Firstly no European media outlets have reported it, only Americans. Also it's been discovered that using the charging grip increases the joycons range seemingly by boosting the signal strength. Gaf has speculated that the joycons could be using a low power signal output and that an update could fix that. But wouldn't that mean a lower battery for the joycons which is currently 20 hrs.
Do you have Game Fly up in Canada? Could always rent it.
I'm going to hold off on Zelda until I get a Switch. It doesn't even bother me since I have a gazillion games to play and the new Mass Effect is right around the corner. And Ghost Recon....damn that looks good.
Rent? Ewwww!
There might be a Game Fly here, or something equivalent. I stopped renting back in the early days of the previous gen though. I don't have time to play all the games that I want to own so I just don't even bother renting any more.
It probably does. I don't know why but it feels such a long time since I've played this game.
What a day next Friday is going to be. You'll have the Switch, Zelda BotW, and Logan all coming out on the same day.
Logan looks amazing. I definitely want to see it, which is funny because I don't really care for the other two wolverine movies.
Yeah it does feel like it came out ages ago...was it 2014? Anyway, the game is kind of a mind trip compared to RE. The story reminds me more of a Silent Hill, but it is all over the place.
I COULD get one now, but I'm saving for a Disney vacation.

Those matching Joycons do look sweet. Perhaps I should go for a neon console after all... Also very happy about the snipperclips Joycon bundle. That game was a certain purchase for me anyway, as were extra Joycons. I find it pretty crazy though that Nintendo would be packing in a 3rd party indie game with their hardware. A first, as far as I can recall.
Joy-Cons will charge on Switch even when the system isn't plugged in, as long as the battery is full enough
Of course they would. There's nothing Nintendo could do to prevent this from happening, it's just how electronics work. when 2 batteries are connected, they'll always strive to be in balance, draining on to load the other.
Jesus. Just saw this episode of Timeless where they went back in time and met Americas first serial killer. So I read up on him https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Holmes anfd...... wtf???!!!!!
Yep, October 2014. I had no idea it was out that long ago. Hell, for some reason I'm surprised that the PS4 was around that long ago. It still feels like the new console to me. Anyway, it's definitely Silent Hill and RE4's baby. The mind fuck moments get super confusing, but I'm just going to try and power through them and not try to figure anything out. Got a feeling I'm not going to see anything coming as far as what really might be happening. Or whatever... Still very fun though.
RIP, Bill Paxton.
Bill Paxton nooooo.
WTF!? Bill Paxton died? What happened?
Nooooooooooooo! How sad. R.I.P. Bill.
I'll always remember him as the used car salesman in True Lies.
