Tempted to get a Switch 1 to continue my pattern of owning (having owned, really) every other (major NA-released) Nintendo hoke console: NES, N64, Wii, and now the Switch.

Is the regular Switch (not lite — that's a handheld, and I've never owned a gaming handheld other than an iPod touch 3rd gen, and phones) going on sale?

Some more #RetroGaming and #art together here.

This picture is of the original #Kirby team asked to draw their creation.

And BTW, that’s Masahiro Sakurai front center, Satoru Iwata back center, and Shigeru Miyamoto back right. Miyamoto was already famous for creating Donkey Kong, Mario, and Zelda; Sakurai went on to create Super Smash Bros. and many other games; and Iwata would go on to become CEO of Nintendo. All legends of #Nintendo and the industry

Reading news about the Switch 2's pricing in terms of the console and the games itself, it makes me think two things:

1. Video games as a hobby is getting stupidly expensive, to the point where it's getting quite hard to justify it. The only real exception at the moment is PC gaming (lots of sales)

Many are complaining/wondering about the ability to play mouse games without a table on Switch 2 in bed. No one is forcing you to play a mouse-centric game. And I’m sure you can still use motion controls. After all, you won’t be buying all the games.
