Nintendo Switch is Releasing with Something for Everyone

Nintendo Switch is less than a week away and with the full list of day one titles released, there's no question that the console will have something for everyone.

[CocoaBrother]

Legend of Zelda to play by myself
Bomberman to play with my friends
SnipperClips to play with my wife
1-2 Switch to play with my wife, sisters, and friends
Shovel Knight to play by myself or also with my wife.

I'm happy with day 1 games. Got Puyo Puyo Tetris ready for April and I've been addicted to anything Tetris since its original release so I know I'll be play hours on end.

[GamersXTREME]

You can never go wrong with Tetris. The perfect pickup-and-play game to have on any console (especially for portable consoles).

Still trying to get my hands on a damn pre order! Maybe my GameStop will have extra units for walk ins on release night. I need Zelda and Mario this year.

[GamersXTREME]

We're hearing that GameStops will have extra units for those who didn't get a chance to pre-order one, so there's certainly hope!

[BlakHavoc]

Yes I've heard this as well! May need to stand in line for a couple hours tho lol

[GamersXTREME]

@BlakHavoc Worth it! lol

Called mine earlier, and they told me that they weren't sure what they'd have until the shipment comes in, so walk-in units might not be available during the midnight release.
I'm going to call them during the first and second of March to see what their stock situation is, but it's very possible they will only have preorder units available.
I wouldn't be surprised if my location is not the only one like this, so just as a heads-up, you might wanna call yours back a day or two before release to double-check on their stock, if you don't have a preorder secured.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Little update; checked back in with mine, and they told me they'll have units for walk-in's, same as yours.
Certainly good news for me. Now I just need to get in line early enough, and stay there till midnight.XD

[jaymacx]

I heard Toys R us will have units on the 3rd and hold some until the 5th for their Sunday Ad... might wanna check them out

[BlakHavoc]

Thanks! You rock.

[MasterCornholio]

I think I'll just wait until the end of the year. Then buy a switch with Mario and Zelda to start off with.

I'm sorry but I prefer top down Zelda, BoTW doesn't look like something I'd enjoy since the art style looks sparse in detail to me & has survival elements like hunger & breakable weapons, which is not what I'm looking for in a Zelda.
You can also climb up any surface (with the exact same crawling animation everytime), even if it's completely smooth, which makes no sense to me.

So now BoTW is off the list, nothing else would be for me.
Mario Oddysey & Xenoblade Chronicles 2 look good, but they're not launch games unfortunately.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Hunger is not a thing in BotW; your health doesn't just go down from not having eaten.
You just use food instead of recovery hearts this time around.
Weapons are strewn about very generously so them breaking isn't an issue ( there may be some with limitless durability or the ability to repair weapons later), and you even get critical hits for lobbing a nearly broken weapon at enemies.
Finally, from what the majority of reviewers have said so far, the world doesn't feel empty or sparse.
It's fine if you don't like it, because it really is a very different sort of Zelda and I can't blame you for preferring the excellent top down entries, but please, at least do some research into what the game has in it, before you just go off and downplay it while ignorant of its features like that.

[feraldrgn]

Thanks for the correction on hunger, I've just been watching streams & assumed that was the case, my bad.

[CrimsonWing69]

Yea it is, it's called disappointment

[Mr Marvel]

It has Zelda. That's it! ...and for me that's enough to warrant purchase.

I don't even want to "touch" gimmicky crap like 1-2 Masturbation training.
