If you only buy digital you can never lick the carts. Clearly missing out on a Switch feature

I'd like to remind the thread that when Splatoon 2 came out there was several pages of "The eShop is hosed because everyone's trying to download it, what do?! :f5:"

Does any USB Ethernet adapter still work with the dock? I read something when the latest system update came out that some of them stopped working, and I'd rather not pay $30 for the Hori one if possible.

Ethernet adapters have been hit or miss since the Wii U. You might want to just bite the bullet and order Nintendo's from their web site.

Sonic Mania comes out on all consoles including the Switch on the 15th. At $20 I'm gonna be getting that for sure

edit: In case anyone forgot Mania is the 2d genesis-like title, not the 3d one that's probably going to be bad

And it's possible that Nintendo will implement preloading for digital games. That would take the pressure off

Rocket League when

I like Rocket League a lot on PS4. I am kinda confused why I am excited about it coming to Switch besides playing it portably. Oh well.

Also confused by my desire for a physical release of Rocket League. Maybe I have been sucked into a cult of materialism where I stockpile video games I never play in hopes that when I die I leave a bad rear end loot drop for my nephews or children I wish I had.

Does the switch not have that? Major releases on Wii U and 3DS have preloads.

It sadly does not. The great Splatoon 2 jam could have been prevented if it did.

I did not forget. Never forget. Sonic Mania is one of the reasons I got a Switch.

It's gonna own.

eShop unfucked itself and i got Splat2n. Having a loving blast. And it was €5 cheaper than the physical game so eat it, card buyers.

Oh no, I've always done that, just with the controller in hand. On the table, it makes this satisfying HD Rumble kerplunk sound that almost sounds as if it came from the Switch itself.

I had a little party and Overcooked was a huge hit. It started as a bunch of awful disasters and eventually turned into some well running kitchens by the end of the night. It's also probably one of the funniest games ever to watch other people play.

Been playing more Overcooked 2 player. We are syncing up and 3 star targets in earlier levels that once seemed impossible are now being smashed with ease.

Also haven't come to blows yet but who knows how that'll go. "I need mushrooms please!" may soon turn into "FUCKIN GIVE ME THE FOOD YOU TWAT"

I'm getting on a 10 hour fight tomorrow, and folks, I'm extremely relieved to be an owner of a Switch by Nintendo that I have loaded with a digital library chock full of amazing content. It's a great console, a great time to be alive, and a great time to be a gamer.
