@GrailUK Don't know what that dude is talking about, the game is damn solid.

Well I suppose I'll have to take a journey to my nearest Walmart then

I am surprised this hadn't happened yet honestly

Updated mine already lol. Mario on the fat yoshi is a peak icon

That "phantom agent" fix is very appreciated. It was hilarious, but I'm glad it's fixed.

@boxyguy Maybe you're right (and I hope you are), but I honestly have no idea lol. My brain is crazy tired lol.

@TheSaneInsanity Whack auto-correct lol

That lap course frequency update better actually help this time. Though it would actually be really funny if it doesn't

Edit: It doesn't. It's not for online. I cannot read today

@LazyDaisy I don't think this is about cross saves at all. The game is optimized terribly in its current state. I doubt they're even close to having a competent Switch 2 version to sell.

This is the most hyped I've ever been for merch lol

Interestingly, it seems like it you preorder VII remake on the eshop, you get the original VII as well, which is a cool bonus.

@CobaltFan Yeah it you like the first Galaxy game, then I'd think you'd get good value out of Galaxy 2.

This better be one heck of a tennis game if you're charging 70 bucks

Yeah I ain't getting around to this for a while lol. Dk bananzo 100% was long enough as is.

@Pickettfury And the funniest part is that your way makes way more sense than ours

As an American, this image confused me

@AlanaHagues I think y'all might've listed the wrong price. It says 80$ in the article, but on Steam it's 70 and the Switch 2 version is listed as 70 on Amazon.

Just pretend I said some clever insult about Ubisoft here. I don't have the mental energy to come up with anything right now.

Really excited for the game, but why does James Bond look so much like a younger Tom Cruise? Surely I can't be the only one seeing this right?

Just a heads up, I'm pretty sure that ESRB description is just a placeholder. It's just saying that it CAN include that content, not that it does.

@Zuljaras It is absolutely insane to me that people would prefer a Physical release over a decent framerate, but more power to you I guess.

That's unfortunate, but it wouldn't be surprising. Elden Ring is not really the best optimized game out there.

I don't believe you

Yeah it's 100% happening. Let's move on.

Wait what? That's awesome! Very curious to see how it'll run, cause it is a notoriously demanding game.

So, we playing real tracks for this event, or is it straight lines?

@Nintendumb Wait hold up you're cooking. But also for clarity I have no beef with Palworld I'm just enjoying the comedy that is this situation.

Edit: Why did you feel the need to bash on people playing Splatoon though? That was just uncalled for.

Well now we need someone to rip this one off. The cycle must continue!

Maybe? If I'm bored I'll probably give it a go.

It is a little funny that the video only plays at 60 though lol.

I wonder how much the success of the Demon Slayer game is tied to the success of the new Demon Slayer movie that released recently in Japan. The movie is already in the top 10 highest grossing movies ever in Japan even though it just came out.

1008p is a very funny resolution.

@somnambulance Yeah I get that. When I'm not sure what I'm playing next, it absolutely destroys my desire to actually beat games too lol.

@somnambulance 2023 was absurdly stacked yeah. I do agree that I would love updates on stuff coming out, but I guess I'm not one to stress over it I guess. Also I probably only play somewhere around 8-12 new releases a year normally, so that might be part of it too. But yeah the 2023 point makes sense. It was an insane year of quality and quantity that may not be matched for a long time, so I think that "jet lagged" feeling as you put it makes sense.

@DonnieTACO My understanding is those early milestone numbers are units shipped, not sold. Could be wrong about that though. But I don't even know what point we're discussing at this point tbh. My previous comments explain that they've clearly sold WAY over 200k units in the time frame (probably around the 2 million mark). I feel we've lost the plot a little lol. As far as why Nintendo reports what they do, as stated I really don't know. They always hold a financial report early August and they always only have numbers through June 30th. This is what they've done for years. That's all I've got.

@DonnieTACO I don't know man, I don't work there. The August financial report always only has concrete numbers through June 30th. It's probably cause retailer data is what they're waiting on, but I couldn't say for certain.

@somnambulance I can see where you're coming from. I just am shocked you say you don't have stuff coming out you're interested in. Personally I've struggled to keep up with all the stuff coming out the last few years and still have so many I want to go back and play. Though I do overall agree that Nintendo's last year (2024) wasn't very good though.

@rjejr Yeah but I redid the math and it's definitely way over a million since then. Considering since June 30th they've sold 480k in Japan, and Japan makes up less than a quarter of their console sales, they probably sold at around 2 million total worldwide in that untracked time frame. At least that's what makes sense to me, but I would love to here your perspective if it differs.

@DonnieTACO firstly, I edited my last comment to prove what I'm saying in case you wanted to see that. Their cap at 6 million is because they don't have solid numbers past June 30th. This is pretty consistent for their investor meetings in early August, as those numbers always are as of June 30th. But they can confidently say they've passed six million since, even without solid numbers outside of Japan. Hope that makes some sence. Sales numbers tend to lag behind a bit, so their date is old as it always is.

@DonnieTACO 3rd paragraph. Also @rjejr is misunderstanding the numbers. They only have solid numbers through June 30th. The over 6 million number is just them estimating that they've sold at least 200k units in the past 3 weeks which they obviously have. Pretending the new console has only sold 200k in the last 3 weeks is a little silly and clearly not understanding what it's saying.

Edit: As of July 24th, it had sold 1.75 million units in Japan alone, 480k above where it stood at June 30th. So realistically worldwide it's probably at least a million above where it was on June 30th.

@DonnieTACO "As of 30th June, Nintendo had sold 5.82 million Switch 2s". Direct quote from the article. Please learn how to read, it's good for you

@somnambulance Tbf, this first party announcement strategy isn't that unusual. They usually don't reveal much until it's actually close to coming out. We've gone into most years for like the past five saying "where are the games?" And they always show up. I wouldn't worry about it personally.

@Willo567 Yeah, there's a real villain to blame here and it's not Nintendo.

@DonnieTACO These numbers are as of June 30th, so one month in, not two months.

That Switch 1 version is gonna be rough lol

What a pointless trailer lol. We learned pretty much nothing new.

I'll definitely buy Madden in like 6 months when it's like 20 bucks lol. Although as a huge football fan, Madden on a handheld is very compelling.

Just a note on FF IX remake: I think Nate said it may have been cancelled.

Wait, did they fix the thing? I'll have to test it out I guess. Cool if they did, but I'll probably still stick to discord rooms.
