What parties do you people go to where it's considered not insanely weird and immature to whip out a video game at it?

My kid daughter brought over her web-development company co-workers over last night.
Five nerdy couples in their early twenties.
They had no problem at all whipping out Zelda and watching someone play.
And they had a hootin' hollerin' good time with 1-2 Switch.
(Some beers were involved.)

I'd only bought 12S as a tech demo myself, but seeing how much fun they had, I figure it's money pretty well spent.

One kid--to whom I sold my extra preorder Switch--went out and bought 12S after I loaned him mine for a couple weekends while I was waiting for my JP unit to arrive (which I didn't need to do at all, other than getting the neon model).

I really hope the attach rate of 1-2 Switch is less than 5% just cuz Nintendo are stupid as hell for thinking they could charge for that crap

I only got it because I was able to get it for super cheap, and my Niece likes games like this.

Even then I still feel like I paid too much for it.

With Wednesday's upcoming restock, I hope I'm able to get a Switch this week. I originally wanted the Neon version but realized I can just buy those color joycons later if they only have gray. Is there anything beyond Zelda that is must buy for Switch atm?

I've been keeping tabs on this thread, but this is the first I've heard about a specific date restock. Is this like for all retailers or just Gamestop/Best Buy or something?

There was an article on forbes about the wednesday restock for gamestop. And obviously the employees had no clue until the article came out.

that's just day 1+ DLC that's included in the sale price for some reason, doesn't affect the value of the game in any fashion whatsoever

You know that when the data isn't downloaded, is included with the game, and isn't charged for when its unlocked, that its not in fact DLC?

I'm not buying the Switch until they:
- Port DOOM (2016)
- Port Bloodborne
- actually restock the stores so I can buy it.

It actually came with two stickers and I used the bigger one, though I agree the smaller one would have looked better. I'll probably change it.

If I thought that F-Zero GX was the third best GameCube game, right behind Melee and Windwaker, how much would I like Fast RMX? I don't have a Switch now, but I inevitably will some day.

They're all complete loving garbage though. So there is that. You're much better off emulating it on anything that can emulate a Genesis. Unfortunately no one even makes a decent fake Genesis controller (ala the iBuffalo SNES controller).

Beat zelda. I might do a rush run. But probably done until dlc.

Picked up my ds4 to start horizon. It feels like crap to hold after the pro controller to 100+ hours.

Its a great little arcadie racing game along those lines. But it gets ullshit hard real fast. ( I might just be bad) the ai is drat perfect. It really scratches that itch though. Its a great "hand someone a joycon and play game." I'm on record hating single joycon use, but when you are just turning left and right its serviceable. And its great looking and fast.

I doubt most will put the time in to 100% it but I like it well enough.
