I'm thinking of using switch-mania to finally buy a Wii U if I can find one cheap. I bought Bayonetta 2 when it came out, and I'd like to play the latest Smash and Mario Maker...is it worth buying a defunct system at this point? What say you all?
They started chasing a boat I shot but failed to kill, but I didn't know they could take the goods. Yeah, they can fuck off.
I tried using their horns and teeth to make a recipe, but the result was apparently so grotesque that the game had to censor it with pixels. Still healed for two hearts though![DOUBLEPOST=1488673458,1488673322][/DOUBLEPOST]
Depends how cheap you can find it. Bayonetta 2 is unlikely to get a Switch re-release, so if you're determined to play it, it'll have to be a Wii U eventually. That said, I feel like Wii U's will be cheaper later.

Switch save game data can't be transferred
So, unlike the Wii and WiiU, there's no way to backup your save game data? Hmm... Countdown to when Nintendo reveals that their paid online service will feature cloud sync of save game data?

The Zelda stuff has been spun off into its own thread.

So, I'm walking through my local Wal-Mart today after work, one of the many places I called this morning to see if any new switches had come in, and was given the bad news. But just out of curiosity, I mosey on down to electronics and take a peek.
The switch case is, as expected, empty. But sitting there, pushed to the back, in the WiiU case, is a Switch! I immediately find an employee, have them unlock the case and sell it to me. As I'm walking out, I hear one of the other employees say "You didn't sell that Nintendo Switch, did you? It was supposed to be held for Jeff."
Sucks to be Jeff.

No, I got mine last Saturday, I'm cool with it.
For those who own a Switch and are okay with temporarily giving up some of that cozy 32 gigs:
Hour-long sessions only? That's rather restrictive. What happened to people doing betas an entire weekend?For those who own a Switch and are okay with temporarily giving up some of that cozy 32 gigs:
I had a similar experience. Snipperclips may not take remotely as much advantage of all the motion/gyro-stuff, but it's way more fun than 1,2, and cheaper to boot.
1,2 feels like it should have been included for free as a demo of things the Switch could do. Snipperclips remembered to also be fun.

It actually really looks fun. I'll probably have to show Jun a video or two like you just posted, because as you know, she's really not into games. I think the last game she really enjoyed was Bonticula. Maybe she'll like this too.I know that 1,2 Switch is supposed to be the gateway casual party game, but honestly, I think Snipperclips is way more fun, maybe because it's co-op. @Terrik you should totally play this one with Jun.
Anybody else getting a weird DNS error that just wouldn't go away? Switch wifi networks, no dice?
Here's a tip: turn your switch OFF. Not sleep, OFF. To do that, it can't be docked (mine's been near-nonstop docked since I got it). Take it out of the dock by attaching the joy-cons and pulling it out. Hold down the power button and select the "more options" (or something, can't remember at this instant) part, and it will have a REAL "turn off" option. Do that. Then turn it back on. It'll re-connect to your wifi no problem, and you won't have the error.
I discovered this when I couldn't go to the store, and couldn't update the system. A "true" reboot fixed it, from some advice online. Then Zelda updated too!
So I guess we're back in the 90s where you need to reboot every week or so?
