Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I broke down and got a switch

FallingTitan on 11 March 2017

gratz! I will join you in 4 years!!! Not liking any of the games on the switch currently as well. Even selling my wii U BOTW half way complete. I guess im not a zelda fan anymore? grew out of it? who knows but every other zelda i've beat and played 2x etc. I even have hyrule historia! hahaha


but botw i can't take it. to me its not zelda. its a witcher wannabe and witcher is amazing.

with the botw cash i will buy MASS EFFECT releasing soon. 21? hope it doesn't disappoint!

Welcome to the dark (light?) side my friend..

I didn't quite jump the Nintendo ship the way you did but I certainly was nowhere near the deticated Nintendo fan I was during the Wii U era and even the second half of the Wii era (post NSMB pretty much), but I'm pretty much fully back on board with the Switch. Nintendo really outdid themselves this time.. My only real gripes are a somewhat short battery life and a current lack of games - and especially of physical releases. Thankfully Zelda is massive enough that it'll probably single handedly keep me busy for a solid month.

So did I. I quit smoking, hard drugs and gambling, but buying a Switch and BOTW has been a literal death sentence.

LOL how so? Are you overwhelmed with games?

Because Zelda is so addictive. It's a time sink, a black hole, its a compulsively addictive micro rewards mechanism. 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Congratulations and enjoy!  Besides Zelda, Fast RMX and Blaster Master Zero are great...

Got this today as something completely different from Zelda, one thing I'll say about it, if you go into the game with the standard controller setup you will find yourself in a bit of issue when it comes to multiplayer using half a joycon or... single joycon I mean. It seems like you have to start the game off using the single Joy and then when you go into the multiplayer start up the other one seperately.

Such a lovely game though, nice clone of FZero X and cool swap mechanic to get boosts, really keeps it from being just a boring racer in a new way.

(odd fps drops at times undocked, but... yeah I mean it's a €20 tech demo basically, it will fill my racing needs until the 28 of April.)
