They haven’t seen any Harry Potter movies so it’s definitely new to them too. I do think the voice acting and dialog versus reading text for conversations is really well done. Regarding combat, I think there is a ton of potential in the combat system for the next game they make. I love the d-directional micro to switch spell sets mid combat to do different attack styles is really cool and the battle arena areas are really fun. I like the one giant boss with mobs flow where you are focusing down an ogre while doing perfect dodge and deflection against all the random unseen attacks. As for the lack of quidditch, it’s a slight bummer sure, but the broom flying, courses, and upgrade missions are still enjoyable. BABYDAGGER IS SEVEN YEARS OLD?!?! Time is a bitch.

Am considering getting one of them to catch up on the backlog of games since I gave my original switch away. I'm pretty sure. They have like 100+ million switch users out there, I don't think they'd want to alienate those people, especially with how Nintendo is putting more care on digital libraries now. I'd be shocked if it wasn't backwards compatible. | ||

Its hilarious seeing the AAA industry go down in a ball of government subsidized flames. I went to a Barcade//Arcade last night packed with people aged 14 to 60. Games were from 1977 to 1999. It was an absolute blast. I got 7th highest Nintendo Punch Out Score. I beat Mr. Sandman and defended the title once for the 7th highest score! They keep the machines on so the high scores stay up! Half the place was Nintendo games. Punch Out, DK, DK Jr., Mario Brothers. Not SUPER... just regular Mario Bros. When is the government going to subsidize local businesses running this arcade//barcade rather than giving international mega corps billions in money that disappears to California or France? | ||

Love the bind/echo/reverse bind stuff. Not a big fan of smoothies and outfits and such, but we'll take it. Looking forward to it! Shame it launches so close to Satisfactory 1.0. | ||

Looks like Switch sales are finally slowing down. A key difference between the other long running great consoles is their prices fell a tonne. The Switch price remained the same with the OLED being more expensive. 1983 Nintendo Fact Nintendo corporate favoured a new arcade game that required 2 CRT screens because their were so many spare screens available due to the decline of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior. Then 'Punch Out' requiring 2 CRTs was born. | ||

So guys.. fuck diamonds, gold and other precious metals. Buy a few thousands Nintendo Switches, stick them in a strong box and bury it under your swimming pool. | ||

Here is a great comparison between the Steamdeck and the Switch. I use the gyro controls for precision aiming a lot more than the guys in this video. EDIT: PC version is 120GB. Switch version is 30GB. 😎 | ||

Nintendo World Champions: NES Edition came in at No.17 and was the only Nintendo title in the Top 20, though it ranked at No.1 on Switch. GameStop will be converting some of their stores to Retro Gaming. | ||
