Why is everyone crying about themes? I just don't get it. Folders, I am not dying for but at least I get it. When I put a theme in my 3DS IT LOADED MORE SLOWLY!
@invictus4000 Why would you say that? Just because it's not your ideal way of playing? For me (and me alone) the joy cons are horrible. If I could buy a Switch that was $180 because it wasn't bundled with a dock and doesn't have the mechanism that allows removable joy cons, and doesn't have a cart reader (I far prefer buying digital) but it still could be put in a dock if you already have 1 (I already have 2), I'd buy it without hesitation. I do 80% of my gaming on airplanes during work trips or in cars so while it wouldn't be appealing to you, it would be to me and maybe others as well.
@PipeGuy64Bit Why would a Switch Pro be annoying? I'd buy 1. I'd be excited! I love my New 3DS XL with it's additional RAM, faster processor, bigger battery and better screen.
@Heavyarms55 @IceClimbers @Regpuppy @Alucard83 @EmmatheBest @JaxonH I've never played a Tales game, but seeing how many people voted for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition I'm thinking I need to check it out. I don't love all JRPGS but I do love some of them. I love all 3 Xenoblade games, and I really liked Ys VIII, strong stories really suck me in hard, but I also struggle with turn based combat (I couldn't get into Bravely Default or Octopath Traveler at all for example)
@Wesjedker thanks?!? I feel slightly better. Truth is I don't enjoy they're phone games (yes I've tried them all I almost looked Miitomo). I love my Switch and I loved my Wii U & 3DS and I don't want an end of these for mobile games
@Seacliff actually it does work that way. They shrink the screen and maybe drop it's resolution (smaller & cheaper), smaller screen means they can use a smaller battery (smaller & cheaper) they remove all the mechanical pieces that allow removable Joy cons (cheaper) & it no longer needs a Bluetooth chip to connect controllers (cheaper)
I have no idea if they're correct, but I'm hoping for but. I'd like to see the mini/Cheap version because I want more people to jump in the band wagon, but I really want a pro version with Bluetooth headphone support, a bigger battery, smaller screen bezzels, more RAM & a faster processor. I was going to buy the Smash Special edition and hand my current Switch to my kids, but then I heard the rumor about the Switch Pro and decided to wait for that one instead. I know it'll cost more, but I'll be happy to pay for it
@antdickens @Garage I'm with you Garage, not having the original Xenoblade Chronicles was A HUGE oversight. If they took that game and turned it HD is could be off the charts good!
This year I had the most fun with
1-NBA Playgrounds 2
2-Ys VIII
3-Smash
4-Starlink (might go higher next week when I finally have to time to play more)
Note-Torna might have made it, but I haven't beat Xenoblade 2 yet, I put about 40 hours in recently and I'm loving it. As soon as I finish Xenoblade 2 I'll start Torna
I prefer Digital, it's much more convenient and safe (that's right I said it) I travel a lot and I have 4 kids. My digital copies can't be lost or stolen. Even if my Switch is stolen I can redownload them when I buy a new switch.
I'll buy physical if it's a game I'm not sure I'll like it if Physical is significantly cheaper.
I own a 400 GB micro SD card so for now I'm good as far as space is concerned
I'd desperately like Bluetooth headphones support (if the new rumored Switch has this, a bigger battery, a bigger screen/smaller bezels & 1080p then I'll buy it for sure)
@joshxx @Mgene15 this game is super fun. I bought it the day before Thanksgiving and we took it with us to my little brothers house. After we put the kids to bed there were 5 of us adults that played for 3 hours and everyone loved it. Ever since my wife and I pull it out 3 or 4 nights a week. It's amazingly fun
@Kimyonaakuma @gokev13 @Kimyonaakuma I'm shocked that nobody sees Switches out in the wild. I travel for work all the time. I love to play mine in the airports and on the planes and I always see others playing plus I frequently have people who see me play and stop and ask me about what I'm playing.
Gathered together with a bunch of family, we spent hours and hours playing 4 player NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 (bought it on sale on the eShop right before Thanksgiving and it already more than justified the cost)
For me it's all about that sale. There's some great deals. I bought NBA 2K Playgrounds. And I'm considering NBA 2K 19, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, & Lego Worlds

@Painkiller_Mike what do you mean "my Switch broke"? I LOVED Super Luigi U

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 24th)
