Wrap it up. Can't wait for the Switch to fail so that Nintendo can make all their games on the PS4 and Xbox One and the PC and PSP Vita. I love Nintendo's games and for some reason that means I hope they fail.

The Surface does what Nintendon't.

The d pad one really is crazy. Do they expect people to play platformers with a 3d stick? The buttons aren't going to cut it as a fake D pad.

A D-pad is just 4 buttons, hope this helps.

Dear Penthouse Forum,

I never thought this could happen to me, but as I browsed around in an eletronics shop, not looking for anything in particular, i saw a NES Classic Mini just sitting there in the shelf and bought it instantly!

Miracles can happen, and this will tide me over until the Switch comes out. :3:

Its tiny cords were secretly designed to prepare you for the joycon connectivity distance.

So I read up on shovel knight and apparently spectre of torment is stand alone but treasure trove gives you all the previous games + any future ones. It also seems like if you've bought the game before it is getting upgraded into treasure trove for free.

DotEmu is working on it ( vintage NeoGeo, other stuff), so it might come to the Switch.

The existing game is becoming Treasure Trove, and will be getting a price increase. However, the original base campaign is also going to sold at a reduced price as a standalone product. It's like bullshit day one DLC except in reverse and not bullshit.

I can't believe Netflix will never ever make an app for the Switch and that my other consoles and second HDMI port on my TV are going to catch fire, ensuring I can never watch Netflix on my TV while my Switch is plugged in. What even is the purpose of a game console then?

Is there any word on whether USB headphones work with the Switch?

Yea, when you can watch Netflix on your phone or stream that to a TV with a €40 appliance and it's available on every other networked device under the Sun (probably including at least one fridge), I don't really see Nintendo deciding to leave it out being an issue. Just watch it on your laptop, tablet, phone or whatever in bed. If you can afford a Switch, you must have at least one of those options.

Here's a protip if one weeks unexpected expenses are enough to make you not be able to afford a video game then you are sacrificing your financial security for video games, unless that unexpected expense was like thousands of dollars.
