Also “The top 10 things the new Switch HAS to have.” (A slideshow)

“True but they’ve got to weigh that against all the people who more recently bought Switch and those who they haven’t convinced quite yet.”

This will be true literally any time between now and the heat death of the universe. There will ALWAYS be a customer who buys the older version 3 hours before the new version is…

next month: 5 Things YOU NEED TO KNOW about the Switch Pro (rehashing the same stuff)

Next week: why were our predictions for the Switch Pro off?

This week’s video game podcasts:

That doesn’t at all change the point.

Regarding the artificially inflated prices: Why do EU gamers have to pay €60 for a digitally downloaded game that costs $60 in the USA when buying directly on platforms like Steam? It is not taxes that’s the cause. Luckily we can shop around online and find it cheaper (on that same platform) but most people are lazy…

Shitpump 45 has randomly put tarriffs on multiple Canadian industries for no really good reason over the last few years. Not unreasonable to think he might be a pissy little bitch and put some kind of hammer down on Shopify (or Canadian e-commerce in general) if they had done this last year.

I always thought that Ultimecia was the strongest FF villain. She managed to do time compression where nothing existed besides herself not even time.

Sigh... *unzips*

I mean I think it’s a weird thing, but I bought it, and I don’t see myself being outraged for future generations that can’t buy it. Some things are limited time in life. It’s the decision they made, it’s weird, but just buy it now if you want it. If you have that big a problem with it then don’t buy it. On the…

Jesus. Nathan you are on an entirely different level. You write almost exclusively about Twitch and Cam Girls (and how in the blue fuck either of those things are even tangentially related to video games still blows my mind) and you take time out to shit all over a game you haven’t even played. A game that literally…

I’ve already stocked up on popcorn for the coming backlash against Cyberpunk 2077. Watching everyone work themselves into a frenzy over this was at first mystifying, but now, as someone who was just a bystander watching it all unfold, I’m ready for the highly entertaining train wreck that is likely to follow.

they can get busy on Vagrant Story sequel and War of the Lion for Switch

Sounds great.
I’m in the animation industry in Canada and my hope is that we switch to WFH permenantly after ‘Rona ends. 

Oop, I’m back to defend the Wii U, which still gets a lot of play in my household. (Boyfriend is playing Xenoblade Chronicles X as I am typing this.)

Really weird to paint Nintendo negatively for, ya know, protecting their copyright and IP. They told the organizers to not use an emulator, mods, and pirated copies of the game. The organizers said no. The organizers decided to cancel the event instead of continuing with just Ultimate.

Well at least it was an ‘absurd’ reason instead of a ‘tournament players bad-touching minors’ reason that competitive Smash is known for.

It is about sales but you can make money off of being inclusive despite what people say. 

Also $114 in America, exact same unit probably costs about $250 where I am from, and then nevermind stacking that $180 up against discrepencies in cost of living etc.
