My thought is that they're using Galaxy to expand the other places they can visit. Sort of like the MCU. Now they can pull from other worlds across space or I guess possibly other dimensions or whatever.
@AppleBlade Totally. People can't have it both ways. This is really strong support with even some current titles and day-and-date releases. Parity with the other consoles is what we strive for, in some ways. Here some is.
That's a packed infographic, and those are JUST third-party offerings! Some good stuff here, peeps.
@JJtheTexan Yeah, it is curious. Well, I guess we'll just have to see if we learn anything else. If not, oh well. It's probably nothing important for us.
@Tyranexx Yeah, go for it. They're really fun movies. Crystal Skull just seemed to "jump the shark" for me. It got quite absurd and didn't seem to take things serious enough. Like, there's fun to be had in the original 3, but there were real stakes. They weren't being corny about it. I've never consumed any of the other content. Oh, but "Fate of Atlantis" (or whatever) on PC is also great. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
2 TB is the max Switch 2 can read, right? For a microSD Express card, I mean. I'm waiting for those to become a thing and then get to a price I feel comfortable with. I guess Switch 3 will be out by then. Honestly, I bought the Nintendo 256 GB one at launch, so a 1 TB card would probably be a nice bump anyway.
@JJtheTexan And they'll explain what it means? I try looking at OatmealDome's Bluesky, but it doesn't seem like they explain much anymore. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place? I also don't have a Bluesky account, if that matters.
I honestly want all of these. I'm not outraged about the format, but it is a bummer to have to download these massive games on the storage. I have so many... So, it is awesome to get a cartridge for Indy.
Is it best to play the previous Fallout games before 4?
@kmtrain83 It sounds like it's also that Nintendo is really good at optimizing their games. Plus, I mean, it's also their hardware. So they know the secret formula, so to speak.
Too bad they didn't allow previews for the cardboard one. I am curious whether it will be the same experience and options as the replica version. If it doesn't have a stand, are we meant to hold it up to our face the whole time? And use the Joy-Con while connected to the sides of the console? That sounds uncomfortable and tiresome. Though I'm not sure it feels comfortable to pay $100 for the main option.
@Captain_Konami WOW. Thank you for the real evidence. That's even more hilarious now. Though it's not surprising that people who act the most outraged are the ones that haven't even experienced it for themselves.
@kalosn That's a good point! I'm sure they will at least make an extra effort to get it on Switch 2, assuming they can. But why would they announce it and work on it if it was really that bad? I guess some people do that. I dunno.
Am I the only one who feels like the elemental, uh, elements look odd in this? I guess particularly the fire/flames. Is it just an art style choice? They look weirdly flat and low-rez. Unless I'm not looking at it in the right way.

Looks pretty good. Have the demo downloaded, so I'll try it soon.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A Brand New Teaser With An Iconic Boss
@Munchlax It would have to be, with how often everyone consistently brings up the same things they don't like over and over again. You're right!

@Tyranexx Yeah, great! I know I'm not the only one who enjoys that game, so there you go. Glad to hear it!

@DennyCrane So you think it could be some sort of code thing just to ensure proper compatibility?

Awesome! Thank you for the Switch 2 impressions update! I'm gonna dive back into this.
Re: Splatoon 3's New Job Scenarios Are Wrapping Up With The Next Eggstra Work Event
A Switch 2 Edition seems a bit extraneous now, doesn't it?
Re: Super Bomberman Collection Out Now On eShop, Full Cart Release Coming In August
So, no online multiplayer, correct?

@Koda1000 'Cause we are living... in a capitalist world, and I am a capitalist girl.
... you get it.
Re: PSA: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is Surprisingly Cheap On The UK eShop Right Now
Wow, a 20% early discount? That's crazy! That's probably better than a first-sale price.

@UpsideDownRowlet Mine already has. D;

Re: Oblivion, Skyrim And Fallout Switch 2 Physicals Will All Be Code-In-A-Box, Bethesda Confirms
@Jack_Goetz Ah, I wondered. Well, it's nice to have that chunk on the card, at least. I think.
Re: Oblivion, Skyrim And Fallout Switch 2 Physicals Will All Be Code-In-A-Box, Bethesda Confirms
@Tyranexx Ooh, I highly recommend the original trilogy. Particularly Raiders and Crusade. I haven't yet seen the newest one they did.
Re: Oblivion, Skyrim And Fallout Switch 2 Physicals Will All Be Code-In-A-Box, Bethesda Confirms
@RobLife1 It's possible. Do we have any other releases by them to go by?

Do you know what that means? Is it internal stuff? I'm just curious.
Re: Super Bomberman Collection Gets A Surprise Shadow Drop On Switch 2
This is cool. But unless there's legit single player or online matchmaking, I cannot enjoy.

Joking aside, thanks for the review. Gonna add this to my ever-growing wishlist. And subsequently, my stillneedtoplaylist.
Re: Nintendo Clarifies That Labo VR Will Not Work With Virtual Boy For Switch Online
@Nintoz It's probably a matte finish.

Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two
@kalosn Oh, interesting. Yeah, this is definitely more notable.
Huh. Well, I hope they can get it to work. Isn't Unreal supposed to be so scalable? Someone needs to figure it out.
Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two
This stinks. I hope it comes back.
