Yeah, it would be nice if they rotated the view just a bit to be more like the old top-down view and not the weird 10 degree or whatever angle it's at. It's also a bit hard to drop bombs accurately once you get a few speed power-ups.

I think I might be better off once I get a pro controller though, the stick doesn't feel quite right for this, and the d-buttons are adequate but not great. They're fine for me in Shovel Knight though, so maybe it's just the game.

I haven't tried it with my Pro yet, hopefully it's a little easier. I've only played the first world in SP so far but a bit of the time (esp. with the boss) it felt very random where my bombs were going. I've killed myself way too many times by dumb accidents.

Much like me falling off things in BOTW, although at least that time it was completely my own dumb fault for not paying attention to the stamina bar :v:

Zelda's absolutely GOTY. What's funny is, the Switch will be console of the year, because what's its competition? Project Scorpio? Lol an Xbox.

I have to make a new Nintendo account/ID even if I already have one on my wii-u?

No. Login with email address not id for simplicity. Unless your wiiu profile was never connected to a nintendo id. Logon to mynintendo.com to see if your email it tied to a profile.

You can always change your user name so its easier to do email.

At last, Nintendo will have the Console of the Year again.

In a half-decade where dedicated consoles are becoming increasingly irrelevant, but still.

I feel like a lot of problems people have with the switch are easily solved with accessories.

I also feel like this was intentional and a way for nintendo to make more money.

I don't have a problem with this because the base system is serviceable as it is.

I personally like the joycons but there not the best. The kickstand is ok but there are already mobile stands that do a better job and charge the system. You NEED a case and arguably a screen protector. A car charger isn't a bad idea to get. The base memory card is 32 gigs but can hold 1 terabyte and on top of the car charger, the system only comes with one charger so unless you unplug it every time you want to take the switch on the go you need a second charger.

Again, I don't have a problem with this because the only people who will spend all that money on this are typically nitpicky and Nintendo is a company and its trying to make money.

It's true, the PS4 is outpacing all expectations for the console market, but I'm hesitant to call this an indication that the market is doing well. Sony just proved their console is on a level that lets it largely ignore the console market's woes.

That one.

Right now I'm riding in a friends car. Using a 24w dual USB port cigarette lighter adapter. He's got a big screen iPhone 6 running a GPS connected to it, and I got switch running Zelda running at normal brightness and airplane mode off and the battery isn't draining at all, and I could probably get a short charge if I do all the power saving measures. Driving during a sunny day with brightness at the Max, might be different though.

Fangamer should have given you an email with a link a while after the Kickstarter ended. You can edit your console preferences there although the Switch option is most likely not edited in yet.

Got my USB-C cable from Amazon today. I connected my switch to my Anker Core 1000, which is a little smaller than a deck of cards and $24. Playing Zelda on normal brightness and Airplane mode not on, its powering the system completely so theres no battery loss. If you turn down the brightness, turn on Airplane Mode, you'll get a slow recharge while playing. If playing a less demanding game, you'll definitely get a faster recharge. Comparing the sizes of both devices batteries, it should give you enough juice to last for another 3 hours, maybe more. I dont see many situations where you're going to be away from a USB port longer than what this will give you.

Apparently the Switch responds well to the Quick Charge standard. I have a anker 20k brick of a mother fucker and charged it pretty quick in sleep mode. Picked up a a USB-c cable (the only one NOT 20 bucks apparently) so i don't have to take my PRO usb-c out.

That charge port is hosed tho for kickstand use :smith:

Yes, Fast RMX is basically F-Zero minus the actual title. Announcer even says the game's tracks in a corny F-Zero voice.

They could possibly be on the truck still. When invoices are finalized, the on hands for the items are automatically changed based on what was sent on the according to the DC. The switches could be sitting in boxes underneath loads of apparel.

I'm still hopefull for some kind of switch light - no dock, no detachable joycons, basically just a solid one-piece handheld only model. Unlikely but the 2ds does serve as some kind of precedent here I think.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this poo poo is insane. I've been complaining about it ever since 3DS got Miiverse.

Note that even if you use your old Network ID and link the accounts, if you ever do a password change it will only change on one account type and you'll have two separate logins from then on. It seems like creating a "user ID" on a Nintendo Account also breaks the ability login with a Nintendo Network ID because ???

Yeah so I ended up just making the nintendo account via email and linking my nintendo ID which doesn't really do anything unless you have funds in the e-store it seems. Still confusing
