Interesting about the mouse. I can see a parallel with the DS touchscreen and stylus. We'll likely get a load of poorly thought out experiments using a mouse control with the odd gem as an exception, then it'll calm down and mouse controls will be *snip*

The Harry Potter game was the same. I've done some digging, there's a key thing. If you see that it means you get a box (and a cart? ) but it's a download.
Possibly be cheaper. Possibly that some games will come in both formats.

My son who's a big Nintendo fan (a proper one) said this morning he's going to pass on this one. At least for now.
The cost of the console and carts partially, but also that some carts are not going to contain the game but instead activate a downl*snip*

See Nintendo Link
You need to be a regular online player for 2 continuous years to have chance at pre-order invite.
Device looks great. Price and availability not so much.
May wait a little while for it to settle.

Looks really good, but a warning in the reviews is the app needed for this is not on the Google app store for Android users. You have to install it from Huawei's and that's smells a bit dodgy. I couldn't find anything on Google play store so it*snip*

For my vic 20 games, sometimes quite a bit out of necessity to achieve speed or reduction in size or both. Anything from game logic to data and structures. It can be rewarding and frustrating but ultimately I enjoy creating things in an environment that ha*snip*

WHSmiths used to be a great shop for me. Along with John Menzies and Boots, and later HMV and Virgin Megastore, it sold everything I was into.
It first began to decline when it pulled out of DVD sales, and then became very expensive. My kids were still qu*snip*

Now that's a good idea. I also found it was comfortable holding at an angle on the edge, if you know what I mean. And finger on the shoulder button. The new joycons are larger which might change things.

A mouse feature, while not excitingly new, would be useful for fps and strategy. I much prefer using the mouse on no man's sky on the pc, than I do with the joysticks on the switch. I mean I manage but would have been cool to have a mouse option.
