Nintendo set a very interesting precedence back in 2019 when they were still figuring out how to market indie games on Nintendo Switch.

Since Cadence of Hyrule, there has not been another indie title that's centered around a Nintendo IP.

I wonder if it is Nintendo or the devs who aren't interested

This article hits all of the marks.

Game Key Cards are overused, microSD Express is too damn expensive, and larger compressed games are still larger games.

Never thought I'd be using the Virtual Game Card feature, but travelling light means I can't bring my #NintendoSwitch2 around, so I'm packing my Switch 1.

I still don't own a carrying case or screen protector for my Switch 2.

I've noticed a lack of excitement for Age of Imprisonment, despite being the next #Zelda release.

Which of the following would be your main reason for skipping this game?

1. Burned out from BotW era

2. Hack 'n slash gameplay

3. Distrust from HWAoC plot

4. Don't have a Switch 2

#NintendoSwitch2

Let us continue to vote with our wallets and not become the vocal minority.

Do not buy Game Key Cards.
Do not buy games that don't offer upgrade paths.
Do not pay into Limit Run Games' scarcity marketing.

The highlight for me was Age of Imprisonment. I honestly couldn't give a damn about Ubisoft's crap.

Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom box arts side by side.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but let's play through these three games again!

In preparation for Age of Imprisonment, I'm gonna be playing BotW, AoC, and TotK on the Switch 2.

Am I too much of a diehard #Zelda fan? This wouldn't be the first set of games I've replayed to death.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment for Nintendo Switch 2 showcased on Nintendo Direct.

A new #Zelda Age of Imprisonment trailer has been released. Most of the trailer was pretty standard stuff, but the ENDING WAS CRAZY.

As an added bonus, Nintendo made sure to refer to this as a "canonical tale."

Epic Games has been quite lazy with the Switch 2. Both Fortnite and Fall Guys feel very rushed given the lack of a higher frame rate.

Fandom's solution, especially after cutting out a large number of their staff force, is to wait until someone tells them there is plagiarism for them to actually address it, rather than spotting it themselves.

Looking at how Google handles SEO, it's always too damn late when they handle it.

I didn't expect 64DS to have its own speedrun tactics.

The only challenge that it faces is PC game optimization being very wack.

Technically it did. The game offered buyable skins and texture packs.

The Steam Deck propped up at an angle in a dark area, with its screen illuminated and displaying the game library.

Seems like the rumours are popping up for a potential desktop/home console equivalent of the #SteamDeck.

Is it finally time for Linux PCs (besides Chromebooks) to hit the mainstream market? Because if done right, this could be one pre-built PC worth recommending to any entry-level gamer.

What I mean by "greylist" in this context is to be selective of their information.

However, a lot of the information they report or document is still very reliable, especially Serebii's game data and Digital Foundry's non-speculative hardware analysis videos.

Journalist/Creator "greylist" for Nintendo:

Joe Merrick/Serebii (Pokémon) - Reports about TPC's operations conflict with Kit & Krysta's own experiences

Digital Foundry (hardware) - Very good at analysis, but very bad at speculation

Polygon - Acquired by Valnet (ScreenRant, GameRant, etc.)

Threads is growing increasingly more toxic everyday ever since the policy change.

People love to hate in that platform almost as much as Twitter now. However, the form of toxicity is different, with Threads users being stubborn af and never wanting to give up the debate until they are the last.

The Trachtenberg trilogy is genuinely sizing up to become the first successful trilogy out of the Alien and Predator films.

Actually, all VShojo creators own their respective VTuber IPs, whereas Hololive owns the VTubers rather than the creators.

Holy shit, 2025 is really the year VTuber agencies are showing their true colours.

Hololive lost its biggest VTuber, and now VShojo loses its biggest VTuber.

Here I thought VShojo was the one to prove everyone wrong. VShojo really fucked up.

Combatting #NintendoSwitch2 misinformation is a double edged sword.

On one hand, it's a bad idea to feed into someone's rage-bait because you're just wasting your own energy.

Om the other hand, misinformation spreads like wildfire and you almost need to tackle it regardless.

I hope the next project is Paper Mario 64.

I am bothered by the fact that the game has already been fully decompiled, but no one has taken up interest in actually porting it to PC.

Visual instructions on changing the jump controls for Donkey Kong: Bananza, demonstrated with the Joy-Cons 2 and Donkey Kong jumping in the background. The instructions indicate that the setting can be accessed via Options.

This isn't really a big deal, but I've noticed a lot of people saying that this is a new change to Mario games, where A would normally be the jump button.

Using B as a jump button had existed all the way back in SM64DS as the jump button, and NSMB1 as a toggle between AX/BY and AB/XY.

Something tells me they'll do a Switch 2 Edition just because they spent the money porting the game over to like every single platform.

However, Microsoft has been incredibly slow with the Switch 2 launch.

I'm not sure if it's because they don't have dev kits or they're just actually slow.

The more I watch Russ Vandy review different #Minecraft versions, the more disappointed I am at Microsoft.

Why is it that consoles were forced into Bedrock Edition, but PC gets to keep Java Edition? What was wrong with 4J's Legacy Console Edition, a game that was properly OPTIMIZED for console?
