The Kind of Embarrassing is a long lasting Nintendo series. Personally I prefer KoE XII, i.e. branding the Wii successor Wii U, so even fanboys wouldn't grasp the difference. Because it flopped, the same fanboys will soon make it the most sought after system on the aftermarket. Big N logic... From the classic titles, I really dig KoE '95, the Virtual Boy launch. KoE '96 comes close, the decision to loose Square because carts are better suited for kids than CDs. Indeed, they are.

When you play docked, you definitely need a Pro Controller.
My recommendations for kids from my collection:
• de Blob
• Kirby: Star Allies
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
• Penguin Wars
• Pokémon Tekken DX
• Sonic Forces
• Splatoon 2
• Super Bomberman R
• Super Mario Odyssey
• Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
Stay away from Mario Kart Home Circuit. Buy Mario Kart 8 instead. Home Circuit is just an expensive gimmick.
I can't play fighting games seriously with gamepads and use an Hori RAP V for them. The Joycon buttons and sticks are too tiny for me.
We’ll just do cartridges again and better yet, Zip disks!
No More Heroes 1 & 2 just dropped on the switch e-shop?!
I really don't need yet another copy of these games...but I'm tempted to purchase them just to show some support for the franchise.
Edit: They appear to be on sale at the moment for $17.99 each. It says "HD remaster", but I'll have to check and see if it's the original wii versions or not. I doubt NMH1 is the "Eiyuutachi no Rakuen/Red Zone/Heroes Paradise" version(s).
NMH III is looking bad@$$ and I'm glad to see Shinobu made it in the trailer this time too.
"THE GALAXY VS. THE HOOD"
I'm curious is EDF is gonna run well on the Switch, especially coop. The PS4 could barely, and I mean barely, run EDF4 without significant frame drops, so I'm curious what the Switch will be able to do.For those interested, the japanese Nintendo Direct had a few new games that were not shown in the english version. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, Shiren the Wanderer 5Plus, Family Trainer, Buddy Mission BOND, etc:
Crimzon Clover World Explosion was released today. Anyone else pick it up? I've been waiting for a console port of this for 9 years, I'm so psyched.

Definitely a day one pickup for me. The Switch has gotten a lot of shmups love, but to me this is the #1 release in that category for the switch to date.
What are you using for hdmi to vga? Looks great!

Probably not the best, but it's doing the job fine. I also use the extron 160xi because I previously had the 360 in the cab and it needed a sync stabilizer to prevent the 2931 chassis from going into auto shutoff when the 360 changes rez.
For controls I just got a brook PS4>Switch converter to use with the guts from my RAP4 Kai. I'll get a different control PCB when focus attack restocks, not sure if I'll for for the wired universal ($95) or the ZeroPI $25? Strangely, the Switch wouldn't recognize the Kai stick until I toggled it to PS3 mode, very strange.
