Oh yeah, I'm making the Switch day 1 baby.

They played some of the Wii U version. That had some slowdown and issues that hopefully the Switch version gets around too.

This wont be at launch though will it?

Recent rumors hinted at around June 2017 for a release date with Switch version arriving first and the Wii U version a week or two later.

It makes no matter to me really, i didnt buy a WiiU because there was no zelda (only nintendo I don't own) but with zelda 100% dropping on Switch it's a day 1 buy

Emperor Smeat 12-02-2016 06:04 PM

Nintendo some amiibo goodies for the game.

Quote:

8-bit Link will reward you with a random number of barrels. You might find rupees inside too!
Ocarina of Time Link will reward you with a random amount of meat.
Toon Link will reward you with a random amount of fish.
Wind Waker Zelda will reward you with a random selection of plants.
Quote:

So, not quite as impactful as the Wolf Link amiibo, then. Scanning that figure brings in Wolf Link as your battlefield buddy, and from my hands-on experience, he's both helpful and adorable. There's also going to be support for the three Breath of the Wild amiibo, but it's unclear to what end.

Personally, getting the Switch day 1. A better version of the game and it's portable.

Januarys event should hopefully make the decision easier when they fully confirm what's hitting the Switch year 1 so you can see if the whole system is worth it or not.

I could tell from some of the Switch review vids, just their reactions. They couldn't review Zelda, but you could tell how blown away they were, dying to talk about it.

Which was strange, because a lot of the views for the Switch itself were lukewarm.

Seems weird to be lukewarm when the system seems to have provided one of the best games of all time on day one.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-02-2017 06:09 AM

IGN 10/10

USGamer 5/5

Has a 98/100 on Open Critic. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is ranked in the top 0.0% of games scored on OpenCritic

Nintendo did it. They fucking did it.

If Zelda becomes and absolute must play videogame, that should be more than 6 month lifespan already. That takes you into new Mario Kart, Platoon and eventually Mario, which could also be a mega title.

This was absolutely crucial for them, they gambled it all on Zelda, and it looks like they hit it out of the park.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-02-2017 08:02 AM

Mario Kart is April, ARMS is around there too, Splatoon 2 in summer as well as E3 then we're into the fall for Fire Emblem, Mario and allegedly Xenoblade 2.

Combined with the indies announcement, I think it'll be my most played console this year.

Maluco 03-02-2017 08:19 AM

Def picking up Skyrim too, possibly my favourite game of all time, to have it portable is just :D

I would have gotten a switch if this was Switch exclusive (and it allowed me to play my Wii U games). I wonder what the sales of the Wii U version will be like.

Maluco 03-02-2017 08:29 AM

I am wondering that too. I went the other way and traded in my Wii U. Got £160 for it, 3 games and a Yoshi Wiimote. Only £110 to add tomorrow for the Switch!

I think a lot of people who own the Wii U (not many) will have done one of those two things. Either "I only want Zelda" and keep the money, or "I better trade this in before the value drops"

Maluco 03-02-2017 08:31 AM

I really liked my Wii U for what it's worth, so I doubt I will be disappointed with this.

Big Vic 03-02-2017 08:31 AM

Didn't pre order the switch? are you worried about a shortage?

I was when I watched a few videos, but there doesn't seem to be a shortage where I live. In fact, you can still preorder online as of right now

#BROKEN Hasney 03-02-2017 08:36 AM

Yeah, Nintendo has never been a big deal over here. Looks like they're selling a lot as Zelda has sold out on the Switch in a lot of places, but other than the Wii, Nintendo was always at least second best.

The Master System and Mega Drive outsold the NES and SNES.

Maluco 03-02-2017 08:39 AM

I did pre-order too, just have the trade in cash in my game account

Maluco 03-02-2017 08:41 AM

I think the fact it is a March release means there is less demand too. They should be well stocked by Christmas, but I imagine that it will almost be a like a new release again at Christmas with Mario.

Shadow 03-02-2017 08:47 AM

Just watched some dude go straight for Ganon with only a single heart container as his only upgrade. Enemies just one shotted him, but if you're good enough, it actually looks possible.

On the other end of the spectrum for completionists, no-one knows yet. Been ranges of 50-100 hours to complete the main game with some side stuff, but that's not doing 100% of the stuff.

I honestly can't stand speed runners. Watched some guy do the world record for "beating" SMB3 in like 8 seconds because he typed in some glitch at the beginning of the game that transported him to the final scene with the Princess. Like how is that even an accomplishment at all

There's different categories like no glitch, no warp pipe or even tool-assisted.

road doggy dogg 03-02-2017 11:00 AM

warp pipes and stuff are cool, the glitches are stupid and totally not even in the spirit of the game

but you hear the speed runner "community" get real uppity and snobby about the issue and it makes me kind of hate the whole lot of 'em

They should just pack these games like they do their 3DS games. Little square box, little square game.

Emperor Smeat 03-02-2017 08:33 PM

Some details from Destructoid's review about how big the game's scope is in terms of stuff to do. Reviewer beat the game in around 40 hours but still had a ton of side quest stuff left to do. Giantbomb hinted at their play time being around 90 hours with also some stuff left.

You get some extra items you can otherwise find in the game, or some Easter egg type stuff that isn't overpowered (you can find armor in the first few hours that is better than most of the figure boosts). The Wolf Link companion does feel like a massive thing in the form of a bite-sized paid piece of DLC, but I don't feel like it was necessarily "cut." A massive 100 hour or more adventure makes this choice easier to digest.

The game really tells you nothing, I've died like 6 times in the opening 2 hours. But you learn. Nothing has felt like this since the original Zelda really.

Registered horses just die and can't be recalled.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-06-2017 02:36 PM

So I've done all the photos and beasts, there still isn't a quest for the master sword. Characters have been hinting where it is, so I might they and find it myself.

Still not gone up the tower in 3 regions though, so going to unlock those first.

Poit 03-06-2017 03:12 PM

I found the Master Sword, but

I hadn't seen any hints about where to find it. I was looking for something else and was surprised to also find the Master Sword there.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-06-2017 03:54 PM

I was thinking of getting the last tower, then the master sword and going for Ganon. Then, up in the snowy mountains, an enemy hit me once and took off 12 3/4 hearts. Think I'm going to have to go find the last fairy first and upgrade my gear to max.
