im upset it wasn't a "pro" dlss tech type of an upgrade.. Its worth the extra $50 for the oled screen if you are looking to buy a new switch.

Ppl are disappointed... not me, though! I play primarily handheld, the screen being OLED is huge, being 7" is less huge but welcome (I hate the bezels). I have a ps4, I have a midrange gaming laptop, I don't need a more powerful Switch. Day one here, I know I am in the minority, but this is all I wanted from a new Switch.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Since I will be mostly playing in docked version, I don't know why I would upgrade.
Nintendo will still have these sell like hot cakes, though.
They profit based on gameplay, not graphics.

it sucks that Nintendo's 2 most out of date, gimmicky consoles sold best (Wii, Switch) so they'll never return to a standard modern console
I grew up with the SNES, N64 and GC and while the latter 2 might have had some flaws at least they were competitive with PS (and Xbox)
now Nintendo is just in a completely different category, and again, I UNDERSTAND FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT but it's a shame really (to me)
don't like the way they're going tbh
also mind is blown there are still more quality A+++ titles on WiiU than on Switch (ded srs)

well the control scheme for Skyward Sword is a lot better than to the Wii version but it's still not good tbh
I understand they did it so you can switch between button control and crappy motion controls when playing with the chitty joycons but I honestly wished they'd made a complete overhaul for button control (f.e. you choose at the start of creating your save file how you want to play and they just map the sword to a single button)
I know it's "important" how you slice your sword but let's be real it's just a gimmick that they could've gotten rid of completely if they just put some more effort into it, for full price this could've been done imo
visually and performance wise it's a big improvement over the original, no complaints there

It's one of the only Zelda titles I never played and I'm getting the itch. I hate playing full price for a remaster though. Especially if I'm going to be forced to use the joycons.
I call it "Celebration". It's sexual, and violent...

On the other hand, I think it has the best collection of dungeons of any Zelda, the best and most emotional storyline, and the best music of any Zelda. I hated the Wii motion controls, but other than that I think it's a fantastic game and any Zelda fan is missing out big time by not playing it.Can you just turn off all that crap and play it normally with a pro controller?

you use your sword by flicking the R stick and camera movement is also the R stick but you have to hold down the L shoulder button
also your shield action is linked to pushing the L stick down...
srsly this is a control scheme that sucks big time imo, but still better than the motion controls / joycons I suppose

in the BCO they would've had to overhaul the mechanics for enemies, certain bosses and the gimmicky chit
let's face it, HOW you slice through a rope or whatever should't be an unalterable game mechanic, just work with hit boxes and a standard sword action
that way they could've included a free camera, sword to face buttons and shield to shoulder buttons
I might've actually liked this game then lol, now I'll just bite through I suppose... already rage quit the Wii version 10 years ago lmfao

to me it doesn't offer enough in single player to be engaging for a long time
didn't try the online mode yet, I have it but I just prefer local multiplayer for these kind of games

but the controls are doable, not enjoyable at all though
I keep drawing my sword when I want to use the camera, years of using double joysticks can't be erased lol
sword fighting "works", but it's just retarded tbh
rolling and the shield are also awkward af (both mapped to pressing L joystick)
also the mechanic to assign an item/weapon makes no sense to me, f.e. the catapult, you always have to select it before you can use it even if it's still in the slot from previous use (or am I doing something wrong, any brahs playing?)

I occasionally check for a release date but nothing so far, it's gonna be a pretty big game it seems
dasitmane
I also follow up on Windjammers 2 release date, not in the same league as Golf Story but the original is a lot of fun so looking forward to the sequel, keeps getting delayed
