I'll pay for it anyway because I really like to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 online (there are others but I don't enjoy them as much), anything else will be a bonus for me. I don't really care for NES games so hopefully we get SNES or GBA games in the future.

...Gamecube games would be worth more than the price of online to me, but it seems unlikely

Mmmm Cracker Jacks. I’ll be getting a sub, because I’ll be getting SSBU. And I don’t mind the price.

@HobbitGamer @Tyranexx You have to go to the "beyond" section at bed bath and beyond, but now thinking about it, I think all copies of Let's GO Pikachu & Eevee are being recalled to be reworked into Let's GO Lucario versions.

Also yesterday at said event, managed to capture 11 shiny eevees! The eevee forces thought they could hide, however, when ya got dat aura Pokemon on your side, it's quite easy to fish them out. Thankfully, said event continues later today, will capture MOAR shiny eevees to use as a way to make Chun-Li a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultima-I mean, uhhhh, will just turn all eevees into candy.

Also, will probably get the switch online service to play Ice Climber co-op online!

Welp. So I decided it was a good idea to open up my 2DS to clean the screen (it's full of tiny dust specs that basically make it impossible to play under any sort of external light).

I wasn't able to remove all the screws on the motherboard, the last one decided it wasn't having any of it. But as I was putting it back together I noticed I had somehow ripped the camera ribbon cable. Not completely, but the damage was severe enough.

Now the camera doesn't work. And anything that tries to use it crashes.

The good thing is I bought a Link edition 2DS last year that has been sleeping in it's box since then. So I can transfer to that.

The bad news is this is a transparent blue 2DS and I love it. I'll definitely have to get it fixed some day but... For now... It will be in cryogenic stasis. Inside the Link 2DS box.

Anyone know the capacity of the Nintendo Switch battery? I mean the battery life, not mah.

@DannyBoi Battery life can vary a lot depending on the game. A Warriors game might only last a couple of hours for me but Sonic Mania lasts ages...

@Kimyonaakuma Yeah, likeLego City Undercover lasts about 4hr26minutes, yet games that are not demanding last 2hrs30minutes. I can't understand the big difference in battery life.

@Yosheel
Something bad happened to one of my systems as well today. My Vita stopped charging. I think it's the cable, but it could be the propriety cable socket. That would be really bad as I don't know where I could repair it where I live.

Sigh... I've been really invested in it recently.
Gotta play my 3DS or my Wii instead now.

Props to you for even trying. I hate having to open up working electronics since I'm paranoid that I'll inevitably screw something up. I was walking on tacks just replacing the battery in my old 3DS last year (I was mostly afraid of striping, which wasn't severe thankfully).

The Switch online subscription currently wouldn't do me any favors since I don't own one yet. Even so, I'm unsure if it would offer enough (at least at launch) for me to jump on board. I rarely play games online these days, and as a whole I have most of the NES games that I would be interested in on the VC.

@DannyBoi I think it's just because some games use more resources than others. A online 3D game would need a lot more power than a 2D platformer for example.

Personally I think it's mostly to do with the GPU, they're well known for needing lots of power and games which take full advantage of it drain much faster. I guess that's the problem with console-level graphics on a portable system

@Tyranexx I may buy a replacement piece and try to fix it myself. It's the first time I actually break anything while thinkering with a console...

It shouldn't be too hard... If I don't break it again...

Edit: bought the piece off eBay. Should be here soon enough. In three months or so....

@ReaderRagfish
Actually, i got Tad Amiibo card from ACNL Welcome Amiibo as my 3rd copies of ACNL. I used Tad Amiibo card to get rid Rod (Purple Rat) from my 1st town. The reason i get rid him because i want the last villager is Rooney (Boxer Blue Kangaroo). But Rod never want to leave considered he was the 10th villager, so i use Tad Amiibo card to replace Rod & i use my 3rd copy as my 3rd town to accept Rod as a new villager on my 3rd town.

But, same as Rod, Tad never want to leave unless if someone else move out first or if i buy Rooney Amiibo card, i can summon him by force to get rid Tad.

My 3DS that I've had for years is currently on life-support. In order to keep it running, I have to keep it plugged in to a charger; otherwise it will immediately turn off, no matter how long it's been charged. Thankfully, I was able to transfer all of my data to my New3DS.

I've been thinking about picking up a New 3DS XL in about a year or so (provided newly minted systems aren't full 2D by then). Nothing is currently wrong with my OG 3DS, but I'd like some added assurance that my 3DS library will be accessible for years to come. I feel like 6+ years is starting to push it.

I almost caved for the SNES XL that's been making the rounds recently, but I'm getting slammed with home improvement and "Your car needs a new registration sticker" bills right now.

Who else is bored as hell?

.......what the......

@SuperLuigi111
I have been playing Dance Dance Revolution Arcade for almost 15 years and NEVER get bored. Still play DDR Arcade until today.
They secrets are ...... Loyalty, Love and Passion.

I'm just bored of all my games right now. Feel like I've played them all a lot, and most of them are not worth replaying. Smash Bros. U is coming in the mail tomorrow, so that'll be fun. But until then I'm dying of boredom.

@SuperLuigi111
Play Open ending games like Animal Crossing New Leaf / Portal Knights / Miitopia / etc.
Add with some Physical Activities to balance your mood such as Cleaning your bedroom, dusting your games collection, trying new hobbies, etc.
And don't forget have a nice drink to relax your mind.

If those are not working, have an Outdoor activities, Hiatus for a while from gaming and you can always comeback whenever you ready.

I was playing Fallout 4 but burned myself out on it. Might pull out some retro games...been thinking about it. I hate cleaning my room because it's not fun but maybe I'll get my ass to do it. I don't drink though.
