My brother asked me yesterday if I would go halves with him on buying the Nintendo Switch and the thought of getting this amazing console for half the price compelled me to say no.

I wanted to love Metroid Prime but the controls just pissed me off too much. Then some Nintendo fanboy told me the problem was that I was treating it like an FPS and not an adventure game and I got :confused:

It was meant to be played via targetting not like you would Doom so yeah apparently you're like the one person who didn't figure that.

i'm having the same issue. the other thing that ruins it for people used to playing FPS games is you rely on auto-targeting instead of your counter strike mouse aim SkiLlZ

but the game is really good anyway somehow. i haven't decided why i like it yet.

it's really, really good. much better and easier than i expected it to be. you might have to fiddle with graphics options for certain games but you just google "[name of game] settings" and there's a wiki entry right there for every game and the best way to run it

Wii/Gamecube works better on emulation than N64 does, some how

Pretty sure it's due to the N64 running on some really complex/weird hardware

The system can't even handle 900p. While Sony and Microsoft are working on 4k. But I'm sure third parties will port over their major releases!

I mean if they actually get decent third party support for once then good for them, but what third party games are people buying in droves anymore? Call of Duty? Battlefield? I can't remember the last multiplatform third party game I bought... Shovel Knight?

Game saves cannot be copied off the internal storage (not even to a memory card) and there is no cloud storage. If your console dies, all your saves die along with it. On an ostensibly portable device.

For those keeping track, functionality wise this puts the Switch behind not only the PlayStation 1, but also every other Nintendo system since.

lol.

The console is basically still in software beta like the wii U was. Us dumbasses who keep buying these things early are used to this crap, it typically gets fixed in a few months.

Also man these Zelda reviews are crazy
