I presume they're doing it this way to help avoid scalpers. It seems stupid that they have to resort to this, but.. .. well, we've seen how that shit goes. I'm not sure I'd qualify. Though I do pay for the "Online", I tend to just use it to play the old games, and get the expansion goodies. Also, it's barely been played for the past year or so, except for Mum's Puyo Puyo Tetris sessions! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

You can "request an invite" over on the Amazon, though I'm not sure if they're including the Mario Kart bundle there. Also, not sure if it's actually for everyone or just Prime. No idea!

My son who's a big Nintendo fan (a proper one) said this morning he's going to pass on this one. At least for now. The cost of the console and carts partially, but also that some carts are not going to contain the game but instead activate a download? Is that true? -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

I haven't specifically read that anywhere, but .. Let's be honest, there's already been a bunch of third-party Switch games that have practically done that already. Wasn't it Spyro Trilogy that only had one of the games on the cart? It's the way gaming's been headed for a long time. Interesting to see, though, that the prices that are listed have a nice discount for Digital versions. It's about bloomin' time that started happening. But.. yeah.. Even those are a hefty hike. I would hope that those are only the prices for the bigger games. .. I hope. Meanwhile..I wrote a waffle about mouses, in this morning's blog.-=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

The Harry Potter game was the same. I've done some digging, there's a key thing. If you see that it means you get a box (and a cart? ) but it's a download. Possibly be cheaper. Possibly that some games will come in both formats. I think the most expensive download game I've bought on the Switch comes under £20 and most under £10. I can't see me spending £40, £50 or more on a download. -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

Interesting about the mouse. I can see a parallel with the DS touchscreen and stylus. We'll likely get a load of poorly thought out experiments using a mouse control with the odd gem as an exception, then it'll calm down and mouse controls will be available when it makes sense. I don't know how people use a touch pad on a laptop for anything other than gestures. I mean I see people doing it and it's amazing as they move and control it elegantly and precisely but when I do it's like I'm wearing boxing gloves and it all goes to pot resulting in a lot of hand cramp. No matter how much I try it's not for me unfortunately. Mouse on the sofa is fine, in my case. And my laptops have been the 2 in 1's with touch screens and pens which I'm much better with. -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

Yeah, it becomes second nature after a while. One thing I always do is disable the "touch to tap", because as I scroll around, and constantly lift/drop/lift/drop my finger, it causes all manner of chaos. Give me a solid "Click", and I'm fine. All my Windows laptops had specific clicky-mouse-buttons for that reason. When switching to the Mac I dreaded losing that, but .. I definitely shouldn't have. People have probably said a lot that MacBook trackpads are "something else", but.. .. MacBook trackpads are .. Something else!! Oddly, I rarely use gestures. The Pinch-Zoom is pretty much it. *shrugs* But, yeah, hopefully the "enforced Mouse gimmick" will disappear soon enough, and we'll just get good games. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Pretty cool that the S1 pro controller will work with the S2. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68426

Yay! Glad to see that's safe on the backwards compatibility list! I'm hoping Triston has received his also today!

How's the battery holding up? That was a disappointment on my Switch (the original), I remember going to the airport to pick someone up and the battery didn't last the wait  I play plugged in these days.

I haven't yet had a long enough play session, I'm afraid. Dribs and drabs between code sessions and helping with a fountain... > Reveal 🔎 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
