Re: Video: We Hereby Declare That 2023 Will Be The Year Of 3DS StreetPass

I take my 2ds with me a lot. I love playing Rusty's Real Deal Baseball in the park during summer months. I find the Switch a little too big to take with me. I've actually been looking to buy a 3ds.

I remember getting the max 10 people for streetpass after only five minutes walking around in Osaka or Tokyo. I'd always have to clear them out whenever I stopped. Streetpasses really died down for me in 2019. One day I only got the same guy twice in Osaka.

Re: Soapbox: If You Thought Last Year Was "Sad" For Switch, 2023 Might Be Hard To Handle

I think the Switch had a good year. I liked Arceus. I still have to play Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The Mario Kart DLC is a lot of fun. I was disappointed with Pokemon: Scarlet/Violet and did not purchase them. I also did not like ACNH being abandoned. No 2023 arch is unforgivable. I didn't purchase Splatoon 3 despite 2 being my most played game on Switch.

I got an Xbox Series X the summer of 2022 and Game Pass is great. I also enjoyed my 3ds and DS lite a lot. There is so much in gaming right now you can't play it all. Just have fun with what you can.

Happy new year.

Re: Talking Point: Should We Still Be Pre-Ordering Games?

I understand how hard it is today to control impulse buying. I think I regret those more than preorders. A game will go on sale whether I see it on Deku Deals or a SwitchUp video and I get that FOMO. A lot of these I don't end up finishing.

Last year I set a limit that I could only buy four games the entire year. It worked out well. So far this year I've already bought two. I need to save the last two for Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.

This system has me clearing out my backlog a lot more and replaying games I actually enjoy. I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position.

Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?

Got my Switch in 2018. First joycons started drifting, but I blame that how hard I was on em while playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Second pair I got are still fine. No issues with anything else. It does chug a little when I get to areas on my island in ACNH that have a lot of stuff. I think that is more hardware limitations though.
