"Next Christmas"?

It's Holiday 2017, that'd be "this Christmas"

I know it'll sound like parroting at this point, but I watched the event last night and that Zelda trailer was incredible. That's one hell of a way to sell everyone on the game. Unfortunately I can't justify buying a Switch for it right now with such a weak launch lineup - so here's hoping the Wii U version isn't complete garbage.

Otherwise, the thing that interested me was Puyo Puyo Tetris. It hasn't been released outside Japan yet, and who doesn't love Tetris or Puyo/Mean Bean Machine? I don't have a PS4, so do I buy a system so I can have more Tetris in my life?

That Mario trailer...I dunno. I'm not really sold yet. It seems like such a weird setup, and almost too close to Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic 06 in the setting for my liking.

Their pricing is insane. $90 for a controller? Good luck with that.

Or you could say it's only $50 US more than the Nintendo 3DS XL at launch, cause I view this less as a PS4 competitor and more a 3DS replacement.

The exchange kills us too.

The PS4 Pro is $499.99, the Switch is $399.99 - so not quite the same either.

This is still up, surprisingly! I almost gave in, but like I said before, I need to wait and see.

Gotta go out for a bit, Best Buy will put up the preorder for the master edition of Zelda while I'm gone I assume.

The game is being ported to the switch it was designed for the Wii U...which really isn't all that less powerful

That's true, though I do worry about framerate issues. The game is pretty ambitious and I'd hate for it to be mired in poor framerates to let us get those expansive open world views - or like in Skyward Sword, suffer from poor draw distances to make up for it.
