Yeah just look away, and pretend it's perfectly applied. Should be good to go lmao. I do wanna get tempered glass though, soon I guess.

Atm Switch collecting dust, because i'm just waiing for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Just playing Persona 5. I do get back in Zelda from time to time, already finished the game though. Love to go up the mountain and skate down, fun as f.

Same, waiting for more games, so I'm just playing a bit of Zelda daily, not rushing to finish. Also really can't wait for Street Fighter and ARMS, mainly due to how much fun it would be at family gathering. Instant pop-up tournaments lol.

MK8d old game port, SF2 also old game port remastered, ARMS doesn't seem to worth RM260 unless it has a full campaign story mode and not just offline bots tournament, still very mixed about Splatoon 2 might get this one but RM260 is also too painful for it. Seems like my Switch will collect dust until december for odyssey.

A looooot of very nice and fun indie games in between releases, but I have indie games phobia nowadays because as soon as I buy them, the next month of PS+ or humble bundle will surely include them.

Actually Street Fighter 2 has been reworked from ground up. The timing is actually very different, from what I have been reading. Of course, they are using older character animations though.

ARMS apparently is slightly more complex than it looks, based on reports. Not like Wii Boxing, there is some strategy involved. To me, it is actually very similar to Virtual-ON Cybertrooper (anyone remember this in arcades with the twin sticks?). I really hope Sega releases Virtual On on Switch, the joycons are perfect.

Lastly, the secret ingredient for the above two games, instant multiplayer matchups, which is the beauty of Switch. To me, the games are worth the price, if this is what you buy it for. Agreed, if one is more of a solo game player, not really worth the purchase I guess.

The only reworked part I saw was the game more with that extremely gimmicky bullshit of doing Hadouken and Shoryuken motion with the Joycons. The core game itself is older than some of the folks here, and have been graphically reworked so many times, I lose count of how many times and what "Super Ultra Mega EX Alpha Beta Ultimate Challenger" Edition have been milked by Capcom. This game is USD19.99 at most to me, anything beyond that is a tough sell. Hell, I'd even accept Street Fighter IV barebones for 40 dollars compared to this nonsense. They did that with the NDS, and yet they regressed to this 20+year old version of a game with the Switch. SMH.

If they don't feel like serious technical fighting games are a good fit for the Switch, they might as well do PowerStone instead of milking a 20+ year old game. Such a shame, Zelda's proven that the hardware is capable enough, and yet, publishers are still treating the Switch as nothing more than a platform for pixel-art indies, and "family friendly" shovelware.

Wresting myself away from the Switch at the moment: Persona 5 demands that free time.

I don't completely disagree with you, but it is far from just the lazy port it seems to look like. Maximilian I think explains it best here https://youtu.be/dW2u-VZs7JY where he also sort of changes his mind about the game.

It's not new, but it's not just a port either. Not ideal, and I agree with you on price. My hope is that one of the studios bring a current fighting game to Switch, making the others scramble.
