the great thing about the Switch is that it's either a handheld or a console depending on what point I'm trying to make.

I was fortunate enough to dunk my left Joycon into a cup of water and buy a new one so that even if I did have the defect, I don't anymore. :smuggo:

That's why I totally can imagine a portable only "Switch" with a smaller screen and better battery life being a thing when the 3DS finally dies. Who knows though with Nintendo.

Nintendo considers the Switch a combination handheld/console. It is the replacement dor the Wii U and 3DS. They are not going to split development between consoles and handhelds anymore because the Switch is both.

They've literally been talking about combining them since before Iwata died.

I just don't see how the 3DS could survive. You can spend 200 dollars for this one handheld, or spend 300 on this other handheld that plays big boy games.

The 3DS is very much on the way out by 2018. And even then, the 2018 titles are delayed localizations of existing releases. New titles are already down to a trickle, and there wasn't exactly a big push for it at e3 like in previous years outside of the Metroid 2 remake and a brief off-hand mention of the Sun/Moon variants.

I can't wait to have time to play this. It totally scratched the "I need FFT" itch on my PS4 and I'm willing to shell out the price again to have it portable. I keep hoping for more tactical games. Outside of the obvious Mario Rabbids game, I'm also looking forward to Tiny Metal and WarGroove. WarGroove looks a little thin on the surface but I'll probably give it a shot.

Late reply, but My only response is that it doesn't give me that FFT satisfaction i wanted, since most of the game is "How can I one shot everyone here before they blow me up"

my one day old switch has a functional left joy con but it is a tiny bit more fussy when trying to fit it into things. the fitting on the rails for it seem a little off. is that generally the case or do i have an anomaly here?

My left joycon fit has always seemed to be a bit off for me as in it seems to rise up a tiny amount whenever I'm holding it in handheld mode and I need to push it down every so often. It really is super minimal though so I don't care.

I tried this and it charged in sleep mode. While playing Zelda it slowed the battery drain to a few percent in an hour. So your mileage may vary but at the very least it will greatly increase your playtime. I had to use a C to C to actually gain charge while playing.
