Does the playtime counter keep counting if you leave a game running but put the Switch to sleep? I have an embarrassing amount of hours in Splatoon 2 but it seems a little high even for me

I have BOTW on my Wii U. I should probably get around to finishing it some day.

Is MK8D worth it if I played it a ton on WiiU and got all the dlc?

It has some quality of life improvements but it's really down to whether or not you want to play more MK8

To be fair, insisting on releasing games for obsolete hardware is like Atlus's whole M.O.

It's basically a miracle that Switch is getting that new mainline SMT, instead of 3DS.

3DS and Vita games are much cheaper to produce than a game with HD assets.

Yes. There's a few QOL improvements that make the game better, battle mode is cool and the game looks really nice at 1080p.

The Switch should be able to play 3DS and WiiU games imho. Major fail on Nintendo's part.

I've noticed the gbs thread on this topic has pretty much sputtered to a stop cause whatever nerd talking points they had didn't hold up to units being moved. Yeah voice chat is dumb everyone knows it no one cares really.

Anyone who gives a poo poo about how well a product they don't want does has too much time in their hands. I don't spend any time pondering how well Apple or Xbox products are doing. If your friend is even giving a poo poo ask them why they have nothing better to do then think about things they don't like.

Nintendo is doomed and has been for years. However, just like with the bee and flight, Nintendo doesn't know it's doomed and continues to be amazing instead.

Same. As much as I love Splatoon, playing it 6 hours a day doesn't feel like the best use of my time.

Some might say that playing video games 6 hours a day isn't the best use of anyone's time, but that's not something you hear in these forums. :v:

BTW, I'm looking for a good quality pouch for the Switch that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?

I really hope Sonic Mania is a midnight release. It'll kill me if the eShop dates in the middle of the day since Switch won't connect to my work's wifi.

No local Stardew Valley coop is a huge blow. I was really looking forward to farming with my wife. I guess we have Minecraft. Still though...
