So... We went from demanding Nintendo to add voice chat to the Switch and being angry at its exclusion, to saying we no longer want it?

It's been obvious from the outset that the reason they excluded it was due to system resource concerns. They added it because people wouldn't stop asking for it.

They titled it that way because it gets clicks. Suggesting that it was "shut down" gives a false impression that Nintendo filed a DMCA, which pisses people off and gets them talking. Nothing gets people clicking and talking like anger.

IP laws can really suck, but they exist for a reason.

Agreed. Don Mattrick was basically saying that people should stick to 360 if they don't like constantly being online and losing ownership of their games. That's a far different vibe from Nintendo saying they aren't dumping the Switch 1 support.

Oh no..... The Owl House, and Monster Hunter. It's Belos all over again.

How much you wanna bet that's going to be their ridiculous justification to a topic they know nothing about?

I just finished working on the newest entry to a certain ongoing series of Lockstin fakemon videos. If you've been subscribed to the channel for a while, you probably already know what series it is.

Hope y'all enjoy it whenever it releases!

There are countless studies that have been conducted over decades of research that have already proven that no, it is not the vaccines. There is no connection at all.

Autism is genetic. It is not something you can catch, you have to be born with it. Take that from someone who is autistic.

Really ask yourself, if Iggy's Reckin Balls came to the VC for $8, would you actually buy it over something like Earthbound? Be honest.

This is why NSO offers Nintendo an incentive to make these releases happen.

With the VC model, we'd almost never see games like this, as it would sell maybe 100 copies. Whereas Earthbound will sell millions.

The big hitters shouldn't be all we get, they should release the obscure titles and ensure they're easily accessible. NSO makes that easy and profitable.

Thing is there are undeniable benefits to the NSO model. Imo, the biggest being a higher incentive for obscure games to be released.

Nintendo no longer needs to worry if they sell, they make money regardless. Hence us seeing games like Iggy's Reckin Balls come to the service.

I have played my NSO games at friends and family houses just fine, with no connection to their wifi. And Nintendo advertises on their website that the games only require a 7 day check in, not a constant connection.

Granted you need to start the software to do the check in, so that might be why.

You can play them without an internet connection. They just require a check in every 7 days. Sure, it's not ideal, but it's a far cry from having to stay connected constantly. And it's extremely rare that a typical user will be completely without internet for over a week.

I doubt it'll ever happen. Like it or hate it, Switch Online is more profitable, and there's far more people using it.

Plus it does have benefits. We're seeing a lot more obscure titles release for NSO, likely because Nintendo no longer has to worry if it sells.

There wasn't really much that caught my attention at all tbh. Lies of P DLC was the only really exciting thing to me.

I want to be excited for Borderlands 4, but I'm cautious of the franchise after 3. So I'm going to wait and see with that one.

The same people have been defending the orange man for the past decade over similar things, so this unfortunately doesn't surprise me.

Oh no........

Finished version of the Zorua x Togekiss pokefusion! I love how the lil cutie turned out. I’m thinking maybe Torua or Zorukiss for the name. What do you think?

Me: "I don't need a new higher resolution monitor. The one I have may be old, but it's 1080p and looks fine. I fail to see why that purchase is necessary."

(Gets a 1440p 180hz monitor on sale and starts gaming and editing video on it)

Me: "...... Okay, I get it now."

Morshu Ring: Shadow of the Rubees

Rated Mmmmmmm for Richer!

If you tried to play FF7: Rebirth directly from a disc, you would have extremely excessive load times.

Imagine waiting 30-60 seconds for a single zone to load. I doubt anyone here wants to go back to that.

In order for physical media to truly make a return, it has to be in a form that keeps up with modern data read speeds.

Nintendo has the right idea via Switch carts, but those are also expensive to manufacture compared to discs.

As much as the convenience feels lost, the reading speed of discs is abhorrently slow compared to installing to an SSD. Disc speeds simply cannot keep up with the technical demand of modern games.

Sure, you can have discs to install from. But the disc is just a license authenticator at that point.

It's being developed by only three people who likely have jobs outside of making this game. Let them cook. It'll come out when it's good and ready. There are plenty of other games to play in the meantime.

It did. I was significantly less excited to see it because I knew it was coming. It would have been a far more fun surprise to wake up and see it in my timeline.

Honestly, I hope the leaks stop here, but they likely won't. Leak culture has become ridiculous. People just needed to wait.

Ah yes, the image that appeared on many ReviewtechUSA video thumbnails.

This shouldn't be surprising. They teased a new Shrek movie at the end of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish when they were on a ship approaching the land of Far Far Away while music from Shrek was playing. That was when I knew it was inevitable. lol

Well deserved!
