There's that image of the retail store setup and they've got a ton of Switch stuff all around and then on the demo TV screen it's a pic of Sun/Moon. I think that's what people we basing it off of.



This makes sense. Marketing off the back of Fabulous Alolan Dugtrio will guarantee Switches continue to fly off the shelves until kingdom come

Am I insane, or was there talk of Pokemon Sun/Moon getting ported to Switch? I was kind of holding out for it on that score.

I think I heard the "Pokemon Stars" rumors were put out by one of the supposed leakers who got everything hilariously wrong at the Switch event?

LEMME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!!!
Samsung Evo Select... good enough? 80/20 read/write speeds. That is $40 vs $76 for the Pro Select (95/90 read/write speeds). The read speed is the most important here and I doubt $35 is worth the extra 15mbps. Also, I doubt the system would take advantage of the higher write speed for downloads anyway and will probably be limited by the server connection (or your wifi if that is slower).

I think the Nintendo Switch licensed Hori cards are UHS-1 and not UHS-3, so would be in line with the 80/20 spec of the Evo Select

edit: Also, I assume the UHS-II cards are overkill (260/100 read/write and $99).

It'd be nice if App performance classification (A1: 1500 read-ops and 500 write-ops per second) were available in time for the Switch, but they became a standard literally last month so welp. EVO Selects and EVO Pluses (literally the same thing) will at least do 100 write-ops and Nintendo has to plan around existing MicroSD stocks so they'll probably be okay.

And whoever posted the 256 GB EVO Plus upthread: Yeah that's a Pro Plus.

They're actually from a dead forum, twitter is just the only way I can keep up with them occasionally.

I just remembered that Miiverse used to be a thing that got used semi frequently. Passive-aggressively (which was all you could do unless you wanted to get banned) feuding with them on there was so much fun. I'll miss the miiverse, best thing about the Wii U hands down.

Unfortunately the local inkling authorities saw otherwise and didn't consider graffiti as art worth protecting, so they tightened legislature to stomp out what they perceive as vandalism.

He does a weekly podcast with Laura Dale who is trans and a drunk Irish guys so he's obviously a nazi.
The reason he uses the imagery and makes videos like the one telling people to pirate Nintendo stuff is because it pisses off dingbats.
