My Nintendo rewards are almost never useful. They listened to the complaints about Club Nintendo rewards not being good and made a worse reward program.

Mario Kart 8 gave me that same sensation zelda did, where it feels almost impossible to have such a good looking game on a handheld.

MK8's lighting is insanely good and I still think its one of the best looking games ever made. When MK8 first came out my jaw literally hit the floor and I couldn't stop going ga-ga for how good the rendering is. Most people seemed to not even notice :smith:

Like seriously I'll take MK8 over Forza any day. It looks so loving good.

Mario's mustache has self-shadowing on his face. You just don't see poo poo like that on consoles! Much less handhelds!!!!

Goons, been following the thread since DAY ONE, REPRESENT, and I have a lot of travel ahead of me and I'm ready to take this thing around with me.

I have the amFilm tempered glass, a very large microsd card and obviously all the stuff that comes with Switch, but what are all my essentials I should buy?

What's my best case? What's all my essentials I should look to buy as a newer Switch owner?

Would love some recommendations and good quality of life purchases for my Switch.

I have this case and it's done the job well enough. https://www.amazon.com/Industries-N...rds=switch+case

It's not big enough to hold the ac adaptor, so if you don't want to just toss that in a backpack go for a bigger case.

Oh, that won't happen. They shat out an exclusive Zelda Picross game with like 45 puzzles and a quick port of WarioWare Touched (which is, admittedly, the second best one so I'm not complaining) and it's been nothing but wallpapers since.

E: someone please quote the jivjov post where he defended the wallpapers

Go back in time to get Zelda special edition for the sheikah slate case then hang up the map on your wall framed.

Honestly you basically already got the essentials although a good set of headphones is a must.

It should be significantly less. Those services give you multiple free games every month (that were made within the last decade and don't go away at the end of the month) and let you do voice chat through the console instead of on your cell phone.

Yeah the cell phone app thing is lame.

And doesn't it say that the nintendo service is going to include free games too? That could be great or weak depending.

The announced free game program for Nintendo's service right now is 1 free NES or SNES game (some with online support) that you can't access after the month is over. That is weak compared to what Sony or Microsoft offer. Let's hope they at least let you play the temporary game without having to have internet access. I thought Mario Run was a cool phone game until I realized you can't play it on a plane*. (*unless you pay for wifi on the plane.)

There have been rumors on the Japanese price and if the US price is similar, it should be about 18-26 dollars a year.

To be honest we don't really know anything about how the service is going to function or how the free games are going to function everything's been super vague. The lead up to Splatoon 2, since the devs are the only ones to mention working with the phone app, is probably when we'll get any information on it

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

The best part about mk8 is with autoacceleration and stearing my 4 year old finishes tracks about 30 seconds after my 7 year old and me.

In previous games she would be on lap 2 at most.

The entire time I was in second the boxes took forever to spin down and every item. Every. Single. One. Was a boost shroom and I could do nothing but play catch up the entire round :smith:

Nope! Can't be found in Houston anywhere.

They call it the Switch because it fails and they switch off the production line.
