They should have just had Hamster work on that Pac-Man collection, considering they do a very good job of porting arcade games and they've already done a collection for Konami and Taito. Plus Hamster already put out Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man and Pac-Land on Arcade Archives

I'm such a garbage human. I need to go back and play this, I bought it and played an area or two and honestly had a great time. I'm a huge metroidvania nut!

Got distracted. Haven't touched it since, but I could tell it's a great game just from the hour or two I put in. I really really need to finish it

But I've also really really needed to finish like 20 3DS games for over 10 years now. Actually Xenoblade 1 has been in the backlog since the Wii days, totally worth making time for it and enjoying it instead of just trying to cram it in between releases back then

Try SA-Mart. In general, selling things individually works best. That way, potential buyers aren’t trying to figure out if the bundle is worth it. Depends on just how many games and how desirable they are of course.

I've had good luck on SAMart saying something like, "here are games, the prices include US shipping. If you want multiple games, make me an offer and knock a few bucks off for shipping the extras."

Usually someone will buy three $20s for $55 and I end up with $45-50 in my pocket once it's shipped and PayPal gets its cut.

Welcome aboard! The switch has too many games. I'm afraid you have just generated an enormous backlog for yourself.

The games mentioned already are all great picks. If you like tactics/strategy, may I recommend Into the Breach. Very addictive game full of "aha!" moments as you work with limited moves/resources.

Another must-buy strategy game is Mario + Rabbids, which is Mario Xcom. Way better than you're probably thinking it is. While it is easily worth full price, I would advise putting it on your wish list. It goes on deep sale fairly frequently. On that note, dekudeals.com is the go-to site for tracking deals.

I hear Triangle Strategy is a good strategy game too but I haven't played it. It has a demo so I'll check it out sooner or later...

Triangle strategy takes a while to get going but it's worth getting past the opening hours. Best strategy game on the switch.

Can't go wrong with Metroid Dread. Or if you want something more 3d platformery there's a number of Mario games, Mario Odyssey, Mario 3D World, and the Mario 3D collection is also there. Breath of the Wild is also a must play. Not sure if this is helpful, haha, but really any Nintendo games are worth playing if you're looking for a place to start.

Your library has an amazing collection. Try Hollow Knight if you haven’t already. Tons of good ones though, and here are a few highlights if you ask me: DOOM, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and Bayonetta 2.

Sorry I meant Metroid Dread. I own New SMB, BOTW and Kirby Allstars, for my kids but I need a game to play for a few minutes each day. Dread was perfect. I beat it in three weeks, only took 8-9 hours. Maybe I'll pick up super Mario 3d world + Bowser's fury. I just want a free game to fiddle with a bit each night before I sleep. I hate paying $60 for a game that I may get 10-15 hours from, so the library is perfect.

Fun fact: in Japan the game was titled Fighting Caveman 2: The Adventure of Rikki, indicating it as a sequel to Joe & Mac: Fighting Caveman . When they released what we call Joe & Mac 2 in Japan, they called it "Fighting Caveman 3: The Protagonists are Joe & Mac Again"

Had a problem with my 2fa where I had to reset my Google authenticator and Nintendo login system did not like that. I had to email customer support to get 2fa taken off and I only managed it because I was able to get my Nintendo ID off of my 3ds. I'm not sure I'll put 2fa back on, as this felt like a close call.

jackhunter64 posted:

It's definitely not helpful to hear after the fact, but almost every story I've heard of 2FA trouble has involved Google's effort. I use the built-in iOS one now but Authy is also a reliable cross-platform alternative. Life is too precious to risk using software made by an advertising company.

eightysixed posted:

Yeah, like others have stated, the problem is the Google Authenticator app. I learned this the hard way, too, and is precisely the reason I use 1Password.

Twelve by Pies posted:

If I get my Nintendo account back, assuming the Switch/dock has the serial number in a readable state, the absolute first loving thing I'm going to do after changing my email on it is turn off 2FA. I wouldn't be in this situation if I hadn't had it on.

ExcessBLarg! posted:

I don't know that there's anything inherently wrong with Google Authenticator. It basically turns your phone into an RSA token and yeah, if you lose your phone you're screwed. The problem with is probably more fundamental in that people nowadays expect cloud backups to protect them against lost (or upgraded) phones. I'm sure Authy is also great, but cloud backups of your TOTP seeds (even if encrypted) is strictly a weaker security model.

Personally I think any service that takes your money should support SMS-based 2FA since if you lose your phone you can recover your SMS service with an appropriate level of effort.
The Problem is that for every loving other thing Google does or makes it's all "hey don't worry it's in the cloud so you'll never lose it" and then with Google Authenticator they go "oh whoops haha you're hosed there's no cloud no backups and actually no way to backup or transfer your tokens at all". It's a problem 100% created by it being a Google product and the expectations that come with it. Imagine if you lost all your Google Docs or GMails every time you switched phones.

Here's a 9 month old fairly exhaustive video that covers 2 Factor (2FA) and TOTP security very much in depth and why various authenticators work (or don't work) the way they do:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXSyxm9jmmo

IIRC regarding the authenticators his main points are (these may be outdated now)

-Google Authenticator is bad because no way to transfer tokens (or no way that actually works?) so they're stuck on your old phone forever

-Authy is bad because they only offer transfer to other Authy products and basically they keep all your tokens secret and once you get them into the Authy ecosystem you can't get them out

-Microsoft Authenticator is strangely the most generous one because it offers free transfer and backup of your tokens? This might have been from another video I'll try to find it.

He also talks about SMS 2FA and IIRC the big thing that has made it so strongly discouraged in recent years is that bad actors have gotten really good at breaking it including SMS spoofing and such so it's just incredibly insecure now.
