  2. Maaaannn. I wasted 8 hours today in BotW and I feel that I haven’t even scratched the surface. Will I ever beat this game lol.

      • I wish I could say. I played like 20 minutes last night (I explored the temple of time and all that, basic first hour stuff), but I’ve been at stupid school all day and I won’t be home and be able to play for another hour and a half or so….
        Going to school for 7 hours a day is one thing, but having to stick around an hour early and 2 hours after it ends is really really boring

          • Speaking of. Bokoblins are NASTY. Like seriously, I didn’t even consider them a threat because of past Zelda games, but I went into a den thinking nothing of it, and got slaughtered ruthlessly. I won eventually but it was one of the most intense Zelda fights I’ve ever done. AGAINST A TRIBE OF BOKOBLIN

          • After a couple of hours you’re glad it’s just a tribe of bokoblins! There’s a particular enemy that’s really nasty, it kils you in the most weird way ever, and running away doesn’t help.

          • Unlocked three towers, did 11 shrines and did some stuff to unlock the way to experience the story, but still a lot to go. Not anywhere near tackling a dungeon lol.

          • So I take it the game’s a time commitment? That’s awesome. I was hoping that it would take forever (and I mean that in the best way possible).

          • It certainly does. Can’t say how long it will take though, because everyone’s play experience is different. I would say if you wanted to get a good shot at beating the final boss you could do it in 20-30 hours, but there’s much stuff to explore and to figure out for yourself. There’s zero handholding, so most of the time you’re on your own. There is some good guidance however, if you need that type of structure in your games.

          • I went a bit northwest but then went east like the game suggests you should do. Where you first jump off doesn’t really matter a lot, since the fast travel system is easy and you’ll be travelling around a bit at first. But it’s better to go east since you have to unlock something that can be used during exploration, or else you’ll have to backtrack everything.

          • I will eventually. I want to do a bunch of stuff before I start getting hooked on the story. I’m afraid that I won’t want to continue if I finish the story.

  5. I need to say some stuff about the switch launch and such.

    First, I had an absolute blast with the fans last night. I went into GS like an hour and a half early, and people are just striking up random conversations about Nintendo stuff and it’s awesome. You don’t just see that in regular life for me, I only know two people who like nintendo personally and so I love going to launches and having fun with random fans. This whole experience has made me realize: I’m not bad at making friends like I thought. I’m just bad at making friends with people who aren’t open about their interests.

    Switch itself, feels awesome. One minor complaint: I haven’t actually played with it, but when I felt the joycon in the grip, the ZR and ZL buttons felt oddly played. Pro controller feels perfect, glad I picked that up. I will say though, the buttons are unnecessarily huge. It’s not a complaint per se, but it’s odd nonetheless.

    Also can confirm, game carts do taste bad. Staying up till 3 makes me do impulsive things…

    • Hey, remember when you said that you can’t make a long text about your experiences with Pokemon, you just did that but with Zelda and the switch ;^)

      Also good luck trying to beat this Zelda, I heard it’s hard :p

      • Oh yeah, it’s tough.

        You want long text about pokemon? Fine.

        • If you practice enough you can write faster on a phone than on a keyboard, but yeah… Keyboards are way more comfortable.

          Reply

          • I’m not too bad with a phone keyboard but I’m definitely much MUCH more used to a keyboard.

  7. I got Breath of the Wild! I made a space for it (and all future Switch games) on my shelf and I couldn’t be more excited. I also have Super Bomberman R coming tomorrow, so I’ll have lots to do for quite a long while. I’m still missing something important though…you know, the system itself. Nothing’s changed with the status of that order. Sorry customer service, I normally don’t like pestering but this is annoying…

          • I’m not really a fan of screen protectors so I’ll just be careful with it. I’m sure I’ll use it in the dock 99.9% of the time anyway, so I won’t be taking it out and putting it back in multiple times a day like these reviewers are.

