I always like to wait a year before buying new hardware, theres more for me to play that way, and they can iron out some of the issues (Like the battery life issue on switch 1, and the cracking)
@Paulo i hope it does well tbh. Cause the switch is really good for how I play games right now. I do most gaming on lunch breaks at work. I have a family now so the TV is usually taken, so this portable home console thing rocks
Maybe just don't buy everything that comes out? Little sad that people just have games in shrink wrap, cause the compulsion to BUY BUY BUY was that strong
I'm kind of ok with this tbh. I still have TS2, but also, I'm never going to have my friends around to play deathmatch all the time again, or laugh at the monkey, or all the things I remember enjoying. It has some AMAZING memories for me, and the new one was never going to recapture that
I don't really get to do much on Sunday mornings, I'm either going to church or my daughter already has the TV. Although I'm starting to be able to get a quick game of Age of Empires 2 in while shes distracted!
I'm so glad SMB3 is on there, I have the cart, but it always freezes on the last level, idk what happened to it. Its been doing that since I got it christmas 2003!
I'm super glad that yoshi is the easy mode, and east to control. My daughter LOVES yoshi, but she's also 4, so him being easy mode really works for her
