As the first reply to that first article states, USB drives would be a stupid idea, as it would mean leaving your saves behind when switching (hah!) to mobile play.  Micro SD card support is great though.

From San Francisco International you can catch a shuttle to Bart, the Bay Area Rapid Transit. I don't know how expensive it is but it has a fairly decent reputation of being able to get people where they need to go.


And Bugs is pretty right on about New York. Subways will more less take care of you.

Not sure about San Francisco as I went there by car, but you can definitely get from JFK to anywhere in NYC on the subway once you use the shuttle train to get to the subway terminal.  You may need to connect more than one line but it shouldn't be a problem if you are familiar with the London Underground.

Thanks guys. We'll be lugging round massive suitcases though. So many station changes is not a great idea. We were thinking one shuttle/train from the airport to further into the city, then cab from there?

You could have game saves on the unit itself.

But then update data can be hefty and needs to be on the unit. Can't leave that behind. But for people who want to just use it at home all the time, external HDD support would be good.

They should also do a screenless normal unit at a cheaper price about a year after it launches.

You mean a crappy android console?  I'd rather when you think of Nintendo you think of thiem along with Sony and MS, not AppleTV and Nvidea Shield.

Capcom may have dropped a big fat hint as to when the Switch launches in Japan and a possible launch title. They just announced Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) will be released on March 18 for the 3DS. Seems odd to launch a big name title like that for the 3DS when the system's predecessor is due to launch around the same time....unless of course there's a version that's also coming out for said predecessor.

Yeah, I saw it too.  A new Monster Hunter would make for a killer launch game, even if it's just an 'Ultimate' version.

I think that's what it will be, and I'm fine with that. Haven't played X, so I'm happy to wait for this. Plus, Wii U had an Ultimate Monster Hunter game in its launch window. I'm all for making this a traditional.

I'd definitely love for some Monster Hunter action on the Switch.

So the Switch's screen is 6.2 inches, 720p, and is also a touch screen. Interesting.

Just saw the new ep of Walking Dead.

First episode where I've thought, I really don't want to watch this. Just felt like violence for the sake of violence. Really offputting.

Capcom are releasing Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles Collection for Switch. They're saying this is a test to see if the Switch audience would like a port of Resident Evil 7.

Anyone know about travelling from airports to hotels in New York and San Francisco?

The cab fare seems expennsive, especially given the exchange rate now for the UK pound. Is there a train or subway service from JFK to Chelsea, Manhatten?

How much is it? What's it called etc.

I hear there is some train in San Fran that goes from the airport into the centre of the city?

San Fran and New York City.....the two dirtiest areas in all of the USA. Insanely expensive....stay away.

I like this...really wish Sony designed the stick placement this way like everyone else does.

That's not true. Detroit and New Orleans are both dirtier.

Oblivion's better than Skyrim and should have been remastered

LOL no it's not....not even close. But it is a great game and I'd take a remaster. But once again all these fucking modern day gaming journalists who probably never played Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind fail to realize its STILL the best game in the series & deserves to be fully remade.

I forgot about New Orleans...really nobody should even live there. Should have been left as marshlands like everything around it instead of wasting money rebuilding it every time there's a hurricane. There's a handful of really shitty areas in the USA. Mostly around the coasts.

Best description of New Orleans I've ever heard was, "the world’s most cultured ghetto."
