I think I tried to open the game a few too many times because the message changed from the standard “please check the eshop for more info” to a slightly more stern tone with “repeatedly attempting to open the game will not enable you to play it sooner”

I finally cracked, y’all. I went out and got a Switch Lite. I had to settle for the dark blue because my local shop was out of Yellow. I also got Pokemon Sword cause I guess if I’m going to cave in on one thing I was holding out on, I might as well really crumple and go for two.
I just figured I was never going to use the thing docked, and I’ve seen a few videos online where it looks easy enough to replace thumbsticks if they start to drift.
I shelled out for the Switch Online thing, seems like it’ll be worth it I guess? Why the heck not it’s only $20.

I fully anticipate playing mostly Nintendo exclusives and maybe a smattering of retro/indie stuff, I’m okay with that.

I bought Splatoon 2 two years ago and played it for like 5 hours. A friend visited a few weeks ago and was like, hey play this with me. Since then, I’ve put in like 30 hours into the game. I’m fuckin’ hooked (which I think I’m not supposed to be?).

Overall gotta say I’m pretty enamored of this silly little gaming device. It feels good in my hands, the UI isn’t quite as awful I’ve come to expect from a modern game console. The SNES/NES Nintendo Online things are objectively a Bad Value in a world where emulation exists but I don’t mind have a curated set of ROMs on this thing ready to boot up whenev.
I put a 256GB SD card in this thing, but I anticipate mostly buying physical games for this system, as a contrast to my PS4 spending habits which have been almost solely digital throughout the life of the console.

Outside of you can sell them later why the physical games? Switch physical has only been a hassle for me.

A little bit of me misses the Physical Media Ownership Experience but CD/DVD were always such miserable formats compared to old cartridges. These little game cards aren’t great but at least the cases are small.
Trials of Mana digital price is stubbornly anchored to $50 more than a year later whereas you can get a physical copy for $20-30, so that’s one reason at least.
