Not exactly a console guy anymore (haven’t been since the the end of the PS3 and X360). The companies are keeping their grasp tight on their customers and the ā€œstart up and playā€ era is long gone.

With a big purchase (300 something for the Switch + 50-70 for 1 game + 70+ for a microSD -> 440) like that I’d like it to be more versatile and not limited to a specific selection of games.

Does ā€œsitting in my chair tilted back and with the feet on my deskā€ count?

yeah I mean I do that a fair bit too just depends on how I’m feeling and whether anything has battery because sadly there’s no outlet near my bed at all.

Nintendo is letting full M rated games like DOOM onto the eshop so your selection wont be completely limited

Trying to limit my sources for digital media.
Didn’t Nintendo close the eShop for the Wii/Wii U recently with no way of downloading your purchased games in the future?

Actually the Switch is somewhat resistant to digital market places being closed down compared to other consoles. All game data downloads to the sd card and if you have a 400GB one can just save all the games and transfer them to external media for storage. I’ve offloaded 40GB of games from my sd card to my computer for safe keeping and can load them back whenever i need to.

I’d still go for retail versions. Might be less convenient and even more expensive in some cases but I don’t like the possibility of not being able to have access to what I paid for when a company decides to shut the service down and move on to the next thing.

Netflix already does that by removing shows from its catalog which is the Cable TV equivalent of ā€œstopped broadcasting show Xā€.

Can you load retail games onto your Switch/microSD so you can use them without the cartridge?

nope they load directly from the cartridges, it does load some data onto the internal storage for the game though.

Still not too bad as the game card slot isn’t hard to access like on the Nokia Ngage.


Downloaded and installed most of my game again today.
~570GB. Thank fuck my ISP doesn’t to data caps.

Wolfleben Report:
Slowly coming back to things. Just understand for some places that me coming back will be later because I’ve been very busy with stuff and it takes most of my time. I also have to brace myself for when I go back to those places.

Also the age of Waffle Ben and the Waffle Prophet is over. Full stop. This is a different era.

End report.
