Gamestop I pre-ordered from had about 55 people lined up for their pre-orders, and another 5 for the few launch units the store had. Was able to snag a Pro controller - they only had 3 but I went in around 6 pm to finalize my pre-order and they said they could ring a Pro controller up for me.

CEMU doesn't have any of the Wii U Zelda's playable so I doubt BOTW will be within 2 months.

Wonder if they rebooted the system or not. Saw some tweets saying it didn't take effect until then. I don't have the system yet myself, was just relaying a thread on SonyGaf.

Most the non-perfect scores do seem to have framerate as the only negative. But the game has so many things going on behind the scenes affecting performance - just watching some of these streams, how the world physically works seems really close to the real world. Wind, Gravity, fire, physics, etc.

Looks like the Day 1 patch fixed the JoyCon desync issue - they probably just upped the signal strength at the cost of some battery life.

Still 98 on Metacritic with over 50 reviews. Easy to say it's the best reviewed modern game now. Only Ocarina of Time is higher, and it only has ~20 reviews.

Tallon Zek in Time is still pretty tough.

It's just not a popular IP in Japan, which is still a big chunk of Nintendo software sales even with their shrinking console market.

There was a Nintendo Direct for upcoming Indie titles on the Switch today: The full list from the image at the end, not all of these had trailers in the Direct though: Rogue Trooper Redux The Fall Part 2: Unbound Treasurenauts sU and the Quest for meaning RIME Zombie Vikings Mr. Shifty...

Metroid is on the back burner all the time because it sells like dogshit. Even the best selling (Prime series) sold a fraction of what Mario, Zelda, or even games like Splatoon do. Same for F-zero and whatever other under represented Nintendo franchise you can name. They are a business after...

Because they aren't ready to announce it's replacing the 3DS yet. 3DS still has software coming out this year they want to sell, but it's harder and harder to find 3DS in stores these days. I think they are quietly phasing them out.

Going to need a BOTW thread soon. " The result, for all the longevity of its series and the familiarity of the open world genre, is a game that evokes feelings we haven't felt for 20 years. Not since Ocarina of Time have we set foot in a world that feels so mind-bogglingly vast and unerringly...

First published Review is a 10/10 for Zelda from Edge Magazine, sweet cover too. Edge #304 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild special

Zelda previews rolling in, here's some snippets: Here's one from metro: Game preview: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild could be the best game ever "Having just completed it, we couldn’t help but think of Horizon Zero Dawn while playing Breath Of The Wild, and how simplistic it now seems compared to...

UI looks fast and sleek compared to the Wii U one.

There's a Darkwind X guild on Phinny, mostly training scumbags - especially a guy named Daser.

Eh, the game has been delayed twice already. It's done and gone gold weeks ago. Better to announce it now as available to buy at launch, when everyone will be playing it and will throw down the $20. They aren't holding back content here, details are vague because nothing has been developed yet...

Better late to nerf cards than wait for the next expansion to try to balance the meta. MSG made Aggro Shaman even more powerful.

I'll wait and see before complaining about it. Nintendo's DLC has been pretty good up to this point, outside of the few Amiibo's that had some form of game content included (no not cosmetics).

Still no one's taking Lifesteal talent over +2 Souls damage, which is why they changed it from evasion in the first place.

Half the price of PSN/XBL, pretty reasonable. Sounds like multiple tiers too.

The Zelda Ad they will play during the actual Super Bowl - cut down from the extended:

GoD and OoW are unlocking separately now, that's good news.

They aren't being manufactured anymore, and the Switch doesn't have backwards comparability. That means people aren't going to get rid of their Wii U's - it will be a collector's item eventually. You might be able to get a refurb one from Nintendo for ~$200 still.

Why not just get an HDMI switch box for your consoles? I got one for like 20 bucks, has my PS3/PS4/Wii U on it - just press a button to switch between them.

Might be hard to find groups to level up in though. If it's anything like Midgard, the only caster that gets regular exp groups is Runemaster (Pulsing Bladeturn or best damage add buff). Theurg might be a good idea.

I'm talking about using the Joycons IN the grip, not separately. Trump meme woulda been better.

The Joycons+Grip that comes with the console is supposedly really good. Probably hold off on the Pro controller for a few months until I need the D-pad.

This happens for literally every phone launched these days. Most just take pre-orders regardless because it's obvious it will get passed. See how you could already order the controller in Canada, UK, Japan, etc - FCC is just slow as dicks.

This hasn't been true since the Wii U (and 3DS) - your digital purchases are tied to your MyNintendo account or whatever it's called, just login to their website and you can see them. The account itself is linked to your console/handheld, however. What's the difference? Well you can't login to...

True, but if the rumor is they already have Dark Souls 3 running with acceptable performance on Switch hardware, isn't that most of the work already done? Usually 3rd party abandons a console AFTER the work it's already done is released - even the Wii U had 3rd party support at from launch to a...

1. It would be great if they offered their full VC library as a paid service, or even just like 5 games a month instead of the 1. This is a new architecture though and Nintendo doesn't half-ass emulation, which means all these VC titles will have to be re-emulated with new wrappers and more QA...

More likely they make a version that is smaller and more portable to replace the 3DS, despite what they are saying about keeping 3DS support - that's all marketing just like back in the Gameboy/DS era. Why make one that is home console only? They can't compete with Sony and MS on specs, so...

You can get a 200gb one for like $60. There is a huge jump in price for the 256GB because it's the current max capacity manufactured - it will go down in price like the others when the next size comes out, I think SanDisk already demo'd a 1TB version this year. The standard itself supports up to...

This game.

Launch title looks like, or later March.

This Snipperclips game they are showing on stream right now looks dope.

That's going to be a new 3D Mario game, not a port. Dragon Quest 11 is a completely new game. Neither is Monster Hunter - that will be Monster Hunter XX which is a new game. Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 will have new features, based on the Switch trailer. If it just had a new Zelda and 3D Mario...

Going to wait and see on this one. DA:I was disappointing.
