Wow just nice, watched that clip. Blaster Master 0 is everything that rotted turd the Genesis wish it was decades ago. I've got to get that.

Also that NGPC wanna be Pocket Rumble looks like an absolute must as does I think that Kingdoms Two Crowns game which looks interesting. I never got huge into that RCR DX game but that sequel in Hawaii looks fairly interesting too.

I'm slowly thinking less and less I'm going to like just stick to the PC and *1* console/handheld for now on that's new on the market. At least that way one can reasonably find the time to enjoy the variety there without being super choosy and missing out.

The review essentially says that the system is good, but the kickstand is flimsy, the left JoyCon has some connection issues over longer distances, the battery life is 2 and a half hours at max brightness with breath of the wild, but much longer with smaller titles. It can last mire than three hours at medium brightness.

They also mention the hidden costs of buying a charging JoyCon controller, a backup charging cable, a carrying case, an SD card and so on and so forth. The USB on the gamepad is on the bottom so you can't charge it while setting it up on the kickstand and it doesn't have Bluetooth for headphones.

Those are all the bad stuff so the only real complaint that I see is the connectability issues with the left joycon. They seemed to happen rarely and mostly deal with obstruction by people and objects. When it is on the system directly in mobile mode it has no issues at all

As it was referred to when I was doing unmanned aerial system training, you're "meatbagging" the signal. Which, of course, reminds me of HK-47.

That's a good recap, read it on my break. There's really not much to hit it over the head over other than the joycon potential issue, the battery which even they extended over 7hours with an external 10000mah battery and you could maybe mangle the kickstand if you smash into the system.

Doesn't seem like a whole lot to hate about it which is pretty good as they're notorious nitpickers.

IGN gave the Switch 6.7/10

Their main criticisms were:

- Where's COD??
- Too much water
- Why can't you position the dock on its side?

That last one is real, by the way.

Overall, the Switch is an attractive and powerful but oversized portable gaming system that struggles to be a convincing or reliable home console.

It is true. They said that.

there's only one critic I trust, and he doesn't seem to keen on the Switch...
