Well there is only one way to place it if you want to access the disc drive easily. Pointing out to the front would be interesting though - a nice hot breeze blowing on you giving more immersion for those extra-sweaty PVP matches. It will be interesting to find a way to set this up efficiently but I welcome the challenge.
Well that's not filling me with confidence for playing Octopath Traveler, lol. I picked it up on sale after others who didn't like Bravely Default recommended it but haven't had time to play it. Perhaps I should of waited since now the proper Romancing SaGa's are being ported to the Switch.
You are probably right, although direction of heat movement doesn't matter much since it isn't a passive system. I just wish Microsoft would finally make a console that vented out the back. At least with the XBox One I could adjust the shelf height so that there was more space above it for the exhaust. With this thing I'll probably buy a speaker stand and set it in some corner and hope that nothing bumps into it.
I like the look of the new XBox but hope that the top grill is the intake and not the exhaust. I think most people will have it sitting horizontally and if it exhausts out of that grill the console should only be placed with nothing above it. Would also be nice if the XBox logo ON/OFF button rotated so it was correctly oriented whether the console was vertical or horizontal.
Why would I be salty? I have Bravely Default on the 3DS and Octopath Traveler on the Switch. Bravely Default is just a bad game. But it is nice to see someone like you who has never played them come to their defense. Do you make a habit of commenting on games that you have never played?
That's just stupid. Bravely Default already has a sequel - Bravely Second End Layer. Did Square Enix hire the genius from Ubisoft who named the Assassin Creed games?
Also, Bravely Default is one of the most overrated games I have ever played. It is an RPG with little character development, no exploration, and the dungeons are both boring and repetitive ("Oh look, there's the crystal and we are completely shocked that there is a monster in it just like every ...
"Listen up! We know Black Friday was a bit of a disappointment" and then goes on to write an article about a deal that is worse than the one on Black Friday. $299 is the MSRP for that bundle and for Black Friday week Sony put it on sale for $199. Since when does 10% off count as "offloading?"
Nope, no difference. PlatinumKing1982 posted that those scores were the result of people upset with the game not being on their preferred platform. You made fun of that claim even though you agreed with that line of reasoning when it came to Astral Chain, proving that you are just another fanboy.

Didn't you say exactly the same thing about Astral Chain?
"“It seems people are upset the game is a Switch-exclusive, leading to the bombing.”
And that is what wrong with some people nowadays."
There you are agreeing with the premise that the only reason people gave Astral Chain a bad score was because it was a Switch exclusive yet here you are making fun of the idea of people giving scores based on the platform it is on. Could you...
Only a fool would of thought that cheap-looking ad was real. Not only is it bad that websites spread that false ad, but the Twitter account behind it is still putting out fake posts about Black Friday deals.
"No problem with sales" - except that it in Japan it is selling slightly over half of what Nintendo predicted. You can try to blame this on people's unreasonable expectations but it is Nintendo's own expectations that are off.
Also, if you are going to try and quote sales records, at least try to get them right for once. The 15 million sales was in NORTH AMERICA, not just the United States. For US sales, the Switch has sold 13 million while the PS4 sold...
The person who created this fake ad couldn't even take the time to make it look convincing. Not only does it look like a 4-year old made it using some free program like MS Paint, the lack of detail and items on the page is a big tell. Also, I am pretty sure that Walmart spends so much on its advertising department so that it doesn't have to copy the exact same style that was used the previous year.
ARMS was the last new Nintendo IP; preceded by Splatoon (2015) and Pikmin (2001). Yes, that list does include the DS and 3DS which only had Steel Divers as a new first-party IP (and I don't think anyone puts it on an actual creative level as ARMS, Splatoon, and Pikmin).

You're hopeless. Nintendo actually restructures themselves around second-party developers and puts that in its financial briefings yet you still claim they don't exist. Activision didn't announce the next Call of Duty as a third-party game so I guess in your world there also are not third-party developers.
I see you are still too stupid to learn what "colloquial" means. Do you even know what second-party means in commerce outside of video games? Pr...
Just because you are too ignorant to acknowledge second-party developers does not mean that they don't exist. The world doesn't revolve around what you personally choose or choose not to exist. Every other gamer and professional in the gaming industry understands second-party developers/games and are able to make the distinction.

Wow, this website made a list of the biggest games coming in 2020 and didn't list a single Sony or Nintendo exclusive.
So basically, not a very good list.
The correct answer is 2017.

My god, these websites are getting dumber.

Amazon didn't discount anything. This is Playstation's Black Friday Week sale.
Seriously, can we ban these websites whose only goal is to post "articles" based around Amazon affiliate links?
