I might have to cancel my pre-order. I've got a dentist appointment (and possibly a root canal) on Friday and I don't know how my finances will look afterwards.
YouTube hasn't worked on my 3DS for a while now, so no biggie. The only video app that does run is Netflix (which only loads about half the time anyway).
It's interesting to see the number of units sold, but I'm curious to know how many households own a PS4 or a Switch (it's not unreasonable to consider there are households with more than one Switch or even PS4).

Maybe. It could encourage players to try a game in a way they might not have before. On the other hand, the bug reason I got Skyrim for Switch instead of PS4 is precisely BECAUSE it didn't have trophies. I'd already got Platinum on the PS3 version and the idea of doing everything over again kind of bugged me. I wanted to play it however I felt with no repercussions (if I missed some arbitrary NPC at the 50 hour mark, I'd be out of a trophy and eventually Platinum).

Re: Doug Bowser Refuses To Read The Last Rites For The Nintendo 3DS Just Yet
@Heavyarms55 To be fair, Sony pledges at least ten years of support for all of its home consoles.
PSOne: 1994 - 2006
PS2: 2000 - 2013
PS3: 2006 - 2017
Re: Select ACA Neo Geo Fighting Games On The Switch eShop Are Currently 50% Off
I've got most (if not all) of these on PC or Android (thank you Humble Bundle), but they'd still be worth a look otherwise.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Hosting Smash Bros. Ultimate Terry Bogard Livestream On 6th November
I'm not as excited for Terry as I've been for the other DLC characters, but I will still give it a gander.
Re: This Switch eShop Game Is On Sale For Just Two Cents, But Should You Buy It?
I got it for a gold coin. It's not a great game, but worse games have also been sold for much more money.
Re: Review: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered - Bare-Bones, But A Thrilling Nostalgia Trip
I played the PS2 version, so I may give this a Redbox rental if it comes.
Re: Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training Is Making A Glorious Comeback On Switch
The original Brain Age was my first game on the DS and I loved it, so I am definitely down for this.
Re: Gearbox Software: "Never Say Never" To Borderlands On Switch
I'd be down for a Switch port of Borderlands (and Fallout, but that's a different story and a different company).
Re: Rev Up Your Engines For The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe North American Open
If I'm not too busy, I wouldn't mind trying.
Re: The First Zelda: Link's Awakening Switch Review Is Now In, And It's Looking Good
I might have to cancel my pre-order. I've got a dentist appointment (and possibly a root canal) on Friday and I don't know how my finances will look afterwards.
Re: Japanese Releases Of Dragon Quest I, II And III On Switch Will Be Playable In English
I think I will stick with my Android versions, but this is still nice.

@oats-81 I played Clubhouse Games so much, the connectors on the game card are going bad.
Re: Gallery: All The Hero's Alternate Costumes And Mii Fighter Outfits In Smash Bros. Ultimate
I've stayed away from Mii fighters this time around (unlike Smash 4), but I may pick up a few of these.
Re: Sorry Nintendo, But The 3DS Really Is Dead Now
I'm curious to see how many software units the system has sold, where Nintendo actually makes most of its money.
Re: 3DS YouTube Service Ends In Japan This September
YouTube hasn't worked on my 3DS for a while now, so no biggie. The only video app that does run is Netflix (which only loads about half the time anyway).

I'm curious to know how RE VII on the Switch did in Japan...

