I'm probably going to have to get one myself. I swear that the switch was going to be a system for physical games only, but even if I went that route there are still pretty big file downloads that the teeny tiny hard drive in it can't hold many of.



RE Revelations 2 is the biggest game, it's like 24gb or something ridiculous.

Most big games are under 8gb, and there are tons of smaller games either below 2gigs or even less than 1gb.

Ive filled up around 500gb but I left the switch storage free as you can easily copy and move games from sd cards without having to redownload everything.

I never thought I'd be a big digital buyer, but getting large micro sds has turbo charged my gaming habits. It's so convent and the prices are awesome, as well as instant delivery of games via the Web.

I might regret it years later when I lose an sd card. But I intend to back everything up before the shop gets closed.

Finished chapter 1 of the Great Ace attorney.

It was pretty good, but feels like a teaser where there will be a follow up in later chapters.

Great visuals, music etc.

A touch too much useless and pointless dialogue. And a feeling  of less interactivity if you use the auto mode where the text scrolls without having to press anything.

Feels more like watching an interactive stage play. Chapter 1 could have used some more evidence and more out of court situations.

I just beat the 2nd boss in NMH3. What a random heap of crap...


The boss or the entire game?

So far the entire game actually.  It's garrish, incoherrent, hamfistedly written and not even in a self-aware manner, just plain dull.  The basic enemies aren't very interesting and you fight them in repetetive arena's in which the same few types get mixed up differently.  There's no run up to the boss, you just get enough money to pay to fight them and are dropped into some horrible cutscene before the fight begins.  The fact that we're now facing aliens is just an easy excuse for the developer to do what they want, without having to worry about things making any sense or fitting thematically.  The game is broken up into different episodes like a tv series, with credits at the start and finnish which is a pretty cool idea, but each episode starts with some talkshow bullshit in which Travo and a host discuss films by the Japanese director Miike.  I googled him and he's real, as are the films they discuss.  God know's why it's in there though.  You still save by going to the toilet, but there's no model for Travis pulling up his pants.  He either has them on or off, but you still see him doing the action of pulling them up.  There's all this new-fangled stuff like gemming to slightly alter your stats, but the game still manages to look like a Wii game.

I could go on.

"Hamfisted"... that's a word that we don't use nearly enough these days.

Anyway very disappointing to hear those impressions, but not at all unexpected. Something about this game seems lazy from the get-go. I don't know, maybe the idea of punk just can't coexist within the framework of a longtime franchise.

Made some pre-Black Friday purchases.

2064 Read Only Memories - a pixel art graphic adventure

Detective Gallo - a Sam and Max like graphic adventure

Valley - a first person, umm, park our game. Supposed to be pretty relaxing and empowering

Also Sam and Max Beyond Space and  Time remastered is coming to switch. Never tried this one.

PAC-MAN MUSEUM™+ - Announcement Trailer

Nice collection here, but I think I have all of these either in other collections or individually.  On that note, I would like to remind everyone that Pac and Pal is one of those painful experiences to ever grace the arcade. Why on Earth namco would dredge that up again is beyond me.

That Pac-Man Museum looks kind of cool. I do already have a few of those games already but there are some that I’ve never played. I do dig the customizable room in there. Pac and Pal is in there? Pac and Pal baby! Woo hoo! Nyaa

I own most of those games digitally on Steam. If there's a physical copy, then I'll buy it for Switch. Otherwise I'll likely pass unless it's on sale for $10 someday.

Xbox Game Pass is $9.99 a month?! Somehow I thought it was like $30+ a month. Will be signing up.

Well, that's one way to make it sound like a great deal.  Nyaa  You'll need Ultimate to be able to play online though (combines GP & Gold)

Nice. I actually saw a few sitting on shelves at my local Walmart. Was very tempted to grab one myself but still going to hold out for a Series X.
