I feel like this game will be AWESOME on the Switch and I really can't wait for them to bring SO2: The Second Story to the switch.

Link's Awakening reviews are starting to pour in. No surprise it's getting good scores.

 

[Pilky01]

Luigi's Mansion is now available for purchase/pre-download on the eShop.

It also gives you bonus gold coins if you pre-purchase. Which is great, because thats exactly what I was gonna do.

Untitled Goose Game releases tomorrow.
Really tempted to purchase it

 

[Jovavic]

I want Link's Awakening but not at that price point, maybe 40

 

[The Burdened]

Wonder if Link's Awakening will be $50 at Walmart.

Im fighting the temptation really hard. I am a massive Nintendo & Zelda fanboy buy $80 Canadian is an absurd price for a note-by-note GameBoy remake.

I got my Link's Awakening on sale but that was on e3 so i don't know how much more on sale it will be.

@Kaapo Cabana - yeah i might try again, save and just go slowly. (re: Celeste).

So... Switch lite... Yes or no?

I honestly don't think I'd benefit from hooking up to the TV because I'd be always swapping cords around. How much do people tend to use their games on the tv vs portable?

I'm TV only, thought about using it in handheld when my power was out and my phone died, but I ended up going out to a movie instead.

And the console sits inside of a dock where it connects at the bottom, there's no wires to move or reconnect.

Well I already have my hdmi ports taken up by ps4, chromecast, and blu-ray player... So that's why I say I'd be swapping cords.

Kind of bummed out I missed the SNES controller sale. Hopefully they restock soon.

Why does one need a Blu-ray player if you have a PS4?

Fair point It usually houses the toddler movies so that I don't have to swap out my game discs.

Link's Awakening plays great. They absolutely nailed the cutesy/chibi artstyle, the soundtrack is amazing (all strings/wind instruments, kinda makes sense now that i think about it since the game features said instruments as trinkets)

The only thing i dislike is that stupid like, blur effect they use on the outsides of the screen as you move around. Hard on the eyes.

 

[aleshemsky83]

The overworld in links awakening apparently has really bad slowdown similar to BotW did at launch. Its a 60fps game but it drops to 30 constantly, some problem with the vsync

 

[Disclose]

if you have the option to put in on the tv. put in on the tv.
also. if the sticks are as bad as in the joycons then, i prefer the choice to swap them. or else im f***ed.
(the d-pad looks cool. other than that. to me the original is better. )

i guess for the right price i would get a lite. but i prefer tv and pro controller, over handheld.

You could get an HDMI switch, the one I had automatically goes between the ports depending on which device is on

FWIW I am handheld only. That being said there have been plenty of times I took the controls off and played 2 players on the screen if I was traveling with it.

Supposedly that effect creates an optical illusion of sorts that makes the things on screen look more like real, miniature objects/toys.

It's too bad you need the blur for it to work, but I think it does the job and the game has a really interesting/charming look and feel partly because of it.

Forget the lite. I need a Switch Pro announcement.

Jesus, Amiibo are $25 after tax now.

Got the new Link's Awakening one today as well as the GOAT Pokemon Squirtle.

I got the same ones, but also Link's Awakening. It's decent and the type of Zelda I prefer, but there's some frame rate issues, and lots of loading screens.

Not sure why Amiibo are so expensive up north, I think I paid about $10.40 with my Best Buy Gamer's Club discount (and $48 for the game).