          • I’m fine with screen protectors as long as they put them on right. When I got my ipad the guy at best buy said that he would put it on to make sure it was aligned properly, and he did a horrible job and now I have to live with this asymmetry.

      • I pre-ordered with Amazon and it’s been in the “preparing for shipment” and “shipping soon” stage for well over a day. It still says it’s being delivered today, though. I asked customer service what was going on and they said it should be shipping very shortly, but that was early yesterday morning.

        • Hmm sucks. It’s the same with my pro controller. Good thing that the joy-cons in the grip are better than expected for me.

          Reply

          • I hope they aren’t as squishy as the Wii U buttons, those wore horrible to click down. I prefer my thight buttons.

          • No, I mean they’re softer. The Wii U buttons have more give, they’re much more press-able, if that makes sense. As opposed to 3DS buttons, which are hard and don’t go down much

          • Yeah the Switch’s are tiiiiny. But I have relatively small hands so it’s ok. Have to say I like the split dpad for Zelda, makes it easy quickselect the right thing.

          • I find more comfortable using analogs for platforms rather than joysticks tho

          • I can imagine that. Luckily the Pro controller has a real dpad but good luck when playing in the car…

          • My birthday is a week from today so I think I’m going to ask for a Pro Controller and a set of red Joy-cons. I couldn’t finance those myself 😛

  8. I had one big technical issue with my Switch already:
    Was playing BotW when suddenly the game crashes. Sent back to home. Try to reboot, same error page and sent to home. Turns out the system had electronically ejected the SD card which contained the update data. System asked for a reboot in which it couldn’t detect the card anymore, so I had to manually reinsert it and then everything was fine again. I was worried for a bit that my save was corrupted though.

    • I heard that early versions of consoles usually have this kind of problems, a good example is the PS4…

      Reply

      • This is why I never buy a console on release and wait until the next version. That and I can rarely afford it anyway.

        Reply

    • It’s much more rough around the edges than I expected it would be, but just compare the 3DS of 2011 to the 3DS of 2017. I think about the amazing potential this system will have later in its lifespan, possibly through revisions or add-ons.

  11. I have to say, Walmart really came through for me where Amazon failed. Breath of the Wild was removed from Amazon until release day (genius move folks), but I was able to smoothly pre-order the game from Walmart and get it today without any hassle. I’ll definitely use them again.

  12. When I sleep at the midnight and woke up on 7 o’clock and decide to sleep a little bit …….then I woke up at 8 pm ………is that a price to be a dark person …..damit I miss the sun how can I escape from this hell?

  13. I’m debating to put my Switch games on the ‘console (Wii, Wii U, PS4) shelf’ or the ‘handheld (DS, 3DS, PSVita) shelf’. It feels more like a console to me, but the game boxes blend in better with the smaller cases. What’s everyone else doing?

    Reply

    • I’m giving the Switch a whole compartment to itself for now, since I know I’m going to get a crapton of games for it and the cases are all very thin. My 3DS and Wii U areas are all full anyway, I wouldn’t want to cram.

  15. I hope I can get a Switch before Mario Kart comes out. Anxiously waiting for this pre-order period at GameStop to end (GameStop is only selling to those who pre-ordered atm), and then hoping there is still some stock left over so I can go buy it.

      • Thats actually what I wanted to say They are based on Constellations

        Astral- Is based on Cancer the Crab why the title is Green and Rust colored is thats the color of the Cancer Nebula

        Stellar- Is based on Capricorn the ram and its logo color is because the nebula is Orange and Purple

        The trio in this are the Star trio as they are based on: Three different Stars

  20. I love how when you get the Super Rod, your mom questions why Looker gave it to you, to which he replies:

    “I will answer this magnificent question of yours! Absolutely nothing!”

  23. Honestly, all of these Switch hardware problems completely blindsided me. I never expected in my wildest dreams that it could be THIS bad, with issues of all varieties. Whenever mine decides to show up, I’m actually terrified to open it up. That shouldn’t be the case.
