Sold.

Been waiting for a 3rd party Switch dock to get made, so I can buy a 2nd dock for the house.

Yeah it's pretty sweet. I do worry about stability at that size though. Also not sure if the $45 includes the usb-c charger or the HDMI cable.

Smash will be announced in the Spotlight and the "breaking news" in the first hour of Treehouse will be a character trailer. Not sure who it will be but I have an "inkling" you guys will enjoy it. ;)

If there's nothing on the back of that dock to hold the console so the only thing balancing all the weight of the Switch is it's USB C port I can see some really bad horror stories happening

I am positive this has been asked a million times, so I apologize in advance, as this is a super long thread.

What's the best way to find a switch near me that isn't a ridiculous GameStop "bundle" that costs $500? I don't care about the color, just that it's the $299 base SKU.

I'd be interested in Smash for Switch. Haven't touched it since GC but that was only for a few matches. I'd love to see how it has changed since the original.

Good lord how niche can you get:

"There's a new Mario Kart coming out."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, it's part of the GP series though."
"The what?"
"You know that arcade only Mario Kart that no one played?"
"..."
"It's also VR."
"..."
"And uses a consumer VR headset but proprietary chair/controls."
"..."
"It's also just for a single arcade, in Japan."
"Cool."

What's the point?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

The point is the Japanese still have and use arcades.

It will probably drum up a huge amount of hype. Nintendo is all about an experience. That's why they're opening a themepark. They're a brand, so it's just advertising their products and characters.

Bandai/Namco: "We will pay you $$$ to license the Mario Kart property for this very niche application."
Nintendo: "Okay."

Leveraging their IP has become a key business priority for Nintendo - hence stuff like the Uniqlo collaborations, the Universal theme parks, etc. etc.
