At this point, the game seems quite F2P-friendly and I haven't felt the need to spend any money on it. Releasing a trading card game without the ability to trade was kind of silly though.

I love Tetris but I already have so many ways to play it and I've seen enough making of Tetris documentaries to quench my thirst in that area. I'll wait for a sale on this one. I'm more interested in the release of NES Tetris on NSO this winter.

I've had the launch Switch, launch Switch Lite, Switch OLED, and now the Hyrule Edition Switch Lite. I've tried many joycon replacements, grips, etc. but the wobbly feeling of the Switch's rail system and added weight compared to the Switch Lite's unibody design and lighter weight (and d-pad!) make the Lite my preferred system for handheld play. To me, a dockable Switch Lite with an OLED screen would be my ideal Switch.

Glad the developers are still supporting the game but I don't really have any desire to purchase DLC that only adds more characters but not more content (levels, modes, etc)

I recently finished Sea of Stars so I'm ready for an 8-bit adventure. The trailer looks great! Will definitely pick this one up.

One of the big reasons for the Switch's success was its launch price: $299. It made it more reasonable for people to have multiple Switches in their household (even more so with Switch Lites at $199). At $499, I think it's a 1 per household console like the PS5/Xbox Series X. I think the price will be $399. It's the same price as the 256GB Steam Deck LCD model, which is probably about the performance the Switch 2 will have. Even at that price, I don't think it will sell even half the units the Switch sold.

I gave it a 5. It feels very low-effort on Nintendo's part. Honestly, this would have been perfect as a free game on NSO like Tetris 99. The fact that Japan got a set of working wireless Famicom controllers in their deluxe edition and we got a fake gold cartridge/stand is just salt in the wound.

I had a launch Switch and Switch Lite, and now have an OLED Switch (I gave my sons the launch and Lite when I got the OLED) and I honestly miss the Switch Lite's form factor a lot. The lighter weight and sturdier unibody design just feel so much better for handheld play. I really wish Nintendo had kept the internal hardware to output a video signal via USB-C in the Lite. They could've sold a dock accessory separately to keep the Lite's cost down while giving Lite owners the option to spend more money if they wanted to play on their TVs. If I ever find a good deal on a Lite, I'm going to pick one up again.

I will definitely give these a shot. I already own the Hori Split Pad Pro, Fixture S2, Binbox Slim, and Skull & Co NeoGrip but I'm always looking for something better as these all have tradeoffs:

Hori Split Pad Pro - Good: full-size analog sticks and face buttons; Bad: No HD rumble, NFC, gyro, and wireless, makes the Switch extremely wide

Fixture S2 - Good: uses a Pro controller; Bad: it adds a lot of weight when in handheld mode

Binbok Slim - Good: comfortable grip with rumble, wireless, gyro, and d-pad; Bad: no NFC and HD rumble, analog sticks are taller but have smaller tops, hit or miss quality control, mediocre d-pad

Skull & Co NeoGrip - Good: 3 sets of grips to fit your needs; Bad: still uses joy-cons (small analog sticks and face buttons, joy-con drift, no d-pad)

This is a nice change but the change that needs to be done is that if you cancel your subscription before it ends, you should get a refund of the days you didn't use.

I actually like the Switch Lite's form factor over the regular Switch. It's smaller and lighter but feels more solid. Having a real d-pad is great too. The only things I would change would be to make the screen bigger (via smaller bezels, not increasing the size of the Switch Lite) and add the ability to connect it to a TV with a USB-C to HDMI cable (sold separately for only those that want it).
