But is that anything new either? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Nintendo promoting specs since the N64.

Hmm I’m not sure I follow the author’s argument here. Nintendo hasn’t been trying to keep up with the power of Xbox or PS consoles for years, that’s nothing new. But the Switch 2 is essentially a Switch with some upgrades and… better specs. If they’d ‘moved beyond specs’ then they’d have no need for a new Switch model.

It’s a pokemon eat pokemon world out there…

I haven’t played a Pokemon game since Sword and Shield, but it looks like they’re doing some interesting new stuff here and shaking up the battle system. I’m quietly optimistic!

Just had the bathroom flooring redone and some boxing removed, which has exposed some wall that wasn’t visible before. Need to fill in, sand and repaint this section so it matches the rest of the room!

Do 4D beings have 3D puzzles that would have the same issue for us? 🤔

Ughh yeah the metroids you mentioned were such a pain. If I remember correctly there was an annoyingly long section you had to climb up whilst fighting those things.

I’m playing through Persona 3 Reload. Has been nearly two months since I started it at this point but I am really enjoying it, and the characters are great.

I’ve just started playing Super Mario Wonder on the Switch (a Valentine’s Day present from my partner). It’s excellent! Such a fresh take on the Mario formula. I never know what to expect going in to each level (singing piranha plans?) but it’s left me smiling each time :3

Oh I missed that! But wait, where you can buy half an avocado? Why would you only want half?

What can I say, it just feels more authentic that way

Went on 4chan, they called me gay

What more can I say?

Just had the Dune Spice Opera album on in the background whilst at work. Damn, what an amazing soundtrack.

After replacing my original joy con sticks about 5 times, I got hall effect replacements and so far have had zero issues. So I really hope this leak turns out to be true!

Oh damn, that’s such a shame. This place isn’t that far from me, and I had a great time when I visited before. Once they’re back up and running I highly encourage people to check it out!

I think it’s a really clever game, though sometimes a bit too clever for its own good. The ‘aha’ moments I had throughout were extremely satisfying, especially the ones that made you think outside of the box (like one particular puzzle that made you look somewhere you wouldn’t expect). But as you say, those last few characters did require some guesswork because the clues were extremely vague/esoteric, and that made the game fizzle out a bit at the end.

Overall though it’s among the best puzzle games I’ve ever played.

I feel like the Game Boy Camera was quite unique at the time, because not many people had cameras back then. Nowadays nearly everyone has access to a camera on smart devices that are in all likelihood significantly better quality than something Nintendo could affordably release as a peripheral. What benefit would there be to a Nintendo specific product?

It’s a cute idea but realistically I don’t see it happening. There’s nothing stopping you from making videos on your phone and playing around with some free/open source video editing software though!
