last nintendo thing i bought was a 3ds. it was good. one day i'll play that zelda game, maybe

this

I don't believe them. I saw that videochat framerate.

Not specifically, it's confusing lol. There's two types of updates:

• Paid "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" upgrades. For older titles getting these like BotW they're adding in some extra features in addition to the performance enhancement. Like they're adding a bunch of Mario Party games that use the camera and such, and a DLC for Kirby. There's also going to be new games released in two versions, one for Switch and one for Switch 2, that will just be the performance upgrades. If you don't pay more, you don't get better performance.

• There's a few games getting free updates that improve the performance on the Switch 2. These are different games than the ones getting Switch 2 editions.

It's complex but in a very Nintendo way, in that they smooth over making you feel like you're getting screwed. Like you'll feel screwed but still buy it? Like the least interesting "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" is the ones for BotW and Tears, so they're bundling that with the upgraded online subscription a lot of people already have.

Whatever it is what it is.

theyre red now so probably a red flavor

Thanks to the system's performance capabilities, Nintendo eShop on Switch 2 has been improved and runs smoothly even when displaying a large number of games. We believe the act of finding the game you want to play is itself part of the game system experience.

the biggest news of the day is that the eshop will run smoothly in any circumstance

With their tongues, I think

i imagine there'll be a price drop on the system in a year. either way i'm probably gonna get one used in two or three

I can't find the details, does this mean the DLC upgrades are paid, but frame rate/resolution boosts are free? This seems sensible if so.

I don't mean to defend Nintendo though, all of these pricing details are small straws upon the camel's back of Evil Activities. Metroid Prime 4 is going to be like eating that super unethical bird

Apparently that game isn't really Bloodborne and it's 8p PvPvE so who knows lmao

I've calmed down a little now that I know there's some free switch 2 upgrades, including ones for the 2D Zeldas that I've wanted to play but found the unstuck framerate eye searing. They're also gonna have one for scarlet and violet which is good cause that one needs it

I suppose it'll depend on where they are relative to the sun. Maybe if I send them on an inclined trajectory, it'll go through some non-zodiacal constellations, and it'll break their brain trying to figure out what it means.

$450 isn't shocking and the "Switch 2" versions might be reasonable as DLC. But I had to search up the rest, I thought it was a joke. $80 Mario Kart? The introduction tour game costs money?

I'll probably get it for Prime 4 though. I guess Nintendo has to recoup the money they paid for thay Bloodborne 2 exclusive

THANK YOU NINTENDO for putting metroid prime 4 on the switch 1 so it will still work with the old emulators 🙏

I say as I'm probably gonna get one for dk

eahg

Motha Kadabra! How dare you ruse me like this?

you love to see it

Microsoft has more to lose from combatting piracy than the opposite so yeah I can see this. Like who cares money is elsewhere these days

good. easily one of the worst guys

yeah same. it's p neat

What the fuckin shit holy hell

Genuinely I have done this, some of them are more story focused than you would think. Like there's the "Crumpling paper into a microphone" type ASMR, the "Short little 10 minute scenario" type ASMR, and then there's this one channel I follow that is doing like 18 episode long one-person gay audio dramas

and also my japanese isn't very good

listening to asmr roleplay videos just because i like stories

i asked my friend to send me all his employer's volume licence keys, so i don't have to lie to my computer like this.
