Well, it's official; Curl-6 is, as of today, the owner of a Nintendo Switch.

Just finished setting it up and played through the tutorial of Splatoon 2; still getting used to the physical form and feel of the Joycons.

Ooh!! You better add me!

Well, I don't play online and haven't even linked it to my NNID yet, but sure. :P

Yep, faith pretty much restored to pre-2011 levels at this point. ;)
And yeah, the fact that they haven't been delaying their key titles left right and centre like they used to helped a lot, as did Botw being one of the best games they've ever made and Odyssey looking like it will be as well.

That's nice to hear! Let's hope we all have fun in this new era

Yep, things are certainly looking brighter than they have in a good 7 years IMO. It's nice after so long to feel positive about the future again.

Great news about Stardew Valley!! Been excited for it coming to Switch ever since it was announced.

Here's the trailer from YouTube:

 



Also guys, I'll be trying to catch up on the Friend Code list in the OP. Feel free to post (or repost if you already have) your friend codes for me to add. It might take me a bit to scour through all the pages, but I'll get there eventually



Switch question: is there a way to power it off beyond just "sleep mode" without unplugging it? Or is sleep mode pretty much equivalent to powering a regular console off?

If you hold down the power button for a few seconds, it'll show you a menu where you can choose to go into sleep mode, restart, or fully power off.

Cheers. Still getting used to the ins and outs of the system.

Good to hear. Have fun.

How does it stack up againt Hyrule warriors? Similar, better or worse?

Never got to play Hyrule Warriors so I can't tell. If there's a Switch remaster, I might get it.

Did a bit of FE Warriors today.

Very excited about this title : graphics seems in-between Vita and PS4 Musô in terms of quality but animation is absolutely flawless. Action part is extremely enjoyable and numerous RPG elements remain. Fantastic cutscenes, full and high quality voice acting (in Japanese at least).

Good to hear you're enjoying it, though it makes me jelly, it also further ensures that I'll definitely love it when I do play it! So do you speak Japanese then? It's a tiny bit tempting to get the game off the JP eShop instead of waiting for the US release, but I do like to know what the hell is going on in my games hehe.

Congrats on getting it! I don't think there's any means of turning it off without pressing the button on the console itself though, which is impractical.

Also on a personal note no one cares about, there was a pretty big national fighting game tournament here this past weekend, and being my 5th "major" (hard to call it that compared to north american majors), I'm happy to say I finally did well in one. Got 4th place (out of 22) in Doubles, eliminating one of the best pairs in the country in the process, and 7th place (out of 45) in Singles, also beating one of the best players in the country, who also happens to play Mario, a character that has long haunted my nightmares and eliminated me out of nearly every tournament ever since I began maining Meta Knight last year (and I didn't just beat him, I totally outplayed him and won 3-0! It felt awesome as hell).

...erm. Carry on.

I care ya foo, congratulations! I recall hearing that Meta Knight was low tier so if that's true that's all the more impressive! Perhaps it's a good thing we no longer have tournaments, you'd just kick all our asses everytime hehe. How did you decide to finally switch off Fox?

I'm pretty sure they omitted DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze, which is indeed lame af.
