Hey, Brian, will you run Kotaku alongside with Luke the next days as Kotaku American will be in shock? You two could help people fill out emigration forms. I heard Japan is beautiful this time of the American Election Cycle.

I wasn’t talking about the US, I’m from Europe. I’m not sure, but even if they’re not laws, you can gets legally punished for mishandling sensitive information (basically under a different law citing regulations).

What protocols are they using? How is data stored? Even if they use one-time keys, they must not be stored.

I expect Apple to consider security a lot more than Nintendo who still haven’t fully figured out how today’s internet works.

This is neat for the tech geek in my, but very concerning to the security guy in me.

Nintendo would never do that. Don’t get silly.

widely reported on Reddit (and emailed quite a bit to Kotaku’s tips line today)

Of course those things as seamless as they can be, that you even have to ask. Do you think Nintendo has some patent to little hassle designs? Plug and play stuff for TVs are anything but new. That Google dongle, Steam Box’s, Nvidia Shield. How do you not know of all those things? Or what do you think the Switch will…

At this point I’d recommend you wait with your New 3DS. If the Switch really is to combine their mobile and console division, the New 3DS will be legacy hardware. It’s just barely half a year till it hits, and I’m guessing the price will be about 300€, so waiting for it may pay off.

Forgot about that one, there are so many. :p

... You’re living under a rock or something? Nvida had tablet to TV, or PC to TV streaming for ages!

Game, sure.

No, not at all. As I’ve shown above, this has all been done before, even for games. The only difference now is that it’s done by a player like Nintendo. THIS IS NOT INNOVATION, goddammit.

I didn’t see any praise coming from Kotaku, but maybe I just missed it. No, I’m actually sure if Kotaku would have panned it, people would be flaming Kotaku, not hate Nintendo. There are more hardcore Nintendo fans than there are Kotaku fans.

I never used the Linx, and don’t plan to. I just pulled it out of wherever it’s stuck to show it’s been done before. The Switch might be the least innovative thing Nintendo has done in recent history ... Wow, I almost sold that device to myself with the last sentence! O.O

Well, but there are probably more Zelda emulators on it, then there are Zelda games on any other, single Nintendo Platform. Just saying.

Yeah, because I’m sooo defending Nintendo/any other company right now. I’m suuuuuch a fanboy of [Random Company involved in this discussion]

That’s quite a fair point, and I have little to oppose it.

I don’t have to look at it, I fucking wrote it.

You said that nobody cares about my opinion, the fact that you needed to state this shows that you do care about my opinion.
