It's because there are still very few worthwhile games. Zelda is obviously great, but lots of the other games are too simple and SNES-esque. But Mario Kart will arrive in a couple of weeks, and more games will continue to come out, obviously. Do get it, if you have access to one at the end of the month.

Yeah, there is a lot more content for you to get through then. I have completed all 4 and still have tons to get through before I'm going to fight Gannon. Sounds like after you get the help of all 4 divine beasts, the final fight is fairly lackluster. I'm sure you've read about that.

Not touched my Switch since I beat Zelda, come on MK8D hnnnnnnnnnnnng.

there is plenty of stock in my country lol, but it is also almost $100 more expensive here as we dont have any nintendo support in my country. feelsbat.

[rocketfish]

waiting on other games thats why the thread isn't really active at all



I still have not beat zelda, but I only play about 1-2 hours a day at the moment. Looking to get closer to beating it this weekend.




hnngg




this mode in mario kart is going to be straight fire. one more week.

Same here, didn't have much time to play so still a lot to discover.

The patches they released seem to have solved most of the framerate-issues in docked mode. That's a relief since it was really underwhelming the experience at times.

[Pr0No0B]

grey or neon, what do you guys recommend????

I dont like the contrast between red and blue but idk.

I have the neon but if you don't like the contrast it's better you go for grey lol

[lolwhatthefuk]

I hope you early buyers are enjoying it. I might just hold on to my Wii U for a little while longer.

get it soft modded and buy a nes classic remote so you can play nes roms with an nes remote.

[Pr0No0B]

such a shame they went for blue and red combo for neon, if only it was just one colour per system

In Japan you can combine your own colors, f.e.:

What's the best way of giving out handies to find a Switch that is in stock?

[waytoodeep03]

why is this thread dead so fast? Im thinking of buying the console at the end of the month cmon lads, give us some updated impression, its been more than a month.

because most people that have a pc are playing BOTW on it and saving their $500 dollars

[Bladebruh]

Source? "Most people who have pc's are playing breath of the wild on it?".. not sure if srs.

Because of a lot of people on this section don't have a switch.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out Friday. Didn't personally have it for the Wii U gonna pick it up. Gonna be fun with all the new modes and online play.

[midcoastking33]

got mario kart 8 on its way, never got around to it with wii u. only thing that's a bummer is everything is unlocked from the get go; there's something gratifying about playing single player and unlocking new characters/modes yourself

[bchap05]

Had MK8 on Wii U but might buy again for portability factor. I probably play BOTW 90% portable and 10% docked. Even when sitting on couch in front of large TV. Not sure why just easier I love the portability and usually have something on the tv for background noise. Was GOAT during NCAA tourney. Haven't turned on Xone since I got it except for Netflix

[AWillis]

people that cannot afford a switch do that

I did not know this and agree. Kind of bummed to hear this.

yoy have to have a beast to play Wii U games on pic. Also I doubt that game is functional yet

you can sell the Wii U version for like 35

i doubt it, show me a video of an affordable PC running the game at 30fps constantly without drops or glitches.

[rocketfish]

I believe its only golden mario that you have to unlock.

the extra game modes are going to be solid though based on early reviews.

Renegade Roundup in online hhhhnnnnnggggg

I dont doubt that people are playing other consoles/pc while they are waiting for more games to come out for the switch, but they are definitely NOT playing BotW on their pc lol.

I love my switch. 9/10 console for sure. Battery life was my only complaint but I bought a 20000mah power bank and it is a non issue at this point.

Zelda is a 10/10 game. I would look at it as a re-imagining of Zelda. If I look at it as a straight Zelda game, id have to give it a 9/10 based on the lack of some familiar things from the series (music, characters, lack of an ocarina...etc.).

That being said as a new addition to the franchise its the most fun free-roaming game ive played in a long time. There is so much to do.

This is coming from a guy who has almost 100gb in mods for gta5 on his pc.

[MrGreenTea]

Just finished BOTW. Took me over a month and over 125 hours. Got all 120 shrines. 10/10 for me.

[TokenV]

Picked up a copy of MK8 Deluxe yesterday and downloaded Puyo Puyo Tetris on the internal memory (only 1GB).

Still need a lot of time to complete BOTW...

I honestly don't mind the "small" library, since I don' have that much time available to commit to gaming.

Did you use a guide or something? all 120 shrines seems pretty hard to do without

[MrGreenTea]

I looked up the last 4 remaining shrines (and the last 3 memory locations) on google because I lost patience. At that point in the game, it would take many more days of just wandering around looking for them.
