Reggie Fils-Aimé: The response to what we’ve showcased, and it really is just a small tip for 2018, has been exceptionally positive. You’ve got fans seeing Metroid Prime 4, hearing that Mr. Tanabe, who’s been involved in all of the Metroid Prime games, is going to be at the helm of that, the fans are tremendously excited. To hear that there’s going to be a core Pokémon RPG experience on the Nintendo Switch, the fans are incredibly excited. To see a traditional Kirby experience, with him inhaling enemies and copying abilities, fans are excited about that. And then the Yoshi game that we showcased, with that unique, you know, motion to go “behind-the-scenes,” so to speak, has people really intrigued. So just by showcasing those four games, and giving a little bit of a taste, yeah there’s a lot of excitement to what 2018 can hold.
So, I bought Amiibos. Gamestop got a restock of the Breath of the Wild ones and they look really good. I got the Guardian, which has 6 poseable tentacle legs, and Zelda. They have stock of Archer Link and Mounted Link too, but I didn’t pull the trigger on those.
I used them in the game and got some pretty sweet gear. I felt like I was cheating, though, so I hung them on the display racks in Link’s house and won’t use them.
Traded in BOTW as after 25 hours I was just forcing myself to play it and really had no motivation for its mechanics. Since I got $38 back it’s still not a bad deal.
I bought Thumper, and man that game looks great on the hand held’s screen.
They’ve been steadily out of stock. Got mine by talking to a guy at Target in the electronics department. He knew that a shipment was coming in the following Wednesday. I stopped on the way in to work and got one of the two they received that day.
Yeah, like Denny mentioned, they have always been super hard to find, it’s not just because it’s the summer time. I had to wait months to finally nab one from a lucky call to Target one afternoon.
Has anyone else had their sleeping Switch hijack an HDMI switcher since the 3.0 patch? They said it’s “improved”, but (knock on wood) I’m able to leave the Switched docked now. Is the issue fixed? FYI I don’t have a Samsung TV.
I went and looked up what the other amiibos give. I have the toon link and Zelda ones buried somewhere in my kids hoard. We won them in a yankee swap last year. I need to find them…
I think the Wolf Link that comes with Twilight Princess HD gives the best reward. I don’t have it but I’ve been tempted. I think you can get it separately from the game.
It has an absurd amount of content (main game and two expansions from the PC version) but it’s also fairly niche. I’m glad I paid the $40 but I can’t say everyone would enjoy it as much.
Don’t Quote me on this.

That is my friend code. It appears on the right side of the screen after you select your profile pic
