Jesus fuck, I nearly had a seizure just watching the video. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? I really hope that the background stays static, at which point it might be tolerable. If the whole screen moves, as in a few of those clips, it's a big nope from me.

Because Crypt of the NecroDancer is a rhythm game roguelike and Cadence is the main character.
I actually think you can play the game without the rhythm component, but I dont't think it removes the hopping, but I don't remember.

Yeah I got the vauge idea based on the name... and figured it was something to do with rythems.. But just watching the screen it was more jarring than one would expect imo. I get the idea, but the ENTIRE game... argh

Next gen Pokemon game is called Pokemon Sword/Shield and takes place in the Galar region. Late 2019.
Trailer:
That trailer was extremely underwhelming for such a huge leap from 3DS to Switch. GameFreak continues to be lazy, I see. Not doing much to renew my interest, in addition to the absolutely transparent scam known as Switch Online.
Guess all I have to look forward to in 2019 for this system is Fire Emblem.
Very unimpressed with the games released for this system, honestly. I think I maybe have 4 games and Youtube. That's it.

from WSJ/ERA, rumors of two new switch models introduced at E3:
PapaGenos said he was told info about new Switch models too a few days ago.
-Reveal to be at E3 2019
-2 new Switches planned for a holiday 2019 release
Portable version
-cheaper clamshell joyconless Switch
-focus on single player experience
-dock closer to original 3DS charging cradle
-price around $199.99
Now info on the Enhanced version
-Nintendo Switch Plus or Nintendo Switch Deluxe will replace current Switch
-not 4K capable
-Nvidia Pascal architecture and overall Doc design similar to Tegra X2 SoC. 256 CUDA cores
-larger display panel
-still 720p resolution
-8 GB of RAM
-128 GB of storage
-price aiming for $349.99
i'd be bummed if they introduced a more powerful switch, no games would use it but i'd still want one. wonder if they would have integrated bluetooth (headset), the lack of audio bluetooth on the switch is bizarre

If you have an amazon prime account you will get 1 year FREE of nintendo switch online
https://twitch.amazon.com/prime/loot/nintendo/
you get a 3 month freebie now, have to login with your nintendo switch account (does not have to be online-active already) and then in 60 days you can login back to that twitch page above and add another 9 months.
It turns on auto renewal so you will get billed in 3 months if you don't turn that off. Turn off auto renewal here
ec.nintendo.com
It does ask for a credit card (or paypal) when you sign up, I used a $0 balance visa gift card so nintendo can't fuck me over if I forget.

I'd rather have a newer Tegra Chip no screen/battery, redo the dock too just be a straight up Console and a pro controler, drop the price by 50-75$ and I'd buy one guess just get over the fact that Nintendo will probably never do 1080p content *sigh*

Should be an option. I like the portability of it, but there’s no reason that they couldn’t sell a docked mode console as well for people that don’t care about taking it places.
