Honestly it’s been so long since I played the original I don’t remember much about it other than the water temple was hard. I’ll probably remember more as I play. It’s not like the NES and SNES games that are burned into my muscle memory.

Am I weird for not wanting to play the remake because there's so much nostalgia in the original?


Yes

I think you misunderstood. I think he meant some of us who buy Nintendo anything for many years... For mostly RPGs, Zelda, haven't broken down and bought Switch2 yet.

I've been playing the hell out of Diablo IV. I'm normally not an action RPG fan outside of Diablo, but nobody builds a world like Blizzard.

Just got my Switch 2 in. Pretty cleverly designed little thing.

I’m not a handheld guy (returned my Steam Deck with the quickness), and this feels even worse. The ergonomics are horrible and the bumpers and triggers feel terrible. It’s just not comfortable to hold. And don’t get me started on the little fake controller that the joycons snap into, I feel sorry for anyone that actually uses that.

Now the Pro controller on the other hand…this thing is a work of art. I see why people rave about it so much. It feels like it was molded specifically for my hands, and every button and trigger feels tactile and amazing.

I was already planning to be playing this thing docked 90% of the time, but after feeling the stark difference in quality & ergonomics between the joy cons and the Pro…I will be playing docked 100% of the time LOL.

What's crazy is that it's still 100% better than Switch 1 ergonamically as far as handheld play goes. I even stopped traveling with the first one because it was so uncomfortable. I bring my 2 with me on flights all the time and it's much better at least. But yeah outside of that I keep mine docked all the time.

That's encouraging. I got a switch 2 for me and the kids for Xmas (it's hiding in my closet). When I am playing the Switch 1 alone, it is almost exclusively handheld since I really only play it when I get a few minutes here or there away from the kids and wife. I've never really had issues with playing handheld, but I am not the gamer many of you are. So, it's nice to know that handheld is better with the 2 than the 1 at least.

Finished my 100% run of Windwaker last night. Say what you want about the art style but it’s timeless and will never “look bad”. Plus the story is great. I just wish they hadn’t been rushed at the end of development and we could have gotten 2 more dungeons and more of Hyrule to explore like they originally wanted to.

The final battle in that game is one of the best in the series. I was not a fan of the visual style when it came out, but the game is phenomenal and the art style holds up very well.

The Ocarina remake finally pushed me to buying the Switch 2. I am very excited about it. However, I think I am just as excited to play Wind Waker on it. It's the only mainline Zelda game that I have not had a chance to play yet.

It’s a great game. The only thing I wish they would do is bring over the sail from the HD remake that doubles your sailing speed.

It's a top 5 LoZ, and that's saying a lot.

The switch2 system comes with a camera. Is this for multi players worldwide?

For anyone that played DQBuilders2 the team quit and did a game like it called Pokémon Pokopio on switch2.

I have never played Pokémon, anyone try this yet? It better be good it is $70.
