Random: Nintendo Updates The Domain For Its Japanese Site

I hope that the n64-era game sites are still online.

Just casually confirmed the Nintendo Slash

@Hoshiko Nintendo Slash U!

So they've added an 'M'.

Which is letter number 3 in 'com'.

Hmmm.

What could M3 possibly signify?

It's a actually two additional key presses. There is an 'm' and a '/' to enter.

Edit: Rightly corrected that it's only one additional key press and not two!

Finally, Nintendo is trying to not be an insular company.

Now I just expect that NoA start to tell people that there is no "NoJ", but NCL instead. Even Reggie said NCL, but we still see people calling "NoJ", lol.

@gcunit Surely it means Metroid: Other M trilogy collection (including two brand new Other M games!) is just over the horizon

@Reiditandweep I daren't even speak of such dreams for fear the light of day causes them to decay before they can grow.

Inflation everywhere these days.

New wave race confirmed 😆

This is definitely the final key needed to confirm the possible rumor that the Switch 2 will be revealed soon within the next 3 years

@Nintyname
There's one additional key press, as the second "." has been replaced by the "/"

If I had to guess, they probably just wanted it all under one domain, so in order to keep Japanese websites separate, they use a slash to say "this is part of the domain". It could also just be a formality idk

@Rambler you're right!

Slow news day huh? xD

@gcunit finally, a proper sequel to E3! i always knew reggie had it in him

I expect we'll be getting a similar one in other places. They're probably just making it so they can market a singular "Nintendo.com" and have a redirect take folk to the appropriate "/country", easier, without any browser security panicking about a redirect to a different domain.

@epicgamner eventually, we'll get W3 and 33 (read it as three three)

@HammerGalladeBro god willing

The dot com era is back, baby

Could be a little off-topic.

Guess I should read more up on, but always wondered how online communication could be conflict between regions with different languages. Mainly with ‘gateways’ (perhaps not the right term) such as domain and email addresses.

I’m guessing English may be the ‘universal’ or even required language / alphabet when comes to (?)

Next gen starts here

Wouldn’t that be two extra key presses?
