Going to wait after I have a job before I get mine. But I'm already sold just what I've heard about Zelda. If it's nothing like ANY of the other 3D Zelda games as much as people are saying it is, then that's a really good sign that this comes close to how I've envisioned a real Zelda game should play. The lack of handholding has me curious.

The system is good and bad. The form factor, screen, controls are all pretty neat. I don't mind the interface but under the simple design is a lot of head scratching choices. Assigning controllers for Bomberman is dumb.

Be sure to fully power down and power up your system when you get the update for 2.0 so you can unfucker your left Joycon.

Zelda is neat so far. Just kinda wandering, which is nice.

Bomberman is Bomberman. Controls aren't tight but it's still Bomberman.

Yeah, Bomberman looked sadly underwhelming. Would it have killed Konami to aim for surpassing the Saturn game?

Sucks I already have I Am Setsuna on PS4. Experience would have been better if I could take it in another room without a Vita. Zelda and ARMS are so far the most interesting things that I've seen footage of that looks worthy of picking up, but with a new Shin Megaten coming, along with a lot other JRPGs, it seems like a no-brainer for someone like me.

Blaster Master Zero that comes out in a few days looks at least a little interesting-- nothing that makes the Switch any more or less of a must-have system, but I suppose if you already have one and the NES game interested you at all, it's something to check out.

Great moments in shit hardware: I was having an issue with the left controller sticking and disconnecting. The fix I found was... moving the system 6 inches so it was in front of my TV instead of behind it. GG Nintendo.

Yeah, I've seen people saying that putting the Switch in the middle of a room by itself with just a TV is the best way to prevent connectivity issues.

Any idea why it's always the left joycon that has the issues? Seems weird to me.

why in this day and age is it having connectivity issues? I can hardly believe how this thing has rolled out, it's so bad and I can't be the only one that sees the problem of having to buy a separate pro controller right?

Well I guess that was the same case for wii, and wii u but from what I've felt the joycon is even worse than the wiimote especially when you take them off the handheld portion. Just looks like a scam to get as much shit as they can from you with their inferior hardware.

That being said though I get why they went this route, Mobile gaming is huge in japan now and Nintendo is looking to capture that market, but I think they're going to miss the mark I would had gotten a switch if there was 1 good thing about it, from the specs it just seems like to me it's either mediocre or out right bad. I would had preferred a better longer battery life than anything.

From what I understood Nintendo was able to stay a loft so far thanks to it's hand helds, but I think it might had been a mistake trying to turn their home console -into- a hand held when they still have 3DS. Either way I'd still prefer that they stick around and out live MS and Sony, but I'm really just hoping there's a big industry crash again and we can get some good games coming out by the time I'm an old man with some kids.

Speaking as someone who has zero interest I will say this looks pretty bad and you should just get a game gear and make a podcast again

To be fair the switch does have better battery life than your Prius you're always talking about

Well, I may regret it for a few months, but despite every terrible thing I'm hearing about the Switch, I'm seriously considering splurging on one and a copy of Zelda as a graduation gift. Zelda looks too good, and I'm going to have a free week after graduating where I'm not going to feel a whole lot like coding PHP.

...mind you, I haven't owned any console within the first year of launch since the SNES. It's normally a rule of mine, but Zelda alone will keep me busy for a while. ARMS is coming at SOME point in the next few months, and there's a few RPGs that have been announced, so... yeah, I'm weak I guess.
