when Smash Bros Wii U came out, I was waiting outside the store and was bullshitting with one other guy waiting. He told me to buy the Wii Fit Trainer and the Animal Crossing kid amiibos. I knew nothing about that stuff but I figured 10 bux each it's worth a shot. I got $150 for both of them on ebay.

While there I also picked up the Wii U to Gamecube controller adapter for $20. When I went to a friend's house that day, we used the one he bought, so mine was still new. Like a day later I saw they were going for $110 on eBay lol. I sold it and just waited for them to be back in stock (I had no idea they were going to be "rare" for a while).

So long story short I made $220 in profit just because I went to the store to get Smash Bros

I bet the Switch Pro controllers end up going for big money for a month or two.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Will you be able to buy Switches as separate parts?

You only want the core portable unit? That''ll be $100 less than the unit with a base.
You need a spare base you can plug into a different TV without unhooking/moving it all the time? That'll be $150 on its own.
Etc.

It's really strange how Sony got PSN right on the PSP back in like 2006 and Nintendo is still struggling to have a functional account structure over a decade later. I get that Nintendo has always been ambivalent over online play and such, but it seems like self-sabotage at this point and much less sheer incompetence. Nintendo could have cloned XBL/PSN ages ago, if they chose to, but they just don't care.

The silliest part is specific games like Pokemon, Smash Bros, Splatoon, etc have intuitive, and in some cases, very unique online features, but Nintendo has zero coherent, unified vision in their online account system. They're just really stubborn.

sending game invites to friends has to be done through a phone/tablet app lol

but it would be cool if a real console like playstation launched with phone app interactivity in mind. like there was a metal gear solid app for ground zeroes that showed your map at all times. do that, but 1 app for the console designed to provide extra interactivity/info features for every game that wants to support it

just your game is playing: theres a mini-map in the corner. open up your PS4 connect app and your mini-map jumps to your tablet. tilt it from portrait to landscape orientation and your inventory is next to it. drag dildo to your characters hand to equip
no ridiculous controller required in a world where every prospective customer already has a smart phone. unless you buy the dildo accessory

Last I heard, the app isn't even going to be ready by launch.

I think when docked it overclocks the system (so it can handle 1080p) so maybe there's a fan in there too?

Also these things cost $60: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Delivery-Charging-Specification-ChromeBook/dp/B018XF4KRC

Still a bit of a rip though.

No virtual console at launch. Just lol. This thing is going to have the same quality of VC support as the Wii U, which is to say, piss poor. This probably means that they will also still have the awful system of your digital purchases being tied to your console rather than your account.
