I pre-ordered my switch and got a $10 gift certificate from best buy which i had out towards my purchase for the game. Alongside gamers club unlocked.

So I'm only paying $40 for Breath of the Wild for Switch.

Now I just need to figure out what other game I should buy day 1. (Bomberman looks pretty fun.)

I saw the release date yesterday and was shaking my husband about getting it for me for a late anniversary present, since it is too far past my birthday XD

What games are you getting?

I'm thinking of picking up Bomberman (granted the developer and publisher is Konami so I'm not sure if I should avoid buying it because you know. I don't want to be supporting evil. But it's Bomberman T_T)

The bundle comes with Breath of the Wild, Redout, Binding of Isaac, 1-2 Switch, and Has Been Heroes. Not 100% the collection of games I wanted -- BoI and HBH I wasn't especially interested in -- but I can see about trade value, and it got me the Switch with the neon controllers because every other way to get one was sold out. (I would much rather have gotten Just Dance and MK8 Deluxe.)

Then again, perhaps I should play BoI, considering I've done work for the publisher in the past.

I'm also TOTALLY looking forward to Puyo Puyo Tetris. That looks like FUN.

And if it makes you feel better, Bomberman is a Hudson Soft property, and Konami acquired the whole company. I'm looking forward to that too. It might end up being the best Bomberman game since Saturn.

Just shared this on Facebook but I think it's worth mentioning here:

Quote:
"Best Buy is having a $25 off $100 if you use Visa Checkout. There is no limit so you can do multiple orders. (You have to sign out for Visa Checkout which just requires a credit card.)

This also stacks with Gamers Club Unlocked which already takes 20% off all video games.

The deal also includes Pre-Orders, so 20% off a $60 then once you meet $100, another $25 off. And free shipping/store pickup.

Great time to make all those Nintendo Switch Pre-Orders, pick up games that are out or about to get out. Or just buy general electronics/appliances."
Excluding the Amiibo I used to bump my purchases up to 100+ the average rate for the games is $40 each. This includes all pre-orders.

But requires the purchase of the $30 Gamers Club Unlocked (it's 20% off all games for 2 years.)
And a credit card to use Visa Checkout. (I already have a visa, but I'm told master card and discover work.)

Am I the only one who waits to get the game and the system when it's not in rush (pre orders)? When getting the game later is easier to get.

If the Wii and the NES Classic Edition are any indication... there isn't going to be a "later" where it'll be easier to get until next year.

I haven't played it myself but I have a friend who has it. He really likes the game. I'd love to get it myself, someday.

My wife and my son are both playing it, and I'm helping out when I can. It's beautiful.

Be afraid.
I'm absolutely loving it, currently shrine hunting so I can have enough hearts to pull out the master sword. It'll be nice to have a weapon that doesn't actually break.

I'm really close to finishing most of the content, overall I really dislike the weapon durability, stamina meter, and I think the world is just a little too big for it's own good. I'm not a fan of these empty pockets in the world.

I've come to like the weapon durability, even if it is Hylian Convenient. It's actually a very significant point of game balance. If weapons didn't break, you could sneak into Hyrule Castle early in the game, pick up the Royal Guard's Shield and a couple of late-game weapons, and be set for the whole game. But instead, that only gives you a short-term benefit, making you have to either try to complete the game right then and there (good for speedrunning) or you have to save it for the harder fights lest you break it using it to mow down trash.

The alternative would have been to gate the better gear behind artificial checkpoints, but that would have made the game too linear.

And I rather like the stamina system, too. It lets you do interesting things that the developers would have simply had to deny you entirely if it wasn't there. Teleporting and mounts are there for overland travel; stamina is there to keep you from spamming charge attacks and bypassing stuff by climbing mountains before you're supposed to be able to. (And putting charge attacks on a cooldown is just a different kind of stamina.) And as stamina systems go, this one is quite generous; it recharges quickly, you can raise your maximum fairly easily, you can restore it and augment it with food that's available early on (Staminella is very common), and you can push yourself past your limits for an additional boost right at the end.

Yes, the two systems are RESTRICTIVE, but they're MEANT to be. The game wouldn't be nearly as good without them. They're an essential part of the game's polish.
