The Obligatory Purchase

I get the pointlessness of the size of the dock and how it could be a brick with a plug on the end of it, but why do a lot of these docks brag about being able to see the screen? It’s off.

I wish they’d put out an ultimate edition or such. We love Monopoly Gamer, and we are missing two tokens (Rosalina and Tanooki Mario). They flew off the shelves.

...oh. I heard them talk about it in FFXV so much I downloaded it, and said “I’ll poke around on it one day.” Hm. Guess I won’t.

Back in the day, I’d say my primary console was an Atari, though my uncle gave me a Commodore 64. I was too young/broke/backwoods to know how to get more for it, so I lived with the cartridges/cassettes handed down to me on that one. I remember Blue Print, BC Racers, and the Ghostbusters game I never got anywhere on…

Mickey is probably the oldest LICENSED character around. That’ll make a huge difference in the statement. I think Disney had to push for law changes to keep it’s grips on Mickey. After so long the copyright is simply moot. Hercules/King Arthur (as discussed in another comment) are public domain; you can’t get in…

To be honest, they’ve screwed it up since then. I’ve loved some iterations, like The Next Tetris (PS1) that let you do combos to your opponent that made their board spin like crazy. But one big add is how you can keep moving your piece as long as you are rotating it. I’ve seen people climb towers by spinning their…

In that first-ever reveal for the Switch, they showed a car gooseneck that seemed designed for the Switch. Rather than pinch it, it slid into a slot. I still wonder where that is. I’m sure most of them are made to be gentle, but I want like a gooseneck with JoyCon rails on it.

I got one of these, but then I saw this:

Aye-yie-yie-yie!

I love my Vita, but I often think of the Switch as a “Vita done right.” Console quality graphics in a handheld machine. If they’d have set it up for proper TV output we’d be in the same boat, and a PSTV is a decent replacement for that. I love pocketing all my old favorite PS1 games.

If you weren’t a day one adopter, we got ours fixed from Nintendo Customer Support.

If you can handle it and didn’t get it on launch, that’s something that Nintendo fixed for me under the year warranty.

I get it, not for the diehards who have to have it perfect, but come on. A couple minutes of Tetris or such is a great novelty.

So, curious opinion. Will the loss of 2/3 of the “free” games translate to anything on the other end? I know people complain about free stuff, but will this cause a potential raise in quality, or are we simply looking at “there ain’t no more good ones for us to give you” levels here.

YES! This is the part that has driven me crazy. As far as I can remember, Unwound Future is the last (chronologically) game, wherein Layton actually says goodbye to the love of his life because of the strange time twist thing. It’s the first (and maybe last?) place he’s ever took off his hat, which is kind of a big…

This just makes me want to know how they are doing a light gun game proper on an HDTV, and what we can do to get that tech at home, maybe even a retr0-fit for classic light guns. I need this.

I love all these ideas, but our family fails in that we all love to game, so they’re in the living room, yet we have a spare TV to take the systems to in the back when the kids want to do something different. Or we take the machine to a friend’s home. So my cables have to be removable, making most of this even MORE…

Another topic/side note: I was in a mall in Columbia, Missouri, where the local Chinese strip mall place made Strawberry Chicken. It was actually really good. I recommend buying the two-entree with Orange, as the sweet and sour balance out each other to an enjoyable meal.

Born and raised Midwesterner here, not as exciting of a story from me, but I am amazed at the tweaks of “Americanized” Chinese food.
