+1 on hoping for an F-Zero return, by the way.

Already been hit on, but backwards compatibility is absolutely key. Both for the eshop and the cartridges. Seeing Switch games not look like trash on 4k TVs would be enough to guarantee my money, as well as seeing eshop purchases carry over to the new generation rather than being made to re-buy favourites on a new system. Nintendo have such a terrible track record on this historically that I have no faith that they will actually do this, but I also feel that they may have reached a critical mass audience for the Switch and with the world being far more online now than 10 years ago I think it will enrage people if they don't do this... It will enrage me any way, such that I may actually not buy it if this is the case.

The online experience in general will hopefully improve, but again, it's Nintendo so there's every chance it won't.

Hoping OLED will be the norm, though I can see it again being an eventual upgrade to keep base model costs down, or perhaps even different SKUs from the start for those who care.

Improved joycons would be nice... I don't hate them, but I would love full sized buttons and a little more... solidity.

If there's a sensible way to make putting a cartridge into the console less of a total pain in the arse I would love it... But I understand the practical usefulness of that rubber flap, so this isn't a deal breaker.

A little more... whimsy? I love the Switch... I've owned pretty much every major console for the last 25 years and the Switch is real close to the top of the list for me... But I do feel like it's a touch... Corporate? Not quite the right word... Safe? Regardless, there's been a little old school madness missing, perhaps.

@theflinn: yes, it's a big mistake not having the description visible. Sterile is the right word.

I also feel like the category of content should be displayed. Just a little "podcast" tag in one corner when it's All Systems Goku, for example, would be so much easier to parse. To anyone who doesn't already know what the content is everything is a big mystery right now.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry that you're missing much. Every other GAME shop in the UK is directly comparable with any given Gamestop.

Good for them for putting the effort in here, though.

I would be behind this 100%. Would have to be a role playing game, I think. Or perhaps a boardgame, but one that had room for role play, or something that can allow emotions to run a little.

Problem with the previous pathfinder/d&d games they've run was lack of frequency and no familiarity with the rules. GBeast seem better at getting series out with some frequency, and Austin has the experience to guide it. So yes... would love this.

Completely agree. Wonderful videos. I get unreasonably excited when I spot a new one.

I'd be quite happy for them to continue this for some time. Although I appreciate as they get more competent it will become less interesting. But, and this is said with all due respect, I think that level of competence is some way off. So with that... More Kerbal, please!

(But also I hope they don't forget Castlevania...)

Awesome, thanks very much.

Hi all,

Way back last year, there was a great mailbag where Jeff was sent a couple of boxes full of JAMMA arcade boards. Throughout this it was said that they would do a live show with them, hooking them into a super gun, but I don't recall there ever being such a show. Did I just miss it, or did this fall by the wayside?

Here's the video I'm referring to: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/giant-bomb-mailbag-jamma-edition/2300-10229/

Ooo, I had forgotten about Earth & Beyond!

Never actually felt much like an MMO to me... other than chat there wasn't much call for interaction. But a great game nonetheless.
