Wild localization issues are not as common with Nintendo as they once were, and I’d argue that was something that Reggie Fils-Aime had a hand in, as well as him wanting the Big N to leverage social media to amplify their reach. Nintendo Treehouse was created specifically to improve localizations for English, Spanish,…

Sort of. The descent into Area Zero is less “scary” than going into the big crater in FFVII, but maybe ten times more unsettling. You go the whole game with a map, and then boom, nothing. Navigation, off. The lighting in there is weird, the draw distance is wonky, and there are some OP pokemon lurking at every corner.…

Polls at this point are just doomsdayism plus gobbledygook numbers. That said, these numbers do tell us that only retired Boomers are some of the only ones responding to these polls. Back to your usual news!

Just give it two screens, and make it backwards compatible with 3DS and DS games (even if we must re-buy them) and we have a solid gold deal.

Pun still very much appreciated, as it belittles Musk’s plaything of the moment.

I was also today years old when I realized I could tweet from my Switch, but that is a whole NOTHER thing. You’re probably right that they will follow Sony’s lead with this and just pass on the socials altogether, because if we have learned anything, it is that Nintendo is HAPPY with the DMCA banhammer. Can’t blame…

So wait, Nintendo is perfectly fine with letting you tweet from your Switch, and paying them for API access, but is NOT okay with just letting the servers that keep 3DS and Wii U services rock out a bit longer? BIG WOMP.

Ozymandias, indeed.

Sounds like someone is a digital cluttermonster!

ANYTHING to keep the DS and 3DS library playable, even if in some bananas virtual console or subscription breadcrumbing setup is better than just...sunsetting all those thousands of games so unceremoniously.

Bayyyyybeh. I am going to say this as gently as I can: Creole ancestry is Black ancestry. Please stop with the Raven Symone semantics and, “I am not African American” nonsense. You, yourself, defined mixed Black folks as Black, yet you want to puzzlingly dissociate and differentiate as Creole, as if kinfolk and…

Tacoma, WA would like a word!

Lived in New Orleans for a few years for undergrad. Katrina sank my university about 2 weeks into my freshman year (first sign I should have left!). The food there is amazingly good, there is a spiritual presence about the place that I have not felt elsewhere, but none of that is outweighed by the dark heart and…

Those Polestars are verrrrry svelte. Because of course they are. 

You are pretty much badass. You took control of the situation, made him pay for half, and got the hell out of there. That guy sounds like an asshat, so I am all the more glad he became someone else’s problem. 

The things that JT was allowed to get away with, were and continue to be mind numbing.

Whoa whoa, that sounded like a slight at Holy Mother Yennifuh, and I am not havin it. Just be happy for the women who even half-assedly survive their fame, much less these icons, because the list of those who do not is staggering. Britney, JLo, and Jennifer Anniston have single(triple)handedly held up messy tabloids,…

Your sense of humor is simply the best. Howeverthehell Square wants people to say Cait Sith now can just get bent. 

Silly gooses, “that scene” is actually going to be a quicktime event that decides the fate of you know who and the planet, and if you do not do things juuuuuuust right, well, you know how it goes ;-)

Eating the lunches of Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft does not necessarily entail gobbling up the companies wholesale, though that is an interesting thought experiment. The core of what I meant was that Applegooglezon, if left unchecked, could---given their immense resources---eventually become peers who might then…
