@axelhander how much experience do you have with working with big brand companies?

@progx That's way too much logic....

@N00BiSH not counting Smash players...

@N00BiSH naivety overdose in the comments.

@nhSnork I said the other week I think they’re clearing space for the main Direct. I could be wrong of course.

@Baker1000 things like that don’t happen overnight, that could have been in development for ages. Got a link though? Curious to see what it says. I heard a rumour about larger carts but hey, it’s the internet.

@Willo567 disengage, they've only been here an hour...another account set up for one reason.

@Yalloo It's a US survey, not European.

I love Virtua Fighter. Looking forward to this.

@IronMan30 That explains a lot for the way things have been going around here recently...we're getting the trolls from other sites, probably sitting their bans out on other sites so they're spreading their wings.

@Debo626 Speaking of which, look above your post...

@DiamondJim I think there's a typo there. It's sold millions in Japan on the Switch.

@Enigk it would be funny to see pitchforks and flaming torches over Octopath. Middle of Times Square. 60,000 hardcore soldiers…actually more like 30. 😀

@UltimateOtaku91 I think the vast majority of people don’t care about key cards. But we’re in a microcosm of die hard enthusiasts who assume their opinion is that of the entire world. It’s not. The vast majority of people who take part in this hobby who don’t frequent gaming sites or Twitter don’t even realise there’s this “crisis” going on. Storm in a teacup, storm at the very back of the library, storm at the back of Games Workshop after hours…etc.

@Debo626 I checked the dude’s post history. Holy cow it’s depressingly negative. I don’t know how people keep it up.

@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.
