It looks so much like the Steam Deck, yet the lists of games I’ve found have been oddly anemic for Nintendo, let alone Steam. I guess they’re waiting to announce their blockbuster titles.

The ND is going to start soon.

I am going to get one. Mario Kart World looks like fun. Not quite sure how I feel about the price though.

[Cmaier]

Dammit. I have to buy one, don’t I? No. No I don’t. Stop it, Cliff. Save the money toward the EVF version of the Leica M11. Yeah. Do that instead.

Oh, but my 17 year old will need one for Christmas or her birthday, right? yeah. that’s it.

Maybe they are working on a new entry in the series?

Wario vs Mario -- FINISH HIM!

EDIT:
Link's finishing move could be Navi repeatedly saying "Hey! Listen!" until the opponent's head explodes.

 

[diamond.g]

Well that is an interesting turn, folks are freaking out over game pricing increasing on the nintendo side.
