I will comment on one thing, the framerate. The game runs at 30FPS like I expected, but I noticed that the frame drops were very noticable. I hope this is just the same early build from New York, before the game went gold, cause if these frame drops are in the final game, that will definitely hurt my experience for this game when it comes out.

There are noticeable framerate dips even in the newest video clips from japanese BotW site. Tons of particle effects on the screen (during the explosions or water splashes, etc) always initiates slowdowns. Looks like developers can't fix it at all.

I'll tell you what makes the framerate jumpy: grass effect. Whenever I'm around large amount of grass it dips.

Lucky, you nearly had no lines! Haven't really checked if there are any events here in the Netherlands...
*goes check* Ahh yeah, will be out that weekend :|

I still won't see the pro as a necesity until I get to try the joycons myself, although the directional buttons are a big turn off...

I thought Snipper Clips was confirmed to have online...

And Arms looks like, with any form of single player mode, it will be worth 50 or 60.

Nothing is confirmed about Snipperclips online, they didn't even talk about it. So probably it won't.

Thanks for sharing this, Ultra! Great read :)

The only thing that worries me is frame rate drops in Zelda. It's not a deal-breaker for me -- my favorite game runs at 20fps -- but definitely an annoyance. Let's hope it's an outdated build.

You ever play a Vita? How does it compare in comfort?

Zelda doesn't use HD rumble.

Nice OP. Well done.

I'm pretty sure SMB3 and later Ocarina of Time were Nintendo's most anticipated games of ALL time.


But those are some solid impressions of Switch.

Did you get a look at Bomberman? People have been saying it looks n runs badly.
Also the non-offset sticks on the Joycons weren't a problem for you while playing Splatoon?
