Those Biden dollar prices, though. Will other console makers stay at their current prices or will they raise prices as US stock starts to run out.

I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

In my home, Nintendo Land is an all time great game. To this day, whenever my nieces visit, they demand to play Nintendo Land.

The license carts are worse than physical cartridges but better than buying digital. At least you can give them to a friend or sell them (while the software server is still active).

The entire article has a tone of “it is exactly as we expected it to be”. Good to have a journalist say that Nintendo was not covering up some horrible, obvious flaw.

There is a reason that most games are listed as “capable of starting, more testing required”. It should not be too hard to set up automation that loads a game on to the Switch 2, launches it, and checks that it did not crash within 30 seconds.

Nintendo US website. Mario Kart has an MSRP of $79.99. Donkey Kong has an MSRP of $69.99.

For me, it depends on how much the upgrade packs add. If you frame it as “We will be releasing select Switch titles as enhanced editions on the Switch 2. If you already have the Switch version, you can buy the enhanced edition at a discount by getting it as an Upgrade Pack.”

Doesn’t PlayStation have a similar program?

At $500, the system would cost as much as a PlayStation 5 or XBox Series X and Nintendo would not be able to sell it as a low cost alternative. It would also be a 60% price increase over the previous generation. I would expect $400 and hope for $350.

I am ready for the battery life to keep getting worse, especially at the lower end of the range (so from 2.5-6.5 down to 2-6).

No graphics or performance improvement for old games running on the Switch 2 unless the publisher puts out a Switch 2 specific patch. Nintendo would rather have ugly games that work as expected rather than pretty games that introduce new bugs.

Sony sells (launch) systems at a loss, so they want people to stay on PS4. Nintendo makes a profit on systems, so they want to get as much demand as possible for launch systems, to attract third parties to the install base. They don’t mind selling 2 million copies this month and the other 98 million over the next 5 years.

It would be very short sighted of Nintendo to announce their new system and say that it is going on sale in 7 days. For one thing, it does not give any time for people to budget or save up for the purchase.

I have heard that this is in addition to the old system, not a replacement.

Based only on the trailer, I am guessing it is Animal Crossing but with your friends likeness instead of your friends’ fursonas.

Is this and Super Smash Bros the only two Mii games for the system? Was Mii Fighter even in Smash Switch?

You and I are very different then. If I tell someone that dinner is at 6 and they give me a thumbs up, I would interpret that as “I acknowledge that I heard you and have no objections. It is not worth taking my attention off of whatever I am doing.”

1. I assumed that the code was running on a machine that Lu controlled.
2. Most companies I have worked at had code reviews, but it was on the honor system. I am supposed to get reviews for all the code I push to main, but there is nothing stopping me from checking in code that was not reviewed (or getting code reviewed and making a change before pushing it). My coworkers trust me to follow the process and allow me to break the rules in an emergency.

I assume that the PS5 Pro is great for its target audience: people who care about getting the best possible graphics on a console. They bought it, they tried it, they loved it, and they praised it. The issue with the PS5 Pro is that not everyone fits into that niche. For people who are not playing on giant 4K TVs, what is the benefit? What does it provide that a regular PS5 (or even a PS4) does not? Sony has not provided an answer, from what I have seen.

Those are still half height cube walls. It is a bit more privacy, but still has noise isolation issues. I miss head height cubes.
