Let me tell you about true luxury.

Nah, not bothering to preorder. I'm going to wait until it's at least a month after launch and there are enough impressions out there to confirm that there are no issues with the OS speed, hardware performance, heat, screen scratches, etc. before I consider buying.

If it's really severely supply-constrained, well, my Steam backlog isn't going anywhere in the meantime.

Look at Mr. Sensible here, la dee da, I bet you also change your car's oil on time and pay your taxes, gently caress you!

I will only get a Switch at launch if the new Zelda launches alongside it and not this "launch window" bullshit. Same day release or Nintendo doesn't get my money until BOTW is out in stores or available on eshop. :colbert:

Any chance Amazon/Best Buy /etc do online pre-orders starting at midnight? Obviously we don't know exactly what will happen but wondering how it went down for previous consoles. I have work in the morning so I can't get to a store since they all open at like 9 or 10.

Nope, either stay up or wake early. These things are usually up at 9AM Pacific, earlier than that if you're on the East.

Or just do it on your phone, and good luck with that.

I played through Shovel Knight and enjoyed it, and then played through a few of the plague Knight levels and thought it was alright but didn't really hold my interest. All these other expansions I'm like "Nah, I'm good." Like, I think it's a good game and know they have Kickstarter goals they have to meet, but move on already. I hope they're working on something else.

I'd be okay if Capcom gave them the reigns to Mega Man.

Thursday night, 8p Pacific, 11p Eastern. It's like that because it's hosted in Japan. The morning after stream is in New York.

First is 11 PM EST Thursday. The next day at 10 AM EST will be a Nintendo Treehouse playing all the games they showed off the night before for a more in depth view of each

I will continue to hold out hope that we get a new Viewtiful Joe and a proper Chibi-Robo sequel on the Switch

If you could bring the tablet without the dock and use the mini controllers on a friends tv that should be easy to do. Nobody wants to play on a tiny screen

That would mean that the Switch would have to drive a higher resolution and worse performance and a great way to eat up the battery on the device. Seems like you're going to be stuck with the small screen or bring the dock.

If you want to use it in console mode, just bring the dock with you. Or buy a second dock and leave it at your friend's house

The dock needs to turn into a portable power cable

they took everything charming about the first one, including the english VA and friendly Nopon treehouse and social link quest tree, and replaced it all with the worst story and characters imaginable, horrid Ubisoft-esque landmark quests, and jar jar binks aliens. somehow even the combat got worse with the needlessly complex Statuses they added, along with a dozen other stupid combo statuses that added extremely little.

I'd rather get a port of Kid Icarus Uprising so it's easier for most human beings to play it with twin sticks, as God intended.

See I liked all the buffs/debuff stuff because your character amplifies itself a fuckton and then you dish out high damage ray beams :science: which i thought would be amplified with skelll but lol no, but yes they went away with all the charm the first game had and went all in anime-esque lolz cutscenes with Nopon xD
