Unfortunately I doubt they have much to say at the moment, with the pace a big game like this will move at. Plus the team will want to ensure it’s done right seeing as one version was already totally scraped.
Got a tip for us?

I've no problem with them reusing the existing world, as I really believe they'll make significant enough changes for it to feel fresh.
Hope they can get some significant dungeons in there this time though! And also, make some of my weapons feel like they're not made of warm cheese.
The world in BotW is just so cool. I’ve finished the game, but i just go back in to run around, hunt guardians, do some of the side quests and find unfinished shrines.
Oh, and im totally going to pick up the Ghostbusters port (so long as it performs well on the Switch)!!!
Agreed. I would have liked a whole new land to explore, but if they are going back to the same map (which it looks like they are) then I have faith that it will be changed enough and will have enough new things to make it worth while.
It looks like they are focusing on dungeons and subterranean exploration too!
Same reason everything is more expensive on the Switch.
The Switch tax. They can charge more and people pay it.

Many were mobile games or games with IAP and the devs can't monitize it on Switch, so they charge more up front...
I'd much rather have a new gen of DS/3DS that is much easier to lug around in the bag, rather than the Switch.
That being said, I completely understand Nintendo's attempt to encompass what the Switch delivers.

I took advantage of Gamestop's deal where your old switch in trade is worth $225. So to upgrade to the Rev 2 Swich is only $75...
For someone who plays 100% handheld, the extra battery life is worth it....
The only downside is I had to re-download everything - you can't just put your SD card in the new Switch - Nintendo make you re-download everything because of probably encryption...

It appears that GameStop has lowered the Switch's trade-in value to $175, down from $200; plus the current $25 extra until 9/15 = $200.
But for those who mainly use Switch for portable mode, the $100 expense would probably still be worthwhile!
A lot more popular than they thought, they're leaving money on the table....
I missed out when they were giving $150 for an Xbox One S plus another $150 towards an XBox One X which was $399 at the time - that would've been worthwhile an upgrade for $100...
But, alas, they're not doing well - which may be one of the reasons why...
loving the extra battery life!!!
Now the deal is $175 + extra $25 is $200 which is the price of a Switch Lite - great deal if you only use handheld and want to go more "mobile"...
actually, when I was upgrading mine, a guy came in and pre-ordered 2 Switch Lites (himself and girlfriend)
It is gonna be a hot item...
A wireless SNES controller for Switch has been filed.

I'm hoping this means that SNES games are coming to the online service soon! I never owned an NES as a kid, so those games do little for me. But I had a huge SNES collection, and I still have one at home. Having those games on the go would be awesome.

We need to be able to purchase the games individually instead of subscribe to a service...
Glad I don't have to subscribe for Nintendo Arcade Games - the one I really wanted was Donkey Kong (I put tons of Quarters in that one) and got it, most of the console versions were crippled in one way or another...
Online multiplayer for Mario Maker 2 can be fun, but they should require that your internet is better that .000001 MBPS
Yes, I would prefer a virtual console to just buy them, too. But if they offer a big library like they do with the NES games, I will be happy to play it that way. The online sub is really not that expensive.
Anyone else not know the Switch had a zoom facility -

Multiplayer VS has been (surprisingly) the best part of Maker for me. It is just so much fun. But yea that lag can be a killer
Oh I agree, it’s hilariously fun. I love messing with other players. And if I’m feeling generous, I’ll wait at the flagpole so people don't lose as many points.
It doesn't always go smoothly for me though

Hahaha wow that was a great pro level move by that player
SNES games coming to Switch Online tomorrow!! Hell yeah!!
Some good titles are missing, but they needed to save some hits to release over the coming months, so I am not worried. Mario World, Mario Kart, Zelda and F-Zero is a great start for me.
