@charlieonholiday surprisingly really good, graphics kinda like early XONE/PS4 graphics but better than the 360/PS3 era. The usual AC glitches come up, but nothing too bad. The AC2 faces are... unusual... but you'll get used to them (Brotherhood is much better).
The triggers have been the best buttons since the 360/PS3 generation, thanks to driving and shooting games. Plus, the range of travel of said triggers makes it feel like a real gun/pedal.
I'm thinking $150 for the Lite, the OLED model eventually dropping to $299, and the original Switch priced to clear to $250 so the OLED model becomes to "base" Switch, maybe sometime June 2022.
Thanks to a weird online order mix-up, I'm getting the Amiibo well before the game itself. Maybe I can ooh and aah over the sculpting before I have a game to use it on?
Got the Super Mario Party bundle with the green/yellow JoyCons when it was released. Turned out to be a good decision, as I haven't seen this color combination on sale anywhere else.
It looks like it's the same price as a base Switch, so this would be great for those not willing to shell out for a game just yet. Think of it as kids or more casual gamers dipping their toes into the Switch ecosystem.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
MKW and the Yakuza 0 Remaster should tide me over until the new From Software game (and DK!) releases next year.
Re: Soapbox: In 2023, Mario Got Weird Again
@StephenYap3 would that make Bowser DIO? I mean his Stand was his [redacted]...
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold Over 132 Million Units
Super Mario Wonder would probably be responsible for another 1-2 million Switch sales, at the minimum.
Re: New Switch OLED Bundle Reportedly Launching Next Month
Looks like they'll finally update the Holiday MK8D bundle!
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Absolutely Smashes Its Debut
You know Wonder is a system seller when 52,000 new Switches get sold on the same week. One week!
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's DLC Catches An International Physical Release This November
Sounds like a decent deal for those of us without Scarlet/Violet yet. At least, I hope this isn't just the price of the main games + DLC.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold Over 129 Million Units
Considering it's about twice the retail price, it would be incredible for the Switch to dethrone the DS.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 11th)
Still on Persona 5 Royal (final few Palaces), but splitting time between it and Fire Emblem Engage.
Re: Yes, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Costs $70, Collector's Edition Announced
This makes the choice for the Game Vouchers even stronger.
Or just get the Collector's Edition if you're gonna splurge anyway.
Re: Game Boy And GBA Coming To Switch Online Today
Link's Awakening DX and Minish Cap by themselves will keep me occupied until TOTK releases in three months.
Re: A New Bayonetta 3 Report Features A Differing Account Of PlatinumGames’ VA Pay Offer
@Kisame83 sounds like she didn't get what we wanted (a massive paycheck), so she decided to burn the bridge and nuke the surrounding countryside.
Re: A New Bayonetta 3 Report Features A Differing Account Of PlatinumGames VA Pay Offer
If all of this is true, how long before:
a) She doubles down on her claims, further stirring the pot
or
b) She deletes all her videos and social media?
Re: Persona 5 Royal Switch eShop File Size Seemingly Revealed
Once I'm done with XC3, I'll be happy to pour another 100 hours into this.
Re: It's Official, Tactics Ogre: Reborn Is Coming To Switch
Would anyone recommend this to players of Triangle Strategy?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 4th)
AC Brotherhood, part of the Ezio Collection on Switch. It really is the logical next part of AC2, I just wish the story was just as strong.
Re: Back Page: Which Is The Best Controller Button, And What Does Your Pick Say About You?
The triggers have been the best buttons since the 360/PS3 generation, thanks to driving and shooting games. Plus, the range of travel of said triggers makes it feel like a real gun/pedal.
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
Like AngryJoe famously said... "4 HOURS?!?". That's a short game, especially at full price.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 2nd)
No More Heroes III for me!
Re: Switch's N64 Controller Is Hiding Some Extra Buttons
Man, it would be cool if you could still plug in a Rumble Pak, Transfer Pak, or Controller Pak, even if they did nothing!
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 13.0.0 Is Live, Adds Bluetooth Audio
Now I don't have to lug around a separate wired headphone set just for the Switch; I can use my phone's Bluetooth earbuds!
Re: Platinum's Switch Exclusive Astral Chain Celebrates Its Second Anniversary
Glad this hidden gem still managed to sell a million copies. Astral Chain 2, anyone?
Re: Kazuma Kiryu Will Actually Be In Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania
C'mon, Goro Majima and Ichiban Kasuga next!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Business Remains Strong, But Is The Bloom Off Switch Lite?
