Been downloading all my games onto my 1TB micro SD card on the OLED Switch, and it's taken about 3 days to get everything re-downloaded. Woke up this morning and there were only 9 games remaining.
Wanted to get that done and over with before continuing to play Metroid Dread. But now that I found that microSD stash cartridge, I'll have to do it all again for the 1TB of games that couldn't fit. That's a lot of downloading.

Is there any sites that highlight the best games on sale in the Nintendo e-shop? Just been scrolling and seen Golf Story and heard loads of good things so that's a definite buy. But it would be nice to not have to scroll through the whole site hoping stuff jump out at me.
@MightyDemon82@Flippy Seconding Deku Deals, since they have a "hottest games" on sale section. Great site. It also tracks the history of price fluctuations and lets you know when a game hits a new all-time low price in sales.
@Ralizah@Flippy thanks guys. I'll check it out, my sister gifted me a voucher for watching her cat for a few days, so I'll go and start filling up the new Oled with some game(s)!
Well, he was wrong about the OLED Switch, confusing it with the successor, so I'm not sure how much stock I'm putting into what he says atm.
Clearly he knows things- he was the first (and only) one to insist DMC Trilogy was coming to Switch. But still. 2022 or early 2023 just doesn't make any logical sense, especially with high Switch sales are right now and with OLED just dropping.
So no, I'm not convinced. OLED buys at least two years before announcing something more. 2024 is my target date.

@JaxonH I think it'll come down to backwards compatibility and the chip shortage, if there's full backwards compatibility with Switch and they managed to get enough chips then I could see holiday 2022/early 2023 as part of Nintendo's new "do or die" mindset to try and prevent a momentum drop that's comparable to the late Wii era (Nintendo has mentioned they waited too long to release a successor to the Wii).
@Grumblevolcano
That's a fair point and one of the reasons I believed they would release a more powerful variant (which, it seems they wanted to but changed plans due to a number of reasons).
Still, one yr after OLED still seems too soon. Switch will still be riding high 2 yrs from now, of that I'm confident. And, let's not forget the other thing they said, which is they want to extend this generation.
Late 2023 trailer similar to the late 2016 trailer, with a January 2024 info dump reveal, and a March 2024 release.

Oof. They want $50/yr for Online + Expansion Pass? You're drunk Nintendo.
I thought it would be $10 more. I really want those N64 games, but at $30/yr extra, I think I'm good. It's the same cost as buying 4 of them, the difference is not owning. Technically speaking the value is there IF you would have bought at least 4 N64 games per year on average (also accounting for Genesis games, I guess).
But uh... I actually think I'm good. They're gonna need to either lower prices to $30 or add GameCube if they want that much from me.

On the one hand, I hate that this will add more reason for me to regret engaging with online communities.
On the other, using the subscription as a way to unlock DLC is an intriguing concept. I wonder what they can do in games beyond Animal Crossing.
