Project Switch: Customize Your Nintendo

There are a number of people with stickers on the back of their Nintendo Switch consoles... which I have no issue with (do your thing), but you can take it to a higher level to make it your own.


I do have something that I wouldn't recommend when tricking out your Nintendo Switch. Yes, I did say do your thing (it's your system), but don't put stickers on your Nintendo Switch. The sticky film can get into the crevices, the stickers fade, and... you can risk scratching your Switch trying to take them off. Think of the replay value when it comes to a cruddy Nintendo Switch with scratches on it.

Another thing I don't recommend is getting stickers (at all) or cases that have a specific game installment, show season, or movie installment on it. It dates the case... and what will that mean for resell if you want to sell the case with it? I wouldn't get a case with Super Mario Odyssey written on it, I'd get a case with the 2D Mario art (i.e. when he jumped into the walls in the game).

That said, when tricking out your Switch... you can also protect it at the same time with protective cases like these. They don't stick to the case like a sticker, and... the party doesn't stop here when you're able to show the thumbs, buttons, and even the cradle some love. I'm going to speak on the cradle more down below. All cases you see like the one above and the rest below have art from front to back.









This image shows the back part of this... magical case to give you an idea, but... there are just so many options for the standard Switch + the Switch OLED. All aren't created equal, so check out the various options, but the good thing is... you can easily swap out cases (compared to stickers). Not just swap them out to fill up a bin... get a refund and try another.


To continue the fun, I can't overlook the Switch Dock... cover, which... is also a cool thing to customize if you want to give it a cool look. This literally just... sits there... so even if these dock covers have anti-scratch options (unless you're tossing it around) it should remain in great condition. These aren't just great options to customize your system... if you have a child or children who want to have their system stand out apart from their siblings... there ya go.



Lastly, to keep with the shark theme... I'd even recommend a dust cover because it keeps dust from getting into the crevices and all that good stuff. You can wipe off a dust cover a whole heck of a lot easier than you can a Switch Dock's cradle. Not only do the dust covers prevent dust... they look awesome.



This is a pretty cool option for some, while others may want to create their own look or simply display their Switch while protecting it from dust, so... try a clear dust cover option (or go sticker crazy). Don't worry... all the necessary ports have access to run cables and corded controllers.

Happy 30th Anniversary... Sonic... congrats on beating... Bill Gates?!




2021 has been a big year for gaming anniversaries  Sonic the Hedgehog turned 30, Donkey Kong turned 40 and The Legend of Zelda turned 35, making our favorite video game characters top of mind for many Americans. 

To see which characters have made the biggest impression on Gen Z, We surveyed 1,800 Americans ages 16-24 and found that while 83% of Gen Z can identify Sonic the Hedgehog, only 67% recognize Bill Gates. 



   


Interesting Findings

  • 85% of Gen Z can identify Pikachu, making him the most recognizable video game character.
  • Gen Z correctly identified video game characters at an average rate of 80%, but only identified public figures with 56% accuracy.
  • Lara Croft trailed the whole group of most recognizable video game characters at 66%—perhaps because the player point of view shows the back of her head.
  • Just 40% of Gen Z recognize Zoe Saldana, despite her Marvel Universe credits and status as one of the top-grossing actors of all time. - Hilary J.

Nintendo 2DS Price drop w/ Mario Kart 7 + RkRk chimes in! + From the source: Nintendo eShop action!


If you wanted to get your hands on a Nintendo 2DS... now seems like a good time. Though its a good price drop, it should've been a similar price point from launch (in my opinion). It feels more like Nintendo novelty, even if its geared towards kids so that they don't have the option to use the 3D feature (and that's good... it is) but like everyone (even Toy R Us kids)... they will get older and probably want that 3D feature like we have. There was also enough room on this thing for a second circle pad or at least a c-stick, but I will leave that alone... I just hope that Nintendo's next handheld can deliver with fewer revisions or no revisions at all (maybe even make the thing customizable with optional analog stick screw in's, etc.). I'd like the next Nintendo handheld to have a premium feel to it, something like the Xbox One's pro controller quality.

Anyway... back to the 2DS. If that's all the parents could afford, then the kids are S.O.L. (sure outta luck), but there could've simply been another option like a parental lock of the feature in the New Nintendo 3DS. That would've spared resources possibly even to the degree of releasing that handheld at a lower price and making the shift to upgrade a bit more realistic for some gamers who can't play certain games ONLY available for the... New Nintendo 3DS (which is still a major "WTF").

On the plus side you get... Mario Kart 7 thrown in, which has replay value out the tailpipe! So if you'd rather you or your child to have a 2DS or its just the best price option to get access to a really good library of games... enjoy the crap out of it! (Ka-Boom!)
