“I met this girl online and we ended up getting very close, a relationship that lasted almost 2 and a half years, we never met but skyped regularly.” Read more

Yup. I (and about 40 other folks) were swatted about two years ago at one of our monthly gamer meetings (Kotaku reported on it). There’s nothing fun about staring down the barrel of an assault rifle and a plastic riot shield. I was 38 at the time and I was still traumatized. I can only imagine how I would feel if I… Read more

Or, it’s the PERFECT console for it... Read more

I was swatted two years ago. Kotaku reported on it. I’m thankful to still be alive after hearing this news, and I can attest that it’s not fun at all to stare down the firing end of a police assault rifle and plastic riot shield. https://kotaku.com/new-jersey-game-store-swatting-takes-an-uglier-turn-1694386034 Read more

I’ve moved on and you can too. Read more

Outside of user-crafted mods, this dock was literally the only way that I could situate my switch inside of my TV’s entertainment center, which was designed for front-loading devices and only has a clearance area of a few inches between shelves, which is nowhere near enough space to slot the Switch vertically into… Read more

They’re market leaders in both the game console market and the personal VR market. Vita has even managed to subsist alongside Nintendo’s portables and the smartphone/tablet market thanks to a core/niche user-base who buy every import RPG and limited run physical game published for the hardware. I would say that it’s… Read more

Nothing wrong at all with going out on top. In fact, that’s the optimal way to go out. Read more

Always amusing to see the proliferation of “It’s not happening to my system, therefore it couldn’t possibly be an actual problem that is affecting other Switch owners.” that typically occurs during any console/portable launch (regardless of hardware manufacturer of course). Especially entertaining this time around… Read more

Um, I’m sorry Nintendo but I can’t have my Switch NOT within 4-5 feet of a wireless access point. My condo is small and the access point is central and high powered. I think for most people this is going to be the case. In fact...isn’t it kind of patently ABSURD that the Switch, a device which needs to CONNECT to a… Read more

Yeah Caitlyn. You publicly supported him and used your media platform to do so, despite every piece of substantive evidence that he didn’t have the LGBTQ community’s best interests in mind. So, you made your bed. Lie in it. Read more

It’s absolutely fantastic, if you have a GBA, grab it. If you have any means to emulate it on anything, grab it. Basically, grab it and play it if you love Double Dragon! Read more

Double Dragon Advance is as good as it gets IMO. Best version of the classic. Read more

Yeah, but how did Triforce Heroes look in 1080P output? Read more

Also, here is official confirmation that there is no ethernet port on the unit. Read more

It’s a Switch branded adapter. If the unit includes an ethernet port on the dock, there is literally ZERO need for a Switch branded 3rd party USB LAN adapter. Nintendo has never included a built in ethernet port on any of their home consoles.

Why would they sell a USB LAN adapter if there was an Ethernet port? Read more

Yuck. Animal robot masters are THE WORST. Read more

So then, no online features when you’re on the go. Read more

Nintendo hasn’t put an Ethernet port on any of their consoles, they’ve sold USB LAN adapters for the Wii and the Wii-U and product images for the Switch show a similar or identical device. Read more
