The Nintendo Switch is an amazing system that, instead of focusing on surpassing the Wii U in graphics, instead focuses on sacrificing some graphical potential in order to be a home-console and handheld hybrid. It is also the cheapest next-gen console on the market, costing around $300, which is a pretty low price for a home-console, especially one as hyped up as the Switch is. With how complex and compact the console itself and its two joy-con are, it's surprising that the price got that low. Except when you consider some of its more minimalistic aspects -- such as a very weak kickstand that makes the console easy to tip-over in tabletop mode, and the easily scratched material used to make the outer casing it sports. Again though -- considering all you really need to be looking at is the screen, and also considering everything the console can do (which only the first launch title really takes advantage of for some reason), it is not all-together too surprising which corners were cut, and why. However, there is but one slight with your console that concerns me just a bit.
The wrist straps. THOSE WRIST STRAPS!!!! You know? Those black strips of black plastic with the rope loop coming out the end that is only useful if you're playing 1-2-Switch? Those wrist straps! Don't get me wrong -- they lock on to the joy-con quite securely, especially given that there are two locks, neither of which would ever fail given how well designed they are. I have but one gripe with them though, and it is this: The rope. Seriously -- with how well-made the rest of the system is, I fail to understand why the rope on the wrist-straps -- the part that actually needs to be functional and expensive, is so delicate. From what I can tell, there is a cheap outer layer of fibers on the outside wrapped around the real rope on the inside. The problem with this is the outer layer easily gets torn after just one or two days of play, and the inside rope inevitably bursts out, with no way to completely stuff it back into its original, proper shape. What this means is that the wrist-straps will form unsightly loops and knots that don't correct themselves no matter how hard and in which ways you pull on the on the wrist-straps.
I don't hate you Nintendo. Just thought you should know -- yer wrist-straps don't work
Eh... i would need a new gamecube, it's read-head is acting up. Well, as a pro, i DID get a used GBA SP, and i already cracked its case, but only slightly... I need to handle my things with more care, but i need new GBA games plus GB and GBC games too. Mainly the pokemon Gens 1-3 on it.
Some news on that GBA SP, its hinges are going to give out. I tampered to much of its hinge capitalization, and totally fractured the upper left of its case, exposing the inside of the GBA. The left trig still works, but i would not touch it ever again, for fate that the top will just fall off completely.

What did you do to the GBA SP? Throw it off a balcony? I bought mine used and its perfectly fine! The 1-3 Gens are pretty good. Gen7 Is so boring though. I've wasted literally Hundreds of hours playing Platinum, White2, X, and OmegaRuby, and I haven't played Sun at all almost after the Champ. If you get a GC Get Pokemon Colosseum and/or XD: Gale of Darkness. If ya ask me they are among da best Pokemon games. I should know I have played a lot of them. If you ever need help in a Main Series Pokemon Game (and the two aforementioned GC Games) Come to me. I can help ya, esp. if it's about how to defeat a Pokemon.
