This whole year they had one Nintendo major release per month on the switch so I wouldn't be surprised if they have some year end direct about 2018's plans. But even if you buy a Switch right now it has more interesting exclusives than 3 years of PS4 library

New mario bros world record, it's down to such a science now that it has to be measured in hundredths of a second, soon to be thousandths

It seemed like he kinda started the game arbitrarily with respect to his timer, what was up with that?

The timer hits 0 when gameplay starts.

edit: but the timer doesn't really matter much, he has to go back and re-time it manually after the fact, which is why it's a little different in the video than the actual record.

I just got a new dongle for my Steam controller so now I can go back to endlessly loving with controller configurations instead of playing games :unsmith:

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Maybe you can strike out any game available on the PS4 and another console or the PC and wind up with a short list of Bloodborne, Knack, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. But if you have no other console or a gaming computer then buying a Switch is an incredibly limiting decision. You can’t really put Zelda and Splatoon 2 up against the library of games available in the PS4 and seriously think Nintendo comes out on top. The Switch is a great supplement to another system. Which has pretty much been Nintendo’s MO for the last few generations.

Zelda isn't even a Switch exclusive so it's pretty much Spla2oon, Snipperclips and I guess Arms

Seriously though, the Switch has had an incredibly strong first year but obviously the PS4 is going to have a better library, unless you have some really specific tastes (or a pc I guess).

Because I was playing an original game and wanted to see if the battery life was better to take with me.
