I think I'm going to need to buy a TV, the Switch screen is really small for something like BOTW.

And is it normal for games to download slow as hell? BOTW took well over an hour to download 17GB, which is slow on my connection.

You can also hook it up to a computer monitor with HDMI in. I honestly don't know how the prices of TVs compare to monitors nowadays, but it's another option.



That looks really ugly and the trailer is bizarrelly edited. It looked and sounded like it had been stitched together, poorly, form other trailers. If that's real then they should fire whoever made it. If it's fake, it's a bad fake.

A lot of things.

Third person action RPG with AI followers and climbing mechanics like Shadow of The Colossus.

There is some stuff that is never fully explained but it's so, SO much fun.

It's super good. The quests/storyline isn't really that interesting but the combat is amazing and if you like dress-up RPGs you won't find a better one.
It's a big world, too. I don't think it would be unfair to call it skyrim-esque but with better combat and art direction(and depending on what you're in to arguably worse writing).

Agreed. If you like puzzle games in the slightest and don’t get Baba Is You, I am going to kick your rear end.

It’s keeping me from finishing Mario Rabbids which I also recently picked up, but it’s a good problem to have.

I got to level infinity in Dragon's Dogma on PC last year and I can't wait to do it again on Switch. It's one of my favourite games ever. I just wish NG+ had a difficulty/reward spike instead of being completely identical to NG. I already played on Hard Mode the first time around so I didn't really have anywhere to go after that.

Yes, you need to do get all the diamonds and optional objectives to unlock everything. Pixel toads and level speed runs are just for their own sake.

Yeah Dragons Dogma is great, it feels like an old-school DnD campaign and a JRPG had a weird baby and tossed in a system where you create a pawn (basically a customized AI partner.) You can summon other players pawns into your game as well, giving it a pseduo-multiplayer feel. The plot is relatively linear but theres plenty of stuff between those hubs points to explore.

There's a post game that revolves around exploring a huge dungeon filled with increasingly hard bosses.

Also, the final "Forever" level actually does have an end despite implying that it's infinite, and completing it unlocks a few more things.

It's rad that big rear end games like DD and BoTW can run on a handheld. I hope Nintendo sticks with the console/handheld hybrid idea for their next system. Once the tech matures enough that everything can stay at 1080 and 60fps it will be perfect.

I remember DD made my 360 want to kill itself so if it gets a solid 30 FPS (and it looks like it does) that's pretty much sorcery in my book.

It doesn't really work like that, as hardware becomes more powerful there's an expectation of better graphics, which eats up the extra processing power. Nintendo is pretty unique in their insistence that almost all of their games run at 60fps, and it's that dedication to the actual gameplay experience that makes Nintendo the best developer. Games like Zelda will probably continue the trend of sacrificing fps for larger game worlds and higher fidelity.

All the modern games that run like dogshit on PS4 and Xbone, like seriously sub-30fps is normal for a lot of titles to hit and people apparently have no standards, could run 60fps if people were willing to sacrifice on effects and details.

But the human eye can only see 30fps and anyway it's more cinematic.

The problem is that Google can't be trusted to sustain a service which requires any level of actual human support or real-time performance SLAs. They'll drop it like a hot potato if they aren't making their 95% margins off the users' backs.

If you travel/got kids or a dog, get a screen protector and consider getting silicone grips/protectors too.
If you don't and only/mostly undock it at home, don't bother.

The Switch screen is plastic, if you care enough about the quality of the screen to ask that question get a tempered glass protector, they're cheap.
