@rallydefault Yep. People get extra docks to take with them, but since the official one is extremely overpriced (as was the original Switch dock), people look towards third parties to do the job.
@Switching Sure. As long as we’re not talking about consumer-friendly tactics. Or game preservation that isn’t locked behind a subscription service. Or the Wii U. Or the GameCube. Or the 64. Or the Virtual Boy.
JP. Almost voted for NA due to how goofy looking it is, but it just isn’t as ridiculous as the NA Mega Man box art, which was so bad that it was actually good. NA here is just “okay”, but JP looks much more appealing
@Serpenterror Calling something a “fake game” just because it’s not on the cart is ridiculous. A fake cart, that makes more sense, but they’re still games.
@TheExile285 While it absolutely could be better, we do have to consider the fact that this is the first year of the Switch 2 being on the market - do they really want to focus on reselling a bunch of games for previous-gen hardware that can already be played on this fancy new console instead of making new installments specifically made for the Switch 2 that will do a much better job of showcasing it’s features? Of course, they should definitely ensure that games that struggled to run well on Switch 1 get updated to work better with the new hardware, but that should definitely be saved for later once it’s crystal clear that the Switch 2 is, in fact, a much more capable console than people think.

Re: Japanese Charts: Well, Look At Who's Snuck Back Into First Place
@Anti-Matter hasn’t commented yet? That…feels wrong
Oh, and good for Switch 2
Edit: That’s better

Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda

Re: Poll: Is Your Third-Party Switch 2 Dock Still Working After This Week's System Update?
@rallydefault Yep. People get extra docks to take with them, but since the official one is extremely overpriced (as was the original Switch dock), people look towards third parties to do the job.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@coolioam Because Wario’s number one
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@AndreyBoarao They’ll probably do some “they’re actually sisters” kind of shenanigan like how it was originally going to be
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
1) Same BGM for the first Movie’s reveal, which does not fit with this one
2) Where’s Wario?
3) What is going on with BJR’s voice?
4) Yep, it’s another Mario movie. So what the heck is happening?
5) Rosalina’s got the dash boots, I see. Can she wall climb, too?

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
I mean, I guess Mario’s design was also pretty jarring at first, but this? I don’t know, man. Those eyes…they scare me.
Re: Nintendo Launches Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Search Page
@sportymariosonicmixx It still has different hardware; it can’t natively play Switch games
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
Honestly looks fake to me
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Dragon Power (NES)
JP. Almost voted for NA due to how goofy looking it is, but it just isn’t as ridiculous as the NA Mega Man box art, which was so bad that it was actually good. NA here is just “okay”, but JP looks much more appealing
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th November)
Just got Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Loved the first game and never played the second, so this’ll be a thrill

Edit: Oh wait, that doesn’t change anything
Re: Nintendo Is Preparing For Even More Movies In The Future, Unsurprisingly
@Rhaoulos Would anybody really want to listen to Mario speaking in his usual voice for an hour and a half?

Still waiting on that Nintendogs film
Re: Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware

Re: Co-Op RPG 'Nicktoons & The Dice Of Destiny' Scores Free Switch 2 Upgrade Next Month
Perfect. 1239 would be too low, but 1241 is just too much for me. Nice to see they hit that sweet spot.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii Has Been Awarded One Of Japan's Highest Honours
Never played a DQ game, but still happy for him
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Animal Crossing: Wild World
Yeah, NA/EU for me. JP looks more like an amputation result rather than a showing of how each player has their own world

Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
@TheExile285 While it absolutely could be better, we do have to consider the fact that this is the first year of the Switch 2 being on the market - do they really want to focus on reselling a bunch of games for previous-gen hardware that can already be played on this fancy new console instead of making new installments specifically made for the Switch 2 that will do a much better job of showcasing it’s features?

@Flangela For the love of God, this article doesn’t mention anything about key-cards. Can we go for just five minutes without mentioning them?
