@rjejr "If that's in reference to my newfound senility, yes."

No, it wasn't. It was in reference to the fact that I put the number of the comment where you mentioned AC in my reaction, just in case you had no idea what I was talking about...

But agreed on the bodily climate issue; got the same, longing for an end to this horrible weather. Luckily, winter is coming...

"But do you really think they'll have a HDD?"

No, I never said that. I do believe they will have some type of solid state drive/flash memory in it, and in a higher capacity than was in the Wii U. The prices for bare bone modules starting at 64GB are next to nothing nowadays, especially at bulk purchasing prices, so they could at least add that to the insides of either the dock or the handheld or whatever device, besides the probably present SD card slot.

Skipping the optical drive remark, since I never expected that to be in there in the first place, especially since the cartridge rumor gained traction.

"And no, a tiny cartridge on a Home in a cabinet under a TV is not "easy", even spring loaded. Consoles are too light, they slide around too much. Tiny cartridge in my dark poorly lit basement, not fun."

Well, I don't know how much force you use when pressing buttons or removing media, but my consoles never move around when I operate them, and I'm a pretty big guy...

So if I can manage to remove or insert an SD card in the Wii with one hand without the console even moving a millimeter, then I can bloody well insert or eject a spring-loaded cartridge, so that one's completely on you, my friend.

Seems to me that you need to be a bit more gentle with your video game consoles...

I'm not going to dwell too much on your basement being dark and poorly lit, since that and kids playing there being an appropriate combo does not compute in my head...

And a game room (or a man cave) needs to be well lit and equipped with a decent audio/video setup anyway, so maybe you

need to pick up a paint brush and/or put up some atmospheric lighting there. Also nicer to display the ol' games collection in...

Oh, and let's not forget the game fridge and microwave: no time to leave the cave for something trivial as bodily sustenance when you're in the middle of a gaming session...
