What worked, worked well. My young children still ask me to hook up the 360 for Kinect Party, and my guilty pleasure is looking like an idiot on Dance Central.

This attitude of gaming has forced me into a terrible pattern. Now, any game I play I can’t just run at the story. It’s like by default I go the wrong way just to make sure, no matter what. Like Rayman Legends’ first hidden trinket that’s to the left of the first start screen. I’ll start an epic RPG, see the…

Or from the wrong store! Like when I preordered FFXV only for there to be ten different bonus items I couldn’t get. Before playing the game, how would I know which stat bonus benefit or cool avatar item I’d prefer? What if I was so into it I wanted them all? Tough! Then locking A King’s Tale—a bonus game—there…

Will it run the dock? I found a charger that will energize the Switch but won’t do squat for the dock.

Adding to myself here, as a person who works with individuals with developmental disabilities, one of the saddest points I ever saw was a guy I worked with who nearly gave up on gaming because he physically couldn’t keep up with the controllers.

To each their own, but there is a point of catering to the masses versus the specific hardcore gamer.

You say “power plug”. Are we talking a full on AC outlet or the same USB setup that the NES classic had? I love that on the NES. Instead of reaching around in crud, I actually power my NES classic via the PS4 USB!

Excellent article, and really shows the passion put forth for the players. I know changing controllers can really stink. I was a passionate fan of SSX Tricky on PS2, but life caused me to lose that. All I could find was Tricky for Xbox, and the different analogs and physical buttons to push mess with my head.

I really want oldschool woodgrain. And no, not the Toast. As beautiful as that is, the JoyCon are just flat stickers; you still see everything around the edges. I want my Switch to remind me of an Atari 2600 with real JoyCon woodgrain casing.

Semi-close to the Hot Wheel without the hat. I’d take some of these designs as new Rocket League cars though. Imagine a tow truck, that slick pink Princess, or that spiky Bowser on the field!

Sometimes it’s the store and general laziness/apathy. Heck, earlier this year I was in a Walmart and Other M was still full price.

Somehow a small piece of dirt has gotten under my top shell of the 3DS. Not sure how, don’t care much, but it’s literally smack dab in the middle. Infuriating.

Reminds me of the story of the Bigfoot monster truck that had wheels so large they found out the truck would float. A race was put together between the truck and a paddle wheel boat. The truck could move decently spinning it’s tires. The boat won, the captain bragged his victory, and the driver said he’d gladly take…

Itchy. Tasty.

Sorry, it is a hair off topic, it was really more trying to show that Nintendo is being completely backwards. Putting the “security” in the phone is one thing, monitoring usage is another.

OK, can someone clarify something for me? With the 3DS series as the “prequel”, the last (chronological) game is The Last Specter, where I remember being near tears as the one lady we could ever call Layton’s “love of his life” disappears, forever. It’s like the one time Layton takes his hat off, and the sadness in…

The parental app is next to pointless. It doesn’t break down by user, meaning my playtime is mixed in. So if I buy Bob’s Bloodbath 2017 and play 20 hours one week and my son sneaks in an hour when I’m not looking, it melds with my time and I’m never the wiser. It’s only useful if there’s only one profile on the…

Opinion on the Zero? I’m thinking about it because it’s cheap and I really want a basic pad for my iPhone, cheap, and pocketable (I hear it fits in jeans watch pockets)

So if everyone’s so nitpicky where’s this in canon?
