    $45 for 200gb is a great deal

    For some reason they put a bunch of really dated and shitty games on the service.

    That’s probably my most played NES game...or one of them. Game was epic.

    Calling it now, SNES, if it comes out, will come out in October of next year, just in time to get all the 1 year subs to re-up.

    That’s the best they can do?

    I get Nintendo has this “it’ll sell anyway so we don’t have to discount shit” mentality but Sony and Microsoft are really good about freebies and cycling through deals. It’s pretty fucking stupid that Breath of the Wild is still full retail a year and a half later. I’d have hoped for a Game of the Year edition of that with the full DLC packed in by now.

    And I don’t guess Nintendo ever does “classics” like the other two companies?

    I don’t really care either way, and always assume the worst with Nintendo, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they put SNES games on there within 6 months. If Pokemon comes out next fall/holiday I don’t think they’re going to be concerned with getting subs via snes games.

    I’ve got it too...love it. Was just curious whether or not Odin liked it. I know he loves turned based games just didn’t know if he cared for that type of turned based game. It’s awesome but those Veks fuck my shit up.

    They do classics they just haven’t on the Switch for some inconceivable Nintendo reason.

    Nintendo’s games hold their value for a long time. And those little sd cartridges are going to be super valuable years from now.

    The price of some GameCube games is ridiculous. I wish I had taken better care of some of mine.

    That is a phenomenal price.

    Someone find me a good price on joycons before Mario Party because I’m a bonehead and traded my extra set in 6 months ago for whatever reason.

    FYI it’s $10 cheaper to get the xenoblade season pass which gives you Torna than it is to just buy the DLC.

    I’m getting pretty damn excited about Mario Party...I’m pleasantly surprised that they made a Mario Party and apparently put a lot of effort into it...looks like a blast

    Does it require just a single joy con for each player (2 sets of 2 for 4 player)?

    Was this for an SD card? I have ad block on.

    Yesterday I bought a 256gb off Amazon for $19.99.

    We'll see how it holds up but an actual 256gb card arrived and formatted.

    Yes. Definitely seemed like a too good to be true offer, but I’ve had some luck with crappy sd cards for the stuff I do with SBCs. Figured I’d give it a shot since Amazon is pretty good with returns. Bayonetta is redowloading now. I’ll let you know if it plays.

    I’m gonna take my wife through Rayman Legends. What are some other co-op side scrollers?

    She got hooked through Guacamelee 2 so Metroidvania-style would be a plus. She’s usually had pretty bad coordination with controllers needing to perform simultaneous button presses but she got pretty damn good at combos and traversal on that game.

    Anyone play the new Kirby? Worth a damn?

    Or Captain Toad Treasure Tracker? I know Dairy Queen swears by it but anyone else have an opinion on it?

    Yea...and it’s, no hyperbole, an all time great game. Captain Toad is great but the co op is nothing more than a dumb and useless novelty. Kirby is alright, but it’s for young children. Go with DK for sure.

    On island 3 of tropical freeze right now.

    The game is the perfect difficulty and is doing a more than adequate job of mixing up the gameplay to keep me interested.

    The barrel rocket level was a bitch

    As someone that has to buy a lot of sd cards for work, Amazon has been flooded with shoddy knockoffs and other shady shit going on. Ordered 4 cards a few months back and got a package full of little keychain tags instead. Amazon refunded me, and then pulled all of lexar’s cards off their site. Definitely check the reviews before buying.

    B&H is a bit pricier and doesn’t offer the quick ass delivery, but I’ve never been burned by them.
