I've been planning to get a Switch Lite because I never use TV mode on my Switch, but I've been waiting for a price cut. If there isn't one by New Years, then I'll just buy it anyway.
@rex_rex I do like Odyssey for its exploration and the fact that it just feels like an HD version of 64 but if there were 60 stars stuffed into each level.
@Chamver Unfortunately, with a lot of people, if they don't get news then they get very upset. It has gotten better after the Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco, but a lot of people will be very upset if they don't get any news, and will get upset at any delays, even if the delay is for the good of both the game and the developers.
@johnvboy I could not agree more. I feel that with blogs like this, it kind of forms an echo-chamber, with hardcore gamers thinking that their opinions are the majority, and that Nintendo should cater to them, when in reality, they are a small minority. However, I do still want Nintendo to add folders and themes. Folders are really useful if you have a lot of games, and themes are just a fun thing to have to customize your Switch.
@reporterdavid I hope so too, because with all of this, I've just been thinking "Man, we really haven't learned anything from the whole 'Switch Pro' fiasco". I hope I'm proven wrong and people aren't just getting hyped over nothing again.
This looks way too busy and cluttered. The current design, while a bit bland, works perfectly fine and I like it. I think that it would be a great UI if they just added folders.
I disagree with the notion that Nintendo is any less quirky and unique. I mean, a handheld that's also a home console? That's incredibly unique. Plus, their unique IPs and exclusives make them plenty "weird". So, no, Nintendo doesn't need a dedicated handheld division to be "weird" and "unique".
I'm glad that Miitopia is doing so well. It's still hard to believe that a silly Mii-based RPG released during the 3DS's death throes got a full Switch port.
@Heavyarms55 Still, I think that it's unfair to say that it's completely Sony and Microsoft's faults that the next-gen consoles are impossible to find.

That American SNES one, ooh la la!
Re: Retailer Appears To Have Uncovered New And Sealed '90s SNES Games, And They're Up For Sale
TheRelaxingEnd is frothing at the mouth hearing this.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo GameCube
@IronMan30 Yup. I see people worshipping the GameCube who were the same people that p*ssed all over it when it was out.
Re: Rumour: Huge Nvidia Database Leak Lists Unannounced Third-Party Games
@Zyph That's if we're lucky. GTA6 will come out before Kingdom Hearts 4.
Re: Rumour: Huge Nvidia Database Leak Lists Unannounced Third-Party Games
All I can do is laugh at that list. Like, do you really think that Kingdom Hearts 4 will come out in the next couple years?
Re: Talking Point: Switch Vs. PS5 And Xbox - Nintendo Preps For The Holidays With A New SKU And European Price Cut
@Ulysses At least in North America, the Animal Crossing Switch has been in stock pretty consistently.

Re: Talking Point: Switch Vs. PS5 And Xbox - Nintendo Preps For The Holidays With A New SKU And European Price Cut
@duffmmann I would actually buy that.
Re: Nintendo Switch Base Model Price Officially Reduced To £259/€269 Across Europe
Welp, guess I was wrong. I might actually pick up a second Switch now.
Re: Rumour: Switch Will Reportedly Receive A Price Cut Ahead Of The OLED Model's Launch
@kupocake Yeah, this site is terrible at predicting things.
Re: Rumour: Switch Will Reportedly Receive A Price Cut Ahead Of The OLED Model's Launch
@Scrubicius Maybe, but I doubt it. I could be wrong though. We'll just have to wait and see.
Re: Rumour: Switch Will Reportedly Receive A Price Cut Ahead Of The OLED Model's Launch
@Scrubicius Yeah, but this is the Switch. It'll sell well.
Re: Rumour: Switch Will Reportedly Receive A Price Cut Ahead Of The OLED Model's Launch
Yeah, sure. I would love for Nintendo to give the Switch a price cut, but they're Nintendo. They won't, and they have no reason to, so why would they?
Re: Japanese Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Regains Control In A Familiar Top Ten
@rex_rex I do like Odyssey for its exploration and the fact that it just feels like an HD version of 64 but if there were 60 stars stuffed into each level.
Re: Japanese Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Regains Control In A Familiar Top Ten
@Toads-Friend I'm hoping to get 3D World + Bowser's Fury sometime soon. I watched playthroughs of it and it looks like a really fun game.
Re: Japanese Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Regains Control In A Familiar Top Ten
I forgot about Ring Fit Adventure. Good to see that it's still doing well.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?
@huyi Do what?
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?
@SeaFishelle There was an option on the poll for non-Nintendo consoles.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?
@Zeldafan79 Yeah, you've just reminded me to clean my Switch's fan out.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?
@Zeldafan79 Yikes.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?
I chose other because as good as the GameCube's startup is, it just can't compete with the daaah-da-da-da, Duhduhduh of the PSP.
Re: Review: WarioWare: Get It Together! - More Magnificent Microgame Mayhem
I can't wait to get this game. I played the Warioware Gold demo on 3DS, and I'm hooked on the franchise now. This game looks like a ton of fun.
Re: Nintendo Changed The Culture At Retro Studios Following Metroid Prime Crunch
@Chamver Unfortunately, with a lot of people, if they don't get news then they get very upset.

