Lots of good pictures and impressions from GameXplain. Apparently the Switch Lite's matte finish gives it a good 'feel' in hand (alongside the fact that it's one unit, as opposed to a tablet with two joycons snapped on to the sides). And, shown side-by-side, it is a good deal smaller, even if it's large for a dedicated handheld.

Now I just need to hear about how they're going to deal with games like Pokemon Let's Go and Splatoon 2 for those of us who own the original and want to actively use both models.

Could I utilize both a switch lite and regular switch together under the same Nintendo account? Or is it still locked to one system or the other?

Then I guess it is viable to have a lite as a travel unit and leave the old switch at home.

You just need to transfer the relevant save files for games that don't support cloud before and after traveling.

The cloud saves do it automatically for every other game.

Of course, the travel unit would need to be the primary.

@Tsurii OK, that's not too bad, then. Thanks!

@scubydo You should be able to use one as a secondary console, in addition to your main console. The primary difference is that the secondary one needs to periodically (every few hours, I believe) validate the licenses for your digital games, and you can only play on your own account.

Thankfully, it seems to be fairly painless to change which system is designated as your primary console.

@Tsurii That was rather useful, thank you for the video. I don't need one for travel but I may start toting my OG switch to my Fighting game meetup so that is good information to have.

@Dev893 WOW!! I adored both of those as a kid and would love some remasters. Hope that rumor pans out soon!

Would it not make sense to just sell a tv only switch box. Then people could use switch mini on the road and a switch/shield box at home. They could sell it for 100 cheaper than an actual switch. So you could either buy a reg switch. Or a combo of the mini and the box.

LiteSwitch is lookin hot. D-pad seems to be OG Nintendo legit, and the analog sticks are ever so slightly larger. Really loving the white color of the sticks and D-pad and buttons too. Making me rethink waiting for the Pokémon edition in favor of the classic grey/white. I think that would look really classy taking that to work. Especially in a new leather pouch Waterfield (SFBags) is designing with the community.

Dragon Quest XI S Impressions
I’m in love. I realized this when I made a daring escape and jumped off a cliff, at which point the game broke to the intro cut scene. I thought the demo had ended, and suddenly felt my stomach sinking, as I wanted to keep playing so badly. “Ahh, it’s already over” I thought. I started feeling really depressed because I’m enjoying this game so much!

But then it asked me to save, and it kept on going. Yes! That’s how I feel right now. Just lots of yes!

I can already tell this game is going to challenge my fave JRPGs of all time for top spot. Whether it ultimately claims the tippity top is yet to be determined, but I know it’s gonna land somewhere in the top 5 or 10, with a fair shake at #1 judging by what I’ve played and seen thus far. It would have to outdo Xenoblade Chronicles 1, X and 2, Final Fantasy X and XII, Persona 5 and will likely see some competition from Shin Megami Tensei V, but I think it has a real shot. Either way, when a game is good enough to merit the company of those others in conversation, I don’t really think it matters whether it pans out with the crown or not. It’s good enough.

Aladdin SNES was my jam back in the day, I played the crap out of it. I might still have it lying around someplace. A bunch of my SNES games were stolen years and years ago, can't remember if it was among them. Anyway, it's an immortal classic, much better than the Genesis version if you ask me.

“Why do you speak of certain reversals—machinery connected wrong, for instance, as being ‘ass backwards’? I can’t understand that. Ass usually is backwards, right? You ought to be saying ‘ass forwards,’ if backwards is what you mean."

How far back are we remastering now then?

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

There is a dutch electronics website that got their hands on the Nintendo Switch (on video). They liked it, even preferred the built/controller over the original. Buttons & joycon all ´felt´ (very) different. More sturdy, they said.

Please do mind: this is Dutch!

Hopefully, when Nintendo made things more sturdy, they also removed all joycon drifting causes...
