That Nintendo 64 is junk. He robbed them blind.

I don't know what everything else added up to, but that N64 alone is worth more than the Switch he bought.

False. It's a Nintendo 64. Belongs in the trash.

The store themselves posted it on their IG page

However, the Kotaku article says
"So was it a good deal or not? A Tears of the Kingdom Switch plus the cash comes out to $1,060 total."

I want the store to confirm this, because I was under the impression he was given $700 in credit for all of that stuff and the Zelda OLED Switch came out of that, not that he was given a Zelda OLED in addition to $700. If the latter, then they didn't rip him off.

My local Walmart had 6 OLED TotK Switch's in stock tonight.

From the video it sounds like she says the switch and $700 cash. Plus there is a picture of the cash down at the bottom and the Zelda Switch. While I don't think it was a great deal, it is quicker than trying to find a buyer. Gotta play that Zelda now.

So I beat Breath of the Wild. I did learn that you can swap the buttons to go left to right, so B is A and A is B. But it only works with the Junks Cons and not the Hori Split Pad. So I'll just deal with reading text left to right and then having to remember the dumb fudging buttons go right to left.

DLC time or TOTK?

TOTK

The DLC was actually really good.

I'd rather just get on to the new one, see what's better, etc

For anyone interested, there's a bundle containing Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and Dying Light: Definitive Edition currently on sale for $10.79
I already own Call of Juarez, and I've beaten Dying Light (and the expansion) twice on PS4, but am thinking of buying this bundle just to have Dying Light on Switch and maybe giving it another playthrough. I don't know if DL has gone on sale this cheap before by itself.

So I did go ahead and start my replay of BotW before TotK. I last save file is from 6 years ago and honestly I remember virtually nothing about the game except the obvious (4 dungeons, a bunch of shrines, fighting ganon etc) but what's wild is that even though the first time I played the game I liked it but didn't think it was awesome or amazing, this run through I am enjoying it more. I don't know why but so far I am really digging it and I figure TotK will be around for a long time before a new Zelda game so no need to rush to play it.

Anyways, yeah I guess I am going to go thru this game again and then start TotK at some point. It looks pretty awesome on the Switch OLED

I really hoped to replay BotW before TotK but I ran out of time.

I wonder how much Nintendo charges Amazon for their Nintendo Switch games.

"Everybody 1-2-Switch" is releasing on June 30th. I like how there was no hype or build up for this at all, they just put it in a Tweet and it'll be out in 4 weeks. So, uh...who's excited for this?

It's $29.99 for physical and digital, so at least they priced it better.

Is this a new game, or a re-release of the launch game?

That's so weird. I never expected a sequel to 1-2 Switch. I won't lie, we've gotten a fair amount of enjoyment out of our copy of 1-2 Switch over the years. We've played it many times on family game nights, and also with guests. It can be a fun little party game with the right crowd. So I'm actually kind of looking forward to this. Not for $30 though. I already paid full price for the original, I'll wait until I can snag this for like $15.

I was always hoping to pick the original up for $10, but I never see it. Really don't see many used Switch games anywhere outside of game stores.

I'm kind of surprised it didn't drop more than it did. I mean I know it was $60 to begin with, but still.

Scott wrote:


Yeah, I remember Nintendoland being $10 within a year.

Does that mean there won't be a Nintendo Direct in the second week of June like there always was before E3 died? Because otherwise why wouldn't they have just held off a little longer on that game's announcement?

Wow, no joke. Not even a video or screenshot. Why on earth would anyone preorder this? Replies to NoA's Twitter post are hilarious. Getting roasted.

Someone had said last year that Nintendo had a sequel to 1-2-Switch but were just sitting on it not sure what to do with it because it "tested horribly" among the play test groups. That guy knew what he was talking about, because here we are a year later and he even had the name correct. Maybe that has to do with why they cut the MSRP in half for this one. This article from June 7 of last year:

Unfortunately for Nintendo, it's claimed Everybody's 1-2-Switch simply didn't resonate with its target audience — namely, families with children — and "tested horribly". Play testers are said to have found its mini-games, which included musical chairs and a twist on bingo that required 'digging' out numbers using Joy-Cons, "boring" and "tedious". The response was reportedly so bad, some employees within Nintendo began suggesting the game could damage the company's reputation for quality software if released. But despite those reservations, executives are reportedly refusing to be swayed on the idea of launching it as anything other than a full-price game (some employees have suggested releasing it as part of Switch Online's premium subscription), believing that - like its predecessor, which was also met with a poor critical reception - it will still sell well regardless of complaints. Khan says his sources were unclear what the future might hold for Everybody's 1-2-Switch; while it's possible Nintendo may simply decide to cut its losses and abandon the project, sources say this is unlikely, and that Nintendo will "try to get the game out there one way or another."

That certainly sounds like a good reason for the price being what it is.

Unloading Switch Games ready to go, gearing up for the Next Console. Next Console must not have JoyCons.

Knowing Nintendo, they'll make something worse than the Junk Cons.

Power Glove 2

I love the power glove. Its so bad...

if it's anything other than a full VR system I will be dissapoint.

Does anybody know if there is a case or a holder for your joy cons?

My daughter and I been trying to get them. But didn’t know if there is something to hold
All of them. Or something that would look nice to have them in

Are these for joycons that you use regularly or are you trying to showcase them? If it's the former, I'd recommend a charging dock so they're good to go each time you want to play.

Just saw that Tetris The Absolute Grandmaster 2 Plus is now out on the Switch. Gonna have fun getting my ass kicked this weekend!

Four more NSO games added:

Definitely will be trying out that Blaster Master game.

Mystery Tower looks neat and I'm very excited to give the classic Harvest Moon a ago. Both look like fun pick up and play games.

Blaster Master looks cool but I feel like I should play through the newest Blaster Master game that I bought way back when Switch was still new as that's probably the best experience.

And I don't know about anybody else, but I'm over the constant addition of Kirby games. There's like 400 on NSO already. At least this one apparently has the tilt gimmick, but I don't need any more Kirby games haha

I'm always up for more Kirby

Never would have expected them to add Blaster Master: Enemy Below! That game has been on my to play list for way too long. I started it once but only made it to the 2nd world. Maybe having access to it on the Switch will help me to finally play through all of it.
