Wait, just because Netflix would develop the app it would be wholly free for Nintendo?

There's no coordination on UI, no need to give their developers any SDK, any development units, any help debugging if they get stuck. Completely impossible that the OS isn't optimized for the use case of streaming video and it would need internal resources to divert and focus on that instead of video recording for games. Yeah, just one word from company to company, and an app pops up fully formed and working.

I learn so much about development from this thread.

People who want to go 100% physical are people who never had the amazing 1990's experience of someone stealing your entire CD collection out of your car because it was in a big binder on your front seat, leaving you with a shelf full of empty useless cases at home.

Yeah, I will definitely pick it up post-Odyssey if it turns out half as good as the blurbs I read about it made it sound. Hopefully someone takes the plunge and can report back!

I was gonna pick it up, but even if it ends up being a short game, I dunno if I can plow through it in 3 days since I'll probably be playing Mario Odyssey into 2018. So I'll just wait as well. Who knows, maybe it'll even be on sale by then!

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

The Splatoon 2 servers were down earlier tonight, so I sold my copy. Can’t let that potential value burn a whole hole in my pocket. Once the servers were back up I bought the digital version and got a cool 60 Nintendo eshop funcents - pure profit

Haven't seen any of the new games but if it is a dud you can't go wrong with Jackbox Packs 1 through 3, which are all available on the Nintendo switch eshop.

i prefer being able to sell back games to fund new ones, but i played sunshine well past when the wii was released so im confident odyssey is worth digital

also, someone can just steal your switch, its not really any different then the cd case holder in that regard

You did take several photos of yourself holding your drivers license, most recent newspaper, receipt, Switch with serial number showing, and Switch packaging with serial number showing the day you bought it right? Because then you can easily get your games transferred when someone steals your Switch.

Not your save files though, rip

Try eBay. I was able to get back almost exactly what I paid for it which after 120 hours of playtime was pretty sweet imo.

About 10 years ago my house was broken into, a lot of my games were stolen (mostly X-box/360 stuff). They also took all my DS game cases, but the carts themselves weren't in the cases. So they got the empty game cases. But now I'm left with a bunch of carts and no cases for them. :(

e: I'm picking FEW later on today from Smyths. I never pre-order from Amazon unless I want to wait a week for it.

How are they with other games? I know they've had issues with Nintendo before but, I've heard some complaints with them about game delivery in general.
