I belong to the PC gaming master race and generally look down upon the console plebs. i was like that before i realized i could put the damn thing on my tv and when a game started or something i could use it as a handheld, or even go to the bathroom besides Zelda: BoTW being the greatest game ive ever played, is that good and perfect. | ||

but yes, portability is huge as much as my Vega56 + 1700X let me play Doom at 1440p / 120+fps, the switch let me play doom while walking | ||

Are there any other top notch kids games (the oldest two are 6 and 4) that I should consider? I strongly prefer MP/split screen games for obvious reasons. Mario Kart, Snipperclips. Maybe Mario Odyssey? I haven't tried the multiplayer but it would be easy for the four year old to feel like he's playing without really having to do much, which in my experience is what 4 year olds often want out of video games. I haven't tried ARMS but that seems like it might be fun. 1, 2, Switch is a bad game in general but little kids would probably like it a lot. There's probably other stuff on the online store they'd like (iirc they put some Street Fighter games and a bunch of indie games in there). Not multiplayer (yet), but I would have loved Stardew Valley as a kid Edit: minecraft? | ||

Let me repeat my heresy... OCARINA OF TIME IS WAY-OVERRATED. | ||

BotW is a pretty big departure for the Zelda series, though, so you might give it a shot anyway. | ||

Breath of the wild is 100% worth your time. Many people describe what I experienced, which is roughly along the lines of: "I thought I could never be as entranced by a game as I was when I was 10 because of age. Somehow, breath of the wild overcame that and I felt like I was a kid again, unable to put the game down". It is a very uniquely fun game. Also, for an awesome family game, consider getting "Overcooked". It is a super fun little team game. | ||

I think devs need to be mindful about the hybrid nature of the console. I was playing the Octopath demo, and as beautiful as the game is, the text was tiny in portable mode. The game looked perfect on the TV, but very difficult to play in kickstand mode. On the DS/3DS, there's only one way to play it so devs are typically very good with blowing up the text to a readable size. It would be cool if the text size was different in TV mode and portable mode to make it more readable. I understand that having giant lettering that takes up half the screen looks silly on the TV, but it's necessary in portable On December 20 2017 22:50 ChristianS wrote: Mario Kart, Snipperclips.

I played Odyssey 2-player with my brother. It's horrible (but hilarious, we were having fun). It's very difficult trying to do basic things like looking around. Your kids might hate each other after playing Mario Odyssey together Having different tastes and preferences = Overrated, clearly | ||

People who play OoT 15 years after launch for the first time ever, based on the recommendations from the people mentioned above, will think it sucks bigtime. Unfortunately I'm in the latter category, having played OoT after playing Twilight Princess (and every single handheld zelda), it's a solid last place on my list of best zelda games. | ||

I played OoT for the first time on the 3DS. I think it's an absolutely amazing game. So uh, i don't really think you can make a statement like that. | ||

Why should they think that? How does OoT gameplay or story change after 15 years? Or are you saying that you rate a game based on its graphics? | ||

Controls were bad, graphics were terrible (both of these are probably fixed on the 3DS so that's good), gameplay was nothing special (considering I had already played all the later zeldas who have the exact same gameplay but better), and the story is average at best. I get that it was revolutionary for its time but come on guys lol. Very much with xdaunt here, the game aged terribly. | ||
