Some things are better to be left not known to man.  no

Seriously guys, read the story. There are some cracking jokes.

If you are too lazy to click, basically pornstar Stormy Daniels describes in details how President Trumps Penis looks like Toad from Mario Kart. And the internet goes wild.

Not sure how this will work with multiple accounts though.  What if my son and I own 2 Switches, with both our accounts on either console.  I play a game and my son starts playing the same game on his Switch?  Seems like a system that's ripe for abuse, allowing friends to 'share' games.  I doubt this is what Nintendo has in mind.

You know, whenever I see a Nintendo online FAQ or PR, it's some too long f***ing wall of text that I get bored of reading, one paragraph in. It all sounds too complex and bothersome unless you have an hour to read through and understand every little quirk.

Depends. I guess if I log onto Splatoon and it says I must pay. I must pay I guess.

More importantly my Capcom Beat em up bundle has downloaded. These are some of my most treasured gaming memories. If only they had The Punisher, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Aliens vs Predator too. And that X-men game.

Speaking of classic collections, that Sega one sounds good but I have virtually all of them on Wii.

There are so many ports lately, it's kinda crazy.

Switch firmware update 6.0.0 - video tour

Ok.

So you can log onto your Switch with someone elses account and download the games they bought, for free. And play them. Pretty cool.

Looking forward to picking up that Beat ‘Em Up Bundle as well. I can understand why The Punisher, Aliens vs Predator, and X-Men aren’t in it though due to licensing issues.

That PSOne Classic is pretty cool. Wouldn’t mind getting one myself however I need to see the full list of games. Really lame that they don’t include an AC adapter though. Booo.

Sucks. Sad

What also sucks is how arcade Golden Axe 2 is always hard to find. Even in the Genesis collections it is old lame-o Genesis Golden Axe 2 and not the awesome arcade version. I really need to get my old arcades disc working again. I had all these games but then the display became f-ed up on the new tablet.

I thought the PS1 Classic thing was cool for about 2 and 1/2 minutes. That is an era of gaming the time has not been kind to. Outside of some of Square's RPGs in Symphony of the Night, I can't think of too many games I would want to play on it. maybe some Capcom fighting games, but most of them have since been re-released in collections and such, and probably play a lot better than they did in their PlayStation versions.

Oh, and great job on the news GG.

And look at that PUBG is in all likelihood coming to the PS4. That should be fun. I was playing a lot of that on the mobile version this spring. Would not mind playing it on Console. God knows it will be easier for me to get a hold of them for Fortnight.

surprise

!!!!

Capcom beat em up collection is awesome! Made better by having it digitally on Switch. Now I can play these childhood favourites in bed and on the toilet. Now I always have 2 controllers to hand to play these games anywhere with friends.

The ports are superb, super smooth, crisp picture quality. Arcade perfect. Only problem is the button layout, it doesn't let you customise, but you can flip between control options. The switch joycon buttons are a touch small and cramped together to be able to press two buttons at once for special attacks reliably.

Suprisingly the 4 buttons in lieu of a d-pad actually work all right in this........... and I assume most 2D games aside from ones like Streetfighter which require those rotations - I guess?

This collection has tempted me to buy a few Neo Geo games and maybe even consider the Genesis collection - although I probably wont bite on that.

Purely on the graphics of the 3D games I least. I cannot go there. It's ugly in a way that 8bit, no worse that that.

So pixellated.

With all these mini-consoles it would be cool if Nintendo released all the SNES games from the SNES mini in a bundle for Switch.

Can you imagine carrying around all those Genesis games, all the SNES mini games and the Capcom beat em collection ready to play anywhere with two controllers all good to go? Not to mention the Neo Geo stuff? I wish there were demos for these Neo Geo games. I might get Metal slug when it's on sale again.

The only negative I’ve heard about the Beat ‘Em Up Bundle is that there is horrible lag in the Switch version when playing online. Hopefully that gets fixed.

They’ve been pumping out those Neo Geo games left and right. Now there’s a whole whack of them that I want to get.

Ok.

So you can log onto your Switch with someone elses account and download the games they bought, for free. And play them. Pretty cool.

Yeah, but then you're stuck with their rankings and everythign as well.  It'll be pretty hard to take advantage of if you're trying to share libraries with friends.  It'll be plenty cumbersome just trying to share multiple switches in one household by the sound of it.

[youtube.com]Play games from your Nintendo Account on two Switch units at the same time by turning off wifi on your primary Switch​

You'd think that a company so meticulous in its design phylosophy, so protective of its IP, so clever, would have caught this during testing.  It's like Nintendo Online is a whole seperate company run by monkeys.
