You can hear... feel... and even think, with intuitive joy-con mouse controls, when the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn game launches on the Nintendo Switch 2 system... later this year.

This 1943 U.S. Army film warned about fascism in America

Monarch Butterfly is an obvious one

The numbers in here are hilarious.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Clearly this is why Rivals of Aether 1 is still on top of the platfighter market, no one else has ever thought to add a Tetherball mode

Who in the hell pays that much for clothes? That outfit is maybe, *maybe* $100 plus shoes.

Get ready to go 3D. SUPER 3D.

Playing #Outside. Most recent patch sucks though

Rip my launch day #WiiU

This is why I am so proud to be a Democrat. We are NOT the same as Republicans. We are just fundamentally different people and the corporate media is WORTHLESS. Well done Rep. Joe Neguse!

I cannot suggest a more awesome platform fighting game series than Rivals of Aether (both 1 & 2!!)

IT'S THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF RIVALS OF AETHER II 🎂

It's been a year of hype combos, sweet monthly events, and cursed memes. What's your favorite Rivals 2 moment been??

As someone that's owned real estate since 2011, AI had nothing to do with it. Real estate is its own bubble and has been for a very long time.

I was born in 1982.

It's far worse than you think.

Witch #Absa is freaking adorable.

OG Rivals of Aether will always be special to me.

Taking a break from competitive #RivalsOfAether2 for a bit. Will still play ranked but in person is on hold.

I am looking forward to learning #Absa

#RivalsOfAether

They always start with “surgical strikes.” Then suddenly it’s about “the freedom of the Iranian people.” We’ve heard this script before.

Tried twice to beat #SuperMarioBros2, a game I thoroughly mastered as an 80s kid.

I can't even reach world 7 without getting a game over anymore 😭

Getting old sucks

Also I use R for jump in Ultimate and Rivals, and it's so much nicer than using face buttons for jump.

Maybe. Then again Capcom has said that SF6 is tournament legal on the Switch 2, and that has a ton of input delay.

That said I think the ship has sailed as far as controller legality goes.

When (not if) Melee gets put on Switch 2 via the Switch 2 Online, it will make it a moot point.

Screenshot of my Rivals of Aether II ELO showing 1106, which puts me in Platinum rank. 5-Win Streak as well.

Platinum Rank baby. Took me long enough.

The Return of Shovel Knights relics

Dust knuckles acts differently from Rivals 1 but it's more faithful to how they act in TT! I think it works well for a platform fighter

also Tow Anchor is an early wip, missing polish on the hitboxes and still missing the landing hitboxes

Speaking of #Nintendo consoles, my OG Black #GameCube from original launch window has passed on. 🫡

Fun fact - every character in Rivals 2 now has a skeleton inside of them. Thanks, Absa!

The #Switch2 is the first Nintendo console in my 42 years on Earth I'm not in a hurry to buy. Not even for my kids.

More #Switch2 thoughts:

Games that are more than $60 for the base game are an automatic "No Go" for me, especially in this economy. Plenty of sub-$60 games out there

The accessories are too expensive. I'm for sure not buying the camera.
