The more you tighten your grip, Nintendo, the more leaks will slip through your fingers...

Are there that many fans of Croc that would actually pay $130 for a Collector's Edition?

Whew! All of President Hudson's signs are safe thanks to this extra stability.

Hilarious and adorable. I laughed out loud when Luigi started yelling "oh-no-no-no-no-no!" after he lost control.

I actually understood that reference...

Ninja,... Ninja -RAP!
Ninja,... Ninja -RAP!

I can tell a lot of people in the comments have never been to a museum or an art museum before.

@Serpenterror How could you forget Metroid Prime 2?

Mmmmmmm.... Pikmin.......

Super Mario Bros. 2 being so low is criminal. It's so much more inventive and interesting than a lot of the other more formulaic games. It should be much higher up, maybe right behind Wonder.

@AfroMario YES! I can hear it in my head, clear as day!

Me, standing in the corner here, looking at the ground, and thinking "The only true voice of Mario is 'Captain' Lou Albano."

I bet the title is actually "Split Screen."

@Erigen Because frogs are our friends!

Arco is a good game.

@boxyguy That's just Asmongold. Pay it no mind.

I think it could work for a full game, but not in Grezzo's style. I would think something a little more fluid and dynamic, like Metroid Dread or Hollow Knight, would be more appropriate. A proper Metroidvania style could be very cool.

Does this thing not come with an instruction manual? I guess I shouldn't be surprised since they don't even give you a USB wall plug.

@russell-marlow Yeah, if only you could unsubscribe any time you choose. What jerks!

@rvcolem1 What would you prefer?

My Switch is so stable it's holding up President Hudson signs.

No matter what other horrible things are going on in the world or in my life, at least I know my Switch is stable. That is something. At last, that is something...

@Tobiaku They didn't "uglify" the actress due to pandering, but due to logical art direction. Just give it a modicum of thought. The character from Outlaws, Kay Vess, is a scoundrel, a thief living on the underbelly of society. She's living a hand-to-mouth existence on the fringes of the galaxy. Realistically, such a person would not look like a supermodel.

I don't consider this pandering. I consider it logical art direction and logical storytelling. I challenge you to actually play the game. I've put 50 hours into it and I've seen nothing that resembles pandering. I'll give you the new AC game, sure. That does seem like pandering. But Outlaws? No.

@Tobiaku Have you actually played Outlaws? Can you give me an actual example of this pandering? So far, it seems like that this so-called "pandering" is the real "mythical" element.

@Tobiaku What is the audience that Star Wars: Outlaws game pandered too? I've played through it and I didn't see any pandering. If they pandered to anyone it was Original Trilogy Star Wars fans, like me. And Han Solo and Chewbacca fans.

@Krull Yet they mentioned Mac going back to 1984.

Obviously, a teenager did this (or younger). PC gaming did not start in 1993. It goes back to the early 80s. Probably earlier than Apple, although Apple did have games on their other computers too, like the IIgs. Kid probably doesn't even know what MS-DOS is.

@Bonggon5 No, it wouldn't kill anyone but it would cost money.

@CaleBoi25 The problem isn't 30 fps. It's the constant jumping between 30 and 60 that creates a lag. In Link's Awakening it felt like you were fine and then you were moving through molasses. It was that constant cycling between "normal" and "molasses" that felt uncomfortable to play.

@LavenderShroud it's not about "fast moving" or "high res." It's about smoothness and lag.

@Rhaoulos Yes, I am definitely looking forward to the next stability update to stabilize things and, of course, to censor any bad words.

@stephajnan Yeah, it's not really a museum then, is it? More of an art gallery or something.

"Continuing the tradition of releasing golden, Zelda-themed hardware – which dates all the way back to the GBA era..."

Technically, this started with NES as the cartridges for the OG Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link were completely gold.

Sounds like this will replace joy-cons as the new point of failure that will constantly break on people.

@Samalik My favorite part will be when Jason Momoa yells "it's craftin' time!" and then crafts all over the place.

@Zuljaras Oh sorry, I guess I read your post too quickly. Half-Life 2 VR is cool too! But know that you're in for a real treat when you finally get Alyx!

@Zuljaras I wish I could play Half-Life: Alyx for the first time again. What an absolutely incredible experience. Enjoy it!

Thinking about it now, it would be cool if Nintendo tried a 2D-3D type style, similar to Octopath Traveler, for a Zelda game. I think that could look pretty cool.

@Sonicka Not according to the famed John Linneman from Digital Foundry. Here's a tweet where he talks about it: https://x.com/dark1x/status/1743280922659635688

That thread, and others, are full of snippets of people talking about it.

There are a number of tweets and articles where he mentions it which you can find if you Google around.

@LavenderShroud Back in the 90s most games were 60 fps. It wasn't until the PS3/360 era that 30 fps became the norm.

@Johnny44 I understand all that and agree with you. I'm just saying there's no evidence people are actually using the guide yet. They're just posting it up because, well, it's their job. Might as well post it now, while they have time, instead of months from now when they'll be busy with other things.

"...the company isn't all that invested in the console wars narrative..."

That may be true now but, as someone who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, there was definitely a time when that was NOT the case.

@Johnny44 "...people use it immediately because it’s there instead of using their brains a little first."

Now, how would you know that?

@Johnny44 "Give people a chance to enjoy it and explore on their own first!"

They are. No one's forcing you, or anyone else, to read it. The guide is here if, and when, people need it.

@JohnnyMind Nice! That sounds cool. I'll definitely check out the PC version, then. Thanks!

Does it have to be a turn-based game, or can you make an "Action-RPG?"

@HatesCheese Oh really? Whatcha mean?

@dew12333 Get rid of Hori?! Why? Hori's great. Their Split-Pad Pro actually makes Switch playable in portable mode for people with big hands, like me!

@Zach777 Dude, you got a couple big spoilers in there.

Sure looks like pretty much all these games suck. Fascinating.
