The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild "for Wii U and NX"
#31 Posted 13 January 2017 - 01:17 AM
I'm not a big fan of the motion control stuff or the gimmicks of the Switch, but I'll probably pick it up in a couple years after some price drops, gotta have that kooky new Mario Odyssey with him in New Dunk City etc.

I thought BOTW was cancelled for the Wii U?

It's still coming to Wii-U, the trailer from the Nintendo presentation yesterday/earlier today says Wii-U and Switch. Also the game sites have articles saying it's confirmed to come out the same day on both systems. So I'll be rocking the Wii-U version, since I won't need a Switch for a while.
Mario Odyssey does look fun to me though. Him doing his ninja wall kicks up huge buildings in an open city hub to connect the out there worlds looks like fun stuff, and I love Mario 64.

Mario Odyssey is supposedly more of a return to Mario 64-like sandbox gameplay, so a large divergence from where it has been headed. Mario Kart though is a port of Mario Kart 8 with some new mechanics/characters/items/modes/etc. Still the same basic game that was already on Wii U.

If Odyssey is a sandbox game, then that would be something new for the series -- none of the other games have been sandboxes, as I understand the term. The Galaxy games are no more less sandboxes than Mario 64 imo. Mario Kart 8 is a good game, but I can't get excited about playing another one unless the Switch controller is much better than the Wii U options.

In Mario 64 there's a goal, sometimes with a puzzle but you find your own methods of getting there and can explore freely around the levels which are completely open, and even tackle challenges outside of what the game asked/expected you to do. Mario Sunshine was actually similar in that way (even moreso in some cases). In Galaxy there is one goal, one path, no exploration. This is even more the case in Galaxy 2. And then beyond that you have the 3D Land/World games which have even more simplified level layouts than the Galaxy games.
Edit: Reports are that the Switch Pro Controller is amazing, but obviously I can't verify that because I haven't used it! Supposedly the Joy-Con controllers are small yet weirdly comfortable and the fact that you can play in a relaxed position (arms anywhere) if you use them is appealing to me since that was one of the best things about the Wii controllers.

Breath of the wild, super mario odyssey, and xenoblade 2 (fuck those character models) all look really exciting
More splatoon is good
Arms looks cool but idk if itll draw me in that much
Most likely not getting one at launch but ill definitely have one before the end of the year

Looks to me like an iteration on the Skyward Sword design of Zelda.
Having had personal experience with the kind of hardware the switch is running (NVidia Tegra X1), I'm excited for the hardware itself, as the X1 is no slouch, but it's also disappointing that they aren't going for the Tegra X2, which would have given the GPU more power than the XBox One in portable form.
As for the titles, I'm excited for Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey looks cool, but I'm not too excited about the rest except for maybe Shin Megami Tensei 5.

It's still annoying that they going to charge for online play like the rest of the companies nowadays which is why I don't plan to get Switch, perhaps not even new Bayonetta game will make me to get one if they even fund one and make it Switch exclusive (Bayonetta 2 was a big reason why I've got Wii U, another reason was because consoles became even worse with Xbone and PS4). Though I'd play No More Heroes or maybe USF2 too.

That's circle-talk for "we don't have time to finish everything so we're going to give you what we've got and charge you for the rest later." Yes, you heard that right. Zelda now has DLC.

The game has been in development for over 5 years, of course there is going to be cut content like almost every Zelda game before it. If you want to be mad at something, be mad that they're locking the Hard Mode behind DLC this time instead of including a Hero Mode.

Really it all depends on how much content is actually in the game and the pass and ill have to know more before i can say my full opinion, but for now it feels like people are overreacting a bit.
Dlc isnt a bad thing, bad business about dlcs are

I don't mind the wait, it will take a while until all dlcs for it are released anyway, no plans to play before that happens...

Funny thing is, I had to stop at a greenlight because someone decided they had the right of way to take their sweet time walking their dog across, and the customer that ended up in front of me got there just a few seconds before I did.
Oh well, thats the way she blows. Maybe they got a defective unit.
