i should be able to download the new zelda on release day, right? in case i don't end up ordering a physical copy?
I would assume so. Knowing Nintendo's history with their online infrastructure I wouldn't count on a flawless downloading experience on day one.
yeah that's what i'm worried about

amazon's pre order of the game says they won't ship until 3/31 so i'm holding off for now
You could always go to a store that day.

Have you played that mordor game? That was a lot of fun.

Until dawn was fun too, but it's definitely better with people. You're basically playing a movie.
Yeah, I beat Mordor awhile back. I think I'm going to play through Until Dawn since we will be iced in this weekend.
Got Watch Dogs 2 on super sale yesterday. Will go with that for the time being.

Also, just realized Horizon comes out just a few days before the Switch/Zelda. Mass Effect a few weeks later. Woof.

I'm looking forward to Zelda > Mass Effect > Rime > Fractured But Whole. What a great stretch. Maybe in the fall RDR2 > Mario > God of War. 2017 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks like they added a Splatoon track as well as some new characters and the ability to hold more than one item.

Buying the next Zelda game digitally will take up over 40% of the console's 32 GB of internal storage. Its file size is slightly smaller on Wii U at 13 GB.

I would buy a physical copy.

If it's like PS4, it still installs the game to your drive, it just uses the disc as a key for gameplay.

At least you can replace the SD card. But yeah, only 32gb in 2017 is super lame.

The business executives of Nintendo are pretty shitty. They seem ignore where the industry is headed and what their core user base wants. IMO, they too often think only moms and dads are thier customers and they view their product as a toy, not a game console. They need to do a better job with their IPs too. It's a shame of the franchises that just sit on the shelf.

I'm hoping the Switch will unite their handheld and console development. We need a new Metroid and F Zero.

The PS Store has been killing it with sales the last two months. My backlog keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Yep. I'm holding off until Witness, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and/or Uncharted 4 get a deep discount.
