Just rang Nintendo support Australia. No change in their policy yet. I have two sets.
They have both been stuffed for over a year. No matter how many times you try and clean and re-callibrate it just gets worse over time. Poor design. I've had Nintendo's for thirty years . Worst controller yet for durability, Even worse than 64 floppy sticks.
My original launch joy cons I bought on day one. Started drifting after two months. And it's been a constant battle. They also often disconnect from switch in portable mode and have trouble connecting to switch when split in tv mode. Also the shoulder L and R buttons barely work. Cutest and least durable Nintendo controller ever.
The standards that are present or not present in Japanese gaming culture are out of step with current western ideals. It will be a PR disaster for Nintendo if the outrage brigade gets a hold of it.
I know what your saying about release dates. But there aren't really any rules just a designer or two thinking it would be fun. Also they were in co-development for at least 2 years before 64 was released. Ocarina was finalised within 8 months of m64 being released. You could also say that this release date disparity is a strong argument for the subtlety of the egg.
@Tyranexx what are the chances of this being a co-incidence really? One in million. ? Billion? Seriously you think it's more likely to be a random coincidence then a subtle painting Easter egg. Of which these development teams loved deploying. Ie Hyrule castle Mario pictures
@Anri02 ok, I disagree. I feel it is a strong connection. It would be infinitely improbable to be a random coincidence. Especially considering the relevant stars are yellow compared to the other white ones.
@Wanjia definite Easter egg. There are hidden Luigi ,mario and Bowser pictures in ocarina Hyrule castle. They were in development at the same time, both supervised and produced by Miyamoto. And both are his IP babies
@ThanosReXXX the switch has been out for 10 months. We've been waiting a long time for some of this basic functionality. Surely nintendo are listening to some degree
This looks very real. There is nothing in this article confirming fake. Not that chat thread linked titled "probably fake" and full of guesses. . Notice the microphone being pulled out

Re: Sega Not Worried About Overwhelming Audiences With Retro Content
Would help if they had made a decent game since 1991.
Re: Talking Point: The Sound Strategy Behind 2DS Points To A Switch Mini
It needs to be backwards compatible with original switch docks. For charging and tv play

@PoorGeno astronomically improbable coincidence*

Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@Anri02 too hard to see a link there ? 😉
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@Wanjia it's subtlety is it's strength I feel. 🖼️
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@Smigit I feel like it is a totally reasonable assumption and a cute little Easter egg.
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@carlos82 it's fairly specific. They are not random . They are even in the time signature to some degree
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@Wanjia looks pretty blatant to me. On YouTube search "hidden Hyrule paintings".
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@Wanjia definite Easter egg. There are hidden Luigi ,mario and Bowser pictures in ocarina Hyrule castle. They were in development at the same time, both supervised and produced by Miyamoto. And both are his IP babies
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@boneyard look up "hidden Mario picture ocarina of Time"
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@carlos82 for players with brains to notice. People did fairly well before this dang internet.
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
@Anri02 look up Mario Luigi hidden pictures in ocarina.
Re: Random: Have We Been Missing A Zelda Easter Egg In Mario 64 All These Years?
Of course it's real. Search "Hyrule castle Mario pictures ocarina " .
There are pictures of Mario, Luigi and Bowser in a window in ocarina. Can't believe it took this long to find it. Love it

Re: Rumour Buster: That New Switch Firmware 5.0 Leak Is Amazing, But Fake
@ThanosReXXX thats total speculation. This is not a controller for a highly anticipated console. It is a firmware update. Why bother
Re: Rumour Buster: That New Switch Firmware 5.0 Leak Is Amazing, But Fake
@ThanosReXXX the switch has been out for 10 months. We've been waiting a long time for some of this basic functionality. Surely nintendo are listening to some degree
Re: Rumour Buster: That New Switch Firmware 5.0 Leak Is Amazing, But Fake
