Just remember to lick the carts to ensure it's an official Nintendo product

If it tastes like poo poo, you know you're on a winner :v:

unironically can't wait until the future where bootleg Switch carts are everywhere on eBay and people have to lick carts to test authenticity.

in the mouth

make sure to hold it in your mouth for at least a minute for the first boot, the game has to initialize data

if you spit it out early data will be corrupted and you'll have to buy a new copy of the game

if you put the cartridge up the butt, you can do the install without worrying about the taste

The joycons enabling spontaneous multiplayer for simple games makes me really want them to release RBI Baseball for it. I hate that it's PS4/xb1 only.

I'd rather just get a virtual console version of the NES game.

That said those games are bad mobile ports of mobile versions so I don't see why they couldn't port it to the system that's basically a tablet.

I want to buy Blaster Master Zero so it will be downloaded by the time I get home, and their site says it is available now, but I can't find a link anywhere to actually purchase it.

While it says "released" I don't think the store has actually updated yet, otherwise there'd be a purchase link on the page.

I don't know why that's getting traction but I played the majority of the beginning of Zelda with airplane mode on and still saw plenty of framerate drops so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Once you get out of the starting area the framerate improves a lot.

I know this, I'm just saying don't expect that to be some magical cure-all.

I just mentioned the starting area for emphasis, I'm well out of there, still playing in airplane mode, and still getting framerate drops when too much is going on.

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever wanted advice on, but I bought a Switch for $300 straight up. I've been dying to play Zelda, but I also see this damned thing is selling for $420+ online and I'm totally debating selling it and picking it up later when they're widely available, but who knows when that will be. Are people really paying $140ish over the retail price for these? I'm always wary selling expensive things on eBay. But, good, portable Zelda....

eBay charges a ten percent fee straight up($42 in your example), there's also PayPal fees, and shipping a box that size comfortably is around $30, you're not actually making that much money and it's a big waste of time for something you already want to play and use and will have trouble finding again without you yourself paying that markup in the future.

FYI the disney thing was what DigitalEclipse proposed to Capcom as a collection before the MM Legacy Collection. Switch might not have even existed when it was being done, as I imagine licensing and getting original artwork from the original games was the major process.

Tons of challenge modes, boss rushes, time attacks, lots of concept art, full manual scans, ability to play NES or famicom versions

They also went to the trouble to find the CRTs that the original devs were using for development of the MM games and went and made their CRT mode based on them. It probably won't do anything for you if you're opposed to filters on any game like Jeff Gerstmann but it has to be the most accurate CRT filter I've ever seen.

No, it was a little below it (by like 0.1 mil) according to ZhugeEX. It was the fastest selling original franchise on PS4 though.

Ah, okay, I saw that it sold better in like the first two days than Uncharted did in a week (or some comparison like that) and assumed it kept the momentum.

Aww man the switch doesn't have background purchasing yet, bought Issac off of the online eShop and it won't start downloading until I wake up the system. Sad!

I know it says that from the website, but I'm pretty sure when I bought Blaster Master off there, it downloaded while my system was asleep.

Have you tried rebooting the Switch? (hold the power button for 13 seconds don't put it into sleep mode). I had some slow down issues in Zelda for a few days and had the Switch crash on me while downloading splatoon and they went away after the reboot. There might be a memory leak of some kind in the switch UI and there is no shutdown just "sleep". Or maybe I'm an idiot and can't find the shutdown button.

You hold the power button for a while and a menu will show up that gives you the option to shut it down completely, it's not a button exactly.

I did that at first but then found out the Joy Cons don't charge if the system is completely off and stopped doing it.

They essentially did both of these already with the Zelda collections on Gamecube and the Mario All-Stars collection on Wii.

Nintendo ain't above selling you three or four ROMs for $59.99.

I mean I know the All Stars collection was bunk but they didn't actually sell the Zelda collections. The OoT Master Quest disc was a preorder bonus for Windwaker and the 4 game collection was a bonus for one of three things, getting it free with a new console, getting it free with a subscription to Nintendo Power, or getting it for putting in I think four or so Club Nintendo codes that came with their games at the time.
