Looks fun - I'll wait until they patch in Pro Controller support then will get it.
This will probably be my first digital switch game. Does anyone know if there is any kind of sharing of digital games on switch? My wife and I both have a Switch, which is why I'm wondering if there's any way to get it on both of our systems without buying it twice.
Regardless the game looks awesome! Glad to hear about the HD rumble.

I agree. This is a strange design decision. So long as it isn't a game that requires split joycons the pro pad should automatically work.

I turned it on with my pro controller and thought I'd got my first ever desync lol.
Turns out it wanted me to switch to Joycons.
One joycon in each hand while lying down is pretty damn comfortable though. Still prefer the oozingly perfect propad overall

Man this game is a blast. I'm in area 2 after about an hour. Simple exploration but fun combat and bosses so far.
HD Rumble is awesome, especially the feel of explosions after beating bosses. Hadn't really noticed what the fuss was about as all I'd playes really before this was Zelda, but i finally get what the big deal is!

There is not. You both have to buy it if you want it on two switches at the same time.

You can''t believe how psyched I was to find I still had this poster. It's crazy to think there was a time when they would build a physically articulated model for a magazine shoot like this!
sorry for the giant filesize

I thought there was some mildly complex workaround where you could log into another Switch, change that one to your primary Switch, download the game, and then each time you want to play on the other Switch you have to change it back to your primary Switch, and so on? Or something like that? Probably too complicated to be worth it when the game is only $10, though.

The video on the eshop and all the HD Rumble praise made me buy this. Gonna let it download whole I Zelda.

Bought pretty much because HD Rumble and $10.
Glad to see a decent price for a game near launch. Feels too rare most of the time (sadly)

(HD Rumble post)
Has anyone tested BMZ with a Pro Controller yet? Was the rumble just as profound as the joycons (which I assume is what most people are using)?

I'm guessing most people haven't beaten it yet.
Figured someone who bought it from the Japanese eShop last week would've chimed in.
Took me just under an hour to do the first zone and a bit. Think there are 8 zones. So somewhere around 6 hours sounds about right imo.
Thank you.
Well I remember dying a lot back in the day,getting lost finding the next upgrade to advance further and all...first time,if you never played I guess around 8 hours maybe...games back then wheren't that long.

In the comment section of the NintendoLife review, someone mentioned it took them 6 hours to beat the Japan version

Is the aspect ratio supposed to be less wide than the screen (on switch) with black borders?

Oh man, so many people playing Zero now, are in for a treat and a rude awakening if that go back to play the original lol.
The OG was super difficult, still never beat it. Gameplay is so smooth though. The opening cut scene with that soundtrack was just awesome back then.
This game makes me so happy though and I appreciate the pricing.

Loving the music in this game. The HD rumble is pretty nice too, you get a nice idea of the range of rumble the system can do.

Is the Co-Op the full game or a separate mode? How is it?
It's not full co-op. Think Super Mario Galaxy two player where the other person controls a reticle and can help you out at times.
Edit - here is a screenshot from destructoid review showing the "co-op" i believe, player 2 is the reticle.
It exists in your heart.

Thanks. Hmm that wasn't very fun in Galaxy. But its something at least. Ill get it when the Pro Controller patch comes out.

Ahh that's unfortunate, I was hoping to play with a friend at some point this week.

So can you play this with a single joycon while another player uses the second, or does it require you to use both?

Oh ok, that sounds promising. I'll get it eitherway bc I love the original so much. But I got burned with double dragon IV on ps4, so I just wanted to wait a sec before getting it.

Does it bother anyone else that the aspect ratio isn't 16:9 on Switch? For some reason, the black bars on the sides weirdly driving me nuts. I need to get over it and just enjoy the game.
The music is solid.
Edit: I also really like the pixel art. It looks nice on the Switch portable mode and on the TV.

Yeah.
Yes it does, and better than the Joy-Cons.
But the game doesn't support the Pro Controller yet. That patch is coming in a week.

it's about 6-7 hours
you could do it in more or less depending how much exploring you do
Guess it really is a remake of sorts as the first level is near identical to that of the NES game. Albeit some major changes are made, but the layout and design concept are near identical. Far less punishing obviously than the original as well.
Only played the first level so far, but seems like a more accessible way for those to experience this classic.

I find some HD Rumble implementation to be a little too aggressive but I love the more subtle vibrations like jumping out of water and using a charge shot. Explosions are just a tad too heavy.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Really miss Nintendo Power and their posters.
