Reminder that if you buy movies digitally most distribution / stores all play with the Movies Anywhere ecosystem where you can link all your accounts and have all the movies (regardless of where you bought them) available everywhere. Some films have restrictions but in general they all play along.

YouTube is one of those services so once linked you can play movies on the Switch.

Red, Blue, and Green (the girl trainer) appear as separate characters from the player and rival. They're still set in Kanto so the gym leaders are the same but there are some differences.

It's more specifically a remake of Pokémon Yellow, with the anime Team Rocket showing up and special mechanics for your starter.

Blizzard were previously rather dubious to a Switch version of Overwatch, but opinions have changed lately. The question is: Has it changed enough?

Paladins at least has proved it's doable, but how Blizzard is going to fit a game the size of around 25 GB into a Nintendo Switch is another question entirely.

Isn't overwatch only 13-15 GB?

Playing Diablo 3 on my Nintendo console, and that's a statement I don't think I'd ever make.

Game is a fuuuuuuuuuuuuckload of fun. Playing as a Necromancer and just using corpses to spike enemies one after another is just the most :allears: thing.
I can play D3 in bed as well. It's great :allears:

Not sure how the 'Gift for [Person on your Friend List]' works. Assuming I can only hand those out to people who have Diablo.

I bought forgotton Anne And, although I'm just one hour In, I'm extremely into it. What a gorgeous game. I recommend everyone to go and check it out since indie games with this level of effort deserve some attention. I think it got lost on steam, but the switch is still not as saturated with games coming out, so I'm hoping they see some sales.

The game size is irrelevant. Even if overwatch was 100gb, you ship a cart with whatever chunk of the game will fit on the cart, and users download the rest. Plenty of games do it. Size is the last reason to not port overwatch.

I'm to the point I can solo Torment 1 at around Paragon 60, but the 4th level of season rewards wants me to kill some bosses in Torment 4.

Will I eventually gear up to that, or does the game expect me to group for it? I don't think it's a git gud issue, I just wasn't presenting the DPS to actually kill blues.

Run a few rifts and the gear you'll get will give you enough power to run T4. It isn't THAT big of a jump. Of if you get a few set pieces that give a skill 1000% damage or something you'll be good too.

I don't think so. GameStop typically includes their exclusivity stuff in the title of the product on their website, like this one here but Katamari doesn't seem to have that.

Just a heads up to those getting D3 on Switch, there is also a D3-console thread in the Blizzard subforum: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3797718&pagenumber=18&perpage=40#post489748302 and i'm shamelessly linking to my most recent post, which has a collection of friend codes from the previous pages in that same thread if you're looking for some goon rifts or friends to murder demons with.

I just quick match campaign on the hardest difficulty and I usually find someone. Is there a goon add thread here? I'd love to play some diablo with goons. Necromancer with the corpse lance is hilarious.

also, are my skeleton friends supposed to die? I feel like they should but they don't. not complaining but they are hilariously OP

Yes! See my above post & in the d3 console thread, got quite a few of us listed there recently. The skeletons apparently never take damage in my experience, unless you use the explosion rune. Mages are basically ignored and allowed to be orbital bombers by the enemy, and golems are just.. useful for their rune ability it seems so far...? +8 corpses and +1 every second (thanks legendary gloves I found) is such a good corpse lance combo.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

Personally I'm not that into Smash as some of the other people. I got Smash for Wii U, and... well, it's not for me. Granted, Smash Bros is uniquely grandiose in terms of video game geekdom, but I wasn't a hardcore Nintendo kid back in the day, so the roster leaves me kinda cold.

Katamari Damacy on the other hand is cool. :whatup:
