Fun trip down memory lane

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great value at $60 for some truly wonderful games. They play exactly like they did on their original consoles, but some look a little better. Regardless, the games are a blast and I’m glad I’m playing them :)

Just not for me
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought several of these thinking they would be fun for our kids , but they really shouldn’t be used as direct light for multi colors. The combination of brightness and color used in common usage for these is hard on the eyes, and unnatural to look at. I would recommend them if the light is diffused somehow or used as an accent light or bias lighting. Though other styles of product would be better suited for that

Not good enough for straightening curly hair
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife has very curly hair and she wanted to love this, but it did not do a sufficient job in blowing it out. She does a better job with her own blow dryer and tools. For reference, she probably is a 3b for curliness. Guys won’t know what this is, but google that and you’ll see examples of hair curl.

Great new switch
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an original switch and bought this for the wife. She only likes animal crossing and this is the perfect model. It’s design is minimalist but adorable, and it also features the v2 hardware with longer battery life. It’s worth noting that it doesn’t come with animal crossing, but the design of the dock and switch are very good as it is.

Looks good, not very accurate

The look and feel of the device is good, but I couldn’t get accurate blood pressure readings. I followed instructions and couldn’t get precise measurements. Fluctuations of about 20 or so points can be a little much.

Stay ahead of water damage and protect your home from severe and costly repairs. Simply connect the Alarm Flood and Freeze Sensor to your Ring Alarm Security Kit (sold separately) and you~ll get notifications when water is detected or when the temperature drops below 40~F. Then place the Sensor on the floor near sinks, bathtubs, showers, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, water coolers, toilets, basements and any other sources of potential leaks.

Prepare giant feasts efficiently with this GE freestanding electric double oven range. The steam-cleaning feature helps minimize maintenance, and the extra-large oven capacity fits large pans or multiple dishes. This GE freestanding electric range has a delay-bake option for your convenience.
 

Is the large oven big enough to hold at 24 lb turkey?

Probably on the bottom rack. You’d need dimensions of the turkey and the roasting pan to get your answer though.

Bump up your home theater sound setup with our new rear surround speaker kit that provides improved connectivity and a wireless receiver that~s compatible with select LG soundbars.
 

I hook up the rear's LG speakers to my LG soundbar are you supposed to hear voice talking all the back speakers all the time

I think it depends on the sound profile you’re using (eg music, games etc)

Explore a fantastical adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Traverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, Ring-Con and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional mini games, Ring Fit Adventure is a great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules. In the Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you'll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation, such as squat-powered launch pads and more. Want to compete with others? Pass around the Ring-Con accessory, and select from a few mini games: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats and more.
 

What is all included with the game?

The game, a Pilates ring that a joy con slides into, and a leg strap to put another joy con into. No joy cons included.

Move with stealth across dangerous landscapes using these Nintendo Joy-Con controllers. Compatibility with the Nintendo Switch system means you can hold both controls independently in each hand or together when attached to the compatible grip for multiple ways to have fun. These Nintendo Joy-Con controllers feature a full set of buttons for smooth execution of special abilities when gaming.
 

Are the insides updated? The current Joy Cons have a large amount of complaints due to drifting issues, and having bought a second pair and still having issues, I would like to know if these have resolved that issue before purchasing them.

Nothing leads me to believe (my playtime or research) that this has been updated from the original joy con.
