For Switch 2 rumors, things are heating up with Nintendo supposedly revealing the device Thursday with a games showcase at the end of February. To date, Nintendo has confirmed an ANNOUNCEMENT before the end of their fiscal year (which ends March 31). But on the leaky side, accessory manufacturers have started to showcase accessories, while the motherboard was revealed a few weeks back. This leak confirmed the system using the Nvidia T239 mobile chip, a 2018 chip from the Orin Tegra family. The graphics tech will be based on Ampere (RTX 3000 series and Mobile RTX 2050 cards).
To refresh, Richard Ledbetter from Digital Foundry did a deep dive on the chip and used a downclocked laptop running an RTX 2050 to simulate approximate performance of a next gen Switch

Was that the same DF guy that doesn't know what "Software" is? If so I would question any of his tests.
*Sorry... I've grown very weary of DF, or peoples obsession/hero worship of them*
So, my brother let me borrow his old Rockband gear for the xbox 360. I have this setup in the kids playroom, and last night we had a blast playing GH WT. Now I got a lot of the song packs back in the day, but the only song that they know on there is Just Dance. They had a blast balling that out on the chorus. So with that in mind, is there a good karaoke game for the Switch? I think if they had something with music that they know it would be better for them.
I think you're probably going to be looking at mostly the "Let's Sing" games? Can't really vouch for them, since I don't dabble in that genre too much. But, I'd probably start there and look around if there's anything that stands out to you.
Amazin has it for $30 with two microphones, so I ordered that last night. We will see if the girls like that.
Nintendo is ending their Gold Points Reward system. This allowed you to get some "credit" when you purchased games so you could get discounts later.

Starting March 24, you will no longer receive any new points for purchasing games physically or digitally. It sounds as though your current points will remain until they expire. But, you won't be able to get any new points after that date.
So, if you were thinking about buying something, maybe do it sooner than later, if you want to earn some points for it.
My opinion on this can be summarized roughly as: "Boo! Hiss!"

I need to redeem my games! See what I can get.
"Economy's doing fine, people are flush with cash... we clearly don't need this anymore."
So, I ended up getting a Switch lite at the local gamestore this week. They go for $199 new but I got this one, with a charger and case, for $130 and it looks brand new.
The kids are happy as now we have two Switches to play with, so that solves the immediate problem of one hogging the Switch all day.

Man, "I'm getting you a switch" meant something completely different when I was a kid...
Lol! Same here!
The thing is we had promised the youngest to get her one a long time ago when she learned how to potty train, and that has been a year since she learned, so it was past due to fulfill our promise to her even if she had forgotten it.
...I had a joke for that per the conversation thus far, but it might not be appreciated.
