I don't do it myself, but one of my friends said he uses it all the time when he brings the switch over to his friends and they play something. Apparently it's more stable on the little stand than it feels (which that thing feels very unstable imo).

The stand is perfectly stable unless you're on a bus or turbulent plane or something.

The stand is fine but the viewing angle is a little too low for me to be useable most of the time.

Well Metroid Prime 4 was already confirmed as something that's being developed. Though not by Retro Studios, so I'm interested who the new development team is on this title.

I was thinking about the upcoming NWC and how they will probably show off a new game for the finals. I'm thinking it might be Pikmin 4. It was mentioned earlier in the year that it was almost finished and I remember people really liking the Pikmin 3 multiplayer.

He was a producer on a lot of Nintendo games, including the Metroid Prime series and DKC: Tropical Freeze.

Even if I don't like some of the games he's helped produce, I can't complain that any of them felt unfinished or unpolished.


VVVVVVV Also that, though this guy produced Sticker Star and Color Splash so I'm still not keen on him

It's not the same guy. From what I checked all we know about prime 4's team is that the producer is Kensuke Tanabe who produced the 3 main prime games as well as the new donkey kong games and a bunch of other stuff. Other M was produced and directed by Yoshio Sakamoto. Sakamoto is the producer for samus returns though.

Luckily it's a remake so I doubt returns will have the same problems

You can tell he's never actually worked as a puppeteer for Jim Henson Productions.
