We're almost there :o

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Zelda and Switch previews are dropping

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Hype!!

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

I haven't been this excited for a Zelda game since.... Well, if I'm being honest since Skyward Sword because that's how I do, but this one really seems like its going to be special and not just "OoT, but with this gimmick instead" like pretty much all of the Zeldas have been since OoT.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Previews indicate that this game is The One.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Yep. Ready to make the Switch to 9th generation.

This will be the first time in a long time that I forgo buying all consoles (Scorpio and PS4 Pro)- simply because I can still play the same games on my XBONE and/or PS4.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

I'd be more interested in a PS4 pro if I had more control over the "improved" performance of each game.

If I could choose between an increase resolution or an increased frame rate, that would be nice. As it is you're at the whim of the game developer. Some give you a choice, some don't.

Really robust and solid selection of indie games for the year

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Well, got my Switch and Breath of the Wild yesterday. So far, an amazing game.

The Switch itself though...the left joycon sync issue is real and it's extremely annoying. I'm starting to think Nintendo may eventually have to replace them.

Aside from that, there are a few other quality issues that concern me. The process of sliding the switch into the dock is not as smooth or seamless as it should be. It kind of wobbles in there. There are some pictures out there of screens that have been scuffed by the dock itself. It's not a part of the screen that shows an image, but still annoying. It probably wouldn't be an issue if the screen were glass, but it's plastic. Makes it less durable and less responsive than what people are used to on high end smart phones.

Other minor complaints are that the kickstand feels kind of flimsy, clicking it all the way out feels like you're going to break it. The little flap that covers where you insert a game doesn't click into place.

If I had to make a recommendation, I would say that the current switch is like the original GBA or DS. Unless you are a big Nintendo fan like me who wants to play their games ASAP, I'd wait for the GBA SP/DS Lite equivalent.

And whatever you do don't buy a second pair of joycons, they're kinda garbage.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Yeah, I noticed the issue with the left Joycon as well in my half hour trying the grip. I found it was my left index finger on the trigger blocking the signal. That Joycon was completely unresponsive when I held my finger a certain way. I had to kind of hold my finger away in a ready position if I felt like I needed to hit the trigger soon. I wasn't able to replicate it with the right side.

I've mainly been using the Pro Controller, though, so it hasn't affect me much. Definitely disappointing, though.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

I've had left joycon issues as well... seems to be interference on my end depending on the angle.

I don't mind the Joycons... mostly fine for Zelda in the dock and sometimes free flowing, but may get a Pro Controller as well.

I like the system overall, but I feel like the OS is super basic. Like it seems to lack that Nintendo charm they had with previous systems.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

The joy cons just make me second guess buying ARMS. I'm going to need another set of joy cons to be able to play multiplayer with it, and I'm super hesitant to buy something where half the package is defective.

Also, and this is a pretty big one, I was pretty pumped to play indie games on the go with the switch, but the lack of a d-pad on the left one really hinders your ability to play 2D games. The Pro controller has a d-pad, but I won't be carrying it around with me.

As for the OS, I think we're going to see that change rapidly. It's pretty obvious, I think, that the Switch was rushed out super fast to get into this financial year for Nintendo. It explains why so many features are missing at launch.

Re: Nintendo Switch
 

Yeah I'm missing the fun little apps that the U and 3DS had at launch. Now it's just BotW and... the options menu. :p

But Botw is amazing, so it's all good. <3
