You have the remake though?Is the OG still appealing? I wish they would put gyro aiming in. All the other RE games on Switch, played on switch 2 are locked 60fps with gyro.
I've owned it for ages but never tried it. It got good reviews.
They're going for at least €300 here. And I doubt I'll fill up 512GB all too fast. Seemed like the sweet spot.
Pssssj, I played the Metroid Prime Remake with original GC controls enabled.
So by the time one has bought a Switch 2, a pro controller, a memory card and a game they are looking at 1000 euro/bucks spent? Seems very expensive to me.

Turns out she absolutely loved it, which makes sense, because she does share in the twisted sense of humor that flows through most of the family. Anyway, it's now been decided that at the next visit, I'm giving her my PS4 so that she can play the game anytime she wants.
It's an investment in the future! Though one I'm not willing to make myself.
Indeed. In the very near future this will have seemed like a real bargain.
You're looking at it backwards. I'm actually doing some great savings because I can just keep using my old Switch1 joycon for multiplayer. That's €240 saved.
I can also use my old pro cobtroller. Another €70 saved!
And what little value that remains will be covered by the ever rising prices of RAM and GPU's. By the time the Switch2 reaches end of life, those will have become so scarce I'll be able to sell my Switch2 for the price of a small car!
It's 60fps and though I cant count pixels it looks 4k and the textures are very crisp too. Game feels very nostalgic, for fans.
For me playing an old game like this it feels a bit simplistic to me, so I'll stick with Octopath for the time being.
Crazy. Although I played with gyro only when locked on or aiming. I learned too late how to enable totally awesome wii controls.
I used those for prime 4. I've worked out through playing various games, you don't need a gyro centre reset button. You just enable use of the right stick plus motion aiming. You naturally center the screen with the stick as you turn.
I chose MK World as my bundled game and it was only £30.
You can also get Cyberpunk and Star Wars Outlaws for £30 to £35
I don't bother with a pro controller. You can get s 256gb card for £40 but I haven't bothered yet.
Nintendo's big FU for me was not letting me use my old micro sd cards for Switch 1 games.
I have seen the error of my ways. Hope there is still time for me to invest in some Wii2 stock!

I finally slept two full nights in my bed instead of the recliner. I'm feeling better overall but still sick. We got 6 inches of snow last night, so I cleared a small path in the backyard for my dog. My lungs literaly told me in their language of pain, "STOP YOU FOOL!"
Fuck the flu.
I stopped and called out of work today. There's no way I could dig out my car. Stupid dog sniffed the area I cleared a couple of times, then jumped in the deep snow to pee.
Dammit Nintendo! They’re really trying to get me to subscribe to the Expansion Pass of their online service.
I'm probably heading back to Penang. Taking the nephew to Asia for the first time.
I have never been to Asia. I would like to. Believe it or not what happened to you on your India trip many years ago has affected many of my decisions for travelling destinations.
My winter holiday was in Tenerife. Other than flying in to the south airport, I spent the entire time in the north of the island. It is truly incredible, particularly if you like geology and hiking like me. The only disappointment was that I was not able to summit El Teide (my primary reason for wanting to go there) because they weren't allowing people up due to the weather (too windy for the cable car). You will need to get a rental car as the public buses are very infrequent and you will need to drive quite a bit to see most of the great places. If it wasn't such hard work (and so expensive) to get to and fro I would consider going back.

And then later this year, my wife and I are going to start visiting a couple different cities across the country. Try to pin down where we're going to move once we are ready to get out of Florida for good.
I'm hoping to make it to Chicago this year but nothing is set in stone yet. We planned a trip to England and Paris. However, I put in new AC/heating inits that wiped that out. Hopefully, next spring.
