Just got a Switch and it's basically my Sonic Mania console right now. Really contemplating if I want to buy Breath of the Wild or not. Why can't AAA games be $30 instead of $60 :mad:

Yakuza 0 is my goty so far

BotW just hasn't clicked with me
people talk about how much there is to do in that game, but the world feels kinda empty to me

I'm probably dumb and bad at games, but I wind up following the roads to the next story objective and not seeing much to do other than shrines in between

There's a lot of "that's neat" moments with the physics, but my combat style mostly boils down to hitting things with clubs and swords :shrug:

This is mostly what makes me a bit hesitant on BOTW. I'm a bit weary of open world games cause I don't want a big map filled with nothing. Something like Just Cause 2 for instance, it was a fun game but most of the open world stuff just wasn't that engaging. I mean it was fun flying around and blowing poo poo up but that got old after a while. On the other hand Witcher 3 had a gigantic open world and almost every sidequest was worth doing. Even a bunch of the contracts had awesome little stories attached to them. I'm also kind of curious about the Mario/Rabbids game? I've never played XCOM but it still looks interesting. Gah! Why can't Smash Bros DX or Donkey Kong Country Returns 3 be out so my choices would be OBVIOUS

Thanks all for the help, I think I'll wait on Zelda for now and pick it up later. I think I'm gonna look into the Rabbids game for my first Switch exclusive game. Then the agonizing wait for Mario Odyssey (though Wolfenstein comes out at the same time eeesh)
Please do not fight about Zelda friends, namaste

Okay so new question, which retailer do you guys use to order games and how soon can I expect the game to be delivered to me when it comes out (looking preordering Mario Rabbids)? Is Amazon the best choice?

Thanks for the help on the questions folks :) One more question!!

So if I just decide gently caress it and just go all digital, how many Switch games could I probably fit on the system? I only have Sonic Mania on it right now. If I need more space is it as simple as just picking up a new SD card or what

edit: Oh yeah and if something were to happen to my Switch, which I don't see happening cause I treat like a living baby, would all my game purchases just be gone? I've never bought digital on Nintendo systems before beyond like DKC2 on the Wii, and Shovel Knight on the WiiU, but I've heard horror stories of people losing all their stuff if their systems gets broken or something

I am looking forward to the rabbids game. And I'm upset I typed that sentence.

It will be! With PC and XBox One. PS4 is choosing to be a bunch of jerks and not participate.

Proc gen is what gives Xcom so much replay value. Even if the dumb Rabbids game is actually good it won't have nearly as much depth as Xcom just because its always gonna play out the same way, more or less.

I guess it just depends on what you want from games I guess. I don't value replayability as much, so I'd rather have less hand crafted levels instead of infinite randomly generated ones.

So are there any major first party games that have been announced coming out after Mario Odysee? If not that frees up November and December so I can start catching up on some of the games I missed afterwards (like BOTW and Mario Kart 8 DX)

Does downloading something while playing another game sometimes cause the snapshot and home button functions to just... stop working? I'm downloading the test punch right now and decided to play Mania in the meantime and I couldn't go back to the home screen to check the status of the download. Those two buttons just... weren't doing anything. Putting the joycons into the system itself didn't work either, and I had to get it to reset somehow (the power button wasn't doing anything either but eventually I did get it to reset). Is this a thing anyone else has run into?

How long have you played it so far, how much longer do you have do you estimate?

Also are there any kind of challenges or anything like that in how you go about the battles? How's the weapon customization if any

Eh it's pretty dated now. I would totally play a totally remastered Mario 64 with 3D Worlds art style and better controls/movement. Same with Sunshins even though I don't care about Sunshine all that much. The main draw there would be how PRETTY it'd be :swoon:

This makes me really sad. Smash and Mario Maker need ports right the gently caress now. Also Super Mario 3D World and maybe just the amazing drawing game from WarioWare.

I can't imagine why they would add this as I think I was literally the only person making that kind of level but I'd LOVE it if Mario Maker Switch added in a real mine cart level or general auto scrolling function so I didn't have to just McGyver up a minecart/rocket barrel level with the water physics
