I think we should fight for better digital ownership while we still have time

No Switch 2 enhancements leads me to believe that they're still planning a $20 Switch 2 Edition + DLC for later.

I’ll probably grab it once version 1.3 hits Switch 2. Seems with the dynamic music being fixed, all if my major issues with the release will be resolved then.

Interesting for Nintendo to say that acquisitions are part of their growth strategy since they've been saying that they prefer organic growth until now. Still I imagine they don't have anything big in mind. Probably looking at some of their existing close partners like HAL and Intelligent Systems.

Halloween…

Luigi’s Mansion with surround sound is so good…

Also note it is canon that Pikmin “cannot be seen with the naked eye”, as stated on the official Pikmin Bloom site. Sources: www.nintendo.com/jp/interview... www.pikminbloom.com#whats-pikmin... 2/

In Pikmin 4 Ask the Developer, Miyamoto-san literally said: “ピクミンは、あなたの近くにいるよ” → Pikmin are close to you (The official English transcript is “Pikmin are all around us” instead, because they translated it idiomatically instead of literally.) 1/

Last time Nintendo uploaded a trailer with no context we got Emio so I'm excited to see what this will be. Especially since this is obviously something Pikmin related.

Some day Nintendo fans will understand that Nintendo treats its universes as piles of beloved music and iconography to be remixed and recontextualized into fun new games and not an interconnected linear narrative linked by causality But it is not this day

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

I'm not at all surprised that Yacht Club was able to get Switch 2 dev kits but I do wonder how it benefits a game like Mina The Hollower. Doesn't seem like a game that needs it.

Dear me, I was… launches July 31 Interactive adventure game Dear me, I was... will launch for Switch 2 via Nintendo eShop on July 31 for 850 yen, Arc System Works announced. It will support English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese…

My town sounds like it’s in the middle of a war zone. I feel really bad for emergency room workers all across the US tonight…

worth pointing out that game devs at xbox are some of the very few people at microsoft engaged in work that people actually want. no one wants copilot. no one wants to rely on windows anymore. no one wants teams and no one wants drone targeting AI. but i do want pentiment

15 years of Xenoblade Chronicles!

Sony keeps chasing the live service trend Xbox keeps pushing subscriptions But Nintendo knows where the real money is - virtual idols

I was hoping for a June Direct but seems pretty clear now that we're getting a Nintendo Today Direct. Splatoon 3 ver. 10.0/Raiders announcment and now a Donkey Kong Direct both announced in Nintendo Today. I honestly expect a few more Nintendo Today announcments thoughout the month now.

doodle. write poems you never show anyone. make banana bread. take pictures of birds. grow a plant. the goal isn’t to build job skills or “become a creative” it’s to just fool around and experience yourself and the world around you

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

$10 less then it launched on other platforms and includes the season pass. A surprisingly a decent offer tbh

Well, that was a dream come true. Knew it wouldn't last, though. Out of a job at the moment. But I'll always be doing patreon.com/gamemess

I spent over an hour last night messing with virtual game cards and I think I have a very good understanding of how it all works now but I am not at all surprised that I haven’t heard an accurate explanation of it in any video I’ve listened to today so far

It costs a pretty paltry annual sum to support the Game Preservation Society, which has been doing the heavy lifting of safeguarding Japan's game history. It's a shame they're in such dire straits, so if you've got the ability to help support I highly recommend it.

THE MUSIC WAS STOLEN TOO

Oh my god

I think Luigi’s Mansion 4 has a very high possibility of being announced in a June Direct and released in October.

I think it’s finally AM2R time

The Last Story was a beloved Wii RPG. But Expedition 33 is a beloved Oui RPG.

With the US Nintendo site finally adding Switch 2 games, I'm noticing that Zelda BotW and TotK don't list Japanese as a supported language.

Fast Fusion (Switch 2 Digital) preorder is $14.99 at Best Buy buff.ly/jFQlOpZ GameStop buff.ly/zy8H9DW this is actually cheaper than the previous game (Fast RMX is $19.99)

Via @marveloususa.bsky.social All of their currently planned Switch 2 Retail Titles will be fully on cart. No Game-Keys! Have said it prior, but if any of these games are up your alley and you’re a physical game fan, would definitely recommend supporting them.

I’m very happy I got a Target Switch 2 pre-order in at 12:03 Just trying to help my brother get one now

I don’t personally care for getting physical media anymore but I do feel like the better solution would have been to explain that the cards are expensive to make and then price the physical higher than digital.

I went down a rabbit hole into the "physical Switch 2 games cost $90" claim and found a self-feeding cycle of misinformation that speaks to how Google is making us all dumber. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-sw...

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

My opinion on Switch 2 prices is that it's an economics issue. Trying to focus in on a single company for adjusting prices in accordance with inflation is missing the forst for the trees.
