Just make sure you buy one in a red box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Alright then, back to playing Portal 2; never got around to this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Just checked the stats, impressive! Quote The new model will include approximately two extra hours of battery life, bringing the estimates of usage to between 4.5 and 9 hours. Nintendo's current Switch has an estimated battery life of between 2.5 and 6.5 hours Edited September 25, 2019 by Teh_Diplomat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just can't see myself getting the Lite, and then a joycon glitches out and now I'm really screwed. fair enough, i don't want to fiddle with the docking mechanic. as for the analog failure, i hope they are rare incidents, if not i hope they fix it soon. 13 minutes ago, DynamiteCop! said: If you're going to get one there's really no reason to ever get the lite unless you're broke. Why would you remove that much potential function for $100? Totally not worth it. like above mentioned. and i prefer a handheld. the extra power doesn't interest me at all. and im not broke.

It's not about power you legit can't play certain games, you don't have HD rumble, you have no option to ever use it on a TV. It just seems like a shitty purchasing decision.

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Also, I assume that picking up a 128GB MicroSD card is sufficient if you're getting most of your AAA titles as a physical copy, no?

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) And to add to that, I figure 3 games is more than enough to start - given their time required to complete, which I feel I will; so here are my choices: Zelda: BoTW Super Mario Maker 2 Fire Emblem: 3 Houses + Pro Controller (seems to be the consensus that it's worth the money) Edited September 26, 2019 by Teh_Diplomat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I buy most of my titles physical. Those three games should take up more than enough of your free time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The joy cons are trash and the controller is the only way to get around that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only buy indies and smaller stuff digital. 128 would last you all gen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
