I am almost certain HD rumble is not really employed in Breath of the Wild, partially because it was also a Wii U title. You would probably be better off playing Fast RMX or Mario Kart to notice the rumble.

I don't know how that is a negative though, the Switch rumble is at minimum as good as former systems (and better in instances where the HD rumble is fully employed).

But that's cool you're liking it okay. I personally was very impressed with the build quality, sleekness, and comfort of the Switch in the hands. The 3DS felt kind of cheap to me and was extremely awkward for me to comfortable play with its weird joystick and small button layout (for someone with biggish hands). The Switch feels mega comfortable, I was uncertain at first about the two sides of the controls/joycons being so wide apart in handheld mode but it actually is very comfortable. and thank the gods::: BIGGER SCREEN. the 3DS dual screen just felt unecessary to me and the top screen was way too small, even on the XL

That's nice, would like to try the HD rumble for myself so I guess MK8 is the way to go

Welcome Brother.  The Switch is on a gravy train with biscuit wheels.  

...it already is haha

Okay, gonna give it a shot next time I get back on it.

Well time Switch hits 250 price point (next year), we probably won't have stock issues.

Yeah, without even reading anything about it I immediate noticed the rumble in MK8D was different. Not an earth shattering, system selling feature, but it was cool.

All I could complain about if I had to do it is the e-shop. It's just a waste land right now. I know they're going to do more with it but come on already. Even a launch 360 had a better e-shop than this thing. lol

Cool that you're enjoying the machine and that you picked it up regardless of having your doubts and it sounds like you're giving it a good chance for something you weren't thinking could be a good machine.

Regarding the control of the console, have you tried it with joycons split while docked? that is how I play it when docked, as in, One Joy con per hand but not using the grip to tie them together like a traditional controller, I find it really different and more relaxed than holding hands together on my lap.

Do just be careful if you're putting on those little L/R straps though... if you slide the wrong one on the other Joycon it can be pretty damn hard to slide it back off again, as in put the L grip on the Right joycon, it fits on... but really tough to get back off it.
