KnightswoodBear Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've no desire to get one of these, but that meltdown by Ramagamma is spectacular. I can only guess he caught someone who worked for Nintendo teabagging his mum or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're small but surprisingly ergonomic. On their sides as if sharing them for multiplayer, they're passable at a pinch for short periods of play. In the grip that is included, they're absolutely fine, I have no thought of getting the Pro controller. Holding them in each hand without the grip like the Wiimote + nunchuck is how I prefer to use them. Having said that, I've mostly been playing Zelda in handheld mode ie with them attached to the device. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ramagamma was clearly broken by Nintendo abandoning the pachinko scene. May God forgive them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between the lot of them (to the average gaming fan) is so small it's barely noticeable. They all have 'great' graphics. This is one of my main gripes with PC gaming community. Constantly going on about frame rate, resolution etc. I would always put gameplay above graphics - hence why some of the older great games are just as much, if not more, fun than some new releases. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the the poor b*****ds with machines like the CD-i or Atari Jaguar One of my cousins' households (there were 5 of them in this particular house) was once home to both a CDi and a Jaguar at the same time. Was the only chance I'd ever gotten at playing either console. The Jaguar was rotten because it was a '64 bit' machine but it was technically no worse than a SNES. Just a shite controller and game selection. The CDi was on a whole other plane of utter shite though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Playing Zelda on the Switch, I've played many more technically accomplished games in terms of draw distance, frame rate, level of detail etc. But there are few games that genuinely look this good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just noticed that the switch has the same button letters as the Xbox but in different positions. Why would they do that? Obviously X,Y makes sense as axis but whats with the A & C? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That's the layout Nintendo have always used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally always took 'A' and 'B' as 'action' and 'back' so I guess that was reasoning behind those.

well fan for life Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Played Zelda last night at my pals house and I am amazed at how good it looks. Even on the wee screen it looks amazing. Frantically trying to see if I can afford to buy myself one now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the the poor b*****ds with machines like the CD-i or Atari Jaguar Not to go too far off topic but talking about shite consoles reminds me of my Amiga CD32... A few half-decent games (Diggers and Microcosm) and then it was discontinued as I think Commodore went bust. Got it for Christmas and think it was about £300 (which seems mental compared to what you can get now for that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm assuming that the switch will get the Memory upgrade that all other systems get a year or so into their lives. 32Gb isn't a lot and will fill up quick. Zelda does look amazing, think i'll hold off getting one till more titles are out. Wasn't excited for Wii U at all if im honest but switch looks like it has potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo will almost certainly release some kind of hardware revision, they've done that to their handheld devices since the DS. I'm not sure if they'll add more storage. The other consoles have the old-style hard disks in them, which makes upgrading the size of them fairly affordable. The Switch (as with phones and tablets) uses solid-state storage that is more expensive per Gb. They should still have a bigger size than 32 though, as should iPhones etc. ETA: It takes micro SD cards btw.
