Nintendo Switch - Game save data tied to the system
The Guardian Mew replied to alienboyva's topic in General Nintendo
In it's current state, yes. But by then, who knows. Xbox One went without the ability to even manage your saves at all for a very long time... it took them over a year to get it right, if I recall correctly. You STILL can't properly manage DLC data on PS4. Firmware will hopefully be consistently updated. -
Nintendo Switch - Game save data tied to the system
The Guardian Mew replied to alienboyva's topic in General Nintendo
Cloud saving/transferring with the subscription in the future wouldn't surprise me. -
My local Wal-mart has 5 units in stock that will be available to purchase tomorrow. That's a pretty huge deal considering it's a small store, not even 24 hour, that rarely gets anything nice in any quantity. I don't think obtaining one will be anywhere near as hard as Classic NES was(And still is :|).

Friend codes return on Nintendo Switch
The Guardian Mew replied to alienboyva's topic in General Nintendo
I'm guessing 'Search By Username' will eventually be a thing. Either way, I'll take friend codes over not being able to change your user name. -
Did Nintendo purposely make Switch game cards taste bad?
The Guardian Mew replied to alienboyva's topic in General Nintendo
This might be my favorite Switch press coverage so far... XD -
Love this idea a lot... And the dark world theme... I know I'm overthinking it, but I would go crazy if one of the DLC's dark world's the open world. X3

Make sure you pick up your Switch pre-orders!
The Guardian Mew replied to LimeCatMaster's topic in General Nintendo
That's a good point, and a little more understandable for people who have put down the minimum deposit. But it's not like the console wouldn't sell if it was held for a few more days. Low supply, high demand, it would still end up in someone's hands in a reasonable amount of time. Store policy just seems like the fairest option for everyone involved. My brother works 12 hour shifts for days straight, and rarely feels like doing much of anything else on days he works. I would be supremely ticked off if I found out a store sold his bought and paid for reservation of a console before any stated store policy said that he had to pick it up. It's just not right, and it's all too easy for someone in that situation to call in advance and be told the basic store policy, only to later be screwed when it's not adhered to. -

The Guardian Mew replied to LimeCatMaster's topic in General Nintendo
I don't really think I agree with this. Store policy shouldn't be invalidated just because Nintendo said so. Most of these companies already have defined rules for how long an order is held for pickup... it's wrong to the customer not to abide by them. -
I was watching the Nindies video, and noticed how much Nintendo is pushing the point of multiplayer when it's incorporated. It seems like a smart move, push the concept of playing with friends on your own system, to sell more systems. But this got me to thinking back to my own childhood, and playing games with my brother. We often had to make rules on when to swap who is playing, passed down from our NES days and playing games like The Adventures of Lolo. The most applied rule was you die, you hand over the controller. But with things like Earthbound it was a bit different, more of a game of watching the other in their play through. These are fond memories, I enjoyed spending time and beating games together. Switch isn't exactly the same, however. It borrows strongly from the handheld side of things, where gaming was a bit different for us. We each had our own handheld, sometimes our own carts for things like Pokemon, which let us trade and battle on occasion, but most of that time playing was spent alone. I think about a game like Earthbound and find myself wondering how many times would one of us have undocked the system to play? Or any game for that matter. Would our experiences have been vastly different? Would we have spent as much time taking turns and playing together, or would we have had time limits for how long one of us gets to play and missed all that time spent together? Back then there's no way we could have afforded two full home consoles. We got handhelds when they were cheap, back when Wal-Mart had more freedom to mark things down and get rid of stock. However, today's circumstances seem a bit different for most families, where buying high tech gear for all members of the family is more commonplace. This too leaves me wondering how things will change, especially when considering the advancements made in multiplayer and gaming itself. Will it instead improve the amount of time spent together? I can see a younger me loving to spend time with my brother on Stardew Valley and Mario Kart. Each playing on our own screen, with no need to fight over who gets to play and when. Still, you can be certain not every family will buy more than one console. So it leaves me wondering how many people might miss out on creating as many memories of playing games with loved ones as they would have with a standard console... and how many might create even more than they would have. It makes me appreciate what Nintendo is doing with their new console that much more. They're really... switching things up, and I think it's mostly a very welcome advancement. ........... Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Real life Mario Kart company sued by Nintendo
The Guardian Mew replied to Fuzzer1's topic in General Nintendo
Oh, you make a good point! I didn't think about that. -
Looks like a fantastic game, but there's no way I'm playing an open world game this close to Breath of the Wild. Not that I can afford it anyway. XP

Real life Mario Kart company sued by Nintendo
The Guardian Mew replied to Fuzzer1's topic in General Nintendo
Marika is too far off to hold up in court, IMO. It's almost "'merica!" even. The concept itself is... sketchy, and they're clearly using licensed character costumes without permission. But there are costume rental places out there too, right? I'm sure there's enough wiggle room to combine these businesses, they'll probably just have to make the costumes a little more off-brand. XD That, or pay royalties. -

Launch stock for BotW Special Edition and Switch.
The Guardian Mew replied to The Guardian Mew's topic in General Nintendo
Stock reports for the SE have increased to 5-10 in Target stores. -
This is... bad. I would assume it may be possible for them to boost the signal with a patch, if their controller firmware can be patched. If not... or the signal is already going full strength, they could lose a lot of money 'fixing' this issue for consumers... Or worse scenario, they ignore the problem and early adopters are out of luck. Glad I decided to go in for a Pro Controller for Zelda. So much for QA testing...

It is being reported that Target stores that will receive the special edition of Breath of the Wild will have 1 to 4 copies, depending on store volume. I expect it'll be a venture you'll have to stand in line for, but worth it if you want it enough and haven't yet secured one. Might want to call ahead first and make sure they'll have a copy before you do. Switch units will be more generously available, Target stores that will carry the grey console will have 9 on the lower end, and may carry 30 or more, again depending on store volume. These numbers were reported by Nintendeal from a source which has proven to be accurate in the past. Given that stores are starting to receive their actual stock, I believe it's genuine. I also assume this is an indicator for other major outlets as well, but YMMV. Sounds like Nintendo may have done a decent job of providing adequate stock for the console? Special editions for Zelda on the other hand...

You can now claim your Nintendo Account User ID
The Guardian Mew replied to Dancing Mog's topic in General Nintendo
I don't see why not! The only thing I don't like is that it forces your username into all lowercase. I'm hoping this can be fixed later. -

The Guardian Mew replied to Dancing Mog's topic in General Nintendo
It won't, I had the same problem. You have to do the password one first. -

If you're having trouble, do the password field first. I had to. It seems they can be user edited, which is a fantastic move on Nintendo's part. *glares at Sony* -
What video game music are you listening to?

As for me: I pre-ordered a Switch, a pro controller, and the special edition of Breath of the Wild. I'm avoiding playing other Zelda games, or games of a similar genre. I'm going to try to get ahead on my College classes so that I don't have to worry about any of them on launch week. I'll probably get some snacks and/or Pizza before launch day. Staying the heck away from social media when the game launches until I sit down with my copy. How are you preparing?