I'm thinking $150 for the Lite, the OLED model eventually dropping to $299, and the original Switch priced to clear to $250 so the OLED model becomes to "base" Switch, maybe sometime June 2022.
Re: Video: Unboxing The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Joy-Con Controllers, amiibo And Game
Thanks to a weird online order mix-up, I'm getting the Amiibo well before the game itself. Maybe I can ooh and aah over the sculpting before I have a game to use it on?
Re: "It's Like A Contra Game On Acid": Weapon Of Choice DX Runs 'N' Guns Onto Switch This Fall
Disappointed by the lack of dancing Christopher Walken.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Be Purchased Separately
Hope they sell the Switch itself separately - no Joy-Cons, dock, AC adapter, or HDMI cable.
Re: Nintendo Switch OLED Screen: Why Is OLED Better Than LCD?
I'd rather they sell the main unit as a separate SKU - don't need the dock or more Joy-Cons.
Re: This Is What Kirby's New Tekken Form Looks Like In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Weird that the first thing I noticed are the eyebrows.
Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
Worth it just for Link's Awakening! LoZ 1 and 2 are nice bonuses for me.
Re: Nintendo E3 2021 Direct To Air 15th June
Zelda games in the eShop...please?
Re: Video: Do Faster Micro SD Cards Actually Improve Load Times On Switch?
TL, DR: Don't buy ultra-expensive UHS-II cards, or ultra-cheap shady ones.
Also, has anyone had experience with the different brands? SanDisk hasn't been too reliable for me, while my current 256GB Lexar is doing just fine.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think The "Switch Pro" Will Actually Be Called?
Switch HD Turbo Remix Plus Alpha, Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry
Re: Nintendo Wins $2.1 Million In Lawsuit Against ROM Website
If the site just offered the ROMS for free and for "archival purposes", they'd have gotten away with the moral victory.
Alas, they juuust had to charge for it. And for "premium" accounts, to boot!
Re: Reminder: Five NES And SNES Games Hit Switch Today, Plus A Special Version Of Super Mario Kart
Besides EarthBound and Square Enix games, any other noteworthy SNES games not part of the service yet?
Re: Super Bomberman R Online Makes The Leap From Stadia To Switch Next Week
@KoopaTheGamer if Konami was smart, they'd offer the original R as a discounted upgrade from this.
Re: Nintendo Switch Is Now The Sixth Best-Selling Video Game System In Japan
I miss my PS2 Slim, sold it to buy a eventually-RRODed 360.
Re: Nintendo Partners With Superstar K-Pop Group TWICE In New Switch Promotion
Kind of like when AKB48 promoted Smash 3DS/WiiU.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer: 'I Could Have Never Designed The Wii... It Was Just Amazing To See'
@Heavyarms55 I agree, as a Xbox and Switch owner.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th March (North America)
Apex Legends, just to see if it'll run at all.
Re: Nintendo "Doesn't Have Anything To Share" About Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Right Now
They can take their time polishing it. Don't be like CD Projekt Red!
Re: Random: Someone At Nintendo Keeps Writing The Word "Embiggen" In Scripts
This is a perfectly cromulent post, not sure why people are up in arms about it.
Re: 20 Nintendo Switch Titles Sold Over A Million Copies Between April And September
Xenoblade Chronicles: DE did very well, even given that it's not even a new game!
Hope Monolithsoft gives us that XCX remaster soon (or even XC3!).
Re: Cyberpunk Parkour Game Ghostrunner Gets Pushed Into November On Switch
Surprised this doesn't have exclusive pre-order katanas like the others. Had to decide between Epic, Steam, and GOG for that(got GOG, btw).
Re: Random: Dataminer Uncovers List Of Words That Might Get You Banned In The New Kingdom Hearts Game
I'm pretty sure the 'N' word is there.
Of course, that being Nincompoop.
Re: It's Been Three Years Since We First Embarked On A Super Mario Odyssey
First Mario game I've loved since World, and worth every moment!
Re: Nintendo Is Releasing Three Switch Bundles In Japan Next Month
Got the Super Mario Party bundle with the green/yellow JoyCons when it was released. Turned out to be a good decision, as I haven't seen this color combination on sale anywhere else.
Re: Where To Pre-Order The Gorgeous Limited Edition Fortnite Nintendo Switch Bundle
It looks like it's the same price as a base Switch, so this would be great for those not willing to shell out for a game just yet. Think of it as kids or more casual gamers dipping their toes into the Switch ecosystem.
Re: GameStop Switch Allocation Has Reportedly Improved
Reggie: Execute Order Switchy-Switch.
Gamestop Execs: At once, my lord.
