I joined the Switch-wagon unexpectedly last week when I got one from my wife for my 30th birthday along with Zelda. I had promised her and myself that I wouldn't get one until I was done with my master thesis in June. Really happy with the console, doesn't seem to be faulty (I've not explicitly tested the JoyCons but I could easily move around in Zelda at 3 metres' distance). Even my wife is impressed with it and enjoys looking at me running around in Zelda.

So is Iron Fist worth watching?

Plus, the sooner you get it, the less the initial backlog will be. I'm already stressed out by the fact that when I get it in June, I will already then have too many games I want to play along with BotW that will take up a lot of my time.

That's a really nice trailer! But it seems that DC are better at making trailers than making movies so my hype level is not quite there anymore.

New gameplay video with developer commentary: New Hard-Boiled Boss Mode:

Short hair all of a sudden? Alright. Looks interesting. Looking forward to a trailer.

English version:

Of course, I agree, the game shouldn't be more expensive (though PC gamers have always got their games cheaper). As I said, the expense should be covered by all versions not just one. However, I don't want the game to fail as this is probably the publisher's decision and not the developer's. The game looks good. I'm going to wait for a discount as well but if anyone wants the game at first, get it for another system or wait for a discount. Both sends the message.

Really? That's a bit harsh. Especially if you actually want the Switch to be a success. Grey Box has commented on it: Source: http://nintendoeverything.com/grey-box-on-why-rimes-switch-version-costs-more/ Seems to stem from the fact that Tantalus is working with them as well as spending more time on it due to Switch being new hardware that needs to be learnt. That extra amount should have been spread over all versions, of course. No doubt about it. But stating that you hope it fails? Nah.

Of course the flaws are a problem but it seems to be blown out of proportions as all consoles experience defects at launch - it really can't be helped. I hope, however, that Nintendo will handle the left JoyCon problem - one that I see as the biggest problem since it's most likely hardware related - a bit more professionally in the future rather than saying you shouldn't play near an aquarium... that's not good enough. Bad wi-fi is hopefully fixable via software updates and docks scratching screens seems more likely to be human error than anything else - bent docks are a possibility too, I guess but seems weird. Furthermore, as Debug_mode correctly said, people with fautls complain the loudest and thus the percentage of faulty units cannot be approximated from the information available. I'd like to hear the absolute numbers on these problems.

New update rolling out today, including Hard Core Mode. Looks.. hard - and core!

Wasn't fond of the drawing style, the ducks look weird. However, when the action got going, it was actually quite good. Hope it'll be possible for me to watch it somewhere.

Hah, that was amazing!

Same here - I don't think I've ever completed it, either due to age / skill (I was like.. 6!) or because I didn't play that many hours. I remember sometimes I got to the last transformation and was able to fly but never knew where to go, or I would die. Still fond memories though. Nowadays it looks a bit easier.

A Danish newspaper gave it 1 star out of 6 and said it was great that this was the last Wolverine-movie. I laughed at that. I quote: translates into "There is nothing good to be said about this movie! The protagonist Logan is also called Wolverine and has been acting under that name in a sequence of movies, of which this is claimed to be the last one. Good thing! The story is nonsense - something about perverted doctors making children soulless "mutants", little war machines. But some of them escape and go to Canada where they think they can be in peace from their pursuers." This is the only part of the review that is free to read but it seems very angry to me. I would like to see what he thinks of other movies in the same genre.

SFII is $39.99 in the US though, so it's not as expensive as Bomberman - is it?

I wonder if there is a way to try out the prototype. Like.. end-game content. Would be fun if they released it.

Also May 26th in Europe.

Enter the Gungeon is in that picture and was confirmed afterwards.

And if it's not out on the 2nd, you can still play games on it.

Haha, that is EXACTLY how I feel! With a full-time job, a professional master nearing its end, a child on its way, and everything else I want to do, time for gaming has just plummeted! I am passing on Switch for release until I've handed in my master thesis June 1st. Then I'll take some time off work and work my way through Zelda. Oh, it's going to be glorious!

I'm confused - is it possible to just buy Specter of Torments on Switch as a standalone?

This will be the first console-Zelda since OoT that I won't be getting at launch - and that sucks based on all the previews! I've decided to not getting a Switch at launch because I'm doing another Master's Thesis and have to hand it in on June 1st. Should be able to make it that far but I hate it! I would rather have Zelda now and postpone the thesis but alas, I can't do that! It looks sooooo good! Will stay spoiler-free as much as possible for this game but it's hard. I want to watch the videos and everything about the game.
