Hah, Got Doom for $12 and Diablo for $17 at Walmart in-store. And without having to deal with Black Friday rush. Now that's what I call a good deal.

Just as a heads up, retailers are offering the San Disk 400GB micro SD for $80 (normally $400).

What retailers?!? This is important!

Amazon and Best Buy were the one's I saw (bought one from Best Buy).

How the hell did they plug a hardware vulnerability with a software update?

For real though I have no idea.

It has something to do with the way the system boots, but I won't pretend to know the finer details.

Either way, everyone seems more impressed than annoyed that homebrew and modding of the Switch is put on hold for a while it's such a technical achievement.

Yeah, I read the thread a bit. Turns out the Switch contains some sort of specialized security processor (which no-one's figured out how to hack), and the new boot sequence taps that for the boot key. This processor, among other things, refuses to function at all if it notices anything funny going on in the RAM.

My question now is, why didn't it just do that from the start?

So...where is the Youtube app with the new update?

Is it in the E-shop or something?

Hmm. Guess I didn't look hard enough. I didn't see it.

Well, thanks for the tip.

Why is Dragon Ball FighterZ base game on sale but not the one with DLC bundle? :<

Because they want you to pay full price for the DLC.

Trying to decide between some Switch games. I can download two of Iconoclasts, Freedom Planet, and Celeste. I'm leaning towards the former two since I don't like Celeste's artstyle and I hear it's brutally hard. Anyone have any input?

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has the highest preorders of any Switch game and every Smash game.

It deserves it.

Hopefully it beats Let's Go at least this holiday season.

One's one of the best looking, most feature rich titles you can pick up on the Switch from a team of people that easily care a lot about the product they're selling to an audience they respect, the other is not.

I love Smash but that's way too harsh on Pokémon Let's Go. It doesn't deserve the review bombing it's getting from so-called "fans".

I don't think the games are bad. They're average titles that do exactly what they need to do and nothing more.

And there is no where near enough effort put into them in any regard to warrant selling millions of copies world wide as quickly as they have. It's purely brand recognition and nostalgia getting them there.
