If you really want to be cost efficient and only care about Zelda then a Wii U would probably be a better investment. You can also play the excellent Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD versions as well.

EDIT: I wish those would come to Switch. I'm the worst Nintendo fan. I'd buy literally every Wii U port.

Yea, Yacht Club Games loves Nintendo. I don't know exactly their relationship, but Shovel Knight was originally a Wii U & 3DS "exclusive" (it was on PC, too) and got ported to infinity based on its initial success.

I still think the Xbox 1 version is the best due to the Battletoads stuff.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a 4 Swords/Triforce Heroes style multiplayer Zelda on Breath of the Wild's engine.

Color Splash may be an OK or even good game, but it came out way too late in the Wii U's cycle and has middling reviews. It's hard for me to really care about it at all.

Not to mention Sticker Star burned me hard. I despised that game, and nothing Color Splash's previews + review cycle did inspired me to give it a honest shot.

Maybe if they brought it over to Switch I'd give it a honest shot, since there's at least a couple of goons willing to defend it.

You should really give it a try if you can find it cheap. It's much much much better than Sticker Star. The writing in it is hilarious and the world is fun to explore.

The Thousand-Year Door > Paper Mario > Color Splash > Super Paper Mario >>>>>>>>>>>> Sticker Star.

TYD is great, but having replayed my copy recently, I think people are looking at it through nostalgia goggles. The original Paper Mario does everything better.

They're pretty close imo. I still like Super Mario RPG most out of all the Mario RPGs. The visuals don't really hold up now but the music is still great and I love the insane amount of little details and secrets in it.

Late SNES RPGs were all so loving good. Mario RPG, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger.:hellyeah:

I thought it would be higher. The Switch will be dead by the time we get 2TB ones.:lol:

I'm sure most worthwhile 1st party games will be well optimized and not take as much space as that Lego game so 256GB will probably do. I'll wait for a sale on one.

I have a huge chunk of the Wii U library on digital and used 200GB. Things like Bayonetta 1 & 2, Smash, MK8, Splatoon, Mario 3d World, on and on. And that's without ever deleting anything.

Same, that's why I don't think we'll need much. Nintendo was really good most of the time about keeping file sizes down for most of their games on Wii U.

Every one of the Lego X games I've played across like seven systems has regular crashing issues. It gets tiring and never gets fixed and I bet the Switch version will be the same.

At least the crashes don't hard lock the system on the new consoles.

Also this same game had obscene load times on Wii U. I kinda want to play it but I'm not going to bother if they at least didn't fix that.

Why do we care about the tick rate of Splatoon on the test weekend of the first month of the switch where no other games have online service currently?

There are a few online multiplayer games like Bomberman and Fast Racing RMX.

A sequel on Switch with online multi would be cool.

The game is probably gimped in a major way without the download.

Docked my Switch for a sec to test Snake Pass and woah it's a marked improvement. 1080p as far as I can tell and better shadows. The graphical uptick took a second and it fell like putting my glasses on. Ridiculous.

Which is too bad, because Snake Pass seems like a great game to play in portable mode.

That's weird. I didn't expect any Switch games to run better on the TV. Maybe they gimped it on handheld due to battery issues? I don't understand how that happened.

Is it just me or does the rumble on the joycons and pro controller feel really weak? Or is it just Zelda that has really subtle rumble?

And also what's the word on Fast RMX for someone who kinda sucked at F-Zero GX?

It's somewhat subtle. It feels more intense to me in Puyo Puyo Tetris of all things.

Fast Racing RMX actually feels even harder to me than F-Zero GX but it's still manageable on lower difficulties and the game owns for being only $20. It even has the same announcer as GX too.

For anyone that is on the fence about Shovel Knight, I was too for basically the past 4 weeks and finally pulled the trigger tonight. It is excellent. If you played NES platformers at all (and enjoyed them) you will enjoy it.

One thing I like about it: it is HARD the way that old NES games were hard. Like "die in the same spot 10 times" hard.

It's hard but it's always fair though unlike some classic NES games. Shovel Knight is fantastic.
