    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I feel like Wii wasn't worth losing as much power as the system lost for motion control. The Wii U wasn't worth the lack of specs for the touch screen controller. I think the loss of specs for the ability to take it in the go is a fair trade. And the system is technically modern. I think this...

    I might just wait for new batches of joy-cons to go out and buy one, and replace it with mine and return it.

    Wasn't PS4 made mostly out of laptop parts? IIRC it wasn't cutting edge, and neither was the XB1. I think MS and Sony stopped doing that with the problems the PS360 generation had. The mid-gen refreshes are a whole different thing on their own, so we'll see how that goes. I suspect Nintendo...

    Overall yeah, I'd still wait a while until games come out though. Mario Kart is next month, then ARMs, then Splatoon, then probably more stuff announced at E3. By then I'm sure the joycon issue will be fixed.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    IIRC, Nintendo basically builds their gameplay and shit first. And when that's done they're like, "Shit I guess we need a story." So they make up some shit to along with the gameplay. I feel like it works pretty well for them usually. I honestly don't think there was a time line until they...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I can understand wanting more "walk in" dungeons rather than just shrines everywhere. When I say walk in, I mean more like the castle in BoTW. The dungeons on the beasts felt more like brain teasers or solving a puzzle than a true Zelda dungeon. Same with the Shrines. So yeah, I do hope we see...

    Aonuma said himself that he thinks he can top this one. I wonder what he has in mind? I expect the next one or two main Zelda games will be a refinement of BOTW's formula.

    Downed Calamity Ganon. I think I might do some side quests and find the rest of the shrines before I put it down for good. Aint no body got time to find 900 Korok seeds, though. That shit is for the truly autistic.

    Is this from some kind newfangled video game? What am I looking at here?

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I feel like what sets this game apart from most (and what sets most Nintendo games apart usually) is that it doesn't take itself to seriously. Instead of just being a game you play, it's a game you can play WITH. Just learning about how things interact by itself is fun as hell. Not to mention...

    So apparently he lied about the DDOS? That's what I'm hearing on the grapevine anyway. BoTW isn't without flaws, but it isn't a 7 by any means.

    So I just tried this and it seems to have fixed my Switch's left joy-con. >_> Will test in the living room later to make sure.

    What I was saying that it wasn't created specifically for kids. Of course kids are going to play it, though. I'm just saying that the aesthetic of it is made to attract teens and adults. When Nintendo usually makes something specifically for kids, it's usually bulky and can survive world wars...

    I guess it depends on how many he has. Still wouldn't be worth it, though. But people like this typically do this type of thing on the side. There are ways around the paypal fee IIRC.

    Lynel is some EverQuest level shit. You go up there expecting to beat a dude's ass for arrows. Turns out he's going to beat YOUR ass and you better grab those arrows and run like a little bitch. Honestly you're not even meant to kill him, but if you did you should consider yourself gangster...

    Weather third parties jump on board will depend on sales over the next few months most likely. We'll see how that goes. I think we'll at least see Madden, NBA, Call of Duty, and a few of the other annual franchises. We'll have to see on some of the more demanding games. It'll depend on how well...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I honestly don't think this thing was really designed specifically for little kids. Usually when they make something specifically for kids, it's bulky for duability. This was made for non-enthusiast adults who don't always have access to their TVs, or are always on the go or spend a lot of time...

    I think the best you can hope for this year is that they fix the joy-con issue, and maybe make sure their docks are straight. I'd still suggest a screen protector anyway for general use. I still get screen protectors for my phone. People getting those things stuck on their joy cons are idiots.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    That video is a great example of why this game is so amazing. Everything can be interacted with to an insane point. You can manipulate the world and solve puzzles in such amazing ways that I can't even begin to describe how crazy it is. I don't know how they'll top this game. It's like Super...

    Where the fuck are the other I'm still only one boss in (ADHD as fuck) but you'd think I'd have found another one by now.

    So seems my left Joycon has the issue. Happens when I sit by my coffee table that has glass on it. Tried it from 20 feet back as well and it acted up a bit. Hopefully Nintendo does a replacement thing eventually.

    I should probably test mine soon. Hopefully if it's a widespread issue Nintendo will offer replacements.

    So I just noticed that if you kill one wolf, the rest of the pack bails the fuck out. That's a really cool detail.

    Fuck it, might as well review it. So I'm a Nintendo fan, but I think most people here know that. In my mind, Nintendo is kind of like the yin to the rest of the industries yang. I feel like while Nintendo makes more bright, colorful games, the rest of the industry makes the games aimed at...

    I'm gonna write up a review later tonight. I really like the system, but there are some negatives and I'll probably go over those.

    I only notice the lack of AA in portable mode. On the TV it seems to have some form of AA. Wonder if that's what causes the performance difference? Anyway, can someone tell me where the old man's house is again? I found it once but I've not been able to find it again. :(

    I've noticed some frame drops usually in the grassy areas. I haven't noticed the aliasing though, at least not as badly as I thought it'd be. Not even close.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Honestly, this one seems like such a radical departure that you might as well try it out. If you get tired of playing you can apparently run straight to the boss and try to whoop him anyway.

    Apparently the patch fixes the joycon issue, just make sure your joycons are docked when you update. Also make sure to restart the system again.

    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.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    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.
