I played some more today and don't believe I've had any issues with the rumble. Is it constantly rumbling during the game?  Oh, I definitely agree about the visuals.  It's a letdown after the crispness of Arms.

The rumble is unnaturally strong, loudly buzzing the joycons. You have Arms? 😲

I find the rumble to be intrusive in many games, to be honest.  It can get very loud.  This isn't an issue when playing while docked, but if you're holding the Switch up close in handheld mode, it is very noticable.  I've turned it off because of this when playing in bed.

Played 4 levels of Snake pass, tried docked. It looks better docked but is still a pretty blurry game. I've seen Wii U games, the majority of them in fact are sharper and better looking than this.

If this is how UE4 performs on Switch I'm not impressed - and Digital Foundry once again lets me down. Some they get right, some they get wrong. As for the game it's pretty fun, but I'm already feeling the repitition, most levels so far look the same and are just wooden pipes to wrap around. All that differs is the placement of the orbs.

I'm too cheap to spend $20 on skins....though some of those look great.

Edit:  I just assumed it was $20like all the others. Nyaa

I'm sure Nintendo will make an N64 Classic as well. The catalog may be weak but they will most likely have fewer games on it and will quite possibly charge more for it. If the difference between the NES Classic and SNES Classic is anything to go by I can see an N64 Classic having 10 games and priced at $99.

Hmm reached a water stage in Snake Pass. Really enjoying this now. Reminds me of n64 rare games. Like the convoluted snake controls.

N64 is a strange concept because at least in my opinion, about half of the console's top 20 games were made by Rareware and Nintendeo has no access to any of those games anymore except DK64. And you know they wouldn't get the Turok games either. Goldeneye pretty much saved that system and that won't be on it. As a history lesson, an N64 classic would be pretty poor. Total opposite of the Snes classic in terms of vital games.

So they actually released Darksiders: warmastered edition on the Wii U last week. This has got to be the last good game for the system.
Should have just released both games in a collection on the Switch instead.

Fuuuuuu. No mid-level save in Snake Pass. Some levels are tough and quite long. So I can't even switch to a different game for relief. I've been using the switches sleep mode to get through it.

Horizon is badass. By far the best game these guys have made. Blows any and all of the Killzone games away.
Combine tomb raider with zelda and give edge a stiffy.
