I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
The Master edition comes with a Switch carrying case. I haven't seen any mention of there being a WiiU equivalent. I'm guessing it's for Switch.

I preordered Zelda from best buy as well but I'm hoping we find out more about the eShop before then. I'd rather download it than buy a cart to be honest

Yeah! gently caress that guy for not wanting to pay hundreds of dollars for obsolete hardware, he probably doesn't have a job!

As I said, new consoles have cost that much for two decades.

They "sold out" on best buy and walmart a couple times apparently. The multicolored switch is no longer listed on Gamestop.

Absolutely, sure. Like yeah Sony and Microsoft's consoles aren't state of the art on release but they're not 8-10 years behind. Point is the switch is nearly a generation behind and priced at parity with the top of the line offerings from their competitors. So like, a bad deal.

I noticed the in store pickup options for BB dried up really fast. Can't believe I missed the pre order for the Master on amazon At least I got it on GS. The next week will be interesting, especially if all the pre-orders completely dry up for everything. Guessing the Master edition is going to be scalped at $300 plus. I hope the sword is as cool as the Trico statue.

do we even know what it's actual specs are because I have seen nothing that isn't a leak.

I've seen stuff like internal storage and the resolution of the console screen itself, but nothing about how powerful it is that isn't "HE TELL ME" level yet.

I don't understand why it isn't. Nintendo must realise part of the huge success of the Wii as a platform was providing a free pack-in game that shows off all the new and unique features of the platform.

I heard that the switch doesn't have enough flops inside of it to have good games, can anyone confirm or deny?

The Switch isn't "8-10 years behind" either though

Like if you only consider tri count of course the Switch will look like a bad deal. It makes more sense if you consider the hardware that's not part of the SOC

Just pre ordered Zelda special addition for the Wii U on Amazon, even though the picture shows the Switch stuff. Curious when that will update.

Nintendo's tried making flops before, they just don't sell

the other thing is that there are several Nintendo studios that are working on games that we just don't know about. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't just tease them, but they're really stupid about "NO WE CANT ANNOUNCE STUFF THAT'S TOO FAR AWAY"

for example:

Retro: we know they're working on something (rumored to be a new IP). i don't think it's ARMS, which is listed on Nintendo's site as being developed by Nintendo internally
Game Freak: besides the rumored Pokemon Stars, they have an early access game on PC called Giga Wrecker
Intelligent Systems: was a very busy developer for 3DS. IPs they handle... Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Pushmo, Warioware, Codename STEAM.
HAL: You know they got some Kirby stuff brewin'
Good-Feel: Yoshi's Wooly World developer, has been doing StreetPass minigames to keep the lights on
Alphadream: Mario & Luigi RPG series, which will look fuckin dope in HD
Jupiter: Picross Picross Picross Picross Picross. They put out 9 picross games on 3DS alone. Can't wait for larger puzzles from the larger resolution. Gonna be good!!!
Skip Ltd: Art Style/Bit Generations developer, as well as Chibi Robo Zip Lash. also, GIFTPIA and Captain Rainbow, not that we'd know about them :/
Level 5: frequent Nintendo partner, already developing Lady Layton and Snack World for 3DS this year. No doubt prepping three thousand Yo-Kai Watch games.
syn Sophia: Style Savvy dev. you know you want to be a fashion queen
indieszero: this goofy-named dev handled NES Remix 1, 2, and Ultimate. They're also known for Retro Game Challenge, Electroplankton, and developed Theatrhythm for Square-Enix.
Platinum: let's face it, if Nintendo isn't going to bail them out then no one is.

like, there's so many divisions of Nintendo, and affiliates, and companies who have partnerships with Nintendo. the only way none of those dev houses are working on Switch games is if they're flat out defunct (which may happen to Platinum after Nier 2 :| )

Based on the pixels my guess is $50 Chinese tablet and a GeForce 4.

Ausgoons, the Master's Edition for Breath of the Wild is up on EB Games. It's $189AU, for the version with the Master Sword statue. We aren't getting the statue-free version.

I don't think there is a Wii U version. Everything mentioned the special edition has the Switch carrying case. I'm going to message Amazon about my order though. It says Switch on my order page but when I click it, it says WiiU and it also says March 13th. I think they are messing up their stuff.
