This just gets better by the day. From IGN:

800


Nintendo won't let you use a microSD card on multiple Switch systems.

Trying to transfer a microSD card from one Nintendo Switch to another will bring up a warning, according to Polygon. The message says:

"The microSD card is being used by another Nintendo Switch console or was used on this console before it was initialized. Delete the Nintendo Switch data on the microSD card to use it on this console.

Save data, screenshots, and other data not related to Nintendo Switch won’t be deleted. You can remove the microSD card if you don’t want to use it on this console."

This means you can't carry over game downloads to a new system. And it further reinforces that currently game save data is tied to a single Nintendo Switch, especially since it's stored internally.
 
Might as well go back to everything being saved on the damn cartridge so I dont have to waste space on my system :smh:
 
All I want is Gamecube VC already

Give me Mario Kart: DD, Mario Party 4 or 5 and Luigi's Mansion at launch please

A little off topic, but has anyone picked up the Hyrule Historia or Art & Artifacts books for The Legend of Zelda? I've been wanting to scoop them up and most people seem to agree that they're great for fans of Zelda, but I was trying to see if anyone here has them and can provide their thoughts on them.
 
@mikejs210  I have the Hyrule Historia art book and it's awesome. Lots of great content. It's got a bit more content for Skyward Sword than the other games, but if you're a Zelda fan, it's a must have.

Sweet. I think I'll scoop both on Amazon. I'm in total Zelda mode this week :lol:

I'm over here trying to find replica Master Swords for the man cave now :nerd:
 
How do Amiibos work? Never bought them but I'm interested in the shield that Zelda comes with [emoji]128064[/emoji]
 
The shield you get from the Zelda amiibo isn't the same shield you get from
Ganon's castle.

It looks like it's just the Knight's shield. It'd be a good shield to have early on though.

If you lose your Hylian Shield, a character in Tarrey Town will sell you another version of the shield – but it will only be available to you if you’ve already picked up the shield from Hyrule Castle or via an amiibo.

Speaking of amiibo, yes – as detailed in our guide to the game’s amiibo, the official Breath of the Wild Zelda amiibo drops chests containing shields when she’s scanned – and there is a chance that she can drop a Hylian Shield. As with the Hyrule castle shield, she’ll only drop this once, and unlike the one above it’s not a guaranteed drop, but you can keep scanning Zelda once a day and crossing fingers.
 
Very well then :lol:

I guess I need to try mine out!

More amiibos / what you can get (everything is random + you can only use it once a day so it'll take awhile...)

BotW Archer Link
Bow weapons, food, and materials

BotW Horse Rider Link
Horse saddle, food, and sometimes rare weapons

Super Smash Bros Link
Epona, food, and rarely Twilight Princess Link costumes or weapons

Twilight Princess Wolf Link
Wolf Link shows up as an ally to fight alongside you!

8-Bit Link
Smashable barrels full of food and rupees, occasionally costumes and weapons

Ocarina of Time Link
Raw meat, OOT costumes and weapons

Wind Waker or Toon Link
Fish, Wind Waker armor, or Wind Waker tools


BotW Zelda
The Hylian Shield, cooking material

Wind Waker Zelda
Cooking material, random shields (including the Hero's Shield)

Smash Bros Zelda and Sheik
Cooking materials, crafting materials, rare weapons, rarely Sheik's Mask and Twilight Bow


BotW Guardian
Rare weapons and items, occasionally powerful arrows, food

BotW Bokoblin
Club weapons and meat

Smash Bros Ganondorf
Cooking materials and rare weapons -- including the Sword of the Six Sages.

You can unlock Amiibo content multiple times per toy, but only once a day. So if you're itching to take down Calamity Ganon with his own weapons (if possibly from another timeline), pace yourself. It might take a few tries.
 
Just tried mine out. Pretty cool. It's like a call of duty drop. haha. Got tons of fish and food and a upgraded bow.

Still slapping myself for looking at a walk through yesterday. I was dead tired and shoulda just went to sleep. I'm mad because I feel like I ruined the experience for myself forever. Now whenever I replay the game I'll know how to do the part based on reading the walk through. Sucks bros. :frown:

Also! When I was at the BB release they had all red joycons for sale. Shoulda copped one had I known they would be sold out everywhere rn!
 
Is BOTW really worth paying $400+? This is a serious question. I do most of my gaming on the PS4 and just picked up Horizon which is bonkers but creeping up on all these comments, seems like this game is great as well.

For those that have copped, if you had to do it all over, is the game worth the cop on release day or could it have been something you could've waited for?

Im not a Zelda fan and never have been, truth be told I only bought this game because the other options were cheese. I am actually starting to really enjoy it, I was kind of iffy at first but defeating some of the bosses is pretty satisfying plus its like Red Dead or GTA where you can kill a ton of time doing side quests of nothing at all like hunting or cooking. I wish there was more incentive for certain things but I can look past it. I would cop if you like Zelda/open world adventures.

I'm not surprise at all by Nintendo's policy on transferring data. After all, it's just a tablet. I'm sure the policy is due to downloadable games being copied and pirated, just like paid apps. I'm sure there are going to be files just like .apks when someone figures it out ...

Only thing is that you should have a cloud account where you can DL games you already purchases and or game save data.
 
2. Fri-Sat sales for Nintendo Switch exceeded first 2-day sales in Americas for any system in Nintendo history. Next biggest was Wii.
— Nick Wingfield (@nickwingfield) March 6, 2017
3. This is particularly notable given that Switch launched in March, rather than holidays
— Nick Wingfield (@nickwingfield) March 6, 2017
4. Zelda for Nintendo Switch the best selling standalone launch title (i.e. not a bundled game a la Wii Sports) in Nintendo history...
— Nick Wingfield (@nickwingfield) March 6, 2017
5. ...beating Super Mario for N64
— Nick Wingfield (@nickwingfield) March 6, 2017
6. Long term comparisons to Wii, which sold more than 100 m LTD, are tough. But good start for Switch, with big games coming.
