I'm really kind of surprised that I haven't seen any of the endless Switch 2 content I come across mentioning it.

Skip it. It's incredibly uncomfortable to hold. Totally unbalanced and non-ergonomic.

The Kickstarter one. I think that was it. I've long since thrown it away.
Again, there's no need for it on a Switch 2 since it stands upright independently with its kickstand.

As I posted earlier, I have a FlipGrip and I like it well enough. Haven’t used it more than 10 hours in the time I’ve had it, but I haven’t any complaints about it. I don’t have a strong opinion either way, and I recognize Decker’s opinion is valid.

But it definitely changed from getting it to be cautious and wait for reviews.
Problem is I greatly loved portrait pinball but even if I put it right in front me of at a desk I'm sitting at, it's too small almost for these old eyes

How do you access the Shuttle Hockey (air hockey) game in Super Mario Party Jamboree? Thanks in advance.

I didn't know that I'd use the emulators as much as I am. Strikers is a TON of fun. Dr. Mario is always a classic, and Tetris will be played, and Mario Tennis is a blast. I can't wait and discover other hidden gems, I'm sure one of the systems has Mario Golf.
I don't know what it is about this machine but playing games on it that I've played in other platforms is more fun. Pinball FX is more fun than on the PC. Switch 1 games are more fun than on the Switch 1. It's just a perfectly formed machine. I wake up and fire up Donkey Kong and play an hour or two first instead of doing my Speedstorm dailies first. I'm using it a ton in both the handheld and docked mode. Love playing it on the 2nd PC screen and then just carrying it over to the bedroom to wind down before bedtime.
I haven't even tried it on the 4k gaming screen, just on the 32 inch tv we use as a second monitor which was $100 like 4 years ago. I need to get the splitter going so that the Switch 2 is going to both screens and have the second switcher set up on the gaming screen, can't wait to see the difference.

Well this is just fantastic, anyone with a Nintendo Online membership will be able to preview Drag X Drive for a couple of days around the 9th of August, great way to test out whether I will like it or not.

That's cool. Game doesn't look like anything I'd be interested in, but at least I could try it out now.

Also from the general vibe people have a low opinion of Drag X Drive and as of right now I think it would sell horribly, so I think Nintendo is betting that if people tried it not only would they see how well the mouse controls work (and hence buy more mouse content in the future) but also how fun this game is to play and then buy it. I wish every game had like even a five minute demo.

How lame that it's only few hours. Give us a proper demo. I don't want to schedule my weekend around a friggin' demo.

I just came to post about Mario Paint
Didn't even cross my mind they could add mouse functionality to emulated games!!

MARIO PAINT!!
That's so awesome!
The music is already running through my head.
That's worth the $500 price of admission alone.
