@tobsesta99 Because demographics still very much dictate profit, even though we may see past male and female in a social sense, it still very much is an important data point when it comes to business.
For example, according to this data, Nintendo needs to make steps to understand why Mario isn't as popular with female gamers. If they can fix that while maintaining the current audience numbers, that will yield more profit.

@Jackpaza0508 I'm in the exact same position as you, couldn't remember my game login and was rushed to grab a pre-order. I think we can call/email customer services quoting our order numbers but we can't view the status of our orders easily. Anyways I've only had the initial email too and so fingers crossed we both get our Switches!

Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music

@jetsetradion Most people mentioning e-shop music are not joking, we are pointing at the lack of whimsy and soul that the post Iwata-San Nintendo era has. A bit of music on the system is just the tip of the iceberg and easy to implement to satisfy the nostalgia heads. Music is the most powerful medium for conjuring memories, so game system specific music allows people to remember the console itself. I know most people just wanna play games at 4k 999fps, but for some the hardware user experience is very very important.
The Wii and DS era was full of brilliant hardware experiences, the Switch is just a soulless conduit to play amazing games.
