I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.
Thanks for the controller talk guys. I may just get that SN30 Pro. The fact that it works with PC USB out of the box tips me over the edge. I've tried using 3rd party drivers for the switch pro controller to work corded with the PC, but I was never successful. This was some time ago though, maybe the situation has improved. Right now, I only have enough controllers for 3 players on local PC multiplayer which is a bit awkward. The many low reviews of the sn30 pro initially made me wary of the quality control from 8bitdo, but it also seems like they're genuinely improving.

Just came out, so not on sale, but it's a comparable price and is the best on the market.

Holy moly, I can't play in handheld mode for more than like 45 minutes without hand cramps and thought I was the only one. Never knew this existed but it seems VERY intriguing....

The Sega Classics Collection comes out in like 2 weeks and I'm so hyped to be able to have ToeJam & Earl on my Switch. I'm sure I'll play a few other things in there, but I am mostly planning on paying $30 just for that.

Physical copy is worth more. You can resell or lend it to friends.

I just found out Diablo 3 Campaign is open to public matchmaking with seasonal characters, but friends only with non seasonal characters. So I changed it. Hopefully i’ll get matched up. But I have it on the second to highest difficulty. The necromancer seems kinda overpowered. I have a giant entourage fighting with me, not counting the cuckoo, and rezzed enemies.

You can also stick your friends' physical carts in and claim points for them. It's significantly less than a digital copy's points though.

You can only do this once per cart and it has to be less than a year since the game’s original release.

Couple of quick Joycon questions:

1) Is there a good Joycon grip that can also fit in the dock?
2) If not, what's the consensus on the best Joycon grip?

It's not worse than any other mediocre evildoer-based storyline. Veteran Diablo 3 players are just scarred for life from having to play through it a minimum of 20 times to unlock all the characters.

It makes sense when you're actually playing it trust me. Though I would honestly suggest Thumper on PC or PS4 instead just because that game causes me to press the joystick way too hard and I feel like I may break the Switch playing Thumper.

I haven’t messed with it, but by default you start in friends only mode and you have to switch it to connect to randos. Alternatively no one is playing campaign because it sucks

Heads up: the new 8-bit costume in Mario Odyssey is lame. It's the 8-bit model locked in a "mid air jump" pose that just floats around in the air. It is not an animated 8-bit skin.

Yeah yeah, gift horse's mouth and all that. Just thought it's worth mentioning so you don't get your hopes up.

That was the first thought that crossed my mind as well. SOOOO GOOD

Also got through the first few stages of Doom. Very satisfying so far. Tried the motion help and it was more disorienting then helpful but I might give it another go after I get through the main campaign. It’s just a bit of a learning curve to get used to.

Yeah I thought it was gonna be another one of those "Those geniuses did it again!" things but the only movement he does is his hat will disappear when he throws his hat. Still kinda funny to watch him leap after it like a plane stalling out but not worth going out of your way to get it if you don't already have the 9999 coins sitting around.

These are events that last a few months. Basically, you create an all-new character that has no access to anything from the Campaign mode, and go through the Adventures & Bounties mode, getting lootboxes for completing all the missions for each Act.

You don't have to go straight into Adventure mode with a season character though. You can (and imo should if it's your first time playing) go through the campaign first to get a better idea of how the game and your character works before jumping into Adventure, and you can freely switch between them.
