Still going strong with my launch day Switch. Hopefully it will last until the Switch U, New Switch, Super Switch, Switch 2 or Switch Pro or whatever they do comes next.

I know which I would rather play games on.
I'd like to know what percentage of the profit is from microtransactions.

Why do rebrands mean make less colourful?

@Merry_Blind I think it depends on if you play in the dark. Even mild white light is harsh when you play in the dark. During the day it makes little difference.

Always dark mode. I even have black background and white font on my kindle. It's a lot easier on the eyes. I don't like to have burn in on my retina.

If we are comparing batteries, my car has a better battery than the Switch and it was "released" 4 years before the Switch and it can slowly "teleport" me to different locations! It's probably worth about the same as the phone too. Which is the better deal?

I wasn't aware it had its own Game Boy Player. Had to do some internet research as I thought it would look amazing but it appears it didn't match the system itself being just dull plastic. Excitement to disappointment in 15 seconds.

Read headline as person publishes something off their wishlist as a rumour on the internet.

Sam Kieth. Autocorrect does not like his surname.

It was clearly caused by a time travelling COVID vaccine. If it can change your DNA they can do anything.

If they released a double pack of the NES Remix games on the Switch they'd make enough money off mugs buying it again plus the rest of the large user base so we can get a SNES Remix. I can but dream.

The price cut will disappoint people wanting to get rid of their original to upgrade to OLED. They'll get even less on a part exchange or selling it.

@CharlieGirl Shady person works at shady company. It's a tale as old as capitalism.

In Scott Pilgrim she doesn't upgrade his bomb bag but does she upgrade his Bob-omb bag?
I'll get my coat.

I collect to add to my backlog! I intend to play every game I purchase. The large number of sealed games I have tells me that I haven't played the majority of them though. Maybe one day I will come to my senses and sell them so someone can do what I couldn't with them.

Maybe the PC version came on 1000 floppy discs so each disc in the box is classed as a copy so only actually sold 24500 on PC and 500,000 elsewhere?

I still haven't finished my run of the first game I started in 2014. Got Bravely Second and this one so hopefully finish before I am on my deathbed.

@RupeeClock That makes sense then. You'll probably start your run through of the games before me anyway. Going through some of my older backlog at the minute.

@RupeeClock I have the LRG games. Had them for about a month. Assume you are waiting on the Collector's Edition ones? I need to play through them first before getting the new one.

@ManInTheChair Maybe they chose a popular work that they knew was going to be shut down in an attempt to get noticed to help get a job in the games industry.

Lucky that the Wii Nunchuck didn't follow his NES/SNES design aesthetic. I don't think a cube with a control stick on it would have worked.

@Chandlero if the game inside was alright and I wanted to play it I would be tempted but not for much more than a tenner!

@Ogbert Fair enough. Each to their own. I do like the designs but I'd rather buy a new game instead as I don't spend much time looking at my consoles. Do these skins not make the console a bit more slippery to hold though or are they textured to prevent that?

Seems like a lot of effort is involved in putting skins on your Switch for no real benefit other than to show off how much patience you have sticking them on.

"Dad, they're selling a new Space Invaders collection on Switch."
"How much do they want for it, Steve?"
"$60!"
"Tell 'em they're dreamin'."

@Teksetter About 6 months to finish the first one then. Seems doable.

@Teksetter @BenAV Almost the same. Played the original for about an hour as soon as I got it and then got distracted. Here we are years later still distracted. Maybe by the time I finish the first the physical of the sequel will be out.

@ralphdibny It's a crime against one of the greatest games of all time certainly. But it's OK as I can just download the ROM and play that rather than on my GameCube, 3DS or Wii U copies of it. (For the easily offended, this is a joke as I will play it on my 3DS as I started a run through the games on that earlier this year.)

@adamman12345 I think you can do what you want with your own copy of a game in your own home. I'm going to turn my copy into kneepads and fashion my N64 into a hat.

I'd be tempted by a Switch Lite SP. Keep that screen protected without the need for messing about with a case.

I downloaded it early on and played about 2 games and I am done with it. How many of those 4 million played it as much as me?
I got about 10 games of Super Mario 35 and a couple of Tetris 99 games on my sister's Switch so I have form.

I will hopefully plug my Wii U back in and play this again at Halloween. Never finished it at the time.

@BrintaPap I have it on my Vita already so would prefer a big screen experience too given a choice.

@BrintaPap If you asked the entire population of the world which game they would prefer on current consoles Persona 4 Golden or Persona 4 Arena Ultimax the most popular answer would be, "what are you talking about?" but what do you think would be second? Guess it is cheaper to remaster Arena.

The robot uprising is upon us or are we OK until it can beat Dark Souls with the Donkey Konga bongos?

I've avoided spoilers for the original for many years. I should be able to manage this. I own the original on DS and the Switch version but they just sit in my ever increasing backlog. Unless you actively look for spoilers or follow people on social media who get off on spoiling things for folks you should be good.

Got my amiibo yesterday and as I was putting a load of stuff in storage it went straight in storage with the rest of my Zelda amiibo. Under 12 hours from receipt to storage. I'll unbox in a few years. Maybe.

Got the amiibo and Joy-Cons and will get the game at a later date. Got to get the limited stuff first. I can always fish out my Wii U for the time being if needed.

I want to see a video games price crash and see these over inflated prices hit the $100s at best. The people who have money like that can afford to lose it. Maybe then a bit of common sense will start to prevail.

I think COVID scuppered a slightly beefier Switch. They'll see this OLED versionsells like crazy so they'll just wait until the release of the Switch U now. I assume that's what they'll call the sequel anyway.

@TanukiTrooper They give with one hand and take away with the other.

@TanukiTrooper The refresh has one less USB slot though so it evens out.

They should have just called it the Switch Max or Switch+ or Switcheroo rather than the snappy title they have given us.
I'll wait as I mainly play docked which is why I found out my screen starting to come away about 3 years ago when I took it out of the dock.

Child fleeces adults who should know better out of boatloads of cash.

Interesting that Scarlet Nexus sold about twice as much on PS4 compared to PS5 but in the UK the PS4 was about 1/3 of the PS5 sales.

@Marioman2020 Super Mario Kart Ultimate! To steal part of another franchises title.

None of the options fit. I bought mine early 1999 with Mario 64 and Mischief Makers for £60. One of the best £60 spent ever. The other being the SNES with Starwing some time in 1994.

Has Christmas been moved this year? November 12th is 43 days before Xmas. This will probably be removed from sale on 13th November though so the warning is justified I guess. Seriously though, we have no expiry date on this yet so assume it is just a limited run and when it is gone it is gone.

@Heavyarms55 Good job you weren't screaming like a madman and bouncing up and down like a schoolgirl.

2nd column or 2nd row are the most likely for the win.
