The Final Fantasy 12 remaster is really really good.

It's even more pronounced after playing the Switch and using its (almost perfect) Pro Controller for these past few months. The plus and minus buttons being on top of each other on the GamePad is just madness.
I'm hoping to get a Switch later in the fall. I don't have time for it now, but I know if I buy it now I'll waste time playing it instead of focusing on what I need to for the next couple of months.

Get it for Mario Odyssey. The game is going to be the tits.

Good will power there to keep yourself from getting one.

Same. We just got a tiny financial windfall, and I almost sprung on a Switch with Zelda...But it would be a very poor choice for me right now.

Wait until the ice cream offseason.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking. Plus I'm more apt to spring for a bare-bones fly fishing setup at this point

We had a small financial windfall recently. I had to spend it on new tyres.

Pre-ordered a SNES Classic. WalMart website was taking preorders.

What?! How did I miss this? I have alerts for Best Buy and Amazon. I'm sure we're not far away from those opening.

Got an email 20 minutes ago about it. Nothing on amazon yet.

Still up on Wal Mart. Was able to pre-order one. Boom!

Something tells me there will be many more of these than the NES Classic.

With this being WalMart I'm half expecting them to screw us over somehow.

I'll likely do an Amazon pre-order too as a backup. If both come then I have a great Christmas gift for someone.

I'm looking for a preorder. An odd time for Walmart to announce. FWIW, WalMart.com seemed to get the most NES Classic stock.

I had automatic updates off, but my wii u updated anyway and now homebrew doesn't work. Fuckers.

Bloodborne is so incredibly gorgeous, but these games are annoying. I need a God mode

Lots of great tutorials online. I really need to get back to this. Top 3 game from this generation IMO.

I've been watching videos on the lore and stuff. I love that stuff.

I love how understated and subtle the story/world is. Show, don't tell.
