    Nintendo sold 900k Switches last month and 930k copies of Zelda for Switch

    Yes, more people own Zelda for Switch than they do a Switch

    nintendo underproduces stuff and people had problems with some of the launch systems, getting the game now and waiting on a version of the system with fewer issues kinda makes sense

    The only amiibo I'm currently interested in is whatever unlocks the fierce diety items in BotW.

    Hopefully it's an actual Fierce Diety Link amiibo,
    but I'll take any Majora's Mask character really​.
    They announced a Majora's Mask Link amiibo

    so probably that
    omfg

    I need this in my life.

    I picked up the Special edition of Zelda before I got a Switch since it would be a limited run.

    Does anyone know if Puyo Puyo Tetris also includes regular non-versus Tetris?

    Not really? I assume you mean I just want to sit and play a Tetris match by myself gameboy style right? There might be a few story stages that are just straight Tetris like that but those types of stages are usually timed and/or have a goal to complete like clear x lines or get x score etc.

    @Peewi

    So hey, it turns out I was wrong about this, I fired up my Japanese copy and in the single player menu is an option for Puyo and Tetris gametypes. Tetris has three modes:
    40 Lines: Time attack for removing 40 lines.
    Marathon: Score attack for removing 150 lines.
    Ultra: Score attack for three minutes. Drop speed of Tetriminos won't increase.

    Marathon has an option you can turn in for endless, which one would think is pretty much what it means. I haven't tested it out because after a couple games my best so far is 145 lines before being at 15 speed just gets to me.

    My dad is a lifelong Tetris fan

    I made him try Puyo Puyo Tetris and he looooved it

    He had never heard of Puyo Puyo and somehow has never played Battle Tetris either

    I understand not getting as system at launch, but why not also wait to buy the game until you can play it?

    in case the game goes out of print and gets hard to find I guess?
    not that zelda is something I would expect to have that problem

    I think the real question is why Nintendo made more copies of Zelda than consoles to play it on in the first place.

    Because the game isn't going to drop in price between launch and whatever nebulous point that they get a Switch and/or they got a special version of the game for the extra bits.

    Well, we had Puyo Pop Fever for the GameCube and DS (PS2 & XBox as well in Europe), but that was over 10 years ago.

    Other than Smash and Animal Crossing I think the other game that my brother played in his GameCube was Eternal darkness
    Which is upsetting to him as he wants a HD of it for the WIIU now switch
    I lied the other game he has for it is Pikmin so the only 4 I see he kept are the 4 I said

    Sometimes you go to the store and the thing you want the most isn't there, so you end up something related that IS there, so you don't go home totally empty handed.

    They probably didn't. Some portion of people bought it on eshop.

    As far as I'm concerned, video games come from the internet.

    It's a lot less serious to have spare copies of your game on the shelves than your console so you're going to do a bigger first run of your games than you would your console, with the assumption that not all of the first run is going to sell out immediately.

    I don't understand a word he said, but I feel as though I know exactly what he was saying. Wow. Just wow.

    So wait what the fuck

    Why are they creating battery packs for the joycons

    Those thing last like ten times as long as the system battery

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    Won't the system battery last significantly longer without the joycons siphoning it?

    Though that would only really be very useful for playing a multiplayer game while mobile.

    Which seems like a very situational accessory.

    First thing is that they attach to the joycons like the little shoulderpads things, so you can't have the battery attached while the joycons are attached to the system.

    Second is I'm relatively certain that the Switch doesn't provide any power to the joycons when it is undocked.

    So, I have the Japanese and English demos for Puyo Puyo Tetris, because of course I do, and thought I would share some differences I found.

    I can read one version and not the other.
    The English demo is set to first to 1 win while the Japanese demo is set to first to 2.
    The Japanese demo has rumble enabled for basically every action that happens in the game, thankfully the English demo does not.
