I just dusted off my PS Vita and hacked it just by going to a URL in the web browser. Now I have an app store were every game is free rightg on the device. And I can play emulators.
If anyone of you has a ps vita try not to update it passed 3.65. You can make a permanent hack. If you have updated it to the current 3.68 you can still hack it but youll have to open an app every time you restart the device. not so bad.

New NES controllers headline announcement-filled Nintendo Switch presentation
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2…
After a delay in light of a Japanese earthquake, Nintendo's latest Direct video presentation finally went live on Thursday evening, and it included confirmations of long-rumored games and ports for the Nintendo Switch—along with a surprise NES controller pack launching next week.

It sucks.. me 8 year old is obsessed with the switch, so much so we decided to have a device free December.. in the last 2 weeks his whole attitude has improved, he isn't as depressed and generally is his old cheery self..
but as a parent who also was obsessed with Nintendo as a kid his age, I understand him feeling like us being the bad guy for taking it away..
we told him it would be back by Christmas.. but I am afraid he will just go back to be obsessed by it again, especially given one of his presents is the new Pokemon game.
tldr parenting is hard

you did the right thing, he'll remember this for the rest of his life ... and he'll respect you for itmonospaced - limiting time in front of screens = good parenting.inteliboy
- Pokemon Game? Remember EL-P!oey
- you reacted to a problem. Thats good parenting in my books. I banned my kid from his DS this week for this week.mugwart
- I told him why I was doing so and told him what he needed to do to fix this. He understands. Kids are smarter these days it feels.mugwart
- My friends limit screen time through the week to homework only. Computers and consoles are for the weekend. It works well for the boys.microkorg
- We do the same, limited TV/screens in the week - games & consoles at weekends onlydee-dubs
- find a way to show him his progress while being device free and teach him to be responsible with his consume himself :-)mekk
- actually you have a great basis now that he is two weeks in already without having a major breakdown. My cousin would have smashed something without fortnitemekk
- since the summer i have stopped my two sons watching/accessing youtube ... has made a big differenceBluejam
- ^ thankfully my 2 haven't yet got the youtube bug but I know a lot of parents whose kids would spend every waking minute on youtube if they coulddee-dubs
- Yeah he plays 3 hours a week.. thursdays and the weekend.. so it’s not heaps as it is.. but he fixates so hard when he isn’t playing and constantly asking forautoflavour
- Time.. then he ends up trying to watch YouTube to watch stampycat and dantdm.. and he is fixated on fortnite .. even tho he isn’t allowed to playautoflavour
- Use this time wisely: beat Zelda.monospaced
- Switch comes with great parental controls, like time limits: https://en-americas-…Crack_Junkie
- Stay Strong amigo. Make him read books, clean house, do push ups for screen time.stoplying
- I'm on the screen on weekends only team.
If you cut him cold turkey he will go back to his old ways once you change the system.soundofreason - He needs to learn there's a viable way to live without a screen. Let him see the best of both worlds.
Life finds a way.soundofreason - A friendly reminder:
https://www.qbn.com/…soundofreason - ^^^ hahahaha. My now 7 year old asked for a switch for xmas. We got it and I'm dreading the fights with his 3 year old brother.fooler

- bought everspace a while ago but haven't had the chance to get properly stuck in, you enjoying it?fadein11
- I haven't played Everspace yet. I'm waiting for it to go on sale, $50 CAD is a bit too much for a roguelike. It's #1 on my Switch wishlist.Milan
- yeah was £30 in UK so same. I wanted a space game so went for it before Xmas. Need to spend some time on it, 1st impressions were good though.fadein11

- Are these graphics supposed to be well done or high end?utopian
- It’s a port from a smaller shop and more feeding the need for a modern street skate game since Skate series is not hap’n?prophetone
- I’ll say though yes could def use more detail attention and physics refinements but could see that happening if they build this upprophetone
- And the PC version is much better, smoother, so this is a Switch hardware limitation I guess, graphics dialed downprophetone
- yeah, it's more a sim than a graphics showcase anyhow. The physics are pretty good in the pre-release.ben_
- I'm much preferring Session though, all around.ben_

- Undersold Recs for Switch:
Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Untitled Goose Game, The Gardens Between, Cuphead, Lovers, 198X, Celeste.garbage - I saw cuphead, looks pretty cool, all vintage style, I'll check it out thanksMiguex
- Amazing style. I suggest playing 2-player, you get to check the artwork when you're dead for the thousandth time.garbage

Been playing this in the meantime, it's not skate but I was surprised with the quality of graphics (I have not owned a console since ps2 I think)
Anyone else plays this game?
- Also, this game is freeMiguex
- Haven't played it, but I just bought Grid Autosport, which is 30% off right now. It's more of a racing simulator like Forza or Gran Turismo.Milan
- Wait, whoa, can you get Skate on Switch?nb
- no sorry, I meant Skater XL which is promising to be the best one from all the 3 new skateboard games coming up TH Remix/ Sessions being the other 2Miguex
- Milan, this one is 100% free and it's really good (not sure if my opinion means much because I'm new to this haha)Miguex
- downloaded and yep it's decent, esp as free. thanks.fadein11

Donkey Kong is 30% off, one of the best platformers ever. Rarely goes on sale.
