Weird. Was really hoping for it to be the perfect airplane laptop replacement with some decent Skyrim and such. Did they say if netflix/browser etc, will be released later as an update? Hell, didnt the PSP or the vita have a web browser?

Edit : Will it atleast have a movie player or VLC? So I can put movies on the sd card?

Reggie has said that Netflix, Youtube, and Amazon Video "will come in time," but "will come in time" is a pretty vague sentence.

Im still lol at the guy who thought wonder boy was a nes game

I'm not that dude but this was honestly the vibe that I got from it, a hand-drawn remake of an NES game a la Ducktales. I'll check out a demo if there is one, maybe there's more to it than the videos make it look like there is.

It is a 1:1 remake of a Turbo Grafx game. The funny part was that he said faux 8-bit, because there's nothing faux about it.

Single-handedly repopulating the Earth.

Gamestop has this bundle up for preorder.
I am interested in everything included, but it doesn't ship until the 28th, and if my math is correct, there is no discount for bundling everything together.

So the question is, do I preorder now at the higher price to get get a switch in two weeks, or wait and see if I can snag one sooner, and get all the stuff later?

$300 - Switch
$60 - BOTW
$20 - BOTW DLC
$20 - Snipper Clips
$40 - Has Been Heroes
$25 - Shovel Knight Treasure Trove
=$465

You save a whopping $20 in the bundle, but you would dave $29 with Gamers Club Unlocked if you bought all the games individually.

If you want all of those games, then get it.

I'm afraid I just "blue" myself

Has Been Heroes is only $19.99, not $40, on the eshop, so it really doesn't save any money to go for the bundle.

It's easier to bring the Switch places than to bring your PC? You know, for all the rooftop parties. Though I guess if anyone has a laptop you could login on Steam and download it that way?

Basically portability, probably.

If you have it already in a config that suits you? No.

If you're planning on having portable Jackbox? Sure.

Apparently the Lego City Switch port is really good and not that far behind the PS4 one. I always had a soft spot for that lovely Lego Island PC game so maybe it'll scratch that same itch.

Unless the port works differently you will need to keep the Switch connected to the internet for Jackbox so it's not as portable as it seems.

Did anyone here get Has-Been Heroes? A lot of GameStop plantspeople on Reddit are saying it's actually pretty good, and that it just got shafted in a lot of reviews because a.) pre-tuning patch and b.) they suck/disnt spend enough time learning the game. I keep dwelling over it since Isaac has made me realize I think I love the poo poo out of roguelikes.

I moved on to playing the bottom right characters in a 1v3 match, which I can win about 60% of the time. Still having trouble beating a hard character 1 on 1 with me on Tetris and them on Puyo, though.

Most Switch users probably have smartphones, and most smartphone users probably have access to the internet that they can tether to their console.

I got it since at the switch launch EB were doing a preorder deal for it for $19aud. I'm terrible at that type of game and haven't beaten the first boss yet but it's pretty fun.

Although ffs can they make the text bigger in docked mode? It's almost impossible for me to read.

To be fair, I did get laser eye surgery a week before getting it :eyepop:

Text is still minuscule, though. Funnily enough it's fine in hand-held mode. Wonder why they made it so.
