Argh! So good news: my Breath of the Wild Special Edition did in fact actually ship so I am for sure getting that sick-rear end carrying case! The bad news? The arrival estimate is next loving Friday.

You're killing me here, TRU! I am seriously contemplating doing a stupid thing. Namely, going to Walmart or something tomorrow, buying a regular version of the game, keeping the receipt, and then when the special edition comes in, take the game that comes with that back to the store for a refund.

Is there any reason why that wouldn't work? Is the copy of the game that comes with the SE any different from one you would just get off the store shelf? Would they have any way of knowing that the copy I returned was not the same one I bought in the first place?

Is it a stupid idea and should I just not be a big, impatient consumer whore?

It won't work. The one that comes in the SE is different, doesn't have a UPC, and has "NOT FOR RESALE" on the back.

BAH. Well, thanks for telling me before I wasted my time/money. Actually, I figured out it won't be quite as bad as I thought. I checked FedEx's actual tracking information and they say it'll be here on Wednesday. That is not as bad as Friday. I can wait. I can be patient. I swear I can.

In the meantime this thing better finish loving updating so I can get my Spectre Knight on, already!

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

You aren't getting a software update that corrects the joycon issue.

Solution: Buy a 70 dollar pro. :)

I don't like the fact that Nintendo's new hardware seems to have a number of small issues, which is why I haven't bought it yet.

However I'm having trouble understanding what drives you or anyone else to aggressively shitpost in a thread full of people who just bought the console, are understandably enthusiastic about it, and are actively trying to work around / solve the aforementioned issues. This is a console thread on an internet forum and sure, your trolling is not the end of the world, but why the hell do you have to be such a massive piece of poo poo to others?

I finally got the left con issue to come up but it was while navigating the eShop and not at all in the 4 hours I played Zelda.

Turns out it was pointed at my leg. Oops.

Zelda is indeed good, and I enjoyed the two plus hours I've put in so far. I like how the "tutorial" doesn't really feel like one because you have so much freedom and it's just tiny pieces here and there. Control based things are usually just quick onscreen instructions. Other things send you exploring to find it on your own, but you can get sidetracked like crazy. I'm also a really good sniper apparently. I haven't had too many melee battles as I just keep picking everything off from a distance.

Yeah, it's kinda weird that some pretty important information is easily missed. I ended up having to head closer to the starting area again after 7 hours or so and came upon someone willing to teach me about making elixirs.

Design flaw. I'm doing store stuff from couch with pro controller. Hit the home button and it launches back into snipperclips. Home button won't respond because snipperclips doesn't use pro.

Have to walk across the room to back out of snipperclips.

Don't do this; the game case inside the special edition says "NOT FOR RESALE" and has no UPC on it.

UPS surprised the gently caress out of me today. They said it'll be delivered after 2p, and the dude showed up at 2:30p. I was seriously thinking it would be here after 8p, cause that's usually UPS for me.

My GF is very impatient and blasted through basically every bit of dialogue. When she had to return to the first tower, instead of teleporting, she laboriously climbed all the way back while swearing that it was "bullshit".

When she got to the top, the old man made fun of her for climbing and not teleporting.

I never played Wipeout so I couldn't tell you if it does anything different but the courses are all super nice and different and the feeling of speed once you get going on a boost streak is fantastic. On multiple occasions I have found myself shouting like Han Solo going into hyper drive when it happens

Also, Zelda Protip: While you can press X and a direction to jump up, left, or right while climbing, do not press down. Instead you will jump away from the cliff and fall to your doom. My first death was doing this on the Temple of Time. I did it at least once more.

Zelda is cool where it not only lets you go straight to the end if you have the balls, it loving gives you it as a quest to temp you/dare you to try itso drat good. As if people (me) didnt believe you could from preview talk. It honestly sounded like some developer brag. drat.