Re: Dr. Mario World Racks Up Two Million Downloads In Its First 72 Hours
I'm a bit burned out on Nintendo mobile games, so I'm abstaining from Dr. Mario for now, but I may come back to it later.
Re: Tetris 99 And Splatoon 2 Collide In A Special Maximus Cup Event
@Matthew010 I thought there was a few days between Europe and North America getting their rewards. All the same, congratulations on winning!
Re: The Second DLC Pack For Tetris 99 Will Include Offline Multiplayer
@carmudgeon I've seen gameplay footage of it and it looks positively gorgeous. I've also seen it for $20 at GameStop. I'll look more into it.
Re: The Second DLC Pack For Tetris 99 Will Include Offline Multiplayer
I might just stick with this instead of getting Tetris Effect now.
Re: Tetris 99 And Splatoon 2 Collide In A Special Maximus Cup Event
Still waiting on results from the last Maximus Cup, but this could be fun.
Re: Video: Discover More About The Elder Scrolls: Blades
My girlfriend has Blades on her phone. It does look interesting, so I may give it a try on the Switch (my phone can't run it).
Re: Just Dance 2020 Arrives On Switch And Nintendo Wii This November
@patbacknitro18 I can believe that.
Re: Just Dance 2020 Arrives On Switch And Nintendo Wii This November
How many copies of Just Dance on the Wii does Ubisoft need to sell to justify next year's version?
Re: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Busts Onto Switch Later This Year
I enjoyed the PS2 version back in the day, so this could be fun
Re: Today's Smash Bros. Ultimate Update Adds Labo VR Support
I don't have Labo VR, but the amiibo update could be useful!
Re: A New Detective Pikachu Game Has Been Announced For Nintendo Switch
A bolt of brilliance! I just hope it's longer than the original.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd May (North America)
I bought Minecraft during the 10th Anniversary sale. Nothing else for me this week.

Well poo, the app is incompatible with my devices.
Re: Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales In Japan
It's interesting to see the number of units sold, but I'm curious to know how many households own a PS4 or a Switch (it's not unreasonable to consider there are households with more than one Switch or even PS4).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 11th)
I'm playing Smash Bros and Pokemon Go (we're in a double XP event right now), but I've been feeling an itch to fire up Diablo III again soon.
Re: Tetris 99 Big Block DLC Adds Two New Offline Game Modes
It feels like the last Maximus Cup just ended. All the same, I'm excited for it, especially the Game Boy theme.
Re: Nintendo Hints At Further Switch Online Exclusives Following Tetris 99
These last two Tetris Maximus Cup tournaments have practically paid for my NSO subscription. I'm definitely down for more Tetris features.
Re: Random: Game Boy Classic Super Mario Land Gets A Fan-Made DX Update
@Jayofmaya I don't know man. AM2R (the Metroid 2 remake) floated around in various states for a few years before Nintendo gave it the kebosh. AND Pokemon Brown and Prism, both of these ROM hacks.
Re: Random: Game Boy Classic Super Mario Land Gets A Fan-Made DX Update
Cease and desist order in three, two, one...

I had a copy of the promo VHS that Nintendo Power gave out to subscribers back in the day and I remember seeing this clip.
Re: Concept Artist At Blizzard Entertainment Creates Fashionable Smash Bros. Ultimate Artwork
My favorite is the one with Zelda and the Ice Climbers. Not that I'm biased or anything... I'm enjoying the different art styles from artists across the industry for all of these storied characters, particularly Raf Grassetti's approach.
Re: Get Discounts On Zelda, Metroid And More With My Nintendo Rewards (North America)
Maybe Pandora's Tower...
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Would "Love" To See Borderlands On Switch
I'd love to see it on the Switch too!
Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?
Maybe. It could encourage players to try a game in a way they might not have before. On the other hand, the bug reason I got Skyrim for Switch instead of PS4 is precisely BECAUSE it didn't have trophies. I'd already got Platinum on the PS3 version and the idea of doing everything over again kind of bugged me. I wanted to play it however I felt with no repercussions (if I missed some arbitrary NPC at the 50 hour mark, I'd be out of a trophy and eventually Platinum).
Pros and cons, but my answer is No, thank you.
Re: Random: Walmart Is Selling A Bundle Of 300 Switch Consoles For $76,506
Call the Air Force. See if they want to hack the Switch and hook them up together to build a supercomputer like they did with the PS3.
Re: Nintendo Announces Mario Kart Tour Closed Beta Test For Android Devices
I just applied.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Analysis Of Cuphead On The Nintendo Switch

Re: Humble Store Expands Digital Switch Selection With More Third-Party Offerings
Every time I see "Humble" in the headline on this website, I get really excited. Then I learn it's not a bundle...
