Considering it sounds like even the 399$ model is being sold at a loss, I wonder how likely it is that this thing will ever be on sale since technically even the base price sound like it’s discounted compared to what we’d otherwise pay for the hardware :/

Yes, clearly. I found it amusing and I’ve already said that.

Their featured articles change hourly automatically, iirc.

Many people including myself have Steam accounts that are decades old by this point, not to mention all of the other digital games that have been bought on different platforms.

Also a lawyer in a similar situation (minus the kid). I’m not particularly interested in building a PC, but would love a way to play some of those PC exclusive games on the couch, probably docked. Portability is a bonus, not the main draw.

Switch WOULD be a handheld indie machine... if it could handle most of them. It struggles sometimes even on simple indie games. And then forget anything that looks better than a 360/PS3 game, indie or not, it looks/runs terrible on the Switch. Even some of Nintendo’s own games struggle bad.

Honestly, I want a way to play games like Trails in the Sky (and other RPGs i keep buying on Steam because I’m bad with money) on a TV and not my desk, and my constant fighting with Steam Link has made that hilariously difficult.

Which is an incredibly niche desire, so yeah. I’m not exactly sure the long term…

Games like Ghostrunner, Cloudpunk, Bloodstained, Dead Cells, Snowrunner, Hyper Light Drifter, Journey to the Savage Planet... There’s tons of games with major performance issues and/or blurry visuals on the Switch.

I’ve seen the authors on Kotaku say something similar. I just found it hilarious that they have two contradicting articles featured next to each other on the main page.

A long time ago, I made a comment like this on Gawker and the author of the piece replied with “Gawker is not a monolith.”

Yeah, my blood pressure is through the roof today. Not because I'm upset about the OLED Switch, but because of all the Internet salt.

I’ve played a lot of board games online over the last year, but they don’t really compare to being able to actually get together and play games together. Plus, while most of the online services are decent, they’re still incredibly clunky compared to being able to actually move pieces around with your hands.

There has been a bit of a renaissance over the past couple years in the tabletop gaming community as a whole.  There are more mature-themed games being put out and more readily available in places like Target and bookstores, as well as various local game stores.  

Supernatural, that right bitches, the Winchesters are contractually obligated to keep coming back from the dead.

Depending on the time zone. It releases 28th in Japan, but it will be available in about 8 hours (from the time this reply is posted) in US

Depends where you are. 4/27 5PM PDT so it’ll be today for the US but it’ll be 4/28 in the UK for instance. And it’s already 4/28 in Japan so for them it’s also today but today is Wednesday.

Naw she knows what she did and damn you for making me side with the police! I may never forgive you.

You either die a Metroidvania developer, or you live long enough to become an action-RPG-with-random-dungeons developer.

My Dad did the couch co-op thing for NES SNES times and it made all the memories. You are doing it correctly. Last game I played with my Pa before he gave up the computer was the OG Tribes. He was amazing. Now he’s into building stuff, which is also fun co-op. :) 

I am so excited for this game. I bought two copies. One for me and one for my kids. Going to be so fun teaming up with them.
