of them will be big AAA titles but... games are games.

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me Darth Hater.

Day one and couldn't be more excited!

Agreed.

I'm beginning to think they're just gonna let it release first. Oh well. Come 2 weeks from now I'll have it in my hands and can see for myself.

I just want to see what kind of chargers we can use for a faster charge. The stock 39W charger isn't bad... most chargers are 30W or less I've found on Amazon. But with USB-C I'm wondering if I can grab that Apple 61W or 87W MacBook charger and use that, since USB-C can handle up to...

I'm very pleased with this. It's super snappy like the PS4. I don't think I'd have had the patience for another tortoise OS like Wii U.

In fact this may be even faster than PS4, granted we'll have to see how it holds up after a year's worth of updates and games. But this shows instant response times. I was worried Nintendo was gonna mess this up... but they didn't! They nailed it!

I'm so happy

I'm thinking more of a Master Quest, which historically has never been included with the base game until years later.

But, even if it's not, if a hard mode is the extent of our problems that I think we're in pretty good shape

Yes, they did. And now they will be perfectly OK with it, because it's Nintendo.

Just like blind Sony fanboys mocked Microsoft for charging for online, then within 24 hours was defending Sony for doing it.

Fanboys will be fanboys. But why are you letting that bother you so much? So they're hypocrites, every rational person can see that. Why does it get under your skin so much that you have to point it out, why does it not get under your ski...

If you've got issues with particular fans defending everything then that should be addressed with those particular individuals. And let's not pretend those fans don't exist for every platform. Unfairly crying foul here does no justice to Nintendo, the Zelda team, or the gaming industry.

If you despise certain people so much that you're willing to slander just to get back at them, you're no less a fanboy than they are.

Yes, it's just SOOO horrible... so much worse than I thought /s

I think it's great. More Zelda = good thing. $20 for new story content, new modes, few token outfits and items. The very first "season pass" was LA Noires Rockstar Pass, which for $20 offered a couple missions, a new mode and a few token outfits.

DLC the industry norm, but all of a sudden it's a "bad thing" now? Gtfo I love DLC. I bought Dark Souls 3 season pas...

I'm getting both.

I'm not some poor gamer that can only afford to choose one good release per year. It'll be BOTH for yours truly.

Of course, I'll be playing Zelda first. Zelda games almost always rank among the best games ever made, and Breath of the Wild looks absolutely stunning. Love Zelda (and other Nintendo games) so much because of the puzzles and how there's an element of thinking integrated into the gameplay. Horizon and Mass ...

Why is it always "it has to be revolutionary"

No it doesn't. It just has to be good. If it's revolutionary, then its revolutionary. Cool. Thumbs up. If it's not, then it's not. Still cool. Still thumbs up. As long as the game is GOOD.

And if Breath of the Wild wasn't a Zelda game, I'd say it's the most amazing looking new IP I've ever seen. The fact it's Zelda just lets us know the blueprint of the core mechan...

There's no fanbase like the Nintendo fanbase. In both a good and bad way, for all it is.

Probably not, but the LA Noire port is totally believable and would fall in line with Take Two's year one support of the console

This man is talking sense.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna see GameCube. It's 3 generations prior. Maybe not at launch (hopefully though!) but at some point, definitely.

Pretty sure Nintendo held back releasing on Wii U to have one more selling point for Switch

Grabbed the Collectors Edition from NIS Online Store.

Gotta have that art book and collector box

No, it's a main series entry.

I do think the Mario RPG Rabbids crossover exists, I mean Ancel even teased it with that tweet of with a plunger in his hand talking about Rabbitified... it doesn't take rocket science to figure out what he was referring to.

I'm curious to see it though. Love me some Mario, love me some RPG gameplay... maybe it'll be a second chance for Rabbids. Well, certainly the brand will benefit from riding Marios coat ta...

This game looks excellent.

I'm board of the same ol same ol... I need some new thrown into the mix. This will do nicely
