Apologies if I’m coming off too grumpy, I’ve just seen a hundred similar comments over the last 24 hours from people outraged that a company known for unfriendly practices in an industry full of other companies known for unfriendly business practices have continued doing the same unfriendly business practices that are already happening everywhere.

Fair point, but I still can’t imagine they’ll be double that price for long. The only GBP price I’ve seen for a Switch 2 game is the MKW bundle which is only £30 more than the console on its own.

Same as the current Switch online, Microsoft’s game pass, and whatever Sony offers then?

Aren’t consoles and their new game always ridiculously expensive on launch? I know Nintendo stuff often doesn’t drop in price that much but I’d be surprised if they stay this expensive for long. Plenty of other games to play in the meantime!

Nothing excusable about it, you just shouldn’t be surprised that big greedy corp wants to maximise profits, and that an open system can run more games than a locked down console

Were you expecting to have every game available from day 1? I’m sure they could, but they are a business and they probably want to make money.

Not sure if I like the 3D look, definitely keen to see more though

I missed this at the time, that fold-out keyboard looks incredible

Same in Summit. I guess there needs to be a standard that everyone follows, because currently I have a client which automatically handles normal other-instance links, and these link helpers actively break it!

As if an exe could truly understand unix socks

Interesting, does that mean there is just one primary account and to be part of a family group with it you essentially can’t have your own account or purchases?

Maybe get the cheapest micro sd card or usb drive you can find and install it on there? You could probably double your storage size for a couple of euros!

That’s probably because it’s a PC game that was ported to phones!

I suppose technically yes, but not in normal conversation (in Britain at least). It’s not like it’s completely nonsensical, but to us school is primary and secondary education, higher education is university; they’re distinctly different things and saying “gets kicked out of school” would be way less ambiguous.

I think it was a combination of more space on the cartridge and better compression algorithms. The rumour was that Iwata wrote some miraculous code that produced enough space to include Kanto too, but I think that’s apocryphal.

You can tell that Kanto was an afterthought by how easy it is in comparison, it was still great though

Yeah but that can be done after you’re finished, definitely shouldn’t be part of planning!

Is “blackout” a bingo term for filling every box, or just falling unconscious from overwork?

Because if they don’t then you can essentially just give a game away, and that means less sales

How would you make it so you can only share games with your family? As in what technical definition of “family” would you use that can’t include your friends?
