I've got a particular guess as to what this means... I'd wager it's smashing info that we'll hear about for next spring/summer. And the 4.0.x update also introduced 30 second video capture for certain games (e.g. Zelda, Splatoon 2: Mario Kart 8). Perfect for Super Mario Odyssey coming out this Friday. Quote Link to comment

VectorVictor Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 By the way, Super Mario Odyssey is the second coming of Super Mario 64, it appears. Reviews have been consistently stellar. But don't take my word for it--Best Buy has demo units up with Super Mario Odyssey running on them currently. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kotaku doesn't give scores anymore, but their review was glowing. Quote Link to comment

It's got a 98 at Metacritic right now. Well, it did until apparently the Super Mario Odyssey scores broke their site. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Smash Bros. Ultimate confirmed for a December 7th release. It's got every character and every stage from the series, plus a few newbies and revamped mechanics, including Gamecube controller support (paging @VectorVictor) Quote Link to comment

That's a day one purchase for sure...though I'll probably purchase it day one and wait to give it to my kids for Xmas. Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Guys, finally found a good deal I could hop on yesterday. Got one for $246 after tax. It will be here Wednesday! PUMPED! What do I need to look at getting in terms of accessories? If anybody has the Pro controller, would you recommend it? 1 Quote Link to comment

I really like the split controller, so I wouldn't get the Pro controller, but that's just me. But you should get at least one more controller because they have to be connected to the Switch while it's charging for the controllers to charge. There's also a free app for your phone that's useful for limiting the amount of time your kids on playing but it's pretty useless otherwise. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment

The joycons themselves are small, but you get a controller shell that they slide into. The Pro controller has gotten great reviews; I've held off on buying one thus far, but will probably pick one up soon. There are also cheaper, corded variants that have gotten decent reviews, too. You might want to look into a charging stand, as well as a glass protector for the screen. https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Tempered-Screen-Protector-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N3ASPNV/ref=zg_bs_16227129011_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PMV45Y56F630ZZ44NKK0 https://www.amazon.com/Compact-Playstand-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01N9RTMWS/ref=zg_bs_16227129011_16?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=PMV45Y56F630ZZ44NKK0&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Adjustable-Charging-Stand/dp/B07D12JGBB/ref=zg_bs_16227129011_35?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PMV45Y56F630ZZ44NKK0 Quote Link to comment

Those charging stands I listed are to play in tabletop mode; they're much sturdier than the kickstand that comes on the back of the unit itself. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Finally playing Mario Odyssey. The creators must have been on drugs. On the current level I'm a ball of flame trying to land in squashed tomato juice in order to get a power moon. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's based on the original game of a plumber trying to rescue a princess from an evil human-turtle hybrid by jumping on the heads of enemies, navigating a sophisticated sewer transportation system, and consuming mushrooms to grow into a giant... what exactly did you expect?
