I’m not a huge fan of either, but the NA/EU version is a little more boring. It is better box art, though, (I feel like JP could be the cover to a dozen or so Yoshi games), so maybe O should have gone with that?
@UpsideDownRowlet I personally don’t see the point in arguments like that. New consoles being readily available in retail environments at MSRP is better than new consoles being incredibly scarce and thus immediately bought out when available just to be sold on the second-hand market at double the price.
P.S. Just feel the need to clarify that I’m aware you’re being sarcastic.
@MamaSymphonia To be fair, the PS3 was an advanced piece of tech with capabilities well beyond the previous generation of consoles. It probably would have done a lot better had the Xbox 360 not released a year earlier at a lower price
@LazyDaisy Except that 99% of complaints about Nintendo and the Switch 2 are outright ridiculous. “Welcome Tour should have been a pack-in!” As if anybody would truly care if it were. “The games just aren’t as good these days!” Take off the nostalgia goggles. People 50 years from now are going to pretend that this era of gaming was the industry’s peak, just like how people today think the 64 is the greatest thing ever. “It’s incredibly overpriced!” The console itself? No. That’s just stupid. Xbox Series X consoles are going for $600 these days, and for our sanity I think we should avoid mentioning the PS5 Pro. Are the accessories overpriced? Yes. Very. Are the games overpriced? It depends. Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 updated version of SMPJ are definitely overpriced, but stuff like the BOTW and TOTK upgrades are fairly priced. “Nintendo is so money-hungry and has gone too far with its anti-consumer practices!” First of all, Iwata is gone. Only God knows if we’ll see a guy like him again. With that out of the way, we have to face the facts: it has always been this way. They sold the Virtual Boy. The 64. The Wii U. The 3DS. All of these consoles launched in underwhelming states, and the Wii U and 3DS were arguably more overpriced at the time compared to the Switch 2. Were the games cheaper? Yeah. Were they far more barren? Heck yeah. While many complaints about the Switch 2 are perfectly valid, most of them are completely overblown and aren’t going to lead to anything.
@Switching Nintendo has very much screwed things up big time before. The Wii U saga, the later years of the Switch, the Switch 2 in its early months, and so on.
By looking at these images, it is clear that Nintendo is emphasizing the large hands of the adults, implying that a Nintendo Switch 2 XL is soon to release for those whose large palms make it uncomfortable to use the normal-sized device in handheld mode.
Hopefully this’ll encourage them to release the new Animal Crossing, SSB, and traditional 3D Super Mario game sooner rather than later (and a little cut on the price of accessories would be much appreciated)

@RobbySuave I meant MLB. My bad
Re: MLB The Show 26 Skips Switch 2 Release As Sony Sticks With Switch 1
Why would you give a card to the guy who’s one card away from victory?
Edit: Oh wait, EA forced them to make The Show a multi-plat series, in that case I don’t know why they’re skipping Switch 2 for now
Second Edit: Dang it I meant MLB

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.5.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@FlyingDunsparce
Sounds like
A) translation error
B) someone’s pulling our leg
C) NL screwed up and MK8DX got an update addressing that issue since it’s actually possible there
D) some people were somehow able to mod the game and use Kamek’s model or something like that
or
E) someone let the Kamek out of the bag

@Jokerwolf …it’s a different ball design that doesn’t do anything different from the regular ball. It will hardly be a noticeable difference.
