@jarvismp I played docked with no problem. Granted, I also play N64 games on original hardware at their original 240i resolution, so it's hard to get at me.
@TruthisRare I really wouldn't hold out for GameCube regardless. At the absolute best, we're getting N64. There's no way they'd put out a GameCube Online app, not with the money that's in it for them in selling individual remasters.
I don't get why people are so bent out of shape over the HD Rumble. You /really/ miss that weak, anemic little Wii Remote vibration? I mean, yeah, for $100 it had better be there, but /really/?
I still find it hard to justify Skyrim at that price. It's also too bad Eternal never got a physical release, I ended up buying it on PS4 because of that.
I love stuff like this. Lowkey hoping a development build of GoldenEye is floating around out there somewhere with a playable Sean Connery still wedged in the multiplayer.
@Retro_Player_77 Maybe not wannabe, but it did take the idea of "home console you can take on the go" and run with it, marketing and all. It's not a huge deal, Sega's influenced all three console manufacturers in some way down the line.
@ummyeahnintendo Oh, get over it. If anything, the author of the article is probably going to steer clear of dropping it in a future article to spare the comment section of this kind of headache, not to avoid offending you personally.
@Aneira I feel like TES 6 is going to continue Bethesda's trend of making RPGs as wide as an ocean with the depth of a puddle. Ever since Morrowind, they've been watering down their games in hopes of winning over the same audience that TES: Blades caters to. Only TES: Blades is more obvious about it.
Regardless of whether or not you would personally use the app, arguing against more usability for this $300 device seems more than a little silly to to me. For example, I have a phone and a dozen other devices that have YouTube, but that hasn't stopped me from clocking 300 hours on the Switch's YouTube app, thanks to it starting up faster than my PS3/4, and having a snappier interface than my smart TV.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.1.0 Is Now Live
@sanderev I would take a system as sluggish as the Wii U if it just meant this $300 console had the features of a $300 console.
Re: Another Cloud Game Is On Its Way To Nintendo Switch This July
@PALversusNTSC Hopefully not, because I like to own the things I buy.

@TheWingedAvenger Nintendo, don't listen to this guy. Give us GBA games.

@DK-Fan You played on the 1.1 control scheme, didn't you?
Rookie mistake.

Re: Nintendo Cancels Splatoon 2 NA Open Livestream, "Free Melee" Believed To Have Played A Part
As someone who hates the Smash community as well as Nintendo's scummier practices, this is all quite a joy to watch.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 11.0.0 Is Now Live
@BenAV In what world are folders pointless? It's literally organization features to keep the library less cluttered and more usable.

Re: Feature: Every Nintendo Switch Online NES Game Ranked
I'd put Kirby higher up on the list, above Zelda, simply because it doesn't make me want to cease existing when I go back to it in the modern age.

Re: Mini Review: Spirit of the North - Minimalistic Mystery Mired By Myriad Mistakes
Jeez. Even pre-patch Witcher 3 on Switch was easier to look at.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold 55.77 Million Units Worldwide
@dewokkel Switch is a hybrid marketed by Nintendo as a home console first. The Lite is the dedicated handheld.
