Something that just occurred to me regarding usage shown in the teaser is that if they want people to take it to a friend's place or some other group gathering for multiplayer, they should make the standard AC adapter support two being plugged in, because there's no way this thing is going to have sufficient battery life. Being able to run two off of one cord would make the portable multiplayer aspect a lot easier than both having to lug around an adapter.

All in all I think this is a neat idea, and I don't really care too much about underpowered hardware or whatever as long as art direction is good and it's not a glorified 3ds.

I mean, if nintendo just stopped with consoles and made games for sony and microsoft consoles, I would buy almost every nintendo game. As it is, I buy almost zero

Its unfortunate, but like people who pirate HBO just to watch Game of Thrones, they mostly don't care. They make more off the big package deal than they would selling software ala carte. Or at least they believe they would.

If it has compatibility with actual 3DS cards that'd rule, although I'm not expecting it.

If it can download games you've already bought digitally for 3DS and run them I'd be so happy.

And that's fine. It's my loss, more than theirs, but I can't justify buying a nintendo console in addition to a "real" console. I did recently buy a 3ds, though, so I'm onthat bandwagon. Maybe. i haven't touched it in weeks. I got my money's worth, though.

Hello everybody, how is everyone doing today?

I just got back from going to a local bar/tavern thing and it was fun, had some good food (a good burger and some good chili), and I saw that they had beer for sale that wasn't just budweiser and stuff like that. I've always been told that budweiser and poo poo are all absolutely awful and people only get them because they're cheap and they want a quick buzz but I've never had any of that stuff so idk. They did have a beer called Sweet Baby Jesus that I remember a goon suggesting people try out. Have any of you ever heard of/tried Sweet Baby Jesus, or do any of you have any recommendations for beers as a person who hasn't really tried any before?

Here's the thing: if they made SMM for the Switch it would mean that a major feature of the game would only work when it's not connected to a TV. That's why I'm skeptical when people say it has a touchscreen, because that's the kind of thing that would blur the portable/console hybrid thing they're going for.

Well, it's a porter, so it's automatically better than anything lighter than it.

I'm going to give an unpopular opinion and say that until you're actually used to beer it really doesn't matter if you start off drinking Bud or Coor's or whatever. They're all likely to taste like crap at first.

You might want to stay away from IPAs because they'll taste more bitter. And in keeping with that, Sweet Baby Jesus sounds really good. I love maltier beers like that one but based on other people I know who are not much into beer, even those taste bad when you're starting out.

If your town has any sour beer options, that's a good option to try out.

Ah Porters as well as Stouts are beers made with roasted malts, giving them a dark color and a mild-to-strong coffee/chocolate sorta character in addition to the regular ...beer-ey flavor

good stuff but people who only like domestics may be kinda put off by them as they're pretty different



I feel like wheat beers are good entry points into the Beer That Isn't Budweiser segment

in general things with higher ABVs will have stronger flavors (although this isn't always true) so try and pick out a lower one if you don't want to get slapped with malt and hops