Re: Feature: Game Boy Games We Probably Won’t See On Nintendo Switch Online
@Crono1973 I know, right? It's like people just forgot about the last time we all got incredibly hyped up about baseless rumours.

@reporterdavid I hope so too, because with all of this, I've just been thinking "Man, we really haven't learned anything from the whole 'Switch Pro' fiasco". I hope I'm proven wrong and people aren't just getting hyped over nothing again.
Re: Random: This Nintendo Switch UI Redesign Makes The Home Menu And eShop Look Like Apple's iOS
@Specter_of-the_OLED How would it know which game to auto-jump to though?

Re: UK Charts: Minecraft Blocks Mario Kart 8 Deluxe To Take Top Spot
@rockodoodle I think that might be the case, too. Mario Kart is incredibly fun and easy to jump into, so purchasing it would be a no-brainer.
Re: UK Charts: Minecraft Blocks Mario Kart 8 Deluxe To Take Top Spot
@Anti-Matter I agree. People say that "casual" gamers are missing out on a lot of great games, but maybe they just aren't interested in the games.
Re: Mario Party Superstars Will Have You Partying Like It's 1999
I'm quite excited for this game. I always wanted to experience Mario Party 1, 2, and 3, and now I don't even have to buy an N64!
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.3 Is Now Live
Well, I mean, most updates outside of major ones are just bug fixes, so I wouldn't be surprised.
Re: Soapbox: Without A Dedicated Handheld Division, Is Nintendo Less Weird?

Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
@NEStalgia I still doubt that that's what Nintendo is going to do. They might, but I wouldn't count on it.
Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
@Kamalen I know. At this point I want Nintendo to release a Switch hardware revision just so people can shut up about it.
Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
Wow, Nintendo's so sick of their fanbase that they literally have to specify that they aren't going to talk about a Switch revision in their E3.
Re: Random: Can You Spot Your Favourite Pokémon In This Huge Art Piece?
@peppermillian Why thank you!
Re: The Pokémon Company Recorded Its Highest Profits Ever In 2020
Well, Sword and Shield are the best-selling Pokemon games since Gold and Silver, so I'm not surprised.
Re: Random: Can You Spot Your Favourite Pokémon In This Huge Art Piece?
I tried looking for Mewstic for about 5 minutes and then just gave up. Oh well, at least I found Grookey.
Re: There's A Surprise New LEGO Game Coming To Switch Next Month
@Angelic_Lapras_King Nah, more like four times that price. And there are sets that take hours to build that cost more than a PS5.
Re: Feature: Best Game Boy Color (GBC) Games
How did Pokemon Gold and Silver rank about both Pokemon Crystal AND both Zelda Oracle games?!
Re: Rumour: Switch Pro To Offer 'Surface-Style' Tabletop Flap, USB 3.0 And Ethernet Connectivity
Another day, another baseless Switch Pro rumor!
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Release Date Worries Me, But Hopefully I'm Wrong
@roz061 No, they said "Early 2022".
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Release Date Worries Me, But Hopefully I'm Wrong
I mean, Game Freak said that it would be released in early 2022. It's not like there's much of a difference between January and March.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Game Boy Color... Colour?
Dandelion gang rise up!
Re: UK Charts: Miitopia Gets Off To A Cracking Start With A Second-Place Debut
@COVIDberry Makes sense.
Re: UK Charts: Miitopia Gets Off To A Cracking Start With A Second-Place Debut
I'm glad that Miitopia is doing so well. It's still hard to believe that a silly Mii-based RPG released during the 3DS's death throes got a full Switch port.
Re: Roblox Dev Open To A Switch Release
I've been playing since 2014, so I would love to have Roblox on the Switch.
Re: Review: Miitopia - A Daft DIY Adventure With Boundless Appeal, If You Make The Effort
I'll definitely be picking this up. The Mii Maker alone is worth the price. Too bad the Switch Mii Maker isn't this in-depth.
Re: Switch Hardware Sales Beat Xbox Series X|S And PS5 Combined, Unsurprisingly
@Heavyarms55 Still, I think that it's unfair to say that it's completely Sony and Microsoft's faults that the next-gen consoles are impossible to find.
