Of course you would. This is what you will actually get.

Sunshine HD $60
Galaxy Collection $60
3D World Deluxe $60
New Super Mario All Stars (includes Wii and Wii U titles) $60

We're not getting in but an HD version of Mario 64DS would be another $60.

I would buy all of those.

What if I told you that you'd get better at arms the more you played, similar to every skill action and hobby ever

There's also a pretty helpful training mode in Arms.

I'm really bad at fighting games and really bad at ARMS and hated the global testpunch but still bought it and it's Fun. You should buy ARMS even if you're bad at videogames, like me.

ARMS is a good fighting game and I like it because there are no combos to memorize and the gameplay is simple and straightforward and the fun for me comes from getting better at those fundamentals and learning how to apply them best

I really don't like memorizing things

Hope that Nintendo has some kind of online saves backup in the works for the paid online service. Nintendo just sent me an email that my saves had to be wiped when I sent my Switch in.

I mean I only had like five or six hours into Zelda so I don't actually care, but I expect people lost a lot more :[

I could have sworn I read that they actually did have an special cloud service for repairs and people got their saves back. Was that a hoax?

I think it probably depends on what was wrong with your switch in the first place. Mine seemed fine but if they couldn't swap out the memory or recover the saves then boo hoo that's too bad for me I guess. It would be great if they could let us back up saves /before/ anything happens and I have to send it in :q:

I think currently they were swapping memory components internally on repair since they're just plug-in boards.

Can Nintendo just rejuvenate the New Super Mario Bros series by incorporating all of the elements from SMB2? It's the stepchild of Mario games.

Is ARMS one of those games where if you don't get it in the first week of release you're basically going to never win a match because everyone is going to be a hundred times better than you and you missed the honeymoon period where everyone was just learning?

It would work, but not charge at full speed.

That battery pack doesn't seem to output at anything higher than 5V, so you would fall into the "Good" category.

Are we entering the period when retro nostalgia means the hip style for indie games over the next few years will be blocky models and muddy, juddery textures? I always forget that people younger than me exist and their first console wasn't an NES.

That is 5V 2.4A, which qualifies it under "Good Enough**", and the ** points out that some of those chargers will send over 2A instead of 1.5A, which makes them "Good". However, considering that the Switch doesn't use any proprietary charging tech that I'm aware of, it could just be the result of an out-of-spec cable tricking the Switch into pulling 2A. If that's the case, be careful where you plug that cable into. Or it could be Power iQ throwing more power at the Switch than it requested, but I don't think that could be possible.

Is there a good drop proof rubber/silicone protector? Right now most of my games are stuff I'd prefer to play on the dock + tv, but I want a good protector that I can use while still playing it incase it drops off a table or off the side of my bed or something like that.
