Zelda has a unique power for Nintendo that other, better selling franchises do not have. It's not a mascot game. It's not a platformer. It's the truest AAA franchise they've got and it has the power to dominate discussion on message boards like this one and among twitter fans in a way that Mario, Smash and other hits do not.
Important to note: Zelda didn't just 'win' E3 in terms of measureable online discussion - it CRUSHED everything.
When you rely on two hyperbolic statements to make a point about something ("CG", "6 months in development ") you cease to have a point I think.
When the Switch takes off in Japan I wonder what are they going to say....

Because it was the only game shown at e3 by Nintend.. come on man.
They may not have much to talk about, then..
How do y'all feel about Zelda potentially being the biggest game they have this year and it's also coming out on their 4 year old system?
I wonder how many of us will have now bought two consoles in preparation of playing Breath of the Wild.
Yes and it's a good thing. That clearly means they believe in the Switch having its chance as a gaming console, aimed at gamers. Showing it at Fallon's show was a really important decision. You won't touch casual gamers with that.

Well that's a boring way to pass the time...
As a first party dev they're usually releasing a game a month between Wii U and 3DS, sometimes two. This last year was super dry. Nintendo has stuff in the works; Switch will not release into a drought like Wii U and first party 3DS has had recently. There's zero options for it.
The Director of the game had his last game go gold 7 months ago. There's no gameplay and won't be for some time, becuase they immediately admitted the game was several years from release.
If my point was "Sony announces games early to make these events better than they're actual yearly line-up", than I've made it. Whether or not it was CG is irrelevant. You seemed to think I was casting aspersions about the game or the company, and I'm not. It's brilliant.
if that one game were anything else, it would not have drowned out games like Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare by 250% online.
Best post since NX announcement.
I didn't care when they did it with Twilight Princess and I definitely don't care that they're doing it now. Actually, I'd be more upset if they just released on Wii U in 2016 and never did a Switch port.

I'm excited to get a Monster Hunter on Switch and finally give the game a shot.
it's my pleasure entirely, Heath! Very much looking forward to seeing what tomorrow night brings.That's not my point. I'm saying it may not be the greatest situation to have your killer app not be exclusive to your new system.
Everyone knows Wii Sports was the Wii's true killer app.
Or that they give Valhalla another contracting game to work on.

The only problem I have with it is that BotW was written for the Wii-U and will be ported to Switch, so it will inevitably NOT be a best showcase for the Switch, either in graphics or function. I don't like the idea that (likely) the only game I'll be buying at launch is not even really a Switch game. That seems wrong on some level.
Same goes for the other Wii-U to Switch ports they'll be hitting us with. The only thing I'm hoping for is that they manage to get a full 1080p output of these games when in docked mode. Because then at least there will be some appreciable difference only capable on the new hardware.
edit: obviously other the fact that these Wii-U games should be perfect ports to the handheld format. That's a non-trivial distinction that only the Switch can do. I'm just wanting Switch-only games to be a noticeable step ahead, and also to be available right away. We'll find out tomorrow.
My excitement level will triple if they confirm different joycon configurations and styles. I'm really not feeling the missing d-pad. Call me old-fashioned.

Both Wii U and 3ds faced droughts. Since E3 2015 Nintendo release schedule was pretty terrible. They managed to delay 3 out of 4 mobile games stated for this fiscal year with the 5th missing it completely. They managed to delay launching Nintendo Account and My Nintendo by months.
So while the situation seems nice (Nintendo develops now just for 1 platform, so there will be plenty of games and no droughts), Nintendo still needs to prove that this is actually the case also in reality, and that they are able to deliver 1 game per month for Switch. And maybe half of those games are not Wii U or 3ds ports after the initial launch period.

Nintendo is banking on the Switch being a mobile multiplayer machine as its killer feature.

So ready.
& I know, I know... I want you...
to calm down
Well, that's news to me. I've heard very little excitement or discussion about that. Those tiny little joycons don't help.
Worrisome, if so.
It would be interesting jf the Switch could wirelessly output video to the dock ala Remote Play for stuff like DS dual-screen games.
I am still deciding on if i shall get both, i did with twilight princess so i might do it again.
And i don't mind it shows some goodwill. Sure it will not sell a big amount on Wii U but it shows that they still hold on their promise of getting it on Wii U.
I first was mad at all the delays but i am at peace with it now and understand why Nintendo did it and why it's needed for the Switch to get a good chance in the market.
It's a few months away i waited 5 years whats 2 more months huh?

Uh, Twilight Princess at Wii launch? Where were you? It was the exact same situation, with the game releasing both on the new and old platform.
I'm not following now that really matters. When PS4 launched some of the best games (and most sold) were cross gen games. Sony and MS got into the business of doing remasters as well.
For this situation, having the killer app also on a system that sold 10m consoles is not an issue. Heck, if it wasn't for good will or to save face Nintendo would cancel the Wii U version in a heart beat.
Zelda, being on Wii U also, is still probably he biggest launch title seen on any system since Wii with TP and Wii Sports.
No one owns a Wii U so it doesn't matter
Not no one but not that significant, and they could delay the Wii U's release

I think so.
Maybe not at the presser but someone will surely ask.
Wii Sports was the main focus on the Wii. By a landslide.
Many Wiis were sold and used exclusively as Wii Sports machines.

I want tech info
Of course. I know they showed it as a feature. I'm saying that few people seem to give a shit.
someone talked about the possibility of an achievement system
if nintendo gives us achievements in games I could see it be connected to my.nintendo.com. maybe give you coins for achievements or other small stuff on your nintendo account page.
eh. In the last thread I made a post how much I'm looking forward to this. Playing with my fiancée mario kart in a train or plane while traveling sounds incredible awesome. maybe they'll make them usable in SNES games for multiplayer..
It's a great idea and I can't wait to use it. I also don't think we should judge the joycons to fast. I've played trough a few games on the famicom mini and even though the controllers are tiny, I never had a problem with them.

Speaking of stylus, is there any word on that? The Switch doesn't seem like it would really benefit from one, but I like drawing on miiverse every now and then.
Wii Sports was the main focus for casual gamers and it is what helped it take off. Twilight Princess was the Trojan horse for hardcore gamers. I would not have bought a Wii at launch if Zelda wasn't there and I was day one for every Nintendo product since N64.

No it wasn't! It *became* the killer app that brought in the casual, but it was not originally presented as such.
