When you have a title like Triangle Strategy, why mess with perfection?

This looks great but for whatever reason my credit card never goes through on ali express... and for the appeal they want me to upload all sorts of documentation, not worth it, hopefully this makes its way to amazon eventually.

I’m not sure why that’s the one place that has them but it is probably the reason I seem to be the only person in North America who has a set. I would like someone else to get them so I don’t feel like a crazy person telling people how good they are.

You can actually still get gyro controls but the game has to correctly support the handheld gyro configuration, rather than just using the joycon gyros all the time (the Switch unit itself has a gyro sensor).
Can you explain this to, say, Game Freak?

This is the one I got and it's pretty good. Note that one slot is dedicated to microsd storage though.

That's true, but the last BotW update predates the availability of the Split Pad Pro.

Meanwhile there's an Arceus themed Split Pad Pro now, too bad the game doesn't play well with it.

It's not, it's a Game Card-sized insert that can hold two microsd cards. But you can remove it or swap it around or whatever.

Pokemon Legends has been a lot of fun for me, but I love Pokeomn so I'm not really a non-biased critic here. Like, the whole game is look for Pokemon and then catch the Pokemon so if you don't get excited by the idea of finding Pokemon out in the wild then this game really has nothing for you.

Some ideas for minor improvements:

*Several of the quests end with NPCs adopting a Pokemon and then you can just sort of see them hanging out with that NPC for the rest of the game. It would be cool if you could do more of that, and also maybe choose which Pokemon to give the NPC or maybe have your Pokemon out doing jobs around the town. Like, you want a village full of Goomys? Well you can give everyone in town a goomy and then the goomys are just chilling all over the village being cute and that would be fun to see.

*Room decorations. Whenever a game gives you a space that's designated "yours" I really appreciate being able to customize it and sadly legends doesn't let you do that. I'm not very far into the game, so maybe you get some cool stuff later, but so far the only bonus item for the room I've found is the Pokeshi Doll that gets added to your window ledge after a specific quest (and the game doesn't tell you this is going to happen so it's partly an Easter egg if you even notice it).

* more Pokemon Snap style fun animations. As fun as it is to see Pokemon walking around it would even more fun to see them doing more stuff. Maybe they could eat berried off trees, or fight each other, just a few extra actions would go a long way to making the world feel more lived in.

*An abandoned town map full of ghosts and all the creepy Pokemon. This one is just for me, I like spooky stuff and a whole big spooky map would be so delightful. Think the abandoned Thrifty Megamart in Sun and Moon, but it's a whole map with multiple villages.

Just wanted to say that the slow-mo feature on the race highlight reels in Mario Kart 8 is super satisfying and always makes things more dramatic no matter what is going on.

It doesn't, but it does run at a rock solid 30 and have a bunch of QoL stuff like widescreen and saving your notes if you die/leave the level. It's super cool that it came to NSO but really, if you have access to the Xbox version you should play it there, and I can only imagine that the performance disparity will get worse if/when Tooie drops.

It's probably a much better version overall, but as I expressed earlier the missing dialogue skip is a bummer.

Yep, it's a great feature. There's a reason videos like this became so popular years ago when the game first came out:

I mean they did release a ton of DLC for it. On the Wii U in 2014 when it originally released lol. That's why the switch version is called the Deluxe edition.
