I'm saving Zelda until I've got a 14 hour flight. Well over a month from now.

I know if I start now I won't put it down and have nothing for the flight.

NBA 2k18 will need a microSD card to play all its modes apparently because they can't fit everything on the game card and will have to download the rest as an install.

I wonder if it would be more cost-effective for the consumer to go back to SNES-style premium pricing for larger cartridges

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

It's not out of the ordinary to offer higher capacity game cartridges. Sony had varying levels of space on Vita game cards but as far as I'm aware the price was generally offloaded onto the publisher so it meant lesser print runs. Some games ended up coming out on 2 cartridges! I would imagine Nintendo would have something like this for the Switch?

You should enjoy your vacation, then learn the game on normal and start with the datastore stage (orange guy).

Hard mode is kind of a novelty. Once you know the game it's easier than normal in some ways since you have more power and earn more kudos. My best score on the intro stage is 500k but on hard i got 1.5 million.

Wanted to come back and say thanks for this advice, the game is a lot more fun now that I can actually beat a level!

That's not really a bad thing. One of the most-often asked questions in this and the 3DS thread has been "will this SD card work in my console?" Something branded like that is a nice easy indication that it will.

While out to sea, a large boat became shipwrecked and there was only a single survivor. This man prayed and asked Nintendo to make good Switch games. Soon thereafter, another boat came by and offered the man to play some ARMS.

“No thanks,” he said. “I’m waiting for Nintendo to send me some good Switch games.”

The men on the boat shrugged their shoulders and continued. As the man became more deeply concerned, another boat came by. Again, the people aboard offered this man Splatoon 2, and again he politely declined. “I’m waiting for Nintendo to send some some good Switch games,” he said again.

After some time, the man began to lose his faith, and soon after that he died. Upon reaching Heaven, he had a chance to speak with Satoru Iwata briefly.

“Why did you let me down? Why didn’t Nintendo make good Switch games?”

“Dummy, they sent you ARMS, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Sonic Mania, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Super Mario Oddysey, Fire Emblem Warriors and Stardew in 2017 alone!”

HW ruled because Nintendo went or allowed the developer to go hogwild and they cranked the silliness setting up to 11 with the characters and weapons and plot and game modes and oh god the wonderful music
Hopefully Fe Warriors delivers

i liked hyrule warriors a lot but then the more i played it the more i started having problems with it

individually levelling up every character took a very long time

bosses where you could only hurt them at specific opportunities dragged the game down a lot (looking at you, imprisoned)

the adventure maps had some stages of just absolutely ball crushing difficulty

honestly that second point is what i had the most issue with. i think i saw fire emblem still has that guard crush thing where you have to deplete an officers meter to do a strong attack against them and ughhhhh just let me hit bosses in this warriors game

I'm absolutely expecting them to release at least 4 dlcs packs with each one focusing on a different older game. I hope they don't skimp, Hyrule Warriors had way better value for it's dlc than I expect from any game.

I'm kind of glad I skipped ARMS, but Splatoon 2 is really good. I just don't want to play it as much as the game wants me to play it :kiddo:

^^edit: Yeah Hyrule Warriors' giant bosses sucked, but I don't think FE Warriors will have those. Maybe an evil dragon for the final boss or something but that's about all I can think of.

The only musuo I've played is Hyrule Warriors, and a big part of the appeal was how the game was a love letter to Zelda. The characters, weapons, movesets, music, everything drew from the series in a fun and playful way. I wouldn't buy it if you aren't a fan of Fire Emblem, I don't think the core gameplay is compelling enough on its own.

Plus it's like a 60 hour game if you go in blind and aim to do all the shrines. It took me like 100+ hours and about 3 months. It might be 14 hours if you just go straight for the dungeons but, it's like, there's so much more to the game, why would you unless you were explicitly doing a challenge run?

Generally speaking, consoles do not have a good launch year. The Switch's has been a very amazing outlier. You get whatever was made specifically for the launch window, then you're stuck waiting a year for everyone else who got their hands on a dev kit and started putting something together with it post-launch.

Yeah it's more likely to have a weak second year due to being so front-loaded.

I'd probably buy Hyrule Warriors again if the DLC is included and the performance is shored up. I don't generally like musou games but that one was an exception.
