My main playing time is weekend nights. Around 4-5 hours, or if I am free on Friday night too, then twice that. This is generally when I sit on couch and play on PS5.

Other than that, I just play Switch in 15mins-1hour bits, whenever I am not doing anything.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

There is no issue with selling them. The issue is with cloning the games, selling them, and then keep playing them, which is basically pirating the content.

Nintendo still shouldn't ban the buyers, but this isn't about not allowing resale after you have played or gotten bored of the game.

Don't know what their message was that they deleted, but I play tons of third party games on Switch. It's my go-to for any indies, or long RPGs. Even for general gaming, as long as the performance and visuals aren't a major downgrade from other consoles, I prefer to play that on Switch.

Well, launch year sales are generally by enthusiasts. I got one cause I love my Switch, and my wish for Switch 2 was faster and better Switch, which is exactly what they gave us. So, bought it as soon as I could.

As for games, looking forward to Donkey Kong Bananza, not to mention I have a many Switch 1 games that I have yet to play, so don't have any shortage of games.

Wow, that's a long list, will have to go through it slowly.

Stella looks interesting. Recently we have been playing Dixit, and it's pretty fun. Would be interesting to play a different take on same principles.

Yeah, as a casual player who just play it solo or with family at home, it's fun.

Wish it had open-world roaming in split screen too.

For future games yeah, but there's a huge Switch 1 library that a banned system can play but bricked system can't.

Also funnily enough, I believe they can safely play the "backed-up" games offline, that originally got the Switch banned. 😀

Not necessarily. Switch 2 seems to be using the same eshop at the backend, just like PS5 and PS4 use the same system, so don't think Switch eshop will be shutting down soon.

But yeah, eventually they will shut it down.

Unless the game is delisted, which happens very rarely, or they shutdown Switch 1 eshop, which shouldn't happen for quite a while, I don't think there's any reason why you won't be able to download them again.

Of course if you are using modded Switch, that's another issue.

Just to clarify, the console wasn't bricked, only banned from online use. Which also means banned from accessing eshop or downloading any updates. But physical games that doesn't require online would work fine.

Not that this is fine, shouldn't be banned for this either, but just clarifying the bricking part.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is on my wishlist, but I never watched Power Rangers when I was a kid, so don't really have that nostalgia factor. Hope the game is good enough to stand on it's own.

Congratulations on completing TotK!

Nice. Love the old BG games, and Icewind Dale. Haven't touched them in over a decade though, so no idea how they hold up now.

My family got renewed interest in Animal Crossing recently too. Can't wait for the next one.

How are you liking Mario Kart World? People are kind of divided on it.

You need to save and verify your phone number, for that you have to choose your country. So, if your country is not in the list, you can't save and verify your number and can't use gamechat.

I don't know how many countries are missing, but its probably the ones where Nintendo doesn't have an official presence / eshop.

I set up Ubuntu for my somewhat non-technical brother (not as non technical as you mentioned, but not someone who will ever open CLI), and they used it happily until their laptop got too old and they had to change (5-7 years, even upgraded to next LTS once)

So, I will vote for something stable and mainstream like that. Set up steam on that, and they should be good to go.

Are you using it? Have been meaning to get it for a little while.

Yeah, I haven't played many of their games, but loved what I have played. Looking forward to Gothic 1 remake.

Yeah, it was the release of the third game that pushed me to finally get the first one 😀
