Are the differences between something being on internal memory, on an SD card, or on a game card really that significant?

So yeah the internal memory is faster by a few seconds (think they said usually like 14 % faster compared to game carts) than both SD and game carts with SD cards having a slight advantage over carts.

Doesn't really matter for online stuff though, yeah. It's also super-annoying that you can't switch stuff from internal to SD card without loving re-downloading it; JFC

Feel like I bought the Switch a little early as there's very little out right now but being "in" at the start of the Splatoon online play this go-around was worth it and I've enjoyed having it during trips so far as well.

I wish I had enough free time to think that the Switch has too few games.

More like not enough games that I like absolutely have to play yet- some nice indie stuff, some of which I've already played. Kinda surprised there's absolutely no kind of Virtual Console stuff going yet though

Got shipped Mario Odyssey early yesterday from Amazon and had time to play it a bit last night- I dunno why but the old formula still works

entrancing

Ah man nice to have Into the Breach on the Switch- didn't think the "analog stick to control what was once a mouse cursor" thing would work that great but it actually feels good. The "snapping" to selections works well so it feels pretty smooth.

It took them a year to throw some .nes files with a slick UI up lol



On the other hand I'm probably also going to give them the 20 bucks

I like the first VC and then the second and third ones were only on PSP and the spinoff one wasn't a VC game mechanically so I'm looking forward to 4 and also on the Switch

It's always like a bonus when a game releases on the Switch

Port all games to the Switch under threat of death whether they run at 60 fps or not
