"The Joy-Con are cosmetically identical, although they too have revised innards - the practical differences from the current models are unclear at this time."

Does this mean Nintendo may have found a solution to stop drifting? I hope so. It hasn't happened to me but I keep worrying that it might.

Did someone say Columns?! Sold!

That's awesome, really it is, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue of why drifting happens so frequently and how can future revisions fix the issue. I barely use my Joy-Cons but I am super careful when I do and I am paranoid about somehow causing drifting.

I live in the US but I'm appalled on behalf of the European players. They should be able to buy it with platinum points the same as us. I can't stand how MyNintendo has the same problems as Club Nintendo: region-specific stuff, especially digital content that should have no problems being offered to all.

"After this, though, future support will be limited to balance adjustments and monthly league matches." What do they mean by "monthly league matches?" Something to do with Ranked Battles? I only play Turf War and Salmon Run.

No, but I barely use them. I primarily play with my Pro Controller except for Pokemon Let's Go when I have to play with Joy-Cons. I pray I don't end up with a drift. $10 off already quite expensive controllers was not a good enough discount for me on Prime Day.

@Moistnado Good luck with that. I said the same thing about the New 3DS XL and then bought it anyway.

I'm happy for all those who primarily play in handheld mode. I play docked and tabletop more then I play handheld so I will be skipping this model.

I'm surprised they didn't release a standalone cart that contained the emulation needed to play all GB/GBC carts. Thanks to Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, I saved a lot on batteries and played my Pokemon games via the TV instead of the Game Boy.

I'm curious if anyone knows the answer or who can point me in the right direction. Is it just a case of "Well the law says..." when people are struck down by the IP holder for passing around bootleg digital copies of an item (books, TV shows, movies, video games, etc) when there is no legit way of acquiring the item outside of the second-hand market where the IP holder does not get a share of the selling price or is it something else? I can understand Nintendo not liking the idea that people are downloading Super Mario Bros. when there are several ways of purchasing the game in 2019, but I've seen other companies issue C&Ds and takedowns for other media items not available for purchase. Ex. Viacom removing old Nick shows from YouTube and torrent sites that are not officially available anywhere under any format, or old Dell and 4-Color comics that have never gotten any kind of omnibus reprint 40-50 years after the initial release.

I've gotten bans from other sites for asking this question and if it violates any ToS, I humbly apologize.

To everyone who asks why Joy Cons that cannot connect to the Switch should exist, my guess is these controllers are designed for people who play docked or tabletop mode with detached Joy Cons.

I wish the darn thing would be announced already so the storm of complaints that it wasn't what people wanted can pass that much quicker. But the general model that these accessories suggest is honestly exactly what I predicted in a Mini. I don't know why some people think a Switch Mini is going to be Switch hardware shoved inside an OG 3DS case.

That's great news, now please don't judge me if I download adult mods for Skyrim and Fallout on my PC. I can't stand that hypocrisy.

@Claytonbob Agree. I love the option to beep out language in Brutal Legend, and then the game proceeds to be all "okay, we warned you" if you choose to hear the uncensored track.

She's staring into my soul! "I've seen your browser history. What the actual heck."

At least you can easily exit to the home menu and shut down the game.

I hope the same happens with Splatoon amiibo. I want my girls but I won't ebay prices.

And instantly I am taken back to 2002 when I was baffled to see longtime rival Sonic on a Mario platform.

Please please PLEASE make these available to NA Club Nintendo, PLEASE!! I want those posters and you know they're going to be jacked in price on ebay.

While the rest of the gaming world looks forward to Switch revisions, I'll be eating my popcorn reading about those individuals who express their displeasure at not getting exactly what they want in loud and whiny tones.

I bought the US bundle back in March and I'm quite happy with it. After three months of excessive play, neither Joy Con has yet to present any problems, and I have no interest in the supposed Switch Mini as I primarily play docked.

I hope it fixes the WiFi. For years, I connected to Splatoon just fine until earlier this year, when it suddenly decides to disconnect after 30 seconds. As much as I adore Splatoon 2, I want to play both.

No Sonic Mania 2 or something similar, don't care.

Saints Row 2 remake. Saint's Row 5. A good Saint's Row game.

Tempted but the wire makes it iffy. I need a ten-foot cord to play comfortably.

I get being upset at not liking the aesthetics of an icon, I hate it when an ebook decides to update the cover and I preferred the old one, but deleting the game because you hate the icon or it screws with the visual image you're trying to project? This screams the old argument of "who are you trying to impress with your large collection of physical games in this digital age?"

I honestly don't think it has anything to do with NSO, just something related to Super Mario Maker.

@gcunit In America, they sold with 3-button controllers, but the III unit was bundled with 6 button controllers.

I saw Detective Pikachu earlier and a parent was horrified at the idea that Cubone wears his deceased mother's skull. Her 8-year-old son shrugged it off, "yeah, Mom, that's been a thing for a long time."

Clearly, Mario is carrying his 3DS with him in Odessey, making him so stable to safely sleep anywhere.

I work next to a movie theater. I saw a lot of kids carrying Pikachu plushes into the theater, really made me smile. I'll be seeing it sometime this week.

Teleportation kills you and creates a perfect clone of yourself. Time Travel FTW.

Think I'll grab it on Steam. I very rarely play portable.

Love this game, will totally buy DLC packs, especially if they mean new cars.

Not really bothered by the critics. I never expected it to be Best Picture worthy but I'm going to see it next weekend and I have faith I will enjoy it and possibly praise it as "video game movie adaption done right."

Go Cuphead! I won't be double dipping as I already own it on Steam but I'm glad it's doing well.

Minus the skin, that's roughly what I think a Switch Mini would possibly look like. I'd be surprised if they turned the Switch into 3DS-esque dimensions, and even if they did, I'm sure it would be more akin to the XL then the OG. Sounds like we're gonna get some entertainment if they do announce a Switch Mini.

I get to play Splatoon 2 multiplayer. That's why I sub to the service and that's all I care about.

I was one of the Let's Go Eevee players this past March.

Waggling Joy-Cons means "designed with TV mode in mind?" I found catching pokemon in Let's Go heck of a lot easier in handheld mode, not to mention it felt "normal."

Can Splatfests keep going forever then? I know it's asking too much for Splatoon 3 to be on the Switch.

Personally, not having achievements doesn't bother me, but I won't protest their inclusion for those who want achievements.

And the madness continues with wish lists, theories, predictions, and rumors.

I think the rumors that a dockless Switch Lite came from suggestions that removing the docking ability would lower the cost and help make it smaller, and the users that say they use the Switch primarily in handheld mode and the dock feature is meaningless to them.

At this rate, can SOMETHING come out? I think I'd rather deal with people discussing the pros and cons and personal preferences that make or break a new revision then rumors, rumors, and more rumors.

I ordered an Amazon Fire tablet and a cover for a Christmas present last year. They sent me two tablets and no covers. I bought two covers from Best Buy and gave away both tablets as gifts.

If I received 10 amiibos, I'd totally sell them.

I bought a PC game in 2008 that came with two copies of Disc 2, and a sealed copy of Bioshock Infinite with a blank CD-R instead of a game disc inside.

I was very young when Super Mario Bros first came out. Having slopes in SMB 3 was a huge factor in showing how much the game had evolved compared to the original. I really hope putting slopes is a feature. I really enjoy sliding down a slope and taking out bad guys in the process.

@Aurumonado Alright, I'll make a Japanese account and see if I can find any game I can play without knowing the language.

@BensonUii Darn. Thanks for telling me.

@BensonUii Curious, are you able to collect gold coins off of it onto a NA account?
