Not on tablets since you need to use one as a controller but it's on every other console, PC and even some smart TVs.

It's me, I'm the only person in the world who owns a tablet but not a mobile.

In other news, Fire Emblem: Heroes seems pretty ok so far. It's rotten with microtransactions so it'll probably make Nintendo plenty of dosh.

That's, uh, pretty high ambitions from Nintendo.

Realistically the Switch will probably do slightly better then the Wii U.

Isn't that what helped the NES become such a success?

All the bad stuff in the 80's bubbling it's way to the top, our president literally losing his mind but nobody speaking up about it.

But at least there was Mario 2 and Zelda 2 to look forward to in the future.

Go to Nintendo, knock on their door, and ask Shigeru Miyamoto very nicely if you can touch it.

I'm not a Zelda fanboy by any means. I've played a ton of the games but it isn't my favorite series by any means.

But god drat do I find myself getting incredibly hyped for BotW. The world just looks leaps and bounds better than any Zelda game before. Mind you, I never played Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword.

This one looks to be a turning point in the series. Zelda always has sprawling worlds, but never dabbled in 'open world' in video games terms. Im very intrigued and very interested.

Its directed by the guy who did Minish Cap. Which I hated. I hated it because there was a million things to do but they were mostly blocked off until you were right before the last dungeon. At which point it felt like grind to your desired difficulty level for the end. BotW promises to be much more open from the word go. If that's true it will alleviate the things I didn't like about Minish Cap. Which had other great features and itself was a departure.

Twilight Princess was a great game. Skyward Sword not so much.

They were actually both pretty good.

TP has really good dungeons and sumo wrestling the goron was rad as gently caress.

Skyward has the super sweet combat and Ancient Cistern: the best dungeon.

Skyward Sword perplexes me because the dungeon design and art direction seems pretty disjointed. Ancient Cistern is really enjoyable in terms of visuals and layout. At the other extreme, Sandship seems to have been built to accomodate the square-footage needed for the boss tentacles to wreck up the interior. As a result it has a feeling of passageway/spacing weirdness the entire time before your escape to the outside. I also think the cargo container/pirate ship mashup could have been better because it's really ugly.

Skyview has a similar space issue with some rooms feeling too small. It makes up for it in gorgeous lighting and disney-ness though.
