I still have my pre-order for a neon switch and master edition of zelda, but I am probably going to flip it like t.bone with a homebrew - I could really use the money with the upcoming wedding and if someone wants to pay a premium to not wait for them to be redily available and have a special edition of zelda, I feel like I should take advantage of that while I can.

My only question is, how do you sell on ebay??? I've only traded stuff on forums, and given trash away on craigslist. :/ Might not be worth the trouble, but if I can easily figure it out and make a couple hundred dollars, that'd be cash to tip the DJ with at the wedding.. worth it for those cut rugs.

If you are be a scummy flipper, just use the craigslist and avoid e-bay fees, maximize the scummmmmmmmmmm









































Good luck on the flip, demand seems pretty high.

Not sure why, but I laughed my ass off when I read this.  Maybe because it's true...

If I could then trade it to the DJ at my wedding for his services, or to the photographer for hers, I might take you up on the offer.

To be honest, I'll probably open it and experience it - get that new console release boner satiated - then box it back up and sell it at cost to a coworker like I did my NES Classic; I am too paranoid to do a big money transaction on craigslist, and I don't know whats up with Ebay selling and will probably end up in the red if I go that rout via a scam or mistake. Also, so many people I Work with want these things, but somehow can't get ahold of them and think ebay is their only option.


Nintendo killed it with the indies today...


Killing it? No Henshin-Engine makes me think they were killed - HE OR GTFO - That's a real indie! Most of those games are the medium size companies that everyone said "died due to AAA companies and market trends". Indie is such a strange loose moniker. In my opinion, an indie is a group of dudes doing it out of pocket for the love of it, not a medium-small corporation/company.


/end rant


Whatever these games DO look fricken  rad Some of those games are probably things I would buy - the advanced wars knockoff, retro city rampage knockoff, and strange death adventure platformer all look really really good.


Few of those are Switch exclusives, so I would not call them system sellers as much as system incentives, but that being said I would love to get into a game, take it with me to work and play it at lunch for a bit, or on the ride if I am not the one driving in the car pool, the on the couch while my lady watches her shows, and then pop it on the tv to continue after that - seems really nice.


I do plan on getting a switch; my fiance has insisted I keep my preorder, but the ferver and likelyhood to get another down the road make me hesitant to keep it (and I also just can't/shouldn't spend the money right now.)


The platform differences on Zelda are starting the surface, and danmit I wish they weren't cause it's making me think I would rather play the better version.





The texture resolution is clearly different in this shot (blurry surface detail); and people are saying there are generally less lights per surface, less particle systems in general, and other knocks to quality.

However, if you notice the grass around the log, the art team has used the blurry textures to their advantage is some places which looks worse at a crisper texture resolution - making me think they may've rushed a "high res texture pack" into the game to make some surfaces (log, brick wall) look better at the sacrifice of some things artistry (aforementioned grass)

I will wait for a nice comprehensive comparison, but danm being portable might not be the only difference between the two.

Still no. Still not enough to generate an interest. Still stupid price for a pro controller. I'm going to guess a Christmas bundle with the mario game for the same price will happen. That's more appealing. When PS3 launched it was £425 on its own. The next summer deals for same price could be had with 2 games & 2 dual shocks. I'm going to sit out for a bit. Breath of the wild Wii U beckons.

For me the next Zelda game is a Wii U game. It was designed with the Wii U in mind. The Switch is just a port. It was never designed firm the ground up for the Switch so the art direction and abilities the newer system would have allowed the game to take advantage of are not a concern to me.

It's not like the Shadow of Mordor game that came out for the PS3/4. Where due to hardware limitations they could not implement key game play functionality to the older system.

If we keep it we'll get Zelda and SnipperClips.

I think this is a better comparison of Wii U vs Switch graphics

You're forgetting that it's hard to take the Wii-U on the road and play on the go(well, for two hours at least)

Sounds like the general consensus is this is a portable Wii-U with cartridges.... I still want one though lol
