When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Is Skyward Sword worth playing? Should I just get a WiiU and play both Zeldas on that?

I think it's fun to play, but if your favorite thing about Zelda is wandering around the overworld then it's not the game for you because that part was missing.

i was kinda shocked at the launch line up of

12Switch
Arms
Zelda

that's pretty anemic.

then a lot of the games in production was more games in planning that sounded like they just decided to make them yesterday with no trailer or just a microsoft pending cancelation style trailer.

price is rough but not a deal breaker, but i feel like they over delivered on tech in the controllers and they should have just saved on price and left a lot of that out.

as a presentation i'd give it 5/10. i'm still buying but i'm not hype

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Can't wait to get a Switch in 2019 after a price drop and Zelda, Splatoon 2, Shin Megai Tensei V, No More Heroes 3, and Xenoblade 2 are released for it!

Translators getting fired as poo poo, complete bombshell of open world dimension-hopping mario with oddjob powers and dapper bowser, The Most Bullshit Incredible Zelda Ever Oh My God, and also Splat2n I guess.

Also gently caress all y'all moaning about the Switch launching with only Zelda, you won't need another game for at least a month.

I loved Chronicles but didn't play X at all, is it really that bad? Like how did they gently caress it up should I skip it completely?

I loved X, but other people hate it.

It's a lengthy series of fetch quests in a fully-explorable world. I don't really give a poo poo about the plot, though, I was all "I want to see if I can get to the top of that mountain in the end-game continent here in Chapter 4 with my party that shouldn't go more than a few steps away from the hub area" and setting other arbitrary challenges for myself like that. If you're not one of those "make your own fun" types, it is not the game for you because the story missions are kind of terrible.

what I'm seeing is that it will be worth buying at 300 USD given what they've shown but there's not exactly a rush to do so given the fact that it launches with like 1 game

That's pretty much where i'm at. I'm super into the new Zelda, but i'll take it running worse if it means not investing into a whole new console.

Will get it with Spla2n launch or on Black Friday.

It should be no surprise to anyone with a passing familiarity with joycons that pocky is the ideal food to snack on when playing mentioned object (although 'playing' is an inappropriate word, because you experience, rather than play, a joycon; I shall use 'playing' for the sake of simplicity). For those ignorant to the intricacies of this fine Japanese cuisine, imagine a delicate stick of sweetened bread about the width and length of a chopstick, its tip coated in the richest chocolate imaginable. The bold flavor of the chocolate is complimented by the small nuts that caress the tip, creating a culinary juxtaposition of sweetness and saltiness that can only have been hatched in the mind of a chef versed in the subtle paradoxes of Eastern cooking. They are light and easy to eat and hold, useful for joyconning on the go, and their sugar content add that extra boost for late night joycons. Therefore, pocky has garnered itself the precious title of "Ultimate Joycon Snack". Perhaps the only drawback of pocky is its limited availability in the West, though this cannot be attributed to the snack itself, but the infuriating baboons that think they are running grocery stores.
