@Ryu_Niiyama and bananas. Mustn’t forget the bananas.

@OorWullie yeah but Gamepass is full to the brim with western titles that Japanese people don’t care for, that would be a massive barrier to entry, plus it’s a western product.

Those Xbox numbers....ouch. Mario Kart's gonna Mario Kart it seems.

@Willo567 I get a feeling comments might get turned off in a bit.

@Enigk very highly doubt there will be riots in the streets over a super niche game, that if you asked anyone out in the general public how they feel about it would even know what you were talking about.

@IronMan30 you did indeed...you're part of the "good peoples" crew...

@Dr_Lugae he’s been here a week, no posts apart from casting doubt/concern trolling, opinion discarded.

@Medic_alert I'm sure it will carry on, but it is an article about console sales, not key cards, so technically comment sections are being derailed and taken off topic.

Nintendolife: Here's an article on the number of units the Switch 2 is selling.

The comment section: Key cards! Key cards! Key cards!

Also Trogdor wants to be woken up when it passes Wii U numbers. Shouldn't be hard to ignore his concern trolling really...

@KidRyan Yeah people are forgetting that I think. Typical that it's on while I'm at work so I have to be on radio silence until I get home!

@KidRyan it’s the only way to do it.

@SpacedDuck You've seen it early? Damn....no spoilers please!

Get the third parties out of the way to clear space methinks...

@SalvorHardin Sorry to hear that…

@Suketoudara Did he sound a bit nasal and on the verge of tears? That doesn't really narrow it down, sorry...

@Elitepatriot I don't have a Switch 2 yet, and we don't have dollars in my country. You said little Jimmy now his name is little Timmy? At least you do understand the concept of saving, so that's cool. Anyway hope you have a great weekend.

@Elitepatriot you heard of saving? Mad concept, you put some money aside for a little while and bang, everything is affordable. Works a treat. There's also Klarna, PayPal pay in 3....also who is little Jimmy?

@B3RTAY Hope it has a happy ending...

@Wood_Stick tell me about it…nobody outside of these niche circles cares.

Errrrr…..nah I’ll leave it.

@Elitepatriot Can I quote you on that?

I remember when people were saying nobody would buy the Switch OLED due to the excessive price. Question is will the Steam Deck reach Switch Lite Japanese numbers by the end of its life globally?

@AmplifyMJ Yeah but you're having fun, not getting worked up over a leisure activity!

@AmplifyMJ The dude is in his 40s.

@Duncanballs tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Imagine your legacy was fighting over framerates or review scores on the comment section of a very niche site where the vast majority of traffic never read the comments. Makes for a fantastic eulogy.

@Duncanballs fully agree on that, it’s knowing how to make that distinction. Being someone who’s had loads of hobbies, you learn to keep them “over there” and never let it affect real life, as 99% of people don’t care what you do.

“I’m a very serious gamer.”
Great, medal is in the post son…

Sounds like a massive stress reliever!!!!

@Shmoo sounds like one of my sarcastic posts! Needs quote marks though… 😃

@Duncanballs it always rains in the comment sections...I will likely pick this up when I get a Switch 2, looks great.

@jfp It's called nitpicking...

@Fiergala I had it on the Saturn and beat it - but the Saturn version never had any slowdown at all, the Saturn was a 2D monster. In the arcades I didn't have the same luck, sometimes the difficulty was dialled up in the cabinets for revenue purposes.

It was mad how the SNES went from Gradius and Super R-Type that were choking at the best of times, to Super Aleste, which ran superb.

@Chlocean almost there. It's "Wight then, let's get cwacking on!".

Did anyone here own a SNES? Holy cow there was some almighty slowdown in games on that console. But what happened? As time went by people worked out better ways to write their games. Strange that.

@Dr_Lugae the latter methinks...

In other news. I remember getting Bare Knuckle (Streets of Rage) on the MD, to get the most fun out of it we used to play 2 player on Hardest setting. What that meant was the screen would be full of sprites. More than the MD could handle but they still threw them in there! Did a count once, we walked as far as we could, and ended up with us and 30 enemies. Slowdown and flickering was through the roof, but we were thinking "now we're playing!!!" We pushed the game to its limits and we loved it...if it's not slowing down you're not playing it properly! Same with playing shooters in the arcade, if DoDonPachi or Parodius didn't grind to a halt you're not going in hard enough.

@Willo567 all he's done since he arrived on this site is cry nonstop...I don't even have to read his posts to know what he's gonna say. Quick skim and yep, moaning again. Non stop misery...glass half empty. Life's too short.

@The_Nintend_Pedant It was a mixture really, MD stuff I would rent out from Blockbuster etc and make a copy, or make copies of my games and give them to friends. SNES was different as I had a US model modded to play Japanese games plus the UK SNES stuff was a bit lame and 50Hz.

I got a lot of SNES stuff that were betas/unfinished/unreleased through people who knew devs, I think after a while you stop seeing value in the games when you don't pay for them and that's when something clicked. The conscience kicked in I suppose - plus that feeling of holding the packaging in your hand, taking the game out for the first time (even more so with Japanese imports), feeling the effort that went in.

@The_Nintend_Pedant that’s a great question…I will look at this tomorrow morning. Had a heavy couple of days, one of my best friends was over from NYC…we partied well…

@Fiergala it’s a mad one. Either way enjoy your weekend.

@Fiergala I appreciate a bit of back n forth but it has been a lil twitchy round here recently. Turns into “removed, flaming/arguing” in a heartbeat.

@Fiergala it was a hell of a long paragraph. Sorry. Going to disengage before the mods jump in and make this a mess as they always do…

@Samalik I’ve lived in poverty. I’ve slept rough. I’ve seen friends lose everything due to drugs and alcohol. Last thing on their mind was the need to play games. Your arguments are pathetic.

@Fiergala debates are a waste of time in here, as are reading walls of text. Basically people think they’re freedom fighters. Che Guevara. Spartacus. Whatever. They’re not. They’re just tight and hate spending money and make up grand excuses. “But what about this and what about that???!???” All nonsense. Don’t know if bo11ocks is filtered on here….

@RasandeRose tell me about it. Pathetic excuses. I’ve said numerous times in here that people resort to whataboutisms when their argument falls flat. They can’t answer your question so bring up something else. Can’t stay on topic ever.

@Samalik have a set of priorities like most normal human beings. Food, shelter, wellbeing, job. Quite straightforward really. Leisure pursuits should only come into play once you’re settled. If people think gaming is that important they’ve got serious issues…

@CaleBoi25 guy can’t make money out of it so therefore it’s crap. Funny how that works. People who can’t think for themselves in the comments: “the Switch 2 pro controller is crap! Anti-consumer something something preorder cancelled etc…”

E-waste. Nice. I need to add that to the bingo card, probably just next to bootlicker and to the left of anti-consumer. Imagine buying something and being in abject fear of it breaking all the time. Probably travel on buses wearing bubble wrap and helmets. Concerntrolltastic…😃

@Samalik if you can’t afford to buy stuff, games should be the last thing on your mind. It’s a luxury not an essential. Food and a roof over your head are much more important than something as trivial as games…whataboutery everywhere in here.

@Suketoudara I used to have a Magicom/MagicDrive dual system disk drive. Had tons of SNES and MD games. But I grew up and developed a realisation that doing this hurts the people putting the hard work in.

@Yozora146_ spoiled brat syndrome too…needs a Veruca Salt gif.
