Nintendo Switch
I was able to get my hands on one at Fry's Electronics. Very cool little unit. The quick change act from handheld to TV console is pretty revolutionary. My copy of Zelda will be waiting for me when I get home. More impressions later. Anybody else able to get one?
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Thought long and hard about, but spending 300+ just to play Zelda seems like a poor investment.Superbone wrote:I was able to get my hands on one at Fry's Electronics. Very cool little unit.

Re: Nintendo Switch
Zelda is fantastic so far. Worth it to me. But, it's not just going to be Zelda. Mario Kart in April and then Mario Odyssey at the end of the year.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:Thought long and hard about, but spending 300+ just to play Zelda seems like a poor investment.Superbone wrote:I was able to get my hands on one at Fry's Electronics.

Re: Nintendo Switch
I need a Zelda review on the WiiU. We have one and I don't want to upgrade to the Switch. Anyone knows if it plays ok on the U?

Re: Nintendo Switch
I stood in line at 6am and got one for my wife for her birthday.
We haven't played it very much yet. Zelda looks beautiful and has a very "open" feel, much less linear and hand-held than past Zeldas, thank god. Graphics are phenomenal. Haven't really gotten very far in the game, kind of just wondering around.

Re: Nintendo Switch
I pre-ordered the first day pre-orders were available. There was a mechanical failure or something according to UPS that delayed my shipment Friday. It comes today. I have Zelda and the 1-2 game waiting already for when the console comes, plus a pro controller for when I game on the TV.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
Re: Nintendo Switch
Yeah, pro controller is a must for Zelda. At least for me it is.AmareIsGod wrote:I pre-ordered the first day pre-orders were available.

Re: Nintendo Switch
I didn't realize the pro controllers were going to be so hard to find. I had to drive to a target 75 minutes from my house to get one. But it was well worth it. So far, Zelda is wonderful. Much more open-world than I ever expected. I haven't played a Zelda game since N64, but up to that point I played every non-gameboy version.

You missed out on A Link Between Worlds on the DS then. Great game.Indy wrote:I didn't realize the pro controllers were going to be so hard to find.

Oh, my bad. I did play that on the 3DS. It was a great game. I don't know how I forgot that!carey wrote:You missed out on A Link Between Worlds on the DS then.

Re: Nintendo Switch
By the way, if you haven't played Shovel Knight, you are totally missing out. That game is fantastic. And $25.
Re: Nintendo Switch
Shovel Knight is awesome. There is a real boom of great indie games that cost $5-25 each and are loads of fun.
Re: Nintendo Switch
And you really get at least 4 games for that $25 with Shovel Knight.
Re: Nintendo Switch
By the way, I took the Switch with my on my work trip last week, and after the meetings finally were over each day, and then the mandatory cocktail hour, followed by dinner, I spent too much time each night on Zelda. It is so wide open. It is great.
Re: Nintendo Switch
I always end up hearing Harrison Ford's voice when I read your posts, and this particular one was pretty funny. I had a mental image of indiana Jones on a hotel bed playing Zelda.Indy wrote:By the way, I took the Switch with my on my work trip last week, and after the meetings finally were over each day, and then the mandatory cocktail hour, followed by dinner, I spent too much time each night on Zelda.
