Nintendo to Double Production of Switch Console

Really? The game is so good that it's worth spending $300+ on a single game? I'm sure Zelda is great, I've enjoyed past Zelda games, but I don't understand how they always seem to be reviewed better than other games and justify this hype.

I've been playing Horizon on PS4 and it's fantastic, plus the console actually has value outside of a single game.

For some input from someone who's never been a Zelda fan (me), when watching this game, I think I understood the hype. Previous Zelda titles never interested me, but this one looks like it takes some of the best elements from the Dark Souls and Monster Hunter series gameplay and applies them to the Zelda universe, with the bonus of a huge open world ready for exploration. It has me considering a Switch just for this one game as well. It looks like an incredibly enjoyable to me as a fan of those aforementioned game series, though of course I haven't personally played it yet.

I mean, it launched less than a month ago. Only wanting a single game so far is not that crazy. I'm sure they'll release a few more ;)

It might be, if it weren't for the fact that the game already exists on the Wii U and is basically identical.

I tried to buy a Switch and Zelda on launch day, but couldn't find one locally and settled for the Wii U version. I haven't been disappointed.

I'll probably buy a Switch when the new Mario comes out for it in like 6-10 months.
