Struck out at my Walmart for Diablo 3. There weren't any copies left so maybe other people caught wind of the sale. Can't confirm if the price is still live or not.

The glitch is still working as of a few hours ago according to reddit

My walmarts were out of Diablo, but I did get DOOM for 12

Holy moly, I can't play in handheld mode for more than like 45 minutes without hand cramps and thought I was the only one. Never knew this existed but it seems VERY intriguing....
I've got a whole host of issues with my hands and this minimizes them so well, I couldn't see myself without it. I'm thinking of getting their joycon minigrip as well. I would recommend getting the case that's made for it, it's pretty much the best on the market as well.

Couple of quick Joycon questions:

1) Is there a good Joycon grip that can also fit in the dock?
2) If not, what's the consensus on the best Joycon grip?

My hands (especially my left one) fall asleep after like 20 minutes playing in portable.
1. Not to my knowledge
2.Look at the satisfye minigrip.

Their quality is really unmatched.

They just started shipping.

If you don't have either Diablo or Doom, and the Walmart glitch is still active, run out and get either/both right now.

I've been playing Diablo all day and I don't know where this has been all my life.

Yo canada goons - Best Buy has some Switch games on 50% off for Black Friday. Mostly nothing crazy but I did order Dragon Ball Fighterz at half price.

Also some of the first party games $30 bucks off - Kirby Star Allies, Mario Tennis and DK Tropical Freeze (sold out online somehow).

But neither Sonic 3 nor Sonic 3 & Knuckles. :(

Hot take: Sonic 3 is kind of bullshit :ssh: Seriously, I loved it for years, and last year, I took a serious run through for the first time in a while, and wow, does that game continually stop you from doing fun stuff and going fast. Anything after Angel Island (Hydro City isn't too bad, except Sonic plus water has never been actually good) is complete and total bullshit.

I went from a huge fan to thinking that it's worse than Sonic 1.

If I buy the physical version of a Switch game, does anything get installed on the system memory?

It is actually super good and even better with Sonic & Knuckles combined. But since someone found the same bassline of Ice Cap Zone's music in an 80's song by one of Michael Jackson's producers I guess there's been some licensing issues.

I've never really clicked with any of the Sonic games. I get why people like them, but I didn't really grow up with them aside from the Game Gear Sonic 2 and that probably colored my view of them but I can't even play Sonic Mania for more than a couple minutes before I just get frustrated by it. They're just not fun games to me.

I did really enjoy Freedom Planet though :shrug:

Apparently Walmart put the discounts in its computers accidentally, so if you buy it in-store, it rings up way cheaper than the list price.

It's real nice Diablo seems to keep as much in memory as it can as there are so few loading screens after the he initial one.

I just got a Switch, and god drat is this system awesome. Played high-def Zelda on the couch while the wife watched TV. Incredible.

I'm just overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to play on this thing, though. Got Hollow Knight because I've heard great things, but I know I want Stardew, Mario Odyssey, probably Diablo 3, Smash Bros. coming up...holy poo poo, don't know how to get through it all.

If ya like jrp poo poo check out octopath and valkyria chronicles og/4 <<the latter on deep discount rn.

Zelda notwithstanding, the system is kinda lacking on some solid open world type games however.

Enjoy the "nearly perfect" console though.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
So I’ve been looking into the PowerA wireless GameCube controller and the store page mentions AA batteries. Is it not rechargeable?

Is this the big official wireless one I should be looking at?

Is the wireless Gamecube controller out yet?

Has anybody tried it? How does it play? How's the d-pad?

It feels good but I haven't used it for any games yet. The D-pad is decent enough with an added bonus of being bigger than an actual (useless) GameCube D-pad. It's not rechargeable though and doesn't support Rumble or NFC, but it does have gyro. Quality is pretty drat good.

yeah it’s a little annoyingly long entering and leaving games but it’s super made up for by how you can warp anywhere in the game almost instantly.

I wonder why they don’t let you increase the difficulty in season mode , which would slightly decrease the need to remake games.

So the wired one is better then because gently caress buying batteries.

Anything that’s certified by Nintendo. The Switch is very picky about USB-C outputs so you don’t want to risk frying it.

My understanding is that for portable undocked charging, just don’t use anything you wouldn’t plug your phone into.

I use an Anker PowerCore battery and an Amazon Basics cable. Works great.
