Jimmy Hats posted:Ugh i bought an amiibo. My shame is eternal same. I bought two, so its two eternity's worth. That said, I did get some fish and a sweet bow which dulled the pain a little. On the flip side, I had a treasure chest bounce off of a wall on its way down from Amiiboland, into a fast-flowing river and watched as it was swept away into the depths which was a bummer.

I know someone else said it earlier but god drat the Rito Village music is magical. Bonus points since I have always thought Pirates of Dragon Roost Island is the best Zelda song.

I saw a copy of Zelda Special Edition just sitting in the case at Walmart yesterday. Made mine feel less special. Then I went home and played Zelda some more and it was awesome

Bonus points since I have always thought Pirates of Dragon Roost Island is the best Zelda song. The night AND day themes are awesome. Day theme features I think a hammer dulcimer or something of the zither family, and night theme is more of like a Spanish guitar-type sound.

Ugh if I don't put down Zelda I'm not going to get anything done, it's overwhelming Ocarina of Time made Zelda 3D and is a drat good game, but Breath of the Wild seems like a real evolution of Zelda in every regard. And it's the first Nintendo game in a long time that has had this much meat to it. I hope they keep making big open world games like this

Lemming posted:Mine wasn't that bad, but I still had problems with my left joycon. The antenna surgery seems to have fixed it tho By antenna surgery, you mean like soldering a copper wire to the existing hardware to act as a better antenna? People do seem to say that works, but we lack the equipment and know-how for that. If you're referring to something less invasive, I'd be curious to hear more about it. Reaching out to Nintendo seems like it may be the way to go, although I'm not sure what avenue to use for that, or what they're going to say other than "download the latest update and try not to put this box near any electronics despite the fact that it needs to be attached to a large electronic device via a 3-foot cord."

Stunning, I bet Trump had a hand in this magic.

new mario going to be amazing. you need to keep finding shoes to equip that break down after stomping on a few goombas. also your gloves degrade and will no longer smash blocks without being replaced every handful of minutes.

As far as reaching out to them - it seems at some level (see the Reggie quote) they didn't run into that problem before, so it's possible it could be a large scale manufacturing defect and getting into contact with them might help them figure out what's going on, even if they might not be able to do much for you personally

i was having this discussion with an acquaintance of mine at work and he made the point that the switch came out pretty bare bones in terms of functions/capabilities that other consoles already have built-in (i.e. legit online services and poo poo like media playback) and he wondered how nintendo got away with it. he stated that if microsoft or sony tried something similar, they would have been owned hard. so i thought about it some more and thought about how the switch was so successful (it sold better than the Wii), considering the state that it was released in.

I have had fun playing every Zelda game, and I have played almost all of them, but this thing is on another level than all the others.

if you want to watch netflix, take the switch out of the dock *click* and then you can have netflix on your tv while you also play the game.

The Switch is actually a massive failure. It just so happens that the single game that exists for it is apparently good enough to buy a whole console for.

They released it with probably one of the greatest games ever made, which has been able to take a lot of heat off of them. If they didn't think this Zelda was going to be this good, they may have pushed the release date. Also people seem to be having a lot of fun with snipperclips, rmx, blaster master, and that tetris game.
