Good tv for the price.

Overall good tv. Decent audio quality, 720p fits the smaller screen size well, streams everything well. Only issue I have with this tv is how slow it is to start up when I turn it on. It will sometimes take 3-5 seconds to register a single input from the remote and it can get annoying, especially if I'm just trying to browse a menu. Patience is necessary for this tv.

Good remake. Still a little rough around the edges
on October 5, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall this is a good game. A solid 15-20 hour game with a lot of charm, humor, and creativity.
The only real drawback is the game’s frame rate constantly stutters. It tries to handle a full 60 fps but when moving from screen to screen the game dips into what seems like the 30s. It’s not a good look and I hope they find a way to fix this.
As a remake it handles a lot of the jank from the original game very well. It maps certain items to buttons permanently instead of making you switch them out all the time.
The game has a cute art style, some great puzzles and dungeons, and is definitely worth picking up, if you think it’s worth it.
I myself would value this game at $30 or $40 and not a full $60 considering the game’s length as well as being a remake of an existing game. Also the frame drops are a concern.
I suppose this would be an 8/10.

Cheaper alternative with a couple drawbacks.
on October 5, 2019
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
The console works great. It runs games as well as a normal switch. The new D-pad is preferable over the 4 buttons on the original joy cons. I like the softer pressing buttons over the clicky ones on the original Switch model. I also like the sticks on this model over the original. Something about them feels more fluid and less sticky. Hard to explain.
But there’s no kick stand built in so you need an external stand if you want to play with a pro controller or a separate set of joy cons, or if you want to watch youtube on it hands free.
The speakers are worse than the original Switch but not by much. Though I’d say using headphones is the best way to get sound out of this console.
And the lack of any way to dock the switch is disappointing, but expected.
If you want a Switch to play the games, but don’t feel you’d use the tv mode, this is worth it. But it does lack a couple of things that the Switch in handheld mode does better.

Solid design, but flawed construction.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The painting and sculpting on this figure catches the character’s menu select art perfectly, but the only thing connecting the figure to its stand is its little foot on a clear piece of plastic, which bends and stretches whenever I touch it. Mine hasn’t broken, but I have to be extra careful when handling it to make sure the figure doesn’t bend and snap off of its stand. A good figure, overall, but something I need to be careful with.

I thoroughly enjoy my X. I had an S for about a year, and upon seeing the sale for the 76 bundle, I immediately hopped on this deal. My only issue is I don’t enjoy the game included, but the console itself is still solid. Its processing power and 4K visuals are a delight.

Good value but not the best 3DS
on December 22, 2018
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
A good value for a 3DS. Comes with a game and a charger, unlike the New 3DS XL. But it runs a lot more slowly than a New 3DS or New 2DS. Not to mention it has a very flimsy and loose D-Pad, not good for precise movement in 2D platformers. Also is a bit fragile, beware of leaving this out to be sat or stepped on, because it will shatter the screen or worse.
Kind of a cheaply made product, but access to the 3DS family’s line of games for such a low price, as well as coming with a game to begin with is an undeniable value. Highly recommend.

Do I have to pay a monthly subscription to play this game if I am only playing one player

You only need to pay for Playstation Plus if you're going to be playing co-op or pvp.
Otherwise you can play the entire game singleplayer without needing to pay for anything else.
