No, not that I can recall. Nyaa

I think Foolz was all over that game. Ah yes, just found his review:

Schweet!

Reading momentarily.

But seriously guys, check the demo for Agatha Christie Murder on the Orient Express.

It's in a new style and feels very modern compared to most adventure games.

New battery get.

Smaller, lighter, doesn't get too hot like the other one.

It's twice as thick but because it's smaller my hands never even come into contact or feel it.

So the 20w PD USB C is what you're looking for, it does positively charge switch 2 when in use.

Now I have 3x the overall battery life.

I could have bought a 10'000 mah one for even more power but I wanted something that wouldn't make handling switch too heavy.

Foolz review was good.

I don't think the game is as buggy on switch. Though the framerate would wobble. Really need to try it on switch 2.

I only played the Book of Unwritten tales 2.

It was very good but had a cliffhanger ending so didn't satisfy me as much as I thought it would. Still, it's so cheap I have no regrets from buying it.

After testing and seeing lots of Switch games improved on switch 2, I've come to the conclusion that Mclassic will still be an excellent tool for playing.

Switch 2 boosts resolution and framerate to their theoretical imposed cap. But not beyond, unless it gets a patch like Mario Odyssey etc.

But most games aren't patched, and have caps in place.

Doom for instance has a 720p 30fps cap on switch 1, but it uses DRS and the framerate isnt locked to 30.

On Switch 2 the DRS means it will almost certainly be locked 720p resolution with no drops and will keep its 30fps cap at all times.

So using the Mclassic it will boost the output resolution to 1440p which is better than 2k (I only recently realised that 1440p is NOT 2k, it's better)

And Mclassic won't have a lack of resolution to deal with, when the dynamic resolution scaling brings some Switch 1 games down to a soupy mess.

Also a youtuber showed that using Mclassic and the 4k Gamer Pro device together could yield better image quality that switch 2 does natively.

Splatoon summer artwork, just so good.

All the other artwork comes nowhere close to Splatoon art.

This is what you're missing if you don't use the Nintendo today app.

Played a bit of Donkey Kong Bananza last night and the game looks and plays very well. The destructibility aspect is pretty impressive as well.

Honestly after using an external clip on battery I think this is the way future handhelds should work.

You use your handheld battery, then clip on the small one to recharge which adds weight to the console.

But when it's done you take it off and the console is back to a lighter weight.

If they put in a larger, heavier battery your handheld will be permanently too heavy.
