Always though the DX version j played was an absolutely belter.

Soo, worth getting?

So who’s being the first and getting the Goose game

McBain · 20 Sep 2019 at 10:05

Don't suppose anyone has seen any spectacular deals on a V2 Switch have they? I suspect it's going to be a case of a purchase at RRP or slightly under at best.

Ideally I'd like to get a bundle with the Zelda remaster but looks like there's only a deal on the Lite + game as far as I can find.

The frame rate dropping in zelda is really jarring and poor for a first party title. I really hope they patch it because the game is brilliant and the art style is stunning.

Anyone know of any shops selling a physical for cheaper than the £49.99? If not looks like I'll be going into game on the way home!

A competitor is selling the Switch Lite, with Zelda Links Awakening for £199.

If I hadn't ordered the game, I'd go for that as my partner wants one for xmas

Nintendo premier title with stuttering framerate? Wow, I am suprised they let it out in this state.
Ive heard it is a memory leak and could possibly be patched?

Mobius 1 · 20 Sep 2019 at 13:20

Just purchased my copy, never played this Zelda before. Looking forward to it !

It's a second tier title, and I believe that it was made by the 3DS OoT and MM team which also had questionable frame rates.

Might wait if Zelda is being a bit sub-par on teh performance, see if it gets sorted with a patch

Did none of you guys play the original? The art style is really nice but it's closer to a remaster than a remake, right down to only being able to only move in 8 directions, so I know exactly how to do all the dungeons etc and won't be picking this up.

You can't call this a remaster. The game was built from the ground up. It's a remake for sure.

A remaster tends to involve the original game but with a few new extras or better graphics. Take the WiiU games released on switch, the are remasters. Where as Links Awakening, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot to complete remakes.

Great deal if you don't mind no docked play, £160 for a Switch Lite is a bargain. I'd have been all over it if it docked but I don't see any reason to buy it when you already own a Switch.

It's tile-for-tile the same game, is it not?

It's more like the Halo 2 remaster except you can't switch back to the old graphics.

Mobius 1 · 20 Sep 2019 at 14:42

It’s a tile for tile remake ? Well, that’s what I’m lead to believe anyway. As no assets were, or could be used from the original.

Untitled Goose Game is out today

I meant to say Platinum title? Not sure why I said premier, that being said is it even a Platinum release? Is a patch even likely then with these guys?
Of course I am not letting frame rate drops ruin this experience, it oozes nostalgia, be intersting to hear if people are enjoying this as much had they not played the original.
Nice of Game to add a quality little Mario hard backed note pad with my copy, along with the L.A. A2 poster and L.A. microfibre cleaning cloth, for preordering.
Nope loving the party so far, just need Nintendo to come in with the patch fix for perfection.

Would be nice if I can play Bloodstained some point this year, they are still working on the patch for the Switch version since release, no ETA available from looking at the kickstarter page.

I've never played it before and I am loving it. The art style, the carefully designed layout. The dungeons. Everything is great.

Thanks but i'd prefer the full whack rather than the lite, i'll be 50/50 docked and travelling.
