I can't believe Jimmy Fallon holds the fate of Hyrule in his hands.

Edit: I remember how excited he was whacking that Stalfos in a Skyward Sword demo like five years ago.

That looked amazing and it looks smooth portably too. The Switch is going to be the best thing.

You'd think the PS Vita or the 3DS would have done that. Maybe having the Switch as the main console and forcing people who want a Nintendo to have a portable device is what will do it.

If anything, the Switch is gonna force people who want a Nintendo console to have a home one.

Same, and I am happy about that. Having said that, I fear that there is going to be a shortage of the fuckers in March and I won't be able to get one for some time. Not a big deal, but frustrating.

That's going to be the coolest poo poo, I hope we get some way to get 3DS games on there too if the screen is touch. One unified device that holds everything Nintendo would rule.

I just watched SMD64's analysis of the frame rates from BotW's GA footage, and I've come to the conclusion that I can't see framerates.

Which was freaky then cool. But a bunch of film snobs cried because it wasn't what they are used to and called it bad.

In the GameXplain video they slowed it down to a third of speed and in the explosion you sorta see the Wii U version stop and skip a few times while the Switch continued moving smooth in the slowmo.

I'm all about the Mario games and supposedly there will be one at launch, I just think that there will be another Nintendo Hardware Shortage (tm) and I won't be able to get one unless I camp out all night (not bloody happening) or buy one for $2,000 from some oval office on eBay (also not happening).

They'll have preorders for it. They didn't for the NES mini because they thought it was a niche system. This is their main bread and butter.

I realized recently that the laser arrow in this game seems to be a separate thing tied to a normal arrow. If you look at the BOTW archer amiibo, it's more noticeable.

I wonder if this means the ammo is interchangeable, like you have a laser/fire/ice knife that you can melee with, or strap it to an arrow or spear.

Which is hard for me since I like to 100% every other Zelda game.

Just settle for completing the figurines and call that 100%. On virtual console you can savescum. The roll is the same each time but you can use it to spend the minimum needed points to get a new figurine.

It took me two full tries through the game to do it, but I finally did it once. It probably will involve traveling all over the world to see which fellow in the corner you missed. Good luck!!
