The Switch hasn't even been out for a quarter of a year and people are already wanting a new version.
RIP switch.

Goons are obsessed with waiting for the revision that's definitely just around the corner.

The 3DS won't die anytime soon because there are still a lot of good games coming out for it and a loving enormous back catalog of good games

Sure new games might stop coming out in a year and a half or so, but hardware will still be produced for a while

No new games is the definition of a system being dead.

If the n2ds xl came out last year I would have gotten one for the game backlog, but it didn't and the switch is just plain better and gently caress taking two portables with me.

Etrian Odyssey 5 is still 3DS, right? That's enough reason for me to keep it around.

Also, Monster Hunter 5, since Capcom's aggressive silence about the matter makes me think it won't be on Switch. I suppose we might find out during E3.

The HD rumble feels great in it too

saying it again too: play with the joycon sticks and not the pro controller because the deadzone feels way better on those for this game

I was thinking about paying Sprint more money to turn my phone into a mobile wifi device so I can play online games wherever. Is this feasible, or would the connection just not be strong enough?

I've done this on Verizon with mixed results. I used a Pre/Pixi on 3G and could play Quake Live reasonably well, but when I moved we picked up a garbage 4G Android and the hotspot on it was awful. By turns the phone would randomly drop the connection either with the tower or the client computer. It also crashed abruptly any time we connected an iPhone via wifi.

For temporary on the go connections it might be passable though.

A modern LTE phone should have no issues tethering and playing. LTE speeds in my phone are currently double my FiOS fiber and the latency is comparable.

Now, on Sprint, that may be another question. That's because it's Sprint though.

Right. I am going to sell my collection of SNES/MegaDrive games to buy a Switch. I saw a video of Link encouraging a dog to run around in circles and now I've forgotten how to think about other things.

I did that first thing when I booted up the game then I tried both types of controllers while adjusting the deadzones for each and the joycons feel way better

You want hyper precise movements for the game and even with the same settings on both controllers there's still a larger deadzone on the Pro

I will never stop lollling at the reddit posts from like a week after launch about "when is the Switch Lite likely to come out?" or "this is the best console ever but it's too thick but also has too small a battery and screen and I don't like the joycons and hate the idea of docking".
