All I can think of with Link's comment is that he stole Ganondorf's cereal box and thinks he some kind of hero for doing so, while Ganondorf just sighs and gets another box out of the pantry.

There's two different ganons and both were originally ganondorf. But the one that link liberated cereal from has never appeared in his ganondorf form.

Ganondorf is/was a thief, the only male Gerudo born of his century, a warlord and a king of thieves who sought to conquer Hyrule. Upon attained the Triforce of Power, Ganondorf called upon its power to shed his human self and become a being known only as Ganon, a manifestation of greed, initially, but by Twilight Princess he'd basically become a full-on cosmic horror. He still recalls his human self, but Ganon as an entity is something far beyond the human threshold.

Suburban department store locations are great for foraging rarer games, consoles, and accessories, because they'll get a similar allotment to the city ones but not the sell-through rate. It's a great way to track down physical copies of games on the cheap, because they'll likely have at least one or two copies just sit on the shelves for ages and the stores just wind up wanting them gone.

Hmm, does anyone have a link to a conductive foam similar to what Nintendo has been putting in the left joycons sent in for repair? I haven't noticed any major issues with my left joycon but I figure if I'm gonna be opening them up I might as well slap a peice of foam down.

[Edit: on second thought, the joycons reporting a different color to the system then they are will bother me]

shitloads of Rare games like Banjo Kazooie and the spiritual successor YK just put eyes on random objects like toilets, wrenches, cars, cheese wheels, etc and that was one of their "things" that they did. Conker did this too but to a smaller extent.

Nope there was some data earlier that the best place to find a switch is Toys R Us because people tend to forget they have a video game section or are older/without kids and don't have a reason to visit.

Oh I see. I thought you were specifically referencing a character in YK.

Something about Mario's hat's eyes just seem so hollow and dangerous. It doesn't scream lighthearted cartoon platformer, to me.

To me it says this hat is evil and is controlling Mario for its own purposes.

Make sure you check BestBuy for Switch inventory too. Their online stock check if pretty reliable. I just checked as bunch of random zip codes and at least one store in each region I checked had either neon or grey stock.

There are far too many twitter replies from grown men hoping for this to be a game based off of what looks like an anime aimed at very young kids. I'm afraid of googling more about it for fear of finding out it has fans that make bronies and obsessive middle-aged Harry Potter fans look normal.

If you're not using this sketchy mayflash dongle to pair wiiu/ps3/ps4/360/bone/bluetooth controllers with your switch seamlessly then you're missing out. It's even showing an accurate battery readout on my switch for the battery of my Wii U Pro controller. Goddamn.

Tempting but I already have NES 30Pro and Switch Pro controllers so two people can just deal with using solo joycons for 4 player games. :colbert:

I got mine for $299 but that's because I got mine from an actual store and not a scalper listing Switches on walmart.com or whatever.

Fallout 4 was cross gen wasn't it? If so shouldn't have any problems running on Switch.

NBA 2K18 is apparently nearly visibly identical to the PS4 and XBone versions except framerate is halved from 60 to 30. In my opinion that's a really good trade-off for portability.
