No question the DS Lite was the best. The only knock is that it was clearly "inspired" by Apple's contemporary white designs. I had both the phat and the Lite and the Lite was just so much nicer.
I wish Nintendo didn't release sequels to this and just kept Splatoon going with updates over time. I might be wrong, but is Splatoon 3 compatible with Splatoon 2, or will that game just die when 3 comes out? If it just replaces Splatoon 2, I feel they could've done better by releasing updates to 2 to keep the user base strong.
The (secondary) headline indicates "Stock value rises in wake of report", but according to Google their stock price has actually dropped 7% this week. The article also doesn't indicate anything about stock price, leaving this concept hanging out there in the secondary headline only.
Gamestop's stock price overall isn't a reflection of value and stands as a market outlier at present. A year ago Gamestop's stock price shot up 1600% after online users collaborated to do a short squeeze on it, I think led by wallstreetbets on Reddit. The stock price has remained artificially high and doesn't meaningfully align with Gamestop's financial metrics. There's merit in the concept that "something is worth what people are willing to pay for it," but from a value perspective Gamestop is overpriced and movements in its stock price can't be reliably connected to actions the company makes.
@Bailey5000 there's definitely a problem with the numbers. The 2.8m number on Wikipedia seems strange, as it indicates 2.3m lifetime in Japan (citing an article that claims to reference Famitsu numbers), and 500,000 in Europe, no other sales worldwide being indicated. That European number looks wrong on its face as the article it's cited from just says it's sold more than 500,000 in Europe. Other articles (I saw one in October, 2021) do indicate lifetime worldwide Minecraft Switch sales around that 2.5m number, so where the problem is seems unclear. My guess is that Famitsu has incorrectly given Minecraft's total worldwide sales as its Japanese sales, but it's hard to say where the problem is.

Megaman 2 is the best of the Megaman games, though 3 is a close second.

Re: Dead Cells Receives New Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
This is a phenomenal game that's absolutely worth playing. One of the best games of all time in my opinion.

Re: Step Aside, Switch Pro - The Orion Upswitch Wants To Turn Your Switch Into A Handheld TV
I actually would buy one of these. I assume this isn't a touchscreen, so I could see that as a limitation on some users.
