So apparently, Nintendo of Canada is hosting a viewing party on Thursday, but will not say what for. Many believe this is leading to a Direct announcement tomorrow. Hope so! The lack of news on Smash Bros. has been exhausting mentally for a lot of people.

Finally picked up Starlink, and in regards to the SF franchise specifically I'll say this: the base of the next breakthrough Star Fox game feels like its here. Multiple weapon types, ship/gun modding, open world exploration via planets, and a sense of a solar system that's constantly active.
The next game building on that via utilizing more dynamic enemies, a deeply involved story, greater contrast with planet climates/effects, and utilizing a few select rail shooter segments (perhaps in specific spots not unlike BOTW's shrines) and it really would feel like the next step of the franchise.

Picked up Dark Souls, and because DS without online isn’t the true experience I bought the year of Switch Online.

According to the newest earnings reports, the Switch has sold just shy of 23 Million consoles worldwide. So it's now over taken GameCube's lifetime sales (21.74 million) and is now zeroing in on doubling Wii U's lifetime sales (13.56 million). It's pretty much guaranteed to pass N64's 32.93 million consoles sold in 2019, especially with the alleged console revision coming next year.
Also, Zelda BotW became the 3rd Switch game to sell over 10 Million copies, alongside MK 8 and Mario Odyssey

So there's a rumor going around for tomorrow's Treehouse that... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}They'll be announcing an N64 Classic with Banjo on it. Granted not sure I believe it since it'd be weird to not announce this further out from Christmas.

Granted not sure I believe it since it'd be weird to not announce this further out from Christmas. {Spoiler}Between this and the rumours of Banjo and Kazooie being in Smash, I have to wonder if they’ve finagled character rights from Rare. May also apply to any possibility of Diddy Kong Racing being on there, too.

The Switch is a great system to play Diablo 3 on for my 500th time through!

Kind of starting to idly wonder about selling my Switch to be honest. I pretty rarely touch the thing and in the moment there's just nothing on the horizon I'm at all interested in other than 8-bit Steins;Gate and that's not exactly something I'll die if I can't get. Doesn't help both my Joycons' sticks have been screwing up (especially the left one) and I don't really enjoy the thing enough to justify bothering to buy new ones.
Biggest hesitation - though even then not like I'm about ready to rush out and go do this right now or anything - is that the vast majority of my games are digital so it's not like I'd see any actual return on them.

While I’ve played 1 & 2 a bunch a real bunch like way too much but I’ve never played 3 due to losing interest with how poorly it launch and just not feeling the need to play it at the time but it’s been a long time since I played Diablo and with the portability & so many reviewers praising the port I decided to buy it and it’s excellent.

Hey, Star Allies still exists.
Honestly a little surprised they even bothered with the third wave giving how quickly the game fell out of the public consciousness. Hopefully this new postgame stuff they're adding helps with revitalizing it a bit.

I’ve spent the last few days using my Satisfye Pro Gaming Grip which finally arrived after I backed them in the early summer as someone who plays mostly handheld this things awesome and my hands take me which is odd but whatever.

On the plus side, you can finally play as everyone's favorite robotic secretary.

The timing really makes the rumor of "Hulu's contract said exclusive video rights for a year" that was floating around months ago seem legit.

Hey so when I get a Switch, I can use the same Nintendo account, and thus use the same points/gift card cash, that I use(d) on my Wii U and instead buy Switch downloads & DLC right?

Ah, haven't had the U in a long time. I have the 3DS and that can't transfer.

Let's Go's leaked for what it's worth, so I guess if you care about spoilers for that keep an eye out.
