I'm buying the Wii U version, I'm sure it's fine. I won't be finding out firsthand.

Mouth feel is #1 importance to me. Idk what's wrong with the rest of you heathens. What's the point of vidya games if they don't even taste good?

Have you ever licked a Wii U disc?

I voted for "No effing way" but a part of me knows that, given enough time with nothing to do, it's inevitable that I just have to know.

I assume the switch will be installing Firmware as soon as I launch it, so I'll need to do something.

Only if it buys me dinner first

I'll wait for Griffin McElroy's expert opinion before I put any switch cartridges in my mouth.

@hunkulese: Nope.

oh thought this thread was gonna be about some weird in game feature where you could lick zelda... /sadface

That's between me and Zelda

I will definitely smell it.

I'm reminded of last weeks UPF.

If she's cool with it

No

I bet the WiiU disk, with its smooth edges, would make for great licking material

Also this:

#spoilers

You will have bought it. Meaning it is your property. This joke is taking a turn for the worse.

No, I'd rather touch Zelda's shoulder

This is going down a dark path

What have you done, Jeff

This thread is both the best and the worst of Giant Bomb. A light and a dark world, if you will.

How long before you all are diagnosed with Switch Cartridge induced cancer?

That seems ill-advised. Also, for those who download, how do you lick?

I'm more interested in how the game plays than how it tastes, but to answer your question..... maybe?

DO NOT DO IT

The community is split!

those edges are so soft...

I could tell you, but it might void your warranty.

...I could eat a peach for hours.

My neck... My back...

Something something something Master Sword dick joke blahblahblah etc etc

Me too, but it is going to be one of the first things I do when I get my hands on a cartridge.

No, not into cracking open my Wii U after I download BotW to slobber all over it.

They should make different games taste like different bad things related to the game kinda like Harry Potter jelly beans. Zelda could taste like Epona's horseturd for instance.

I can't lick a digital download unfortunately

I already do

I asked my mom. She said video game aren't for eating.

You can either lick and know, or always wonder what it would be like. I know what i would do.

I also hope that licking the cartridge becomes the new 'blow on the cartridge' . I can see some youtubers making clips where they ' magically fix' their cartridges by licking it. Hope it catches on :)

Jeff really is a bad influence.

Yeah i wanna lick Zelda but i don't want to play the game.

Not with that attitude

No. I trust Jeff's reaction enough to know its a bad idea.

If you do it long enough, everything bad start to seem good...

The more i think about it, the more i wonder which taste is both harmless and disgusting to 99% of the people.

Since it's mostly to prevent kids from putting it in their mouth, i assume it's a bitter or sour taste? But you have people that love those flavours.

I'd lick her in a few places, sure why not.

Why is this a thing? There's so much damn chatter about putting this game in people's mouth. Fahey over at Kotaku just did a bit about it. What am I missing? To be fair I'm not a Zelda fan. I have nothing against Zelda just never really played any of them. Is there some weird Zelda lore that has made salivating on a copy of Zelda a thing?

I didn't know Zelda was into that kind of stuff.

I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of curious.

Im not into licking dudes....

I'm not going to get it myself but I know who does. they know nothing of my plans

As long as it has the common courtesy to give me a reacharound
