I've been thinking on a switch OLED for a while. It's interesting. In a technical aspect, it's a miniaturized Xbox 360 that uses cartridges for high speed data transfer. It shouldn't work in the modern market if you look at the other contenders, even things like the steam deck, but it does, by having great exclusives and somehow porting basically everything with good coding. That's why I'm interested.
The Switch OLED is the go-to model if you plan on playing mainly in handheld & tablet mode. The design of the kickstand should have been the default one from the start and I've been using the console as a tablet a lot more (with the joycons out or a pro controller) ever since upgrading from the v2 normal Switch. The speakers carry some extra punch and the battery life does withstand high levels of screen brightness much better.

It's closer to an XBO than a 360, I'd think.
Never owned a Xbox console in my life, but I can say for sure the Switch is a small step below the base PS4, considering the (previously thought) "impossible" ports such as Nier Automata and Earth Defense Force 4.1. I've been impressed by the Switch's performance from the mission pack DLCs, which make a regular PS4 wheezes in pain.

I'm quite expecting D3 Publisher to announce EDF5 on Switch at some point.
 
Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023

I've never heard of this before, and my local game stores typically have most of the AAA stuff in stock for years. I'm still seeing new copies of Mario Party Superstars and Xenoblade 2 whenever I go. Is this maybe just a local thing instead of an actual orchestrated international attempt at FOMO?
I had wanted to tell the other guy he was mis-remembering and thinking of the Torna stand-alone but I just checked pricecharting and he's definitely right. There was a period in early 2021 where the price spiked despite the virtual edition always being available. Guess that all digital future is further off than publishers want....

Hasn't Nintendo skipped like the past 5 E3s?
Well, it hasn't actually happened for 3 years now but I think it "missed" the one previous to that. Note, by "missed" I mean was not present on the show floor but put out a big Nintendo Direct at the exact same time anyway so unless you were physically present in LA you wouldn't have noticed the difference.

I’m one of those fags that buys physical whenever possible. If I’m going to pay full price for a game, then give me the hunk of plastic and disc/cartridge. Plus I’ve seen more than enough instances over the years where buying a digital copy of a game (or tv show or whatever) doesn’t mean you truly can own it. Plus I do anticipate that physical copies of games will appreciate in price. I sold my sealed copy of Pikmin 3 on the Wii U for $140 a few years back. I just never got around to playing the game, saw what it was going for and sold it. You can’t sell digital copies. So you can recoup most of your “investment” if not more. Some hipster fag will buy your sealed copy of Fire Emblem Engage for MSRP or more in a few years.

That's what we think but if a game is overproduced it will never regain value. A new/sealed copy of Xenosaga goes for only around 110 dollars despite having fifteen years on XB2. There's a time when it was cheaper sealed than XB2 was CIB.
 
JFC Xenoblade 1 is looooong. Just running between NPCs for quests takes forever,they should have found a way to tighten it up in, at least, the capital.
 
Metroid Prime Remastered's physical copies have fallen prey of scalpers. It has disappeared from Amazon and I think the only place you can find it is in eBay for 150$ or so. Fucking Nintendo and their designed scarcity.

God fucking damnit, I was waiting for physical on that one. It better not be a limited printing.
