This is the first time I've read about Switches developing spontaneous cracks, but when I read this, I looked at my Switch. Thankfully, no cracks. I also googled it to see how widespread the issue was.

One theory I've seen a lot is that one of the screws might have been over-tightened at the factory putting stress on the plastic casing. If the cracking is a factory defect, I'd say you definitely have a right to be pissed that a $300 piece of electronics is developing cracks like that.

My nephew used to love Thomas when he was a little kid. I babysat him a lot, so I watched a lot of it. I used to make jokes about the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt being cross every time the kid did something he wasn't supposed to be doing.

I love the Switch. I'm playing it more than PS4 since I got it, and games like Valkyria Chronicles 4 I am getting for Switch instead of PS4.

My tastes run toward stuff like VC4, Shining Resonance Refrain, and Octopath Traveler, so I don't know how much help I'd be.

I'm actually not too disappointed in the lack of a Virtual Console. I do hope they have it, and I hope they will have Gamecube games this time, since I've played all the SNES and NES stuff to death and don't have a lot of interest in revisiting the N64. However, I'm really enjoying the Arcade Archives stuff on it. The company that does Arcade Archives made a deal with Nintendo to bring their arcade catalogue to the Switch. So far, they have Punch-Out!!, Mario Bros, and Donkey Kong. Mario Bros. and DK are far superior to their NES versions. I still prefer Punch-Out on the NES. Since DK is my all time favorite arcade game and the arcade version has never been officially released until now, that's actually a huge deal for me.

If I were going to the beach with a video game character, it would definitely be Tifa.

I didn't either when I went to Rocky Point. I got kind of crispy. My traveling companion chewed me out over it, LOL.

Nintendo's big Japanese team, the one that made stuff like Mario.

I forgot about the Rudolph game, LOL. They had Wii games based around weird stuff. One of them was even based on the Cold Stone Creamery ice cream stores.

Probably the one Pong game I would be interested in seeing is Nintendo's Pong console which was Japan-only.

I played it and thought it was good, but I much preferred the speed and design of SM64.There was no instance in which I thought a Rare game was better than its EAD counterpart.

My family had a Pong machine. It was a knockoff and not an Atari or Sears Pong machine. I think it's packed away in storage somewhere.
