The Nintendo Switch Thread! - Deadly Premonition 2: Blessing in Disguise 7/10 - Paper Mario: The Origami King 7/17

Crap I forgot about the upcoming MAHVEL DLC with Blade and Punisher!!!

I have been on MHW: Iceborne for the past few weeks, my Switch was collecting dust.

I think you mentioned this for The video game GD. Lol.

I’m guessing it’s the worst kept secret from WB; the court of owls story based game

Dammit…thought I had posted it in there…

Pirates Curse is similar but it doesn’t feature the animal transformations, still has interesting powers. Some even prefer it as the best Shantea game. All the games in the series have that similar game play so if you can get the remasters of the older games you will get some good games no matter what.

Imagine where we would all be had this playing card company not succeeded in bring video games back from the brink or if their earlier gambles as the cab service or the love hotels had worked out.

Video games were at the Brink of destruction in the west, mostly the US.
Video games were just starting in Japan. and Europe was more into the home 8bit Microcomputers like the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and the Amstrad

There are actually people who bought the Lite for the purpose of not wanting to undock their original Switch(I understand the Lite may be preferred when playing portable). Too bad it doesn’t work as seamless as they think and now they are upset.

Idk, that logic just seems dumb to me and defeats the purpose of a Switch in the first place.

What made them think it would work seamlessly like they wanted?

But why doesn’t it work? If its the same Nintendo account and got your data saved to a microSD what stops you from just moving stuff around as you please?

I get that it isn’t practical but thats life for some people

sheeeiiiiitttt, I was tempted but decided to wait on Switch Lite… I figured they might have more (and better) color/design options later.

Why do you need a Lite tho? You have a base Switch.

Are the Link’s Awakening Amiibo’s hard to find?

Went to the Nintendo Store one last time before leaving NYC today. Bought 2 hoodies too and then this is the greatest shirt of all time.

The Zelda hoodie I got may be one of the best hoodies I’ve ever seen too.

Also started Link’s Awakening today and played through the second dungeon. Game is great. I’m a bit surprised with the performance issues though. The framerate can’t keep up quite often and it’s pretty surprising. Definitely thought that would be polished with a title as big as Zelda.

Depends. Store fronts usually run out of stock quick. BestBuy is your best bet if you want to walk in and grab one.

Pretty much every dotcom store app has physical store inventory trackers though. Finding one should be super easy.

Online the only places that seem to be sold out are Walmart and Amazon

Was more curious about the Amiibo’s because they had a bunch at that NYC Nintendo store as of this morning, as well as Dreamer editions still.

Here is the Zelda hoodie I got. This is one of my all time favorite hoodies, Zelda affiliated or not. Most people won’t even know it’s Zelda at all.

And then got a classic Nintendo one too.

Zelda amiibo generally become the most rare amiibo in the long run since LoZ is arguably Nintendo’s biggest and most dominant IP. Even the most casual of Zelda fan wants them. So they sell out quickly

The only thing that comes close or surpasses their rarity are often bundle exclusive ones. Like the Gold Mega Man, the Mega Man 11 amiibo and Poochy from the 3DS version of Epic Yarn.

Solaire of Astora and Mega Yarn Yoshi are also super rare.

There are Japanese exclusive ones that are becoming more and more rare but I don’t particularly count those.

That’s so sick, dude! I’m fucking jealous.

kinda caught up in the hype, admittedly…and seeing it as like a “backup” Switch…that sort of thing. Heh, I also had 2 PS Vitas–the OLED and the Slim…and for a different reason I had 2 PSPs back then. (one was “plain” and the other was modded)…hahah at one point, yes—I was indeed bringing my 2 Vitas to work every day.

lately I’ve been on X-Morph Defense— the first area was South Africa, if I recall…they were unable to stop the alien forces at my command… so now we’ve moved on to Canada. Soon, the entire planet will be under our control…

Haha. I feel yah. I was helping electronics with inventory last weekend and I came across a box of the turquoise model of the Lite.

That was me for a good 30 seconds until my coworker snapped me out of it.

Yeah dude I saw that when I first went in and almost got it then, but we hadn’t even checked in to our hotel so I didn’t wanna carry shit around with us. I knew I was going to go back to get a shirt or hoodie or something and when I tried it on and how it fit too, I had to get it. It fits very nicely and is super comfortable. It’s thin but feels like it will be warm too.

I just decided to splurge and spent like $170 on clothes today there for myself and got my wife and son a shirt too. No clue next time I will be in NYC. I almost got the damn navy blue Zelda hoodie too that was a pullover with a zelda logo across the chest, but thought 3 hoodies was excessive.
