A few even had some SE and ME Zelda copies allocated.

I have 300 in store credit for Gamestop.

I heard it will be all, but you should call your local GameStop and make sure they will have some. Also, you can have up to 8 profiles on the Switch, so even if you can't get a second, you could play when she's not by using a different profile.

Even if you get it for Wii U, you're still waiting for March 3rd. There is no playing "now"

well not literally now, but before buying a switch

Yeah, I'll go in tomorrow and ask. I'm thinking about dumping off my Gears Xbox one s as well, so if they have some, I'll do it for sure.

First Breath of the Wild review is out. Edge magazine gave it a 10/10.

josuv22 · 02-25-2017, 11:30 PM

came across this

Edge Magazine said that the Wii U version runs reasonable well, but that there are some drops "into the teens" during certain weather effects. They stated that generally the frames only dropped "when it didn't matter". As for the Switch version, it apparently runs at a stable 30 FPS.

Gamma_Winstead · 02-27-2017, 12:26 AM

Man, I can't believe how excited I'm getting for this. Saw some footage of stuff I'm probably not meant to see... and yeah. This game is just looking incredible.

Scarface32 · 02-27-2017, 05:03 PM

Who here thinks the original Japanese title for A Link to the Past sounded cooler and wish Nintendo of America used it? Triforce of the Gods. Also, A Link Between Worlds is called Triforce of the Gods 2.

It also makes more sense, because Link never goes into the past. He travels between the Light World and Dark World, which isn't the same thing.

NoA had a pretty strong stance against religious themes at the time. Iirc it was marketed as a prequel to the original game so the play on Link's name, combined with that kind of makes sense. At the very least in the game itself the 7 crystal maidens are descendants to the 7 mages so there's that connection as well.

Very nice.

I've always liked the title A Link to the Past and think it makes perfect sense for the story since it doesn't actually mean Link himself, just a play on his name.

It is also my favorite entry in the series, slightly edging out Ocarina of Time (and I mean VERY slightly as sometimes I pick Ocarina).

I'll have to track down a copy at either Best Buy or Gamestop at midnight on Thursday...

What item? A regular edition of the game? If so that's ****ed up.

Eversince Amazon cancelled some Master Editions, I've been so scared they may cancel my Special Edition. But so far so good. I'll continue to worry until it actually ships.

Diesel · 02-28-2017, 08:41 PM

One of the IGN writers finished the game, 40-50 hours later. Still not 100% complete as expected.

Seems like the Wii U version improved a lot in visuals, but the Switch version still looks better.

Scarface32 · 03-01-2017, 03:21 PM

A different angle of Zelda

Our masters edition charged and has moved to "shipping soon" status! No movement on the switch though...
