Zelda looks good enough, the Switch looks interesting enough, and I got enough back from my tax return that I'm willing to (possibly foolishly) buy a new system for it. I just wish I had realized all this back when the supply was only at "it might be on sale at one retailer each day for 10 minutes" levels of scarcity and not "lol nope" levels.

that ensued when I got to the end and I realised it wasn't the end after all was amazing. It's probably my favorite Game Boy game.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:I wasn't sold on the Switch coming out, but seeing how BotW is apparently amazing, I guess I need one now. Though I'll wait until my birthday in July to pick it up. Supply issues should be over by then BotW is personally my favorite game ever and is easily worth the cost of a Switch. The Switch is still an excellent piece of hardware though.

my only gripe about the switch is the inability to charge while its in kickstand mode, which i have solved by buying a kickstand that allows for it its now the perfect gaming console

If the Switch continues to sell as well as they have been saying it will for the past few weeks, 3rd party publishers would be dumb to continue to ignore Nintendo. There's no longer any excuse since this is by all accounts an easy system to develop for, and the install base might be larger than the Wii U's lifetime install base by Christmas.

Stux posted:so apparently this is on the lego undercover box Absolute bullshit*. They make large size cards for the switch Zelda is a good example. What I suspect is there are different storage cards at different prices. They're trying to come under 59.99 price point. *pending someone actually putting the card in and running the game on airplane mode. incoherent fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Mar 27, 2017 |

Confirms my suspicion: they're offloading the cost of the cards to the end user by using the built-in 32gigs or expanded storage. lovely, but they're getting in on the ground floor with the switch so they can ask for that storage.

Phy releases can go on sale and be sold in the used game market. The way the game release list is looking like, i'll let other take the brunt of the storage and costs and pick up the game used. At that point the storage demands won't be as bad.
