I mean... if it came to it, you'd have to pry my Switch from my cold, dead hands. But I'm not sure I'd have got mine out in class to begin with.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@Magician the usual suspects.

@Magician WTH. Teachers need hazard pay. And body armor. I hope she is ok. So scary to have that be an outcome to something as simple as donโ€™t play games in class.

Saw the video of the attack on Twitter. Absolutely horrific.

Tetris Effect just got an update that adds TATE mode to the Switch version, among other modes and changes.

That's pretty awesome.

Just tried some Kirby Return to Dreamland and two things struck me...

1) Merry Magoland, the mini-game theme park, has some seriously high quality mini games. It almost felt like waking from a dream. After playing bad mini games for so many years, I'd forgotten what it was like to play good, quality mini games. Sometimes a game releases that has mini games so good, it reaches legendary status. Super Monkey Ball is one of those games, I'd say. And now, I'd add Kirby's Return to Dreamland to that list. It's possibly more fun than the main game.

2) Kirby has way more moves than I give him credit for. After checking the menu for controls, there were like 5 moves above and beyond the ones I already knew about. Some very select, situational moves. Some more common. But I was taken aback at just how diverse the moveset actually is, and that was just for the sword ability. 14 different moves listed for the sword! Granted, some are "underwater only" or "while in midair", things like that, but still. 14 moves!

I take a lot of pics on Switch, which I dump every on my computer every Monday at midnight, all organized by game, and sometimes with sub-folders depending on the game (like Splatfest pics in Splatoon 3).

Well, no new Pokemon games for Switch on this year.
So I can focus on playing other games then.

Excited about the DLC's but surprised there will be no other Pokemon game releasing this year.
Guess they want us to focus on Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Also playing The Elder Scrolls Online on PC.

I've had my Switch since August 2017, I think this year I'm gonna upgrade to an OLED model for my birthday.

It's a really nice system. Once you get one you'll wonder how you ever made due with the fat bezel LCD model.

The top shelf screen with perfect blacks and proper kickstand alone incentivizes handheld and tabletop play. And as we all know from behavioral science, incentives drive behavior. Ever since getting my OLED I've played more handheld and tabletop, and as a result, I've spent more time playing games, and that at the end of the day is more bang for buck.

@JaxonH The thing of it is, the only real reason I haven't gotten the OLED yet despite years passing is because I'm afraid the second I buy it, Nintendo will announce an absolute 4K model, and I will cry.

Are the gym leader rematches hard? I've still got my level 100 Skeledirge (nicknamed Aaron) so the Grass and Bug gyms should be a piece of cake still.

I've been in the same boat, and was in the same boat with the New 3DS, and the DSi. Of course in all of those other cases it wasn't that long until they did release new hardware. TBH? I do kinda regret not picking up the New 2DS because my 3DS XL was pretty worn out and in the dying breaths of the 3DS they were pretty damn cheap. These days people seem to be asking more for them used than they were selling new..........

With that said, I think waiting for new hardware at this point with the Switch is the right play. Firstly because the Switch is also a home console and, personally, I tend to use it more as a home console lately. So while mine is a Day 1 unit and it has seen better days (the screen lifts slightly on one side) it's not nearly as worn as my 3DS was. Also I don't think this transition to new hardware will be as cut-and-dry as it was from 3DS to Switch. Fairly solid chance Switch games will remain playable, certainly more than there was with 3DS

@TheBigBlue
There are a lot of devs who abuse the eShop like this. What they do is heavily discount to get to the top of the charts and then drop the discount. Their goal is to trick people into buying them when the price returns to normal but they're on the top of the charts. Those games are trash, don't bother with it, don't reward it, they're trying to scam people on the way out

@skywake @TheBigBlue

Nintendo of Murica have tried to curb this practice by setting the minimum price of a game (even after discount) to $1.99. Oddly enough, Nintendo still allows publishers in other territories to price their games however they'd like. As skywake mentioned, oftentimes those games discounted that deeply are trash-tier asset-flip re-skins. These days the Nintendo seal of approval stands for "quantity", not "quality".

That's a great quote from IGN's Daemon Hatfield.

I always regretted buying games on ultra discount. Then they live forever as clutter in your ehsop redownload page.

Worse yet. It's rough navigating the "deals" section of the eShop whenever 1,000+ games are on discount. There are genuinely good games that get lost in the shuffle as congestion just bogs browsing the eShop down to a crawl. And as you scroll down, even after using filters, there comes a point where the eShop will just cease loading games to browse.

Oftentimes I'll set my price filter at $2 to $9.99, along with prices highest to lowest, and the store will stop at games priced at $6.24 or some such nonsense. Even on a wired connection the eShop buckles.
