I probably will, but only because I won’t be getting a Switch any time soon.

@Applejack007  
I might, seeing as I’m sticking with my WiiU, as I don’t really want a Switch yet.
 
@LunaLover20  
Graphics-wise, I don’t really see much difference between them.

@Applejack007
 
I’m getting the Wii U version.

Honestly, removing the shadows in the final boss fight against Ganon in OOT 3D really removed a lot of the atmosphere from the fight. I liked seeing the model in full view at first, but looking back it was so much better when you could only occasionally see it in full view in the original version.
 
Also, never liked how the OOT and TP versions of Ganon’s beast form were green instead of the classic blue.

Huh, just started a new game on Link’s Awakening DX today and I’ve already gotten through the first 2 dungeons. I’ve even managed to avoid any deaths so far, though I am kind of cheesing it by loading a restore point when I’m about to die. But you know what? I don’t care.

@Shepherd  
What? Do you hate the Switch, or something?

@LunaLover20
 
He was answering your question on what he meant by Lighting (he meant Lightning, not Light).

@Shepherd  
Yes we are getting lightning/electric arrows in Breath of the Wild.

Also, you guys do know that Breath of the Wild is the last game for the Wii U, right? I’m not bashing on your tastes of consoles.
 
I mean, I have been checking the news on everything related to the Nintendo Switch, and I can tell it is gonna be a huge improvement over the Wii U.

In fact, is anyone here getting the Switch?

@LunaLover20
 
I can’t afford a Switch right now.

@Jarkes  
Understandable.

Well, I’ll be sure to give you guys a review of the Switch after I’ve played with it for a day.

@LunaLover20  
No video streaming aps, no internet browser, no backwards compatibility with previous games/consoles/controllers, no Miiverse, no video chat, no more free internet games, and such honestly don’t seem like “improvements” over WiiU to me.  
Plus the 6-hour battery life in portable mode, make it seem less portable then the 3DS honestly to me.
 
Honestly, aside from a few cool looking games, I’m not very excited for Switch. Guess I’ll have to wait and see what it has to offer in the future, assuming Nintendo & third-parties don’t abandon it after 3 years…
 
@Jarkes  
I suppose they did look more atmospheric, and they kinda helped with his transformation animation especially.
 
Blue piggie Ganon finally does return in “Animal Crossing New Leaf: Welcome Amiibo.” I got him from my 8-bit Link Amiibo.

@Beau Skunky  
If it was a literal tablet, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t cost a mere $300. And Nintendo stated they didn’t want to build a tablet.
 
Also, you do know the console comes with a portable charger, right?

Okay so Link has had Normal, Fire, Ice, Light and Bomb arrows.
 
Not any arrow for Electricity?

@Shepherd  
Never.

@LunaLover20  
Isn’t that what it’s already going to cost? I know, just honestly I’m not very excited about the Switch. (Especially, ‘cause once it comes out, bye bye WiiU games & accessories in stores. I hope WiiU still gets some VC games though before it dies completely, as WiiU’s VC has been on a role recently with good games like “Harvest Moon 64.”)
 
I mean not every game system needs Netflix, and such, (heck, I defended the GameCube back when people were bashing it for not having an expensive DVD player in it which was trendy for rival consoles) but after Wii, 3DS, and WiiU they were kinda nice to have.  
Plus the internet browser would’ve been nice to look up stuff while gaming. So honestly with the Switch it feels like a downgrade, and will definitely hurt sales of the system.
 
I might get one some day, as some games (Arms, Super Mario Odyssey, Bomberman, Sonic Mania, Freedom Planet 2, heck I might even give “Skyrim” a shot) look nice, but honestly the Switch is one of the first Nintendo systems I’m not very excited about. I just can’t find any reason to be oddly. Especially, ‘cause I’m worried it’ll die quickly, and lose consumer & third-party development support like WiiU did.
 
I hear rumors a successor to 3DS might be in development, I’d probably be more excited for that even if it’s just another more powerful 3DS.

@Beau Skunky  
The thing with the WiiU is it didn’t sell well.  
First the name:Okay what if we take the last system and name it after our last system.  
second:There will be games still coming out for the console even after the Switch is out.  
third:The third party left the console when the Xbone and PS4 came out.  
fourth:If the switch fails they will be moving to mobile.

@igotnopicks  

 
I know that, that’s why I’m reluctant with the Switch, I wanna see how it fares.  
And to be fair, while WiiU’s console sales were terrible even compared to every other Nintendo system, it had impressive software sales, (the opposite problem most failed systems have) so it wasn’t a complete failure.
 

 
Didn’t hurt 3DS, PS4 & X-Box One. (Rather confusing name as it makes it sound like a remake of the first X-Box.)  
It probably hurt WiiU though, as gamers probably assumed it was another “casual-gaming” focused system, which ironically it wasn’t, so it turned off casual Wii fans too.
 

 
Not many though.
 

 
Actually, third-party support was strong when WiiU first came out, much like the Switch now.
 

 
I doubt it, seeing as supposedly Nintendo has enough cash to survive many systems failng, and 3DS has actually outsold PS4, so they aren’t completely failing. (Not to mention, products like the “NES Classic Edition” are doing insanely well.)  
Plus I hear the Mobile phone Nintendo games aren’t even made 100% by Nintendo, and they’re being made to expand their brands. Not replace them.  
Honestly, “Super Mario Run” while entertaining, is no replacement for a REAL Mario game. I feel Mobile gaming while good for short bursts isn’t a replacement for more complex gaming. I prefer gaming on the TV, or on my 3DS.

Huh, only started my new Link’s Awakening DX file yesterday and I’ve already gotten through Angler’s Tunnel, gone through the Color Dungeon (I chose the Blue Clothes for extra defense), AND obtained the Bow (without stealing it!).

@Beau Skunky  
I don’t consider an internet browser or Netflix or any other movie viewing application as necessities for a video game console to be successful or entertaining.
 
And do you really think no internet browser is gonna make Switch sales suck? Do gamers prefer consoles with internet browsers? Is that an actual statistical fact? Because preorders sold out in just a few days after they opened.
 
Don’t take this as an offense but I feel like you’re underrating the Nintendo Switch.

Grudio Link fan art please,

Welp… Made it through Catfish’s Maw, completed the Trade Sequence and got the Boomerang, went to Southern Face Shrine and learned the secret of Koholint Island, and made it to the Face Shrine in Link’s Awakening DX… And I’m pretty sure that this is where I had hit the roadblock that caused me to stop playing it for several years…
 
Here’s hoping I can actually get through it and finally beat the game this time… Of course, after the Face Shrine I’ve still got two more dungeons to go through…
