Mmmm you kinda do if you want to download something that’s 20GB+ when the Switch 2 has trouble sticking to a 5ghz connection. Unless Nintendo wants to put an Ethernet port on the Switch you do need to hook it up to the dock. 😅

Just downloaded a game that said it would take over 3 hours via WiFi, downloaded in 19 minutes docked. Couple that with the fact that Nintendo’s own dock is very well known, and documented, to scratch the screen and well….

As much as I hate to say it, if they really just do a ‘Switch 3’ I’ll have to skip a generation again like I did with the Wii U, and buy it way after the fact when it’s dirt chip.

The Switch 2 is teaching me very quickly the whole docking/undocking has lost its novelty on me and my brain just thinks of it as a nuisance, deterring me from playing.

Really hard to recommend RE: HD or Zero to newcomers of the series. I love and enjoy both but they’re not exactly new-player friendly.

Any of the games made since 2017 are decent starting points, although 7 & 8 really live in their own universe’s narratively.

4 is a good starting point as well, nothing beats the Wii version though 🤌

10 years ago for Pokémon day I decided to go to Pokémon’s HQ in Bellevue, WA. You can’t get up to their floors without a keycard so I had to do a slight Jedi mind-trick to get someone else to let me up. Got up to the main lobby, and there was a statue of pikachu, bulbasaur, charmander, and squirtle surrounded by completely empty, dark offices. I slightly panicked for a second, because I got scared I might not be able to get out of there considering I had no keycard. Luckily, as I turned around to face the elevator, I saw a lone secretary sitting in the back corner by herself. I asked her if anyone was around that might be able to show me something but she said no everyone gets the day off as a vacation day. Made sense to me. Anyways I asked her if there was anything I could do since I made my way up there and she recommended I take a picture of the statue in the lobby. So I did. Then she called the elevator back for me.
