Yeah, I'm a big fan of getting to enjoy the same game without plunking down a ton for this new console.
Except I spent my spending money on Hearthstone cards and trade paperbacks because I figured I was going to be playing WoW this whole month and now that's turned out to be a disappointment, so I really wish I'd squirreled some away for new Zelda. I can probably convince my wife to let me cheat this month since she did with buying WoW: Legion, but I'm supposed to be our impulse control.
EDIT: If I do this, I'll probably just buy it digitally since places are likely sold out.
A little annoyed that there's a season pass for a Nintendo game, but they're getting with the times so I guess I can't blame them.

Bleh, I caved. It'll be finished downloading by the time I get home from work.
US Amazon is having supply issues with the games. Isn't surprising, since Nintendo and Amazon have such a shaky relationship.
Canada Amazon has apparently, enough for all.
OOOOOOOOOOOH BOOO. I just checked the tracking, apparently Canada Post has changed the time for delivery from today to Monday. Damn you Canada Post.
Zelda in five hours.
Two hours.
This is assuming the Wii U will have downloaded 10 gigs since I left the apartment. It was crawling while the system was on, much slower than even my handhelds download things, but I'm hoping.

I'm about 4 hours in to Zelda and the switch. Have to say, I'm pleased. I'm a huge Zelda fan, so I'm biased, but I feel like the game was worth the price of admission. Remember when I bought the Wii U, then a couple days later returned it and got a PS4? I feel the complete opposite of that this time around. Its a joy to play. Lets see if I feel the same 30 hours in.
The Wii U apparently decided to give up downloading shortly after I left for work.
It's now crawling along from 2% downloaded.
Zelda in 40 hours ...

I predict this topic died because everyone else is playing Zelda.
Yup, there's Dei in my Friends list. Living that delicious life.

One day, you shall join us in paradise.
It was downloading at a good clip. Figured it'd be done by now.
Wii U shut itself off again. >_< But it should be done very soon now. You know, in time to go to bed, I guess.
I wish I could see the title screen.[DOUBLEPOST=1488597654,1488597416][/DOUBLEPOST]
Zelda is installed, but it's midnight and I have stuff to do in the morning, so I'll just have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to play.
I got home from work 22 hours ago, FYI. And yeah, it says only a few seconds. It's said that for a few minutes now
Bokoblin knocked me down and stole my weapon and chased me up a hill. I beat him with a stick. Later I realized I could steal their weapons too, so I did, and stole and ate their food too. Climbed around a temple roof, fell down, burned myself to death trying to cook apples on an open fire. Later stumbled upon a wild boss by accident.
I'm lovin it. Can't believe how pretty the game is.

I had a Bokobin steal the meat from a wild boar I shot. Fuck those guys.
I'm going to have to hike my ass back to the old man's cooking pot because I'm freezing trying to ascend Mt. Hylia without warning food.
A lot of what I'm hearing about the Switch makes me apprehensive. This is Nintendo's first foray into certain modern gaming elements and they're going to screw up some things.

There are campfires dotting the way, but the Bokoblins are parked around each of them. Some of these idiots throw exploding barrels at you, even if you're near an open fire. I've seen one of these assholes kill his friends with one, trying to get at me. Their society knows neither loyalty nor compassion.
I food-scummed my way up the mountain. Too late to do that one. I didn't realize it was a quest when I was poking around there.
Either way, I got it all done.
