the context seems to be that the ps4 has trouble pushing 4k resolution at 60fps but works fine at 30fps, while the nintendo switch is struggling to maintain 30fps at 720/900p

They always said it was as powerful as an xbone! :haw:

Flawed or not, that franchise ain't going back to a device that isn't in some way mobile. The whole core of MH is that it's a mobile game best experienced with groups of people, and in Japan, multiplayer favors local.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
The only people who complain about the controls in Skyward Swords are morons who didn't bother to try and learn them. The controls were 100% accurate.

What ports exactly are you seeing people begging for; something like Rocket League isn't exactly what I'd call intensive.

The only ones I care about are the whole Wii U library because I want to sell my Wii U already.

720p is fine if it has a solid framerate, 60fps preferred.

Smooth and stable gameplay is pretty nice yo.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

When the Switch sells out at launch at major retailers, will desperately looking for it in smaller stores be called 'the Switchhunts'?

I'm defensive about your constant nonsense crappin up this thread full of kind strangers. The Switch can handle itself. If it doesn't like your tone it gets up and leaves.

so for some hosed up reason I was allowed to preorder every single copy of breath of the wild at my local ebgames.

I think I'm going to scalp them. I mean, why the hell did they let me do that? How much should I ask? It's 200 dollars in canadabucks. I'm thinking 300. Not too lovely of a markup, not like the 80$ shulks and rosalinas I offloaded years ago.

I just know that the last package I had shipped from Amazon disappeared and reappeared 15 days later. Have fun with that nightmare. Amazons Switch pages are still a mess too.

Unless they are collectors editions...the games not going to be rare. And it will exist digitally. Nobodies going to pay double, they will just buy digital.

From what I can see, this is not the case - the Wii U version won't feature a separate menu screen like WWHD and TPHD.

Where are you finding that info? I can't find anything mentioning the pad one way or the other and it would be shocking for Nintendo to remove the single biggest improvement Zelda has seen since it started having two screens.

The conspiracy theorist in me is thinking that Nintendo is avoiding mentioning anything about it because they don't want to make the Wii U version sound like it has anything over the switch one. Push sales of the new console.

Same, except I gave money to the guy who gave all his money for a Switch. But now he has all his money back and then some, and I have none. But I have the Switch, so who's the real loser here

Zelda + Bomberman each have $10 on them because prices might change closer to launch.

The Switch is paid off in full. Want to pay off the Joycon + Charging Grip in full ASAP.

No Charging Grip in the Switch box is a loving rip off tho.
