Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.

I drove up to work for the day and opted not to bring my Switch. I was regretting it so I just went home for lunch and got baked with Link and my cat.

I'm gonna try to hold out and wait for a cheaper used copy of MK8 since I played it a ton on WiiU, but I have a feeling I'm going to see the inevitably sensational reviews and cave in by like May 2nd.

You'll pay like 5 bucks less in a year my dude.

You can maybe swap your Wii U game for a buck and get it cheaper that way, or you can wait for the $40 Switch Selects release in like two years maybe

Nintendo's got zero reason to give away MK8 for cheap, that game's bound to have a 60% attach rate for the next year or something like that

If they released a SNES Mini and it was $100 or even $119.99 there would be just as zero left on the shelves as the NES one.

If you hit a launchpad, boost while you are in the air. Get better at leaning. Try Hero mode or Time Attack to learn the courses.

Hero mode is a good way to figure out what turns are loving you up.

I'm just trying to get maximum efficiency out of my money like that guy who wanted to sell his Switch then buy it again in a few months. I was out of town last weekend so I sold all of my furniture. I'm not just going to let that poo poo depreciate on me.

In other news, y'all should buy some Nintendo stock before their next earnings report on the 26th. We all can see the Switch will be a financial hit.

There was no Club Nintendo in Sweden so I signed up in the UK eshop which hosed me over big time when the Pound gained in value. Thankfully, Brexit solved that problem

They will overproduce the SNES mini and it will languish on shelves like the animal crossing Amiibo. Then as a result they will underproduce the N64 mini and no one will be able to get one.

I bought Kamiko off the Japanese eshop. It has 3 characters with different fighting styles and lets you have separate progress saving for each character. The gameplay is fairly basic and coupled with decent music and spritework, it's decent for $5.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
I noticed that the eshop page for each game says what modes it supports. I know Voez can only be played with the touch screen, but I didn't know if they had gotten some special exception from Nintendo on that. So I guess there's no reason to think Nintendo won't have certain games like Mario Maker just because you can't do certain things in certain modes. They could just have a pop up thing that says "If you switch to portable mode, you can use the touch screen to place pieces" or something like that.

That's interesting... I always thought that the touch screen thing needing to be replicated with a controller so that they could release a budget Switch 3 years from now without a tablet.
