Man, the frame rate issue in LA is really bad, why the hell would they have it jump between 35 and 60 constantly I have no idea.

You couldn't catch faries in bottles in classic Link's Awakening, instead Crazy Tracy would rub you with 'secret medicine' which gave you a full heal the first time you croaked. So I guess faries are now red potions and secret medicine is now... Faries?

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

Unless I'm doing something wrong in Link's Awakening, I just shot 30 arrows into the Armos Knight in the Southern Shrine and did no damage at all to it, I was hitting it from all angles and it didn't take any damage, I think its hitbox is a bit too small or something.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Ori being probably one of my favorite platformers ever, I downloaded the demo to see how it runs.

Both portable and dock run flawlessly. I'm sure the demo doesn't get to the Ginso Tree escape so I don't know how it is with more intense stuff going on, but so far it runs full 60 fps and it feels great. It even has achievements built in!

I can't tell from the small screen if the FPS drops in handheld mode, but it still feels as good to play as it is docked. So they did a good job of porting this over. The few times that loading screens happen though are LONG compared to PC, but you should not be getting into a situation where you encounter a loading screen very often. I only got a long loading screen on the initial start up and going from the first cutscene to the playable part. Loading from a death to a save point is as fast as it normally is.

Is there a way to set time limits per profile, for sharing a Switch with kids?

There's a Parental Control app, though I've never messed much with it. If you can do it, it's most likely in there.

As in, an app for your phone that you link to your account.

It does. It's not as good as the red box Switch, but it's still better than the original model.

Anyone get Puzzle Quest? How is it compared to the original?

Didn't see if anyone responded to you yet, but I grabbed it and played a few hours of it last night, here is what I noticed:

  • Port of the XBLA version, not original DS.
  • If you haven't played that version, quite a bit changed with balance and spells.
  • Cool downs have been added, so crazy turn one wombo combos don't work anymore.
  • Music and graphics are passable, but were never great.
  • Performance is rear end, like surprisingly bad, but not a deal breaker.
  • Includes expansion and new content. 13 classes, tons of new quests, items and spells.

It's got a load of content for $15. Aside from performance being questionable and UI being a bit laggy on the map, it is still dope as hell.

Hope more people start playing so I am not just nerding out by myself.

Also, buying Link's Awakening for the third time is giving me flashbacks to middle school and trying to decide if it was worth buying LA DX because I had already played it several times. Ultimately the printer functionality and the color dungeon swayed me.
