Video: Switch put through an unothordox durability test
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Random, Switch, Videos | 9 Comments
When a new device comes out, tech-focused YouTube channels can’t help but put them through all sorts of durability tests. Yesterday, GizmoSlip did just that, and in some… creative ways.
As a new Switch owner, I almost couldn’t help but cringe a bit seeing the abuse it was being put through. But hey, it survived numerous drops onto concrete, various trick shots such as being tossed through the air into the dock, and more. Guess Nintendo made a pretty sturdy device!

Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure apparently costs $10 more on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 7 Comments
Rime was one of the first instances of a multiplatform game costing $10 more on Switch. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be the last.
Amazon and GameStop both have pre-orders open for the Switch version of Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure. Both listings have the collection down for $40. On other platforms, the asking price was $30. So much like Rime, Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure will cost $10 more on Switch.
