MicroSDXC cards that were prohibitively expensive at the dawn of the Switch's lifecycle are finally affordable (when on sale) near the system's twilight.
I loved the first game on the Wii so I'll absolutely be giving this a look. One thing I enjoyed about the original is the ability to play your own MP3 music files in the game, essentially customizing your soundtrack. It's a long shot, but I wouldn't mind seeing that in the new game.
I think I'll forgo these re-releases and just stick with the versions I already have on PC (though being able to play classic Battlefront on the go sounds really cool). I'm glad they're finding a new audience on the Switch though.
Smash Bros is one of the few games that gets me to buy a Nintendo system. All of the games were fantastic…
But I think the one I played the most and has the biggest spot in my heart is Brawl (3DS Smash comes in a close second). I loved how much single-player content it had. I loved how accessible it was (Wiimote, Wiimote+Nunchuck, Classic Controller, GameCube Controller), so anyone could play. It’s also the only Smash Bros game I preordered (and I don’t regret it).
I love Ultimate and the level of ambition it achieved, but Brawl has me on nostalgia.
I think the big thing keeping me from getting the Switch version is the fact that I got it on Wii U Virtual Console right before the service shut down.
I am wondering about how many homes owned a Wii versus a Switch. For the Wii, a house might’ve had one or two systems with multiple Wiimotes, whereas a Switch might see a console for each user (particularly the Lite model), effectively lowering the percentage of homes with a Switch versus a Wii.
Congrats on its success though. I’m hoping it continues to sell well.

Re: Pokémon GO's Level Cap Is Getting Increased In A New Update
I like that the Level Up Research Tasks are being removed for players level 41 to 50. I’m stuck at 43 with 2 million XP over (I hate battling).

Oh look, the truck with a huge grain of salt just rolled in. BRB, I have to go sign for it.
If the reveal is real, awesome. If not, I can still wait, play Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare in the meantime.

Re: Nintendo Reveals New Details For Endless Ocean Luminous

Re: Balatro Has Officially Sold 1 Million Copies
@Nidorom I found some money left over on a gift card and got it on Switch. I’m really enjoying it!

I’m good with Tecmo Bowl.

Zombie Defense isn’t bad.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Nominated For Another 'Game Of The Year' Award
Off subject, I'm kind of surprised to see "Dave the Diver" not get nominated for best indie game.
All the same, congrats to Zelda! I wish it luck.

Re: Nintendo Switch Has Surpassed The Wii's Lifetime Sales In The US
I am wondering about how many homes owned a Wii versus a Switch. For the Wii, a house might’ve had one or two systems with multiple Wiimotes, whereas a Switch might see a console for each user (particularly the Lite model), effectively lowering the percentage of homes with a Switch versus a Wii.
Congrats on its success though. I’m hoping it continues to sell well.
