Been hanging out with a new born in the hospital and playing Switch. I can't recommend a gooseneck tablet holder enough, I've been able to hold her and play

Verdict is still out on if she's a good luck charm in Enter the Gungeon or not

Nintendo got a new patent that really is two Switches stuck together. Or maybe a DS2?

Nintendo did this for the "NX" too, and those early designs were atrocious. I think this is one of those patents done just so nobody tries to make something similar.

Twice the switch, twice the power, twice the price.

I found Xenoblade 3 to be a great floored-with-COVID game, as the character interactions are very comforting and you can turn on as much autobattle as you want / need when pressin' buttons is too tall an order.

A handheld DS when open, a remote docked DS when closed, your TV is the upper/touchless screen. Tempting for someone to try that. I'm sure we'll see leaks* of something looking exactly like that patent soon.


*3D models purported as leaks, remember the oval Switch with sticks right in the screen?

A Switch DS that you can detach and dock the top screen sounds pretty dope when you put it that way. And on brand for Nintendo.

the DS/3DS back catalog is such a rich library, the temptation for finding a way to leverage those is probably pretty overwhelming even if a 2 screen approach would be pretty useless for new games

Sign me up for a Switch DS

A Switch that's twice as big and has a folding screen like new phones do.

The Switch's final form is going to be like Soundwave from Transformers, except with game cartridges instead of robot cassettes.

Switch 2 will just be Switch 1 with a watch component that sends you notifications when you forget that you bought but never used Ring Fit Adventure.

After WiiU the only thing anyone could imagine was deranged and were willing to believe anything.

Now people just really want a switch but more and believe the most boring and safe route

People really want it be called Switch “2” which is the most boring name they can go with. Imaginations are DEAD and spirits are crushed. Sad to see, hopefully Nintendo calls it the Switchity Swootch or something

They should call it the SWintch, to emphasize how the console will be Win.

I've said it before, but "Sw2tch", or "Switootch" is my favourite.

Cult of the Lamb is the game that proved to me that even the best presentation out there isnt enough. It was WEIRDLY shallow and I still find it extremely offputting that it never clicked ever. I wouldnt be able to tell you what is that games problem, and why it doesnt work, but I do know I absolutely got hustled by the dudes in marketing. 😬

I kind of don’t hate the name Super Nintendo Switch.
Then supernintendouser93 doesn’t have to do that much of a name change. Supernintendouser24?

Never played Metal Gear Solid (well, maybe for minutes here and there), but it's a series I've always wanted to play. Seemed cool.

Would I be making a mistake if I jumped into Snake Eater first? Or is this something where I need to start from the original MGS?

Edit: Or are these bad ports and I shouldn't bother with them?

i think you should probably just play release order

Yeah definitely play in release order, or watch a LP of the first two first.

:yeah:

Snake Eater takes place before MGS1, but it's also several years newer and more modern, so you might have trouble going back to 1 if you play 3 first.

New players should play release order. Longtime fans (or anyone playing any of them for the second time) could easily do chronological order.

Yeah MGS3 being a prequel at the same time kinda requires or benefits from knowledge of all the stuff that came out before it. I say release order.
