That could just as well be an original Switch.  I hope it has at least a few excentric surprises, or this will be a boring-ass upgrade.  At least release it in GC purple Nintendo!

Surely they've learnt from the Wii U disaster that they have to differentiate it enough, even through marketing that this is not just a Switch pallette swap. (For the general population not us nutty enthusiasts).

Got my new steam deck. Will post a hardware review, probably not tonigh, today was long and disjointed. Drove 4 hours in total to work at two sites from 0500 through until 1600. We've also had over 14 inches of rain in two days which makes it interesting travelling on regional roads. All my dams are overflowing (for those not in the know that's not a metaphor, on my farm we have six dams).

If Ubi sinks I personally won't miss them, but a shinking publishing/development pool is not good for the hobby generally speaking.

Couldn't agree more.

You're really not joking, the Indiana Jones' tagline shows an unussually snarky Aspro  

MS: Indy Jones Delayed Launch on PS5 is a Production Issue Sorry for the inconvenience, we really are prostitutes, but there is a very long line.

The last thing we needed was a 'photo' button on each joycon.  My Switch's memory is already swamped in accidental pictures of random stuff my kids take whenever they game.

Indiana Jones impressions. It's fantastic, I love it. Its nothing like Uncharted, no constant gun play, just slow , almost leisurely, exploration. But there's so much to explore, so many secrets and mysteries to uncover. You keep pressing on because you want to see whats next or how to progress. Its a very different type of Metroidvania.

Troy Baker nails the tone, inflections , the whole energy of Harrison Ford's voice and mannerisms. I dare say this is his best voice work, or at least tied with Joel from TLoU. The game world is so good that I am nearly eight hours into this and just now started the second major set piece. I'm thinking that this will certainly be my goty.

Some more Mario & Luigi Brothership impressions: Things aren't improving.  Side missions are basic.  They're not even fetch quests.  It'll be stuff like 'check up on NPC this in island that'.  So you travel there, which is like 3 minutes at most, you talk to them and presto: side mission completed!  Main missions aren't much better.  There's a puzzle where you need to find a code to open a gate.  There's an NPC with a speachbubble above his head, you talk to him, he tells you about some paper in some room.  you go to the one other room you can enter, and all of a sudden there's this icon on the floor that wasn't there before.  It's just lazy design.  There's no exploring, as there's nothing of interest anywhere.  The writing is still dull and princes peach's garbling voice sounds way off.

I guess the only positive thing I can say about it so far is that my youngest son is loving it.

They're currently talking about 'ragebaiting' on the radio at the moment.

I honestly don't think I could be ragebaited. Other peoples opinions are just that. They have no influence on my contentment. If as a creator you are dumb enough that you cannot stimulate thought that you have to be intentionally provocative, I merely feel sorry for yhem and even more for the progressively dumb people that listen to them.
