I'm personally not sure there is 'no crossover' between switch 2 owners and GTA6, the Switch/Switch 2 install base is too big and GTA sells in numbers that mean it clearly appeals to a broad demographic for there to be a limited intersection. A lot of the 'no crossover' feels a bit 'cope' about the fact the Switch 2 wouldn't be able to run it well enough for it to be worth it.
Never forget that - outside of specialist websites and yr algorithm bubble - the majority of people don’t think or care about the death of physical media
(I do by the way, I’ve been collecting games since the early 90s. But we have to be realistic that whilst gaming is the biggest entertainment industry in the world, a relatively small percentage of people are passionate enough about it in regards of how it is eventually delivered to them).
When you accept that post-capitalist western society is a doomed enterprise and that anyway born after about 1980 is forced to spend the majority of their productive years in a system that actively hates them and will not even have the comfort of an relatively secure retirement at the end of it all…..
It still actively sucks. But at least you know it’s coming.

I personally didn’t consider something created via prompts typed into A.I. art, but that’s merely subjective opinion. All things are not equal, and it’s that fact which create both the beauty and ugliness of life.
The latter half of your argument is supposed on remuneration being exclusively tied to capitalism, which it isn’t.
It's a series of four holidays clumped together, though it's almost never a Mon-Fri week and only three of the four are sequential. It's one of the few times Japanese office workers feel comfortable using their annual leave.
This year's fell nicely - I got a five day weekend without having to use any of my time off.
I was planning to get one in the summer when I visit the UK, so this might expedite that decision but I’m still underwhelmed by the first party offerings that I honestly don’t feel like it’s a ‘must have’ even a year in to it’s run.
I liked it and never had an issue with the controls - I managed to platinum medal/star all the levels. I always thought the dog piling on it was massively over the top.
So are they dropping the Project Zero name for European markets? I think this is the first Project Zero series game to receive a Fatal Frame title in the UK.
It's a shame people are defending Nintendo for its pricing strategies in this thread. It will encourage them to push exorbitant pricing even further in future. It's only ever the consumers that suffer, in the end.

Re: Opinion: 30 Years On, I've Finally Come Around On The N64 Pad
I've never had an issue with the pad, and have enjoyed using the Switch Online N64 controller whilst replaying Banjo, Zelda, DK64 etc.
The jokes about "ooh lol nintendo think we have three hands lol" make no sense, it's always been clear how it was supposed to be used.

Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake Is Real, And It's Launching This Year
The art style makes sense given Ocarina of Time was went for a relatively realistic art style in terms of what the N64 could achieve.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?

Virtual Boy WarioLand, Jack Bros are genuinely good. Mario Clash and Mario Tennis are fine. The rest are absolute bunkum.
