@Knuckles-Fajita : "This "New" Switch is very much like what Sony did several times with the PS4. Modify the internals a bit but there is no real difference. It maybe runs a bit cooler."
Absolutely NOT.
Nintendo took off what's make a Switch, a Switch.
No dock anymore.
No joycons anymore( which is even the logo of the system BTW).
No HD Rumble anymore.
No kick stand anymore (Goodbye Tabletop mode).
No 2 players mode with one system anymore.
No way to play 1-2 Switch/Nintendo Labo/Mario Party etc... anymore.
No readability for small text on screen anymore (from 6.2" to 5.5" screen).
I'm sorry but you cannot compare what Sony did with the PS4 and what BigN did with the Switch.
It's a nonsense.
The soul of the system is gone. They should have come with a standard switch with no dock in the box and that's all.
The dock cost $90, so here we are, $200 for a Switch that keeps all the essense of what a Switch is and not that kind of PSVita 2 that the Switch Lite is.
@PCkid No I mean what dataminers have found in the firmware as a "New" Switch, that a recent FCC filing shows is the same as the current original Switch...only using newer components.
What you are referring to is the Switch Lite.
What I am referring to is akin to how Sony took the PS4 and refined it over time even before the slim existed.

It's very much a streamlined, faster paced Monster Hunter, but streamlined only in comparison,- it's still chock full of depth in it's own right. For example, no sharpness meter. But you still have health and stamina, still have skills, 12 weapon types, items to bring with on a hunt, monsters still feed for stamina regeneration when tired, and enter an enraged state when angry. It's very similar but in it's own style and flavor.
And I like that. I've played 600 hrs of MH3U, 400 hrs of MH4U, 400 hrs of MHGen, 400 hrs of MHXX/MHGenUlt, and 150 hrs of World. It's nice to have a change of pace, still enjoy the genre but from a different perspective.
Will be playing DQ Builders 2 also at some point and will report back with thoughts in the near future.

@Ralizah Yeah the Splatoon theme felt much easier to get than the GB one. Which is good. Although I've been screwing up a ton because I kept harddropping at places I didn't want to because I wasn't paying attention. Rip.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
I'm pretty sure Xenoblade 2 will remain my most played Switch game whenever the Switch successor is released. I haven't even played Torna NG+ and it's ~245 hours ahead of 2nd place Splatoon 2 which gets a lot less fun after next week.
Damn, thankfully I don't care about Dragon Quest but if I did that would be 6 consecutive weeks of games I wanted if the recent Amazon Mexico listing is accurate:
August 30th - Astral Chain
September 3rd - Spyro Trilogy
September 13th - Daemon X Machina
September 20th - Link's Awakening
September 27th - Dragon Quest XI S
October 4th - Luigi's Mansion 3
August 22nd - Oninaki
August 30th - Astral Chain
September 3rd - Spyro Trilogy
September 13th - Daemon X Machina
September 20th - Link's Awakening / Ni No Kuni / Lite Switch
September 27th - Dragon Quest XI S
October 4th - Luigi's Mansion 3 (I’m guessing it’s correct, perfect time before Halloween)
October 11th - Witcher 3 (just watch, or better yet it’ll release Sept 20th 😁 )
Idk if I’m gonna have time for Monster Hunter Iceborne expansion. Normally I’d put everything else on the back burner but, these are games I really want to play. I’m sure I’ll figure something out but, my goodness...
Kinda feels the same way now, though.

@JaxonH I keep forgetting about Spyro. I’m inclined to give it a whirl, since I never had it. I played some on a friend’s, but most of our PS time was spent playing Vigilante(?) and Twisted Metal from what I remember.
This I think I’ll convince a friend to get it and borrow hers. Three of us live in the same neighborhood, we’ve gotta start planning these 3rd party titles better 😂

@Grumblevolcano ok just wondering. Wouldn't mind if it gets pushed back a week. Between astral chain and links awakening I'll be busy all September into early October. Might grab Spyro too..
@HobbitGamer
I’ve always had my doubts about Spyro, but the PS crowd sings its praises as if it’s as good as Mario.
So... I said we’ll see about that. I’m gonna buy the game and give it an honest go and see if it’s as good as they claim.
And ya, if you have people who can split purchases among and share, that’s an easy way to reduce cost, or catch 3x as many games. Smart move.

Keep forgetting about Oninaki, it looks fantastic.
God Eater 3 has its hooks in me..it’s all I can think about playing and MUA3 and Fire Emblem are just around the corner. A good problem to have I guess. lol
