I think the fact is that Nintendo committed to launching with Zelda, and so they're launching with Zelda, even though a console launch at this time of year is basically unprecedented (the other factor I've seen bandied about is that this means sales count toward the current fiscal year). As a result, they really…

The Pro Controller for Switch includes all of the technology from the Joy-Con other than the IR camera, if I understand what I've been reading correctly, which is way more technology than what's in the Wii U Pro Controller. Accordingly, it seems implausible that they'll renege on that.

I saw a suggestion online that they never managed to make money on Wii U units, so there's not likely to be a price reduction. There are also almost zero units available—they stopped production late last year, and I saw reports of vendors sending unsold units back to Nintendo in preparation for the Switch launch. If…

If FIFA Switch is—as rumored—actually based on the 360/PS3 builds, there won't even be another iteration of it, presuming that those legacy builds won't exist a year from now.

"Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice, shame on you; fool me three times, and we've officially proven I'll just buy every Nintendo console no matter the third party support so you don't care what I think."

Best Buy currently has a deal where you save $25 on $100 if you use Visa Checkout, so combined with GCU I could get 1-2-Switch down to $30, which I decided was "I want a conversation piece to play with friends at launch" price level for me.

I have a Switch pre-ordered, and I feel comfortable saying that the answer is "poorly," given how well it went the last two times Nintendo released home consoles with distinctive gameplay affordances.

There were some on a Japanese Mario Kart stream that showcased the online lobby system, where Miis also featured on the Wii U.

The only other game I saw reports about the touch screen on was Skylanders, which only used it in character customization. But given that the Switch knows when it's docked and when it's not, it's plausible to me that it can tell games to enable/disable touch screen features as necessary.

This is not a "picky eater" thing, this is a "common sense" thing.

"SHOCKING: Probe reveals 40% of Picky Eating Adults are actually three children in a trenchcoat."

Do say more, please. I'm interested in how you're characterizing this.

Then why call the episode that? That's precisely my point.

Must've gotten cut in editing—this was already pushing 60 minutes, and I guess they decided that whatever it was was extraneous? No one from the show did any press (due to the holiday break), so we have no postmortems.

The idea that Fiona is "too good to forgive Monica" really demonstrates the gulf between our views of the character: Fiona has no reason to forgive Monica for abandoning her. Period.

The idea that "slut-loving" is a thing is absurd, but particularly in this case when I can't really imagine a scenario where Monica is so closely associated with that word that it could be reclaimed in a positive fashion. The idea of calling Monica a slut is frankly itself baseless for me, and thus its presence here…

Do you post on Deadline? Because this sure reads like an inside baseball Deadline comment to me.

I'm confounded by the notion that our disagreements in interpreting the series are somehow born out of my not paying enough attention—just because we read things differently doesn't mean that I'm paying any less attention than you are, and the idea that I am in some way failing to give the show its proper due is…

I think Hannah was right to not jump in and take credit for it, but the suggestion that Adam was responsible was absurd given that Hannah more or less told Adam to go to his room and not screw it up by talking to Ken himself. I think you're right it was Ken's decision—Hannah didn't make him do anything—but it was…

I think Hannah seemed to be going with a strategy—misguided or not—of focusing on what she did over trying to slag Adam's gameplay. Or, it's possible the edit is only showing us one genre of argument, to simplify things, and she actually did what you're saying and we just never saw it. It's hard to say for certain.
