This is almost exactly what I've been asking for (not the eshop part) since the Switch 1 released. I really liked the activity log the 3DS had, so I'm really happy to have this now.
The whole "over 50 hours" thing was rubbish, would have been nice to have this on the Switch itself, but having the data from the 3DS on the app is really nice.
I think it was a good call, to separate themselves from everyone else.
My first, and only Gameboy Color was purple (or grape), and I remember I looking at it from behind the glass case feeling a lot like the execs: "It just didn’t feel masculine". I was like, maybe 10 at the time, but purple really did look and feel “girly”.
The lady at the register assured me it wasn't a big deal and I immediately got over it.
@thiz It's probably because of a certain word you used, rather than complaining about ports; which is a valid criticism in itself. I think a lot of people are tired of ports in general as well.
I didn't have any issues with the game crashing, so if anyone's on the fence about trying to beat it then I hope that helps.
As a side note, I noticed some people complaining about the difficulty. I don't consider myself a 'hardcore' or 'pro' gamer, but the game wasn't 'that' difficult. It had its moments where I had to stop, and think about what I was doing (and why), but overall the experience was enjoyable.
So if you haven't played it and are worried about the difficulty--it's fine. It also helps if you take a small break when you're stuck on anything, and reengage with fresh eyes.
"nOLED" hah, I love. Like one previous person stated, I'll "upgrade" if/when my current Switch stops working. I do play my Switch in handheld, but I got the SMB edition Switch when it came out, so it still feels too soon for me to buy another one.
I was unsatisfied with the ending for the first game, so I'm going to wait until the reviews for this one comes out. Everything else about the first was enjoyable though.
Dang, I was sorta-maybe-kinda looking forward to this one, but this and all the other reviews made me feel otherwise. I might wait until there's a sale, if unless I just forget entirely.
I completely forgot about SkateBIRD, but I'm looking forward to it whenever it (actually) releases. It's been on my Wishlist on the Nintendo site for several months now.

Re: Nintendo's American Branch Didn't Like The Idea Of GameCube Being Purple

Re: Tomb Raider Will Finally Make Its Switch Debut With Two Lara Croft Titles In 2022
@thiz It's probably because of a certain word you used, rather than complaining about ports; which is a valid criticism in itself. I think a lot of people are tired of ports in general as well.
Re: Vicarious Visions Staff Left "Blindsided" By Reported Merger With Embattled Blizzard
