My Switch is mainly docked, though I only play Taiko no Tatsujin games in tabletop mode due to a minor latency annoyance when played on TV.
I have a flexible tripod with a tablet support which sometimes I use the Switch with in my bedroom, but there are games that really deserve to be played on the big screen rather than on its small one.
Just tested it. In Trials of Mana the boot takes around a quarter of a second. Other games are also sped up, but in Taiko no Tatsujin Drum n' Fun it still took a very long time to boot as usual.
I'm glad Ni no Kuni II is coming to Switch. Loved the first game and been dying to play the sequel. And it's nice I can support the franchise on Switch.
In those days, I had to keep shaking my 3ds to get coins in order to buy several repeated puzzle pieces because that was the only way I could complete the panels. StreetPass was a rare occasion.
Skyward Sword was the second Zelda game I ever played. Honestly, at the time I didn't even realize how much people disliked it. I mean, the motion controls were a bit awkward throughout the playthrough, but I finished the game with no problems at all.
I'm actually kind of excited for this remaster as I've forgotten most of the story. Won't be playing it anytime soon though, since I'll wait for a sale.
I've had a Samsung Galaxy S7 for 3 years and no sign of burn in on its screen. On the other hand, I purchased a second hand Vita which shows slightly marks of burn in.
I don't know the answers to avoid these problems, but in the case of the Switch OLED, I would say it's better to vary the play styles on it. Whenever possible, just play it on the dock and use it as a portable only when necessary, and when you're in a darker environment, just set the auto brightness on. That must be enough to avoid the screen burn in.
The only thing I'd like the UI to have is a way to move the icons, so I could personalize my home menu rather than using preset options. Don't really care about folders.
The mockup is quite pretty though. Just didn't like the logos on top of the screen. I would remove them, move the games icons up and return the side buttons to the bottom.
If Konami is really working on the Metal Gear franchise, I'd like to see a remake of the MSX titles. People have been begging for this for a long time and they know it has a huge commercial appealing, just like FF7R.
Also, they'd better port/remake MGS4 to other platforms because that game doesn't deserve to be tied to an old console forever and I'm sure there's a big audience of new players and people who didn't have a PS3 and never had a chance to play it.
As for The Twin Snakes, a remaster would be nice. I don't think there's need for another remake.
I find it funny how the game's page on eShop has 4 screenshots only and none of them are from the gameplay. Guess even the publisher is embarrassed to have released this atrocity of a game.
I don't think FFVII:R will arrive on Switch, but I'd love it if they announced Ever Crisis is coming for consoles. Actually, it's probably inevitable, just would be too soon to reveal this now.
Everyone seems to be asking for Celceta, but I think it would be really awesome if they'd remake Ys V: Lost Kefin. Not just a remaster of the PS2 version, but a full fledged remake.
I see myself more as a gamer. In every platform I own I got an average of 3~4 games on backlog to finish. That's on Switch, Wii U, Xbox 360, 3DS and PS Vita (and my brother's PS4 which is with me right now).
My biggest problem is that in recent years I began wanting to marathon most story based games. For instance, I recently purchased Trials of Mana but won't start playing it without playing first its previous games. Same with The Witcher 3. And being like that feels like a burden, honestly.
Today PS Plus owners got Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I had played the first 2 games a couple years ago on Xbox 360 and decided not to replay them before starting the third game. And I'm feeling somewhat guilty because I don't quite remember the story. 🤦🏻♂️
I am a Switch owner who intends to buy an Xbox Series S in a not-so-distant future. Would've probably done so already if I weren't living in this mess of a country called Brazil. The new consoles prices are awfully absurd right now.
I was really looking forward to this game and Wii U is the only system I own. After this, I will never support Nicalis or that Tyrone dude. He is one of the biggest douchebags in the industry.
How can anyone even consider this a possibility of being true?! If this controller were real, it wouldn't take 5 minutes to hurt your hands badly. Plus, why would it be showing a dog and a digital clock on its screen instead of a proper game?

Re: Konami España Hints At More Switch News To Come
I'd certainly love to have the Metal Gear franchise on Switch. Be it Rising or TPP, or even TTS Remastered (one can always dream).
But Konami REALLY needs to do 2 things: remake the 2 Metal Gear games from the MSX and, somehow, release MGS4 on other platforms.

Yeah, very believable...
