There's Got To Be A Twist

 

I was "given" a Nintendo Switch 2 as a gift this past weekend. I'm enjoying it so far, and it is not lost on me that I got my first Switch (Lite) just short of six years ago.

I don't have any pictures to post right now like I did before, but I plan to get some screenshots and write a bit more about it in a few weeks.

When I got the Switch, I was about 2 1/2 years into the life of the thing, so there was a pretty good selection of games to choose from, and I'd say I snagged some good ones to go with it right out of the gate. The Switch 2 was the Mario Kart World bundle and I snagged a copy of Bravely Default, which I enjoyed on the 3DS, and really want the opportunity to go through again. I haven't gotten the chance to actually start that one yet, but I've been playing some Mario Kart and Animal Crossing.

Yes, I started another island.

I re-read my post from my first day with the original Switch Lite, and I must say. I'm disappointed that I haven't managed to play through FFXII yet. I don't use the Lite much anymore, that has been taken over by other people in my house, and the digital versions of games start to get a little weird when you have more than two consoles. I should probably start looking for a cartridge for that one. And maybe, you know, actually play the game.

But I digress.

And forgot what I was going to write.

Why Can’t We Be Friends

Today has been a day full of surprises.  I ended up getting the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack…Mostly so the wife could play Golden Axe.  I’m also typing this into a MS Works Word Processor document that is being saved to the cloud…That is a slightly weird thing to me.

Anyway, back to the Nintendo.

Last month they added Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games to the online offerings.  

 

Along with some sweet, sweet controllers that I cannot buy right now, mostly due to them being out of stock.  I was originally going to wait until March whatever, my subscription renewal date to sign up and buy the controllers, but we ended up going ahead with a few months early.  So far the Genesis games seem to all work with no real sort of drama.  Unsure about Nintendo’s offerings, but time will tell.

Granted, I have been playing an awful lot of Zelda on the NES and SNES the last few weeks.
 

 

I will stand by my initial declaration that the Nintendo Switch is the best way to play games you already own…In some cases, games you’ve owned for decades.
