Damn, really?  I got one for $35 the other day while at Best Buy.  Just saw it while in line and figured I'd try one.  Oh well.  :'(

damn thing's been out for two years and it only has hulu. i truly do not understand.

That's not true.  It also has Youtube and NicoNico!  :smug

Have given up on the Switch getting other streaming services.  It's still dumb as hell that it doesn't have them.  It got a comic reader app before something like Netflix.  OK.  ???

The point isn’t I don’t have access to these things, it’s that I can’t put the game on a switch screen in the bathroom and never miss a minute :doge

Is Smash ever going to go on sale in the digital store or will it stay $60 for the entire life of Switch based on past Smash games?

I've decided to go 100% digital on Switch because sometimes I wanna play a few rounds of smash but I don't want to walk over and put the game in. So I'm gonna double dip for the digital copy but I'd like to get it on a sale since already bought it physical...

You'll see the price drop down on the physical copies way before the digital price ever does.

Isn't that why most people are going all digital these days?

On Switch it's mostly because I do all my switch gaming in bed at night and I like to play 20 mins of this game, 20 mins of that game, a few matches of Tetris 99. Last thing I wanna do is get out of bed and go grab the cart and put it in just to play a few rounds of Smash or one run in classic mode.

On consoles I'm still rocking the physical because if I'm gonna sit down on my gaming tv setup and play a game, I'll probably play for a couple hours and that's the only game I'll play. But I buy all my fighting games on PS4 digital so if people are over and we're flipping through fighters we don't have to be constantly changing discs.


Anyhow, it sounds like Smash ain't gonna go any lower, so I'll just double dip digital and then try to sell the physical. I'm guessing it still goes for pretty decent penny since the game never goes on sale.

Because they're lazy?  :thinking  :P 

Convenience is a part of it, sure.  I would assume that and another big reason is to de-clutter and not have more stuff lying around.

So get a little game storage case and put it next to your bed for the carts you already own?

Nintendo might be the worst when it comes to digital price drops, but I guess they can get away with it.  There were still some Wii U games that were priced too high on the eShop last time I checked.

Resale value :rejoice

Resale value on games that you paid $30 for that now sell for $300+ :phil

But yeah, I dig the convenience of all-digital- it's not like I give a crap about buying physical copies of PC games.  Putting collecting and reselling aside, PS4 is useless for physical releases since you have to full-install all the games.  On Switch there are a lot of games that are either complete on cart or mostly-complete on the cart and it helps to save a lot of space on micro SD cards.  I realize that I'm one of the crazier ones who buys too much shit, however.

Whenever I feel like I'm done with the collecting thing, I will also be going almost all if not completely digital, too.  Might start doing that with the next round of consoles.

I agree on the convenience, but the price has to be super low or it has to be a game I know will be fresh forever (Civ6, D3).

Otherwise I buy everything physical for that resale value which is especially good with Nintendo games. Like I know that I will bw able yo sell Smash in a few months for close to what I bought it for.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well.

I’m currently spending time with the family and having a break from everything. With the passing of Saber it’s made us realise we need time out.

The last 8 years of Building, renovations, moving house, building, renovations and then finally losing both dogs (family members) within a year of each other has taken its toll on us all.

Since last week I’ve lost the passion for well.. anything. Video games, tv, cars even working so this break is long overdue.

I can’t get on camera and act like everything is ok as that’s not how I work.

I ask you to please hang in there and let me spend time with my family.
Thank you for all the wonderful support.

Then he came back and found out his father is terminally ill.  :(

It looks and runs great (tried undocked) and I was starting to wonder what a patch was even needed for.

Then I went into a store and A suddenly stopped working, so I couldn't cancel out of the menu.  :lol

Day 1 patch for a port of a game that came out 8 years ago? :lol

:neogaf
It apparently needs another patch. When undocked it's fine, but when docked, the framerate tanks into the single digits.

I think the day one patch for SR3 actually ended up being delayed a bit. What they're offering for $40 is $15 digitally on PC base price and often goes on sale for like $3.74. :doge It's cool that it's on Switch and I don't have all the DLC for it on 360 so whenever that version drops to $20 I may bite. :-[

SMM2 is going to be insanely huge for them, they've added a lot to what could have just been a straight port and still sold/done well due to having a significantly larger user base than the Weeoo had. Kids could get just that for the year and be more than set gaming wise.

Welp, that vouchers thing was the discount I was looking for to double dip on Smash digital. Between using point cards off Amazon for the $100 and getting 5% back there ($5) and the 500 e-shop points you get ($5), it brings it down to $45/game instead of $60, which is alright for stuff Nintendo never puts on sale I guess. Not great deal but better than nothing. Pre-ordered Super Mario Maker 2 & Smash. Hopefully Mario Maker 2 has as good single player campaigns as the original, which I've still never bought, did. No interest in making levels or playing user levels, just getting it for the official Nintendo campaigns because I heard they were quality in Mario Maker 1.

Saint's Row 3's "day one" patch is out tomorrow.  Supposed to have bug fixes and performance improvements.

:mindblown

There's some incredible user-made levels out there that people are still playing and making even now.  Anyway, check out the direct on it.  Shitloads of new content including new levels and item sets based on 3D World...in 2D.  Has co-op and competitive multiplayer, too.



Good example of a creative user-made level:

i never played mario maker but i watch it almost every day on twitch. i have never seen a level that i would consider on par with a regular mario level. there's lots of ok stuff and if you love that kaizo bullshit you'll be set for life, but the basics of a solid platforming level seem to escape 99.99% of level designers.

Got that theme after playing some matches- was pretty easy to get 100 points.  Really didn't play this very much until the DLC for offline play came out- I'm good with just marathon, but online is pretty fun.  Had the same thing happen where some matches just seemed fucked right off the bat.  :lol

Wasn't going to use them unless they replicated Wii Edition's control scheme exactly (or allowed you to), so I've been expecting to just use the Protroller, but yeah... Would have been a fun bit of nostalgia to pretend the Joycons were a Wiimote and it was 2007 again.

It's a weird patch- improves some things, but makes other stuff noticeably worse.  They should probably make the resolution 720P docked...might help things.
