(+) Yeah! (+)

You guys want to explain yourselves?

production was essentially halted, and now nintendo just outright isn't shipping them anywhere.

---

I have nothing to explain

---

I got mine in Jan, so i am fine

---

Waiting for an inevitable remodel. Even if it's a long wait.

I have mine. But my son keeps asking me to play the farm game.[Animal Crossing]

So I figured Id buy him one. But its impossible.

Set him up as a villager on your island for now.

How could they halt an essential service like that?

if they had more more regular switches instead of the liteswitch it wouldn't be as much of a problem
---

Actually yeah get your kid a Switch Lite. Exert your dominance over the TV.

You can do that?

Such a simple game, and yet so complex.

Exactly.

Make a 2nd profile on your Switch. He can play on your island as a villager, but you'll be the main Island Representative so he can't make any of the major decisions on the island.

It doesnt matter. Now my daughter is asking for one too.

Might as well just buy two friggin Switch Lites.

Can't record your gameplay on switch lite tho , just saying . I record , so for me it was a major mistake to get one .

I don't even know how to record with the switch. I can do it on the other two, but not the switch...

Press and hold the umm...circle button? The one directly across from the Home button. It only records 30-second clips. I don't know if Dreamgamer was talking about capture card recording.

Oh. I know that. But I mean like full games. Like more than 30 seconds at a time. Haha.

Yeah that requires a capture card setup.

I'd like Amazon to explain why seller accounts are deactivated for inactivity

I didn't scalp anything, but I'm ok with selling my personal use Switch and Oculus for a $200 profit too.

I impulse bought one on launch day when my local stores were out of Breath of the Wild for Wii U but still had Switch consoles and Breath of the Wild for Switch.

I thought I'd regret it but it's probably the best console I've ever owned. I've played it at least 10 times longer than my PS4, which was basically just a MGSV and Skyrim Special Edition machine.
