Okay so here's the changes to SNES Nintendo Classics 5.0.0:
- Button Remapping, and they went back to detail the controls of every single game
- New CRT Filter (not sure if it's Switch 2 only?)
- SNES Mouse support for all games supported (yes, not just Mario Paint!), can use USB or Joy Con 2.

Wow, so the $80 physical version of Mario Kart World (no digital, no bundle) ranked 3rd across all platforms in June in the United States? That's insane, huge huge success.

The final (officially, this time) Donkey Kong Banaza packshot

the "switch 2 is cheaper in japan" is going to persist like when people said "it's possible to make games like the witcher 3 on a lower budget" because people don't know anything about currency, exchange rates, or even the most basic economy

I wouldn't necessarily think so. I think Sparks of Hope is programmed to be locked at 30fps. The Switch 2 would absolutely be able to run the game at 60fps but the game itself won't allow it because of the cap.

Unfortunately, it's capped at 30fps. It'll need an update to reach 60fps.

@digitalfoundry.bsky.social Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle goes from a locked 30fps on Switch 1 to a locked 60fps on Switch 2 WITHOUT a patch. The game must've been using double-buffered v-sync this entire time and so was locked to 30fps as it couldn't reach 60fps on Switch 1 but can on Switch 2!

@jon.gvg.io Idk if you've tried this yet but Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle goes from a locked 30fps on Switch 1 to a locked 60fps on Switch 2 WITHOUT a patch. The game must've been using double-buffered v-sync this entire time and so was locked to 30fps as it couldn't reach 60fps on Switch 1.

They know Sonic fans will eat anything up on Nintendo platforms.

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

Who will you go on an adventure with? Head out on a hilariously quirky quest with your favourite Mii characters in Miitopia for Nintendo Switch!

Unironically, "Miitopia".

Yeah they are making us wait a good while for the first 3DS game. However, I do think they'll put Miitopia under Switch as I think they'll include the music that came with the extra content in the Switch remaster.

All of the battle themes on Miitopia are absolute bangers, here's another one:

Yeah those are also great picks that I would gladly have on the service.

I think my most anticipated OST release for Nintendo Music is Miitopia. It's an enormous, quality soundtrack that has never been officially released before. I don't know how long it'll take but I'll be there for it.

That's cool! I think that now marks the second time a game has been transferred from NEX to NPLN with the other being Luigi's Mansion 2 HD as the original game on 3DS used NEX but 2 HD uses NPLN.

So I saw the version was 3.0.0. And I actually found that very odd because it shouldn't. Turns out I was right to find it suspicious: THEY CHANGED THE NETWORK CODE FROM NEX TO NPLN!
There's a huge amount of refactors in the code.

I will point out that the Lead Game Designer, Lead Battle Designer, Lead Event Designer etc. for Brothership were all from AlphaDream so these weird design changes were still essentially given the go-ahead by AlphaDream vets.

Haha yes, could get crazy but I'm here for it.

Posting about Nintendo news while also linking to the relevant thread on Famiboards would be good.
