Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch OLED Model

You know, for something that was really pooh-poohed from the start, and going up against Steamdeck and all (surely Steamdeck will squash Nintendo, right? RIGHT?!?), it sure feels like this thing is selling out on a pretty consistent basis. Glad mine's all paid for.

What I find fascinating, moving forward, is how much big 3rd parties have let indies shine on Nintendo's console, and not necessarily for their benefit. I cannot fathom how Activision and EA have not put at least ONE Call of Duty or Madden on this system. This will not tarnish their brand so much as it will diminish it; the Switch could end up at the top of the heap, looking down on the PS2 and DS when it's all over. What would those (potential) 155+ million Switch owners think of those big 3rd party names that did not grace the system?

@Clarice
That's just poorly worded, and clarified in other articles. Here's one,“It wasn't that unusual during the early 1990s for the Top 30 to be a combination of Famicom, Super Famicom and Game Boy games, but never just one,” Game Data Library tweeted. “This is unprecedented, it’s the first time all 30 games are from the same system after the Top 30 tracked all platforms.”

"It's not all good news, though. I used one of the room's overhead LED spotlights to test screen glare, and there doesn't seem to be any protection against it, such as a new screen coating. This is a bit disappointing given how the Switch OLED's main improvements are for use in handheld mode."

It all sounds very impressive, but my eyes started glossing over halfway through the read. I could hear Bill Cosby in the back of my head blathering,"with the mips, and the maps, and the dithering and the puddin' pops." It just made me happy I just play games and don't make them. If you'll excuse me; I have to get back to Game Builder Garage now.

Re: Feature: Best Visual Novels For Nintendo Switch

This list feels incomplete. How could it not include The House in Fata Morgana; a game that, as of typing this, is the ONLY game one 100 score more away from toppling Ocarina of Time as the highest scoring game on Metacritic? Technically, being 6 for 6, one could argue it laready has.
