I always think in the long term and get games physically as often as I can, because someday the Switch servers will be shut down.

But on that note, if it's primarily an online multiplayer game, then I'll get it digitally since there's no point in having a disc or cart after the servers get shut down. So I'm opting for digital Splatoon 2 even though I could have got it cheaper on Amazon.

I don't know much about the technical aspect, but I don't understand why Fractured But Whole isn't coming out on Switch. I played through Stick of Truth and it didn't seem technically demanding and But Whole doesn't seem like a big step up. Playing that portably would be rad.

Someone should really make a team based shooter with a simpler, cartoony art style that makes it easy to port to whatever, even if your laptop is from 2007. Hmm...

When they do put Melee on Switch, I hope they take out wavedashing and whatever else to piss off the Melee community.

I bought Minecraft on Switch and it's awesome. I was thinking of resetting to get a better seed but then I stumbled upon a village real close to my spawn point.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 4k settings. It's not possible for Switch to get those. But otherwise, it will be unified with the Win 10, Xbox One, and Mobile versions of Minecraft soon. It's even gonna have Realms access.

I was just gifted a Switch and it's been sitting for a week because I either have the equivalent game on Wii U, PC, or the game came out 4 years ago and is dirt cheap elsewhere.

What the heck do I get, guys? I'm about to trade in my Wii U copy of BoTW for a Switch one, because I really don't have many other ideas. I might get Shovel Night as well, despite having a 3DS copy.

Based on your avatar, you should get Sonic Mania on Switch.

Holy poo poo, someone else who agrees with me about this. I love the design and look of Sonic games, and when you're speeding through a level they can even be fun, but as soon as I hit one hazard or enemy I'm instantly reminded why I don't like the franchise.

So don't hit enemies or hazards.
