    They did mention that it's possible there will be a day 1 or later patch to improve load times

    Yeah that's a huge bummer, the Switch version really needed to cut load times by maybe half to have really been worth it. I'll just keep messing around on my WiiU version.

    I'm disappointed to say I can't taste the cartridges. My wife confirmed they're awful, but I just can't taste it.

    What is this I don't even.

    That's really unexpected and great news. However, I'm pretty sad about Bomberman now that I've beat it and played for longer than a few minutes. Those in game currency purchases are pure bullshit. One level takes a ridiculous amount of time to unlock nevermind the stuff you unlock after you beat the game. It looks pretty clear it was intended as an IAP that they pulled at the last minute because in order to be able to use the stages and characters, you'd need to grind through single player worlds for SO. LONG. And the worlds are boring as shit until you hit the boss with AI which is way too finely tuned. I mean, we're still going to play it with a bunch of friends but literally nothing is going to get unlocked in my copy of the game. I got a hat and one stage from beating the entire game.

    Why the hell are you guys pre-ordering non special editions anyway? Is this 1997?

    Because I pre-order games I think I might want. Why do people get so ridiculously bent out of shape about pre-ordering? It's simple and easy.

    Plus if you do it on Amazon it's 20% off and you'll get it release day. And you don't get charged until it ships so you're not out any money until you're getting it anyway.

    Oh yeah I know, but then you'll wait the 2 days or whatever for it to ship (unless you're one of those lucky people that get it same day).

    No one's getting bent out of shape, I just think it's pointless and the culture surrounding it encourages developers to ship broken and unfinished games.

    I preorder mainly because I live in Canada and the exchange rate the last few years has changed the price of games quite a bit. Pre-ordering locks in the lower price no matter which way the price goes. For a game like Zelda, my final price was actually $30 cheaper than retail (I preordered almost 3 years ago)...of course it was the Wii U version so I wound up returning it.

    Remove them both from the console and hit l +r on the joycon you wish to use while on the relevant part of the vehicle select screen (the part where you select which user profile you want to use). Or you can go to the controller menu option on the homescreen and do the same thing from the "change grip/order" panel.

    Kudo's to amazon, they're just resending my package. I'm going with digital just so I don't have to carry around an altoids tin of games and fear losing it. I guess one of those carrying cases with pockets for games would work too.

    I mentioned these cases before, but I just ordered a Waterfield City Slicker case for my Switch. I have one for my 3DS XL and I haven't regretted the purchase for an instant. Unfortunately they are very pricey - but you should already be resigned to the idea of paying for expensive Switch accessories, right? The material is as nice as the video makes it seem and they're hand built to order.

    Someone did a April Fools that MyNintendo was adding a BOTW jelly bean collection/assortment and all that does is rub salt in the wound for me. At this point I'd actually take Zelda jelly beans even if one randomly tasted like Switch cartridges, as long as it meant that we'd be getting physical rewards again.


    April Fools jokes are always the worst, especially when big companies like Nintendo try to get involved through the internet, like that Fire Emblem thing.

    Deadlines and fiscal periods make them do that, not pre-ordering.

    And it's clearly not pointless. I pre-order so I don't have to keep track of release dates and don't have to worry about trying to find a copy.

    Because it was a good game that was marred by bad loading times. And this is updated to support local coop.

    Shouldn't the load times be better just because it's on a cart instead of a disc?

    They are about 10% better (51 seconds down from 1 minute 10 seconds or something like that). Still unacceptable.

    You would think.

    I mean, Lego games have never been the tightest, but a mere 12 percent reduction is amazingly bad.

    Selling people an unrealistic depiction of what a game will be in order to get them to pre-order influences the idea of the game being broken and unfinished in the players minds upon release. It absolutely contributes just as much as deadlines do, if not more. The idea of a game being hard to find was certainly relevant in the 90's and early 2000's, but not today when you can find plenty of copies of newly released games at a multitude of stores as well as online. Pre-ordering (edit: pre-ordering games) in todays age benefits the industry far more than it benefits the consumer, and is wholly unneccesary.

    As someone who 100%'ed Lego City Undercover, it is an EXCELLENT game that deserves to be played. I'm glad to see it coming out for all the consoles.

    But it does bug me that the open world nature requires that much initial loading, even now.

    Because they added multiplayer, and it SHOULD'VE had much better load times, and a lot of people missed it on Wii U because not a ton of people bought Wii U, and also Lego games are really fun.

    Penn and Teller did an episode of Bullshit on it (though that was over 10 years ago) but it's pretty enlightening and I don't think much has changed.
