@JaxonH Reminds me of a friend of mine who told me he was considering buying a Switch, but thought it was too expensive. A week later he showed up with a Switch. Proceeded to tell me MK8 was too expensive at €60. A week later again, and he had a copy of MK8.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE That whole time I spent playing Minecraft the other week, I didn't hook it up to the TV once. I'm not exactly in awe of Minecraft's graphics anyhow.
I've never owned a copy of Skyrim, so I feel like buying it is justified if I want to play it again. Rayman Legends, on the other hand, I own on Wii U. Gotta follow my no-double-dipping rule.
@Octane@JaxonH
Lol - yea, I've had a similar experience. I have an old friend from high school that I still get to see a few times a year, and this guy has always been 100% NO Nintendo. He builds PCs and always gamed on Xbox for his console. Actively made fun of Nintendo whenever we'd talk about games for as long as I can remember him.
My wife and I went down to spend a day at his pool, and lo and behold: he has a Switch, loves it, and is proclaiming BotW as one of the best games he's ever played. (He even bought it for 100 bucks over retail on EBay lol) To say I was a little shocked doesn't even begin to cover it. Strangely enough, he enjoys playing it undocked and propped while using the Joycon in each hand, which is something I would never do unless I was on a train or plane. But more power to him!
@JaxonH Weird how Splatoon 2 has that effect. My nephew was intrigued by the idea, but he wasn't that excited about it, but after playing my copy for a few hours, he was moaning about how he wished he had the money for a Switch, lol. Unfortunately he's only 13, and thus can't really afford a 400 CAD console, on top of the games and Pro controller and whatnot, but I'm sure he would own one right now if money wasn't an issue.
I was addicted to Rayman Legends challenges back in the day, but I still don't really feel like buying the game again. I doubt there's too much of an audience left for it by now, in fact, but considering how many platforms Rayman 2 has been on (launch title for DS and 3DS!), I don't suppose that's going to stop them.
Speaking of which, I don't think Rayman 2 is even that good. Perhaps it was good by the standards of the time, but I found it rather meh when I finally played it. I guess it may be kinda like Super Mario 64 in that way, except without the part where it's the best speedrun game ever.
@Zyrac
I think, for me, there's 2 reasons why I'm buying Rayman Legends again. For one, it's an excellent game, and I want as many excellent games consolidated on my new "play everywhere, home or away, with me 24/7" Switch.
For two, I want a good platformer to play on the go, and few are better than Rayman. Its just one more option to choose from every day when I pull my Switch out, and I like options.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
@JaxonH Do you really need option number 45 though lol. I'm assuming that's how many Switch games you already have. Never saw you turn down a good game!
John 8:7 He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.

If I was only ever able to have Monster Hunter and EO games in the future, I would be a happy man.
Is it just me, or does the Switch's wireless signal improve when it is docked? Playing Splat2n in handheld is spotty unless I move closer to the router, but when docked I have no issues at all. Even though it's in roughly the same position I normally play in handheld.
Well, it's the third time it's happened. And I have pictures!
This time, I'm sure it was never docked nor plugged in at any point in the process. And it won't go away until I power it on.
And here's the really weird part: my phone's mobile hotspot still had it listed under "connected devices." So it's giving out a wireless signal, despite being "turned off." Why?
The Switch's WiFi seems pretty bad tbh. I literally can be like less than 20 ft from my router and will experience issues with the signal on my Switch. I've never really had this issue before. Even so, it's become awful because I keep having lag and disconnects with Splatoon due to a poor signal even though I'm not to far from my router.
@-Green-@KirbyTheVampire Yeah, I seem to get "Communication Error('s)" quite frequently when I play Mario Kart online...my Switch's Wi-Fi does seem to have been responsible for that on occasion (I'll check the home menu and see that the Wi-Fi signal is displaying no bars for a few seconds) - but other times it doesn't appear to have dropped out, so maybe it's partly because the servers aren't the most stable?
It's not too bad - but still kind of frustrating nonetheless... :/
