My personal experience with Xbox cloud gaming over extremely fast wifi was:

  • Decent enough performance for turn based games, too laggy for realtime action

  • Queue times up to 15-20 minutes to start a stream at peak hours

Famiboards mod did a tarot reading about the Switch 2 reveal:

17362856597083790827971547989928

The Five of Swords (Reversed) represents Compromise, Moving on, Open to Change, End of Conflict.
The Nine of Pentacles (Reversed) represents Setbacks, Poor Investment, Burning out, Undeserved rewards.
The Four of Wands represents Celebration, Prosperity, Surprise, Earned success and Joy.

My reading on it that It’s Happening .

The themes of compromise and end of conflict signal that the big wait for the reveal is over. It’s time to move on from Switch 2 speculation to Switch 2 enjoyment, and go through the period of “what do we speculate about next?”.

There’s been setbacks during this, though! We know the Switch Pro was internally canceled, and this generation has been super long. Launch Switches are definitely burning out, and the theme of undeserved rewards clearly speaks of Nintendo still getting pretty good sales numbers with no new hardware. I’m assuming the poor investment might have something to do with Samsung somehow, that kind of fits.

Soon, we will get to celebrate the reveal and launch of the Switch 2, with all the joy and surprises that come from the launch lineup - something that will definitely earn Nintendo a lot of money, and an earned success.

For the record, this deck correctly predicted when we’d see the first Metroid Prime 4 trailer. So we’re rolling with a 100% success rate in here.

It’s happening fam.

I heard about the Pathologic 3 announcement some time back. But a prologue demo was also announced, just not sure when. Thought I’d share it here for those curious.

Nice Famitsu piece on Shenmue’s development for the 25 year anniversary.

Apparently there were functional PS2 and Xbox ports of part one! Everyone was hooked on Mahjong!

Outside of these choice facts there are some nice anecdotes but Google translate is doing all the heavy lifting here;

“We made a rule that people who thought it was better to drink alcohol were allowed to drink, and this rule proved to be extremely effective.”

Tag yourself, I’m “the woman at Yokosuka Port [who] spread her legs 180 degrees and flew over the sea at high speed.”

Absolutely mystifying how Forever Entertainment keeps getting the go ahead to make terrible looking versions of old games.

They were so quiet for so long this one I assumed it was cancelled.

That means the Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake gotta be this summer.

It’s still so wild to me how Sega just seemingly, freely licenses out some of their games for this stuff, so you’ll see House of the Dead or Front Mission (Square, I know) without any of the top-dog publisher branding.

Just feels like seeing those cartoon DVDs with the hand drawn cover that’s like 20 decrepit VHS transfers of Looney Tunes and Popeye at the dollar store. Looking around nervously all “is this OK, is this legal…”

i like the panzer dragoon remake and i love streets of rage 4 and shenmue iii, but this looks shit. if it weren’t for the ui elements, i would’ve thought there was some sepia filter over the footage, but they really did just make the entire game brown like it’s 2009
