.... until the first update.
The latest update was about 35Gb, iirc.

Still not sold on the Mouse. There's a reason I don't use a mouse with my laptop when sat on the couch. It's the same reason I do use a mouse when sat at a desk.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but ... you'd have to turn on the switch 2, (maybe turn on your telly, depending on whether your telly does that) then turn on the switch 1, go back to the switch 2 to hit the C button, then settle down on the couch to play the game.
That doesn't "feel" very Nintendo, to me.

Rhythm "whatever" Megamix is one of my absolute favourite collections. Wonderfully presented, and it just keeps on going.
So much content.
So much gameplay.
...
.... This is going to be a letdown, by comparison, isn't it!?

C is for Cookie. That's good enough for me.

Req : Put a music player in the Switch 2, and let it play any music from any game that's installed.
Do that, Ninty.. Do that!!!

Lovely. Smooth.
But I'm watching it on a 60fps display and it looks smooth.
It's not the FPS, it's how smooth it's running behind the scenes.

Advent Calendar?!!? .. Go on.. Ooooh, Advent of Pokemon! Oooooh....

DKGameboy Woohooo!!!

Just imagine if modern remasters were like that, expanding on the original and becoming something more worthwhile, instead of just being "it is the sam, but it can has HD graffix"
All the time and effort these teams put into remaking games. At the very least, add an extra set of levels, or a new map, or extra challenges within the original levels, or something... Anything..
Bowser's Fury is one of the most interesting remakes we've had in recent years. More like that. Come on, Ninty, do cool things again!

It's ok to still be excited about the prospect of it wrapping around a Switch 1/2 to make it into a functional gameboy, right?

Exec : "why are there two Master Chiefs on this level?"
Dev : "That's not Master Chief. That's Doom guy!
Exec : "Oh.."
....
Exec : "Ship it!"

....wait, what..?
Bleem...?!

@N00BiSH Maybe he should relegate himself to being the Lakitu of Sega Racing. If you choose to play as Sonic, it's your job to keep rescuing all the drivers that veer off course.

Is it ok to still be frustrated about the reasons as to why he's stuck in a car?
I know we're on the (..?) 4th modern "Sonic inexplicably stuck in a car" game, but I'm still not over it yet.

Obligatory "Day of the Tentacle" reference.

Sonic remade using BlitzBasic!!! (RIP:Mark Sibly)

"Upload another AGameAWeek game to the SmileBasic server" button.

Sega Exec : No, no, it'll be JUST like Mario Kart. People buy DLCs for that all the time. It's just moving a vehicle from a to b. This is that. It's exactly the same. Put more DLCs in. People will love it just like Mario Kart 8. What could go wrong?

Have the people who've complained ever noticed that Link's looked a "little" bit different through the years?

I bought one of those ROGAlly doohickeys at the end of last year, and I have to say..
... Windows absolutely sucks for this kind of device.
If you're shopping for something, go with SteamDeck.

(* I'm aware it's becoming easier to put SteamOS onto the ROGally. I just need to find time to do that!)

Gotta love 'em, but modern Team17 holds as much a place in my heart as modern Codemasters did before they ultimately got EAd to death.
I shall always have fond memories of them, and the hundreds of thousands of hours of play that their games gave to me, but realistically ... that was decades ago.

.. and they never did bring back Arcade Pool.

Farewell, Team17. It's been a beautiful adventure.

Anyone else grabbed their joycon and tried it yet? It's not very comfortable, or at least for me it isn't.

@Andee A white hole...?

That bit where the music stops and the big 2 shows up on screen.. My head keeps going "Seeeegaaaa!"

Should a PDF be ABLE to run Doom...!?
I mean, I don't want to be Mr Cynical, but these are the sorts of "experiments" that took Flash down.

I'll probably stick with my "don't emulate things you can buy brand new in a shop" rule of thumb, I think. That's typically been the sensible methodology for emulation, right?

I've recently been trying to play things on an ROGAlly and constantly being bashed in the face by frustrating Windows issues, quirks, updates and other annoying things.

Bring on the Switch 2!

