@JaxonH That's probably it then. I just wish it would have said how long it would have take before I started because now I don't want to stop and brick my system.

Probably not that rare. It was my first, and kids are being born every day, which means each year 5 million new kids age into their gaming years, just in the United States alone. Not to mention plenty of ppl who were of gaming age but didn't play the others, for whatever reason (wasn't into gaming at the time, didn't own a Wii/DS, or maybe they did but just never bought those particular games) or, maybe they did but it was many yrs prior so NSMBU still feel just as fresh. In any case, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. All I know is I love it.

It matters most to me too. Too much emphasis on power and graphics these days. Not that those are a bad thing. It's just overemphasized. And what's nice is, diminishing returns means handheld is catching up to console, closing the gap further and further with each generation. The difference between 3DS and Wii U was massive. 3DS could barely even run pared down GameCube/Wii games. And yet now, the gap between Switch and PS4/X1 is much smaller. It's running the exact same games, and in HD, just at lower framerates and resolutions.
When Switch 2 drops, the gap between it and PS5/XS is going to be even smaller. To the extent there really won't even be a reason to buy games on any other system, unless it's just out of dire loyalty. If Switch 2 can run AAA multiplats at even 720p 60fps docked, and use DLSS to upscale to 1440p, or 1080p 30fps docked, with DLSS to upscale to 4K, essentially offering 1440p 60 or 2160p 30, while also offering the game at 720p 30fps handheld, and also offering the game at 720p 30fps tabletop... why play games anywhere else? Right now I can understand because some games do take some fairly noticeable downgrades (though even so, it's still worth it to a LOT of ppl), but imagine when the difference shrinks to microscopic levels with the Switch 2...
BTW I also appreciate Sony finally making some innovations. I'm not as sold on the triggers (maybe if the controller had better battery life so it wasn't draining precious battery), but the improvements in haptics are chef's kiss. Just wish the controller wasn't so fat.

I really hope that Switch successor or Switch 2 whatever you call it never use the Joycons again. The joycons are easily one of the worst controller i’ve used.
So outside of when my tv was partially broken and handheld mode saved my gaming experience on the system, my favorite use of handheld mode, just like the Wii U, is re-experiencing GBA nostalgia (Castlevania, in case you're wondering, since obviously GBA isn't on NSO). GBA on console would also be fine because I had a GCN GBA Player but the nostalgia of playing on particularly the original wide GBA screen has been perfect for this.
And since its Circle of the Moon, its the best type of nostalgia where I don't even deal with being unable to see the game nor failing to be good enough to get past early bosses like I did when I played it back then.
Damn, judging by how today's gone for the XC3 Special Edition preorders (approaching 12 hours of the store being down due to too many people trying to view the store) it feels like there's zero chance of me being able to get Bayonetta 1 physical.
Thats really the solution. It's proven effective at Limited Run Games.
But then look at all the criticism and complaints leveled toward LRG. "It takes too long". That's the price paid for taking preorders in advance. You can't have it both ways. Granted, Nintendo could do shorter lead times given they own the production process. But still.

I just did the cardboard Joy-Con drift fix with limited tools.
(What I used)
1 Tri-wing screwdriver 1 Philips-head screwdriver A random guitar pick Some tape I found last minute behind a door and is the only tape in my house at the moment Cardstock that's as thick as a quarter cut into a small square Prayer
I did it in under 20mins. I'm very proud of myself I didn't screw it up.
