Title: The Switch is popular, so now is the age of more useless plastic do-dads..
Post by: Howard_Casto on August 07, 2018, 03:19:15 pm

So I stumbled across this the other day:

Gotta admit, it looks really cool.... to bad it's impossible to play games on it due to the awkward joycon layouts and the fact that you can't use the shoulder buttons.

Can you steal Switch games on it yet?

Can’t believe the author doesn’t know what a Red Tent is...

Author looks like he started gaming when he got his Xbox at the age of 8.

I think you can but I haven't done it because it's one of those deals where you have to be offline only once you start pirating.  Personally I'd just like to get my physical games on there digitally. 

It'd be cool to buy one of those and make a little control panel out of those 20 dollar wired pads you see everywhere.

I like this idea.  Not sure about the execution.  This would be great if they had joysticks instead of joy cons

Nope not yet but you can get a crappy dolphin emulator running and play gamecube games or something.
