Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I do have to say that it makes me kind of wonder how the scratching possibility wasn't fool-proofed before release. I am sure a lot of people who never scratch their screen while docking during the entire Switch cycle, and while it is up to the consumer to be careful, I have to think that people shouldn't have to worry about docking the screen perfectly every time they do it with little room for error.

Not sure what I wrote here makes sense. Sorry if it doesn't. It sounded right in my head.

It's definitely an oversight. Crazy that people need to go to craft stores to make their hybrid console/handheld work correctly.

On a more positive note, one thing I will say is that I'm using portable way more than I thought. Just playing a game of Zeldas magnificence on a handheld device is pretty cool. Right now I've got my switch on hand while I watch the UFC card and it's just really nice

Me and the wife had to return an item to Target so I figured I stop by electronics. They told me what was shared here already: new stock tomorrow.

Problem is, it's at 8 am. I know there will be a line. And Target is too far for me to get up on a Sunday to spend money.

Hopefully my local GAMESTOP comes through like they suggested they might be able to.


I am sour on some things Nintendo has done here. Release titles. The price. But I know you can't change the first and the latter won't change anytime soon. Zelda looks and sounds amazing. Even if a year from now I find the console to be a disappointment, I'll sell it like I did the 3DS. Won't be at much of a loss.

Same here. I've used it docked 15% of the time so far. I know Zelda is in a league of its own as far as how far they took the visuals for the hardware but I don't feel the need to play it on the big screen. Same goes for snipperclips.

My Wife is not much of a gamer, but we are having some fun with the Snipperclips demo. Will be purchasing the full game.

Just bought Shovel Knight for $10. Fun game! The launch lineup has been great for me.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

And I know it's not popular, but I never got into Zelda. That is the leading reason why I backed out on pre-order. Figured I would wait for a game I want, plus by then they might have some deals.

Either way, I am happy that Zelda looks so good. Personally that's promising for later on for games I would be interested in

I love Zelda it is my favorite video game franchise of all time and this is why I think BOTW could sale 10 million which would be more then any other Zelda game because even people who are not really Zelda fans and Nintendo fans are talking about this game.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Well, there is at least potential for one of those to happen (spoiler: it's not the price point.)



If $50 is killing your drive to pick one up, don't do it.

I won't, if Nintendo is too stubborn to cut a deal this fall like the other two big boys then they just won't get any money from me at all.

This system has taken over my house. Love how easy it is for my kids to load up Zelda and it be their save. No logging in and out or anything.

I know I've been there. But you should know by now that Nintendo doesn't care what Sony and Microsoft are doing. They never have. But I'm sure they are devastated that you are skipping out

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I'll say this, I bought this console for my 6 year old son and I agree there's no games right now. Besides Zelda there's absolutely nothing to buy worth it. Nintendo should've at least released this console with a MARIO game as well. I'm scratching my head at Nintendo releasing this console with one good game to buy. And now these pics surfacing showing scratched screens is also a head scratcher. Hopefully Nintendo actually gets better 3rd party support for this console.

I love Nintendo, like many of you I grew up on the NES and SNES so it's not as if I just hate the company for some petty reason but for me I don't think I'll ever buy a Switch. I got burned on the WiiU and before that the Wii, the game library was just garbage and they seemed to bail on the system way too early so it's insanely hard for me to give them another $300 knowing full well that outside of Mario there isn't another first party franchise that I play. I've never been into Zelda, Metroid or Donkey Kong so I'd be buying a $300 system for a Mario game or 2 and then watch as it collects dust. I know launch lineups are usually rather average at best but if I buy Sony or Microsoft I can sit back knowing full well the games will come but with Nintendo all I know is they might release a first party title I like about once every 6-9 months and nothing else, in other words I have zero confidence in Nintendo anymore.

I've prob put in at least over 20 hrs into the game. Unlocked some of the map but i have to say this.

There is NEVER a dull moment the game SOOOOOOOOO dense I cant believe what i'm playing sometimes.

Without going into spoilers I'll say this Nintendo did NOT cheap out or ignore any nook and cranny. Where theres a lull theres just beautiful beautiful (what it appears to be) hand drawn nature textures. Its just SO amazing that i can't believe sometimes that they would actually do something like this...

Xenoblade chronicles dev Monolith REALLY put their wii Version of xenoblade chronicles stamp on this the way retro studios did with metroid.

Xenobalde chroncilces was a game that was the only game at its time that was able to capture this absolutely huge world or exploration where EVERYTHING looked different.

I am absorbed by this game and i loved the Uncharted games played the heck out of skyrim and they just cant compare its almost sad to say but the hype is really real guys...

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

My only real disappointment will be seeing the two months it took me to put 36 hours into Skyrim just sit there.

I'm sure I'll still play but it's probably going to take me much longer to put in another 36 hours.

Assuming I can get a Switch soon.
