Love that color of burple (blue-purple) on the newest Switch Lite.

But considering current drift issues, I still view that product as a waste of money.

A disaster just waiting to happen, after less than 400 hours of use.

@JaxonH Good to hear.

Although thinking more and more about the practical aspects I think I'm better off sticking to the one Switch. I really like the form factor and being able to play it right out of the dock.

I think I'd want the blue Lite as a collectable more than anything x_x

@timleon
Ya, sticking with one Switch is nice. You can't go wrong either way. My thing is, I have to carry it in a case, which is fine on weekends but not on weekdays to work. For that I need pocket friendly format. So for me it's the perfect supplementary device. But it all depends on your use case.

yay i just recieved a notification that my Monster Hunter Rise i gonna recieve today, i was schedule that i would recieve my Monster Hunter Rise on april 27 or april 30th, i so happy that i can finaly play this amazing game in my extended battery Switch.

@Giancarlothomaz
I timed Monster Hunter Rise on the v2 Switch on full brightness, max volume with wifi on. From 100% to the Switch dying and shutting off, it was basically exactly 4.5 hrs.

Join us in the Monster Hunter forum. Find others to hunt online with, or if you're more of a solo player, just talk shop with everyone else playing the game.

@JaxonH thanks and check out the 20 minutes Indie World Showcase of today.

@Giancarlothomaz
Already did. It was short, but there were actually quite a few good looking games in there.

Fez is finally coming to Switch (bout time). Ninja Turtles, a new Olli Olli game, that Getsu-whatever Konami game, even that Aztek game looked interesting.

But Fez and Ninja Turtles were by far the most exciting announcements.

Yes, but the music didn't match I think.

I'm excited for House Of The Dead, I'm hoping I can use the joy cons as a light gun or something like that.

Turtles, CrisTales, OlliOlli, Aztech and Aerial_Knight's Never Yield looked cool.

That presentation was disappointing. No surprise.

It sucks that it well Um sucked bc the last one we got in December Was amazing, So I did come into this one with high hopes. In other words. It was F**ING Trash.

I'm actually pretty excited for OlliOlli. Loved the games on Vita

Also nice to see Fez isn't dead

KeyWe has been announced from play-asia before Indie Direct just now.

What's the deal with House of the Dead? Wasn't that an arcade game back in the day? Like, an on rails shooter with a zapper gun?

If so, it NEEDS Gyro. If that's what it is and it has Gyro aiming, I'm all over it.

Cris Tales was the only repeat I remember seeing in previous Nintendo presentations.

The rest of what was shown all seemed fairly interesting.

Fez's return was the biggest surprise, considering all the controversy around Phil Fish way back when.

@Magician
I used to want Fez on 3DS so badly, just due to how the perspective shifts around in 3D. I thought it would be perfect on 3DS- the definitive version. And I still stand by that. They should have released Fez on 3DS.

But Switch is the next best thing, and tbh... I'm surprised it took this long.

Cool to see Fez come to the Switch, though I have it on PC already. I like that game quite a bit. TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Olli Olli, and There Is No Game all look quite good, too. I'll probably give the Never Yield demo a shot too.

@JaxonH Yeah, House of the Dead is a series of on rail shooter arcade games from SEGA and got ported to consoles a few times too. There use to be a HOTD machine at my local cinema where I use to play it before seeing a movie.

Gyro would be nice by my preference is for a light gun.

Konami actually made a game that looks like it has a budget

And it looks GOOD

@TheFrenchiestFry
Apparently it was a JP-only NES game that's being remade or reimagined or its a sequel or something? I'd never heard of it, probably because, ya know, Japan only. Very unexpected seeing this from Konami.
