So there is a chance Zelda runs better on Wii U?

I'm not sure really.

Went to two Gamestop's. A Best Buy. A target and a toys r us. All sold out

Wait...what??? Thought you the HUGE Nintendo and Zelda fan pre-ordered? Shouldn't you be playing Zelda instead of searching stores??? LOL.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Looking forward to your impressions of the system and Zelda, buddy

Console wise, I love the idea and the concept despite not being a handheld/portable gamer at all. Had the 3DS for two months if that back in 2012 and owned the original GameBoy for a few years back in the late 80's, early 90's. The ability to do both is great. It's all going to come down to the execution by Nintendo.

Zelda is looking more and more like my summer game. Too many games to play right now. Quarter one for 2017 is stacked for me personally. Thankfully, April-August looks dead for me as of right now. Only negative that I have read about Zelda is the bad frame rate when docked which is disappointing. Hoping that by the time I play it, Nintendo will patch the issue.

It's killing me not having the new shiny toy. Lol. I'm sure I'd somewhat enjoy the zelda games too.

I don't buy at release anymore, but I'm feeling the same way...thankfully my son's not patient enough for it, but eventually it'll be a good family system

I've only played it 10 minutes and it's pretty crazy in how powerful it is a portable. Of course it's not PS4/Xbone but it's definitely super crisp on its built in screen. I was honestly expecting worse for some reason.

PSA:

@Wario64
Apparently Blaster Master Zero isn't compatible with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, lol. Why is that even a thing?

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Picked mine up at lunch and was able to play about 20 minutes of BOTW.

The Switch is heavier than I thought it would be. A very nice put together kit.

I also bought the Switch case along with the screen protector. I figure this is going to be a necessity when traveling.

I bought the Switch with the grey joy-cons and it looks like a premium product, unlike the 3DS (which looks more like a toy). I wouldn't be embarrassed at all playing this while waiting at the doctor's office or taking it on the plane. Looking forward to those long weekends in Chicago visiting the in-laws now.

Set-up is quick and seamless. The screen is beautiful.

It'll take some time getting use to where the controls are on this. I'm sure I'll be playing a lot on the handheld in bed or on the couch. I am looking forward to picking up the pro controller, once I'm able to locate one.

BOTW in my very early play is definitely quite impressive. I love the art design and the controls are very nice. There's a lot to remember, but in time hopefully it'll become second nature. The world is massive and I anticipate I'll be playing this game for months and months. Awesome exploration game.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

A couple more impressions.....

The joy-cons are simple enough to take on and off, but I'd be a little concerned about dropping the Switch when taking them off. More so with younger kids handling it. I'd recommend taking them off over a couch or table.

The joy-cons feel pretty cheap compared to the tablet. Hopefully they hold up as replacements are expensive.

I thought the placement for the headphone jack at the top was a little strange. Would have preferred it at the bottom.

I can see the hinge where you put the games in snapping off if you or someone who using it is a little rough with it.

The kickstand is indeed flimsy and I'm wondering if a padded case is available as I worried about it falling if bumped or not secure. Turbulence on a plane would definitely cause it to fall.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Watching a feed of Zelda on the Switch; why does everything look like you're looking at it through a white tint? Almost like a fog or something.. It ruins the contrast I think...

No Switch for me today even though I preordered on January 13th. Un ****ing believable.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Dock / clumsily attaching Joycons easily scratching the screen, be careful/get a protector

Hope none of you have all the problems this Game Informer editor is having. Seems he can't use the Switch at all in his game room.