Build a big chunky Lego skin and slot the Switch2 into it?....?

@Tober .. until you notice that Wipeout's not on.
If any game "defined a culture", it's Wipeout.

No Manic Miner?! ...

.. or it's a little communication sensor so the Switch knows the JoyCon's connected closely enough, so can safely charge it.
And maybe a bit of data transfer, like what colour it is, etc..

Makes you "wonder" which team came up with the name wonder, first, and just how late in the day the name was tagged onto Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Cool, shiny..
.... The shiny effect is an extra £750, right?

I'd write something like "Feb 23rd's my birthday, Nintendo. That'd be nice", but .. I feel like I wrote that about half a decade ago..

Hey, Sega.. How about, instead of a monthly subscription, we pay upfront. I'd pay £299 for.. say.. a 4 year subscription to some Sega games. .. Maybe it'd come with a box we can plug into the telly, and a controller or two..?
And then start adding new games into the mix. You could even charge extra for those "new" games.. Like maybe £39 for a new game? Gosh, that'd be cool.

God help them once they notice that all the face cards have two heads..

I lost my Switch to my Mother, last year, during the house move. (Her ps4 was packed away, she "borrowed" the Switch, and now I don't have a Switch!!)
Apparently "I've" played 273 hours of Puyo Puyo Tetris, this year, and not much else!!
... All year I've been playing the "should I buy a Switch or wait it out for the Switch 2" game.

There can never be enough of anything, ever.

I remember back in the SNES days when people grumbled about there being way too many Mascot Platformers, and journalists would give anything to kill the genre off, completely.
And then Donkey Kong Country happened.

Never stop doing anything, ever.

I was just discussing the lack of good videogame music, yesterday. More of that, please! .. And maybe pop the music into the NSO app, along with Ninty's? .. I mean, the Genesis games are part of NSO, so why not the music, too?

If nothing else, can we have FZero GX available..!?

Well, it's something, huh....?

@Clyde_Radcliffe
Puyo Puyo Tetris (both of them) has the Ultra mode, too, and has become my new all-time favourite Tetris version. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 even has a multiplayer Ultra mode!
Mmmmm....

The website complains if all I say is just o/yeayo/
So I'll pad it all out, even though it's just o/yeayo/
I love Tetris DX, and this brightens my day.
So I'll play it all morning, and be happy and o/yeayo/

Pokemorph, surely.

BeeSwitched?

OUYA!!!

I did like trying out the Jackbox Party Packs at first, but as a single-player, they're really quite dull.

More YDKJack please!
I REALLY loved when they made it a topical Facebook game, right before starting these Party Packs. That was super-awesome.
Give us that back. I'd happily pay a subscription for that.

@sanderev + Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 and 2, can't forget those. (Incidentally, all of those, and Gameboy Tetris from NSO are all on my Switch right now)

If the "Game", being made up of mostly 8-bit and 16-bit era games, is fairly small... Let's be generous and presume it's about 256Mb.

The file size being over 5Gb is roughly 20 times the size of the game.

On my Switch, right now, the top 18 games are over 1Gb according to the Data Management page. Some as big as 16Gb Golly gosh!!
But I have TONS of games under that threshold. And don't forget those NSO emulator bundles, each with loads of games in each collection. Compare and contrast those filesizes with this.

Now, imagine if all of those took up 20 times the necessary space.
Imagine that...

I'm not annoyed about having 5Gb games, I'm not "worried" about the storage space. I'm grumbling that the game's taking up WAY more space than the actual game itself should be taking up.

@coolioam I'm of the "options win" mindset. I bet the game totals only a couple of hundred Megabytes or thereabouts.
How about a "just the games please" version? But no, everybody gets 5gb of video clogging up their system, and goodness help us all when an update shows up.

Five?!
.. it's got history videos and stuff, hasn't it...? The sort of thing you'll watch once and never again.
Could they not have just streamed those. Could've made a documentary and put it on Netflix. Heck, could've just dumped everything on YouTube so everyone can watch and you get bonus Ad-income.
But no..
Five gigs..
That's just stupid. There's really no good reason for that.
