I have a launch switch - never dropped it. A piece of plastic broke off, exactly the same as dozens of other pictures I've seen.
Seems to be an issue with manufacturing. Not a big one, but definitely not just a coincidence that everyone has a cracked switch in the exact same spots.
I don't believe video games are a direct cause of violence.
However I strongly believe that all the media we absorb affects us both in positive and negative ways. We become who we are through interactions with the world around us. To say that games and movies don't influence us at all is ridiculous.
Like the video showing the good of games, there is also toxicity. And that goes for every single medium of entertainment out there.
We should stop pretending we are somehow impervious to corruption by the things we take in. If you eat junk food all day and have an imbalanced diet, your body will be unhealthy. If you absorb too much negative and violent imagery and music, it can cause an imbalance your mind.
I'm not saying bad content makes us violent. But it does affect us in all sorts of ways, and we should be aware of that.
I missed out on this with PS4, so I am so stoked to finally get it on the Switch! I want to keep watching gameplay but I don't want to spoil it for myself!
Love the pricing model, but not being able to play my phone game while I'm not connected to the internet is a deal-breaker for me. I only play mobile games while I'm going place to place. iPhone in airplane mode? sorry - can't play. Makes me feel like I don't even own the game - just renting it from nintendo.
Has anyone seen this? Seems like we could have a discussion about it. Do you consider NS to be a copy of this? Its the Aikun Morphus X300 Gaming Tablet.
If you don't know already - that frame that is featured is called a "smear frame". You could also just call it an inbetween. It is a single frame in the animation - since pikachu is moving so quickly in frame, they utilized this drawing to help the animation be just a tad bit smoother and less "strobe like"
Say what you want about the style as a whole - but those ugly smear and blur frames exist everywhere in animation - they are just so quick that people don't notice them.
It will be interesting to see the 3DS version work it's wireless muscles in a crowd of hundreds of wireless devices and other electronic interference. I'm hoping it works well so that smash 3ds will be worth playing in a tourney setting.
@slawhon after a quick google search you'll find that these elements are actually built into the games original engine. You just never knew they existed. There are lots of ways to exploit the engine - and people continue to find new ways to play (like the other infinite lives trick that was found just a few days ago) http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/SuperMarioBros.html

Really really excited for this one.

Re: Nintendo and DeNA Shares Tumble as Investors Show Super Mario Run Revenue Fears
I absolutely love the pricing model. I love paying for a game once and have it be done. I have several premium games on my phone.
However with Mario Run being only 24 levels, and requiring a constant online connection to play, it's value definitely dropped for me.
I own Rayman Fiesta Run and Jungle Run - and they are a fantastic runner very similar to Mario Run.
Can anyone convince me why Mario Run is overall better than those two games? Still trying to decide if I should buy it.
