Switch 2 (part 1)

I’m enjoying my time with Mario Kart World but boy did they miss a great opportunity with Free Roam. At the very least, the roads should be filled with other online players. Everytime I see someone I’m tricked into thinking this is a multiplayer mode.

I’m mad I had to buy a Vita for Gravity Rush

I’m mad I had to buy a PS4 for Gravity Rush 2

I’m mad I had to buy a PS5 for Gravity Rush 2 Remastered (pending)

I think the atmosphere around the Switch 2 is just that people actively make money going on the internet and saying the dumbest and meanest shit and I would just ignore it

There’s a significant amount of people who have decided for one reason or another that Nintendo is evil and everyone who buys a Nintendo product is endorsing Nintendo’s evil.

I mean Nintendo has goons they send to peoples houses, that’s pretty evil imo

Not to mention their outright hostility to tournaments, Romhacks, and emulators.

I would say Sony and Microsoft have plenty of skeletons in their own closets but none of the big three are without sin, including Nintendo.

EDIT: They also fired that woman because her partner was a sex worker.

They worked to, and succeeded at, outlawing renting games in Japan too! The list goes on!

Nintendo broke the seal on $80 games just because they could, they deserve all the shrieking they get for the next few years for that alone.

you don’t give them enough credit

they tried doing it in America too, which is why games couldn’t come with their manuals when rented

How are there around 400 P Blocks in this game? I think I like that there is no minimap dotted with icons for convenient lawnmowing. It’s a good kind of boredom to just drive around lazily, notice the fine details, and try a challenge that could take me 10 seconds to 30 minutes to complete.

Nintendo sued Blockbuster over photocopied manuals, I think this was after they failed to block rentals by other means

Yeah, if there’s anything that’s actually different about this console launch, it’s that this is a much more lucrative … industry? … than it was when even the last major console launch, the PS5, happened almost 5 years ago. Gamerrage fuckin’ sellls.

Also, the launch and even near-launch slate is, like, hilariously thin.
