Quick Shots For November 3, 2017
Chalk this one up to the "if I had only known" category.
If you have been following my Quick Shots then you are familiar with my discussions concerning the Nintendo Switch and my debating over whether or not to purchase one. As you probably know, I did end up buying a Switch and am loving it. However, this week I found out a little detail about the console that, had known about it sooner, I probably would not have had any hesitation in purchasing one.
This is not new information, but I only read about it this week. Beginning in 2018, Nintendo will offer a paid online membership at an extremely reasonable price. The best option is the $20 a year plan. Included in that plan will be access to a library of classic NES and SNES games. When I was considering the Switch, one of my hopes was that classic Nintendo games would be made available through the eShop at a low price tag. You can't beat an entire library of games for a little over $1 a month. So far, only three games have been announced (Super Mario 3, Balloon Fight, and Dr. Mario) but it's safe to assume this list will be significantly fleshed out. To find out more, head on over to the Nintendo Switch Online site.
Anyone who has been following my playthrough of Fran Bow on the Half Air YouTube channel will appreciate this next item. Following my last video post, my son and I were having a text discussion about my puzzle solving abilities in this game compared to other videos he's seen. Near the end of the discussion, I asked about the point in the game where I ended the video. Below is his response:
So far we've had morbid, grotesque hallucinations; multiple corpses; monsters and ghosts; giant talking bugs; pinecone families; twins who are sewn together; frog boats; and a multitude of other creepy, horrific scenes and circumstances . . . and now it's about to get weird?! I can't wait to see what's next.
Don't forget, ExtraLife Day 2017 is this weekend. Please consider donating if you haven't already. For more information, please see last week's post.
