I don't think the OP meant just for charging, but one of those mini-docks that has HDMI out as well. I don't think generic USB C docks work since Nintendo apparently has some sort of proprietary handshake, even though all the chips inside it are off the shelf ones you'd see in a generic USB C dock. Apparently Nyko is coming out with one, hopefully a lot of decent travel size ones come out as well. I'd love a dock/adapter that worked with my laptop as well.

Yeah I'm looking for a mini dock replacement, so at least charging and hdmi out.

Is Mario using the BotW engine? At the very least some of the UI elements seem to be shared.
Also that 60 FPS looks loving gorgeous.

Deemo is coming to the eShop next week, it's a rhythm game from the same developer as VOEZ and plays pretty much the same. $29.99, with 200 songs at launch with more to come via updates.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

Has anyone successfully been refunded for a game? I've had problems with corrupt save files on NBA2K18 and I want to make sure I am prepared with my call to get my ebucks back using an effective strategy with the representative. Some people have been saying online that despite such issues it's 50/50 to get a refund.

Sounds like the Switch version is going to include most (all?) the addon content. I picked this up on iOS a couple years ago and only played a little bit of it but it's a good game. Can't imagine playing this docked with a controller and not using the touchscreen though.

If it's anything like VOEZ, that won't be an option.

They’ll probably give you a refund if you’re adamant about the problem.

You unlock some amazing alternate title screens after completing all the original cups, I believe, so that’s something. Nothing beats those scenes from MK1 though.

I remember having that same feeling at some point (not "soulless" but more like "kinda weird there's no story or campaign or anything like that.") Then I just appreciated how to the point it all is. It's just a kart racing game, pick a mode, pick a dude or dudette, pick a kart, and GOGOGOGOGOGOGOG

I refunded minecraft thanks to poor performance in jungles(actually it sucked rear end), something being corrupt should warrant an easy refund.

I see both points. Though I do miss the harshness of the cutscene in 64 with the bobomb when you placed fourth or lower.

While the price point is a valid issue, if you're already a BOI addict in any way shape or form you're going to get your money's worth in hours of playtime :shrug:

Or if you don't mind physical you could probably just find a used copy. I'm seeing a couple half-price ones on ebay.

Also: I don't know if it's a mistake yet, but Axiom Verge is "coming soon" for $20 on the eshop vs. the $30-40 that was quoted for the physical edition, so it's possible that the Rime backlash made Nintendo walk back on it's goofy "physical and digital have to cost the same" + "our carts are super bespoke and expensive" combo requirements and some of the earlier releases may reflect that in the future.

I like it. From the moment you launch the game, all the tools and toys it has to offer are dumped straight into your lap. You can just... do exactly what you want and nothing gets in your way.
More games should take hints from this design philosophy. "Here's everything, pick out what you want and have fun."

Maybe a story mode in addition to that could add some flavor, but it would be the absolute first thing I'd put on the chopping block if development was in any way constrained and something had to go.
