A bunch of old indie games?
This is what the Vita was for me and I'm finding the Switch is hitting that too. Those types of games are perfect for the device. Not to say that I won't go hog wild on Mario Odyssey.
Indie games I need on Switch that I played a lot on Vita: Ollie Ollie 2, the Hotline Miami's, and Rogue Legacy.
and GOD DAMN SPELUNKY
I did everything I wanted to do in that game in ~ 45 hours but YMMV. It's great for playing in short 20 minute sessions or for devoting all day to it.

Switch really is Vita 2.0, or Vita X if we're accurate to 2017.
I dont get the knock against ports on the Switch.
More games = good for Switch owners
Interest in devs porting games= good for Switch owners
The I already played this on another console thing so let me knock this, is super lame
Wanna guess how many threads would pop up if RDR were to ever release on PC? Just because you've played something, doesnt mean everyone has.

I think the knock was more against the fact that for a good chunk of time there, the only thing coming out on the switch were ports

Ports on the switch are good but theyre generally nothing to get excited about.
RDR on PC would be incredible for a bunch of reasons.

yeah, the website design took a hit when they had to redesign it after being bought by CBS.
the new website design can't come soon enough.

Now I have to decide, do I continue my playthrough of Stardew on PS4 where I only got to the end of the second season in Y1, or start fresh on Switch?
Isnt Stardew on Switch the only one with multiplayer? Like people get excited for different things

I once used windex to clean the back of a game a friend let me borrow back in high school.
No, the PC version will have multiplayer first. There is no MP in any version right now.
It WAS supposed to be out for summer, and yet here we are. /salty

people yelling 'ports' very obviously misunderstand how dire the wii u release schedule was
also any game coming to switch is inherently unique because it's now portable

I got through Y2 on PC but I'm just gonna restart on the Switch

I find it funny that the switch is currently in a similar scenario with the Vita re: ports and all that stuff but yet everyone will be crapping on the Vita instead. LOL
For me the appeal of the switch is doing what the Vita was unable to do which is having quality 1st Party software and not the things it could also do.

Week saved.
It's because there's visibly other games coming out on it that they want.
Meanwhile the Vita was (and still is) actually getting a decent number of good games that aren't indie ports. It's just that they're Japanese games that not everybody's interested in.
East with the good content

I'm guessing it depends on when Jeff and Brad are available after they finish things up today.
I'm really surprised the domain was available. Thought someone would've bought it to sell fashionable pants for dogs or something like that.
Vinny. The answer is Vinny.
Going by some posts here, a little of both?

They better use Coldheart for the Skulls. It has got tons of ammo and its very easy to hit.

Even if they leveled everyone up, they still have to execute. I'm rooting for them!
He seemed to make it pretty clear on Friday that he was not going to be involved in tonight's proceedings.

They should use swords only.
We don't know what was decided from their slack discussion over the weekend. Someone's gonna have to archive and upload the stream to the site.
It'll probably be Jeff.
It's okay, you can still use videogames.com if that's your preference! Or nuke.com, or snakesnakesnake.com or

For me, its that all those ports are of games that came out years ago and re-re-re-rereleased (Binding of Issac re-after-ultramega birth deluxe-EA Alpha +AZ) and also the fact that most of those games are already bargain bin on other platforms and up priced for Switch, and the fact that in the case of Doom, it's such an inferior port. with it stripped and capped at 30FPS. To me that screen is way too tiny to even remotely think about it being portable.
Maybe it's just me, but I haven't undocked my Switch other than launch day. I don't do portable systems. playing games on a tiny screen with the hand cramping joycons are one of the worst ways to play video games I've ever had.
