Fuck, seems friend codes are back. Hopefully just temporarily until they get their online stuff ready. The Wii U doesn't even use them anymore.

Just wanted to note real quick that someone on NeoGAF has said that you get weapons with better durability the further you get into the game. I do wonder if that means you can get some of your better weapons repaired?

Horizon can't be the best game ever made because Tetris is the best game ever made and that shit came out in 1989.

Thanks for the impressions. I'm hoping that later in the game you will get weapons that will be harder to break, or can be repaired. I'd imagine the Master Sword will be a permanent weapon.

Damn, indies seem very on board. I'm okay with this.

I think you can get a tunic that will make it where you can walk around in the cold without eating stuff. This is the Wii U version I assume? I hope there's a day 1 patch to make the Switch version a bit more stable.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't. Originally it wasn't being developed for Switch at all. The port kind of happened pretty late in development. There's an interview somewhere I think that talks about it.

I'm grabbing Zelda and after that will probably grab I Am Setsuna. I always liked my RPGs on the go.

Probably because it wasn't built on that hardware I'd imagine.

I don't think companies are able to patch their games or systems yet. So I'll hold off on worrying about that until the 3rd.

Damn, some pretty nice space usage there. Barely any un-unsed space.

Hrm, looks snappy.

I just realized that the clouds in this game suck. They need new clouds.

My plan is to buy it to play Zelda and maybe some other things. If nothing interesting is announced at E3 I can just sell the thing.

New Fire Emblem Warriors trailer with like 8 seconds of actual gameplay footage. Also, Fire Emblem will be coming to switch in 2018.

I think for non-Nintendo fans (and even Nintendo fans), just wait until the end of the year to be honest. It seems to me like this system wasn't ready to launch, but I'm guessing internal pressures (needing something for the 1st quarter of the year most likely) contributed to it coming out now...

The peripheral problem I'll just solve by buying used. The price is probably going to come down next year. They're basically cashing in on early adopters. If the price doesn't come down, they'll at least make a bundle. I expect either a Mario Kart 8 bundle, a Smash bundle, or maybe an Odyssey...

So this thing might have a haptic touch screen. TouchSense, a haptic technology, will be implemented in the Nintendo Switch's touchscreen

Edit: False alarm.

Yeah, this is confusing the shit out of me to be honest. I could see them put out an app like this to chat with your friends while you're not on your switch and you're away from home, but the function should STILL be on the console natively as well. I don't know if this is just some kind of...

Yeah, it was overall a bad conference. The price, the pay for online, etc are bad. Hopefully they change their minds on a few of those things. At least with the online I hope they get a proper online system going. I have one pre-ordered, but don't know quite yet if I'll pull the full trigger...

I suspect that mid year or end year they'll announce a bundle with a game, everyone will be pissed and early adopters will get a free game or something too.

I'd have been okay with $299 if it came with a game or something. But that much for the system itself is dumb as shit. I'm thinking I'm going to pass until a better package comes along.

If Dragon Quest X (the mmo) and Monster Hunter are coming, I'm in. Especially Monster Hunter. It's like the closest thing I can get to that old EQ feeling. I suppose we'll see.

Yup. Good night, Princess.

Someone made a good point about it. It's likely underclocked to deal with the various climates. They don't want the thing to burn up in 100 degree weather. As someone who lives in Louisiana this is a valid concern, though I think they overdid it on the downclocking. Yeah. It really depends on...

I mean, it at least had to sting his ego a bit. Lol.

Poor Brad. Got so high and successful with EQ. Tumbled back down with Vanguard. Now he seeks redemption.

So is it over, or is development simply halted for now?

I think $199 for the base model and $249 for a system with the game would be the best way to go, but the rumor is that they're going with $249 for the base model and $300 for the system with a game. As for the specs, according to some people on GAF it seems the system should still be able to...

I mean, yeah it was. It was beautiful too. If they made a SMRPG remake with that engine I could die happy. I hope this thing is around $199. I think a low cost console would be fine. $249 with no game would be really pushing it. Especially since PS4 and XB1 are already close to that.

Switch isn't BC with Wii U as it's a whole different architecture. If you mean the re releases then sure.

All I know is that my hype is dead until the 12th/13th. The one benefit this system has left aside from being a portable is that all of Nintendo's games will be in one place. It'll be up to them to make it worth it.

Whelp, not buying this at launch. Will wait and see how it turns out. Everyone is fucking confused right now because even the X1 can do far better. They're literally throttling it for no good reason. What the fuck.

Yeah, but I'm wondering if that's temporary. I hope they keep a lot of the sound effects.

I hope they can use this sound as an easter egg or something in the actual game. I don't know if it's copyrighted or anything, though.

You'll always have these types. Gotta take the good with the bad.

Jesus Christ what happened in here?

I think the closer we get to seeing that there is actually a game to play, the more people will be willing to donate to fund the game. Unfortunately Brad is a bit shady with his past... Problems... But if he can put up enough for us to see that something is there, he could get past that...

I think if there are different kinds of raid bosses there could be enough variety to keep people busy. Have a few that spawn via a quest (turn in an item and the raid boss spawns), world bosses, dungeon bosses, etc. I don't know if we should go back to week long spawn timers, though. In all...
