I’m actually really pumped about this. The only MOBA that ever clicked with me was Arena of Valor on the Switch, both because it was relatively simple and because of the controller controls. The community died out a few years ago, though, and nothing has scratched that itch since. Here's hoping this one is good since…

Reminds me of when the LA Valiant did the exact same thing, except it was one player and they took him to an In and Out parking lot for the conversation (jump to 5:10):

Taskmaster would have been a great way to explore the "red ledger," honestly.

I actually wasn’t talking about DLSS (because there’s no way the poor Tegra X1 could run DLSS lol), I was talking about the AI Upscaling Nvidia uses on the 2019 Shield TV. It’s easily the best upscaling I’ve seen, especially with games, and works natively on the Tegra.

The New 3DS actually sold pretty well; almost 10 million in its first two years, which was almost half of all 3DS/2DS sales during that time. It didn’t excite many people, and hardly any games used the additional features or power, but financially it’s a decent argument for a Switch Pro. (The DSi also did way better…

The new Switch is .1 inches longer and .05 pounds heavier than the original, but has identical dimensions otherwise, so the original will fit almost perfectly in the new dock.

Yeah, I was hoping for a little more “oomph” to cut back on the slowdown. I have a feeling Nintendo wanted that, but supply chain issues are forcing their hand.

I mean, I would probably shell out the money for a slightly stronger Switch if it played current Switch games with less slowdown/resolution scaling.

I mean, increased specs would mean that it could run current games better. Tons of Switch games have slowdown or need to drop the resolution below HD because the Switch can’t keep up—a marginally stronger machine could reduce those instances significantly.

I mean, I almost exclusively play in handheld (I only use docked for multiplayer), and I would LOVE a larger, OLED screen.

I mean... It’s not for you. It’s for people like me, who play mostly in handheld mode but would like a bigger/better screen. 

As someone who plays almost exclusively in handheld, I’m pretty happy about this. I wouldn’t want to pay more than $350, and while I would have liked a stronger device (if only to mitigate some slowdowns on the current model) the utter lack of upgrades is part of why it’s not that expensive.

There’s a very good joke about blue bussy somewhere here

They have a lot more exposure if they shut the league down; I imagine the contracts with each franchise say that Blizzard needs to pay up if they shut down without consent. 

I think they’ve been killing it this year, TBH. I wish there were a few more matches per week, but otherwise I think this is the best season yet.

Ugh clearly Zack is in Big Pokemon’s pocket, what a SHILL

It’s not very common, but Nvidia has been providing excellent support for the chipset since 2017 so I don’t think that’s the issue.

I see what you did Ari

The Pokemon Company really makes some bangers

The combat was easily the best in the series except *maybe* X2.
