I guess that's what Nintendo was hoping for making it portable, that potentially more than one person per family would buy it.

I hear Couples Splatoon is the new trend among millennials

I am away from my gaming PC and PS4 until the end of September, so until then the Switch has my undivided attention. Luckily there are a lot of great games on it already. A major title + a couple strong indies a month is a really good release schedule

I haven't had a Nintendo handheld since the original Game Boy. I am looking forward to being able to play Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Phoenix Wright, Layton, Picross...

Like the Game Boy I have spent over half the time with the Switch on a Tetris game

Splatoon and eventually Rocket League are gonna have to be digital so I can just pop in and play a few rounds whenever I want.

This is me with Puyo Puyo Tetris. The Zelda cart is living in my Switch but it takes thirty seconds before I pop some Puyo. I feel like if I had ARMS digitally I would play it more

With switching out carts, for me it's less about laziness and more the fear that every time I open the cartridge slot I'm going to snap that cover off

Probably because Ubisoft expected this console to just be for kids, and when it sold mostly to 30 somethings with disposable income it was too late to adjust.

They should have watched the Announcement Trailer

The part of the FGC that organizes tournaments likes 4. It's easier to deal with and looks better and normal people play it.

Melee on the other hand involves sourcing CRTs and dealing with the same four prima donnas who win all the tournaments and need defective GameCube controllers

Namco was really good at single-player stuff, not only Soul Calibur but Tekken Force was really involved as well.

Tekken 7 is basically, as mentioned, arcade matches with cutscenes in between

Any good toaster purchase stories?

I was using a pop-up toaster for the longest time but am considering switching to a toaster oven, they are so much more versatile and only take up a little more space on the counter

You can watch your bread brown over time in a toaster oven, that's added value.
