As long as Nintendo continues to support a physical format, I’m going to buy a Switch 2 and games for it. You’re free to make a personal decision about whether to support a company or not; everyone has to make their own purchasing decisions based on their values and priorities. I don’t support many companies that you probably do support, some that you may not even give a second thought to. Palworld, for me, doesn’t rank.
Not to be confused with She Sees Red, which is also available for Switch (and worthwhile, if you like FMV games).
It’s after Tri-Force Heroes and before the decline of Hyrule Kingdom and The Legend of Zelda, on the “hero fails” branch from Ocarina of Time.

It links to Eurogamer. Good lord is their site pure cancer without an ad blocker. Here’s the seven-sentence article without the dozen ads:
After 31st March 2026, the digital store will no longer sell games, plus free trials will no longer be available. Then, from 15th May 2026, Nintendo will stop all download and code redemption services, meaning DLC will no longer be redeemable.
All other network-related services will also end on 15th May 2026.
Nintendo has not stated why it’s ending these services in the country.
However, it is launching a reward programme providing users with up to four Nintendo games for free for WeChat users. These will be redeemable between 27th November 2024 to 31st March 2026.
Users can choose between:
Fire Emblem for Famicom (the North American release for Switch). I like the series, but this is the first time playing the original. It’s surprising how little the core gameplay loop has evolved in that time, but it started off great.
Grand Theft Auto for DOS. I went in with the idea of finishing the original game, but I’m not sure how long I’ll keep it up. It really hasn’t aged well. When I played it back in the day I just screwed around for half an hour at a time, which I think is probably what most people did.
Your character and every vehicle control like tanks, the camera zoom is bad, the cars are nearly impossible to control at high speeds (never mind the motorcycles), it’s incredibly difficult to accurately aim, there are no characters to speak of, the timers are out of control, the directions are all “as the crow flies,” and (perhaps as a result) the cities are often frustrating to navigate.
This is it. Democrats will continue to talk about how they failed at execution so they don’t have to talk about the real problem: their platform. At least with Trump some folks think there’s a chance he shakes apart the whole system.
I voted for Harris, but I knew it was a lost cause from the moment she became the de facto nominee. She was a status quo candidate in a change election.
It’s the most evenly divided district in Oregon in partisan terms and she ran on a “bipartisan” theme. She’d be pretty hard-pressed to make her case.
The Republicans were absolutely inundating the district with the most vile stuff, like how she “voted in favor of rapists.” They dramatically outspent her campaign.
I’m really happy she won.
Are you me? Honestly, just finish it. You’ll forget all about the collectibles a week later. And if you don’t, you can always go back (you won’t).
Gonna try to finish my first-time play through of The Last of Us (PS5) today or tomorrow so I can start on Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Xbox). Excited to jump in after the decade since Inquisition.
That “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting and maybe Poland doesn’t want to yolo World War 3.
To make this a black and white issue is kinda weird when the severity of being wrong is so high. Just because Poland is being a considerate partner to other NATO member states doesn’t mean it’s required to act that way.
Well, they had a single case of attempted voter fraud, so now I guess it’s only fair we award Trump the presidency here and now. I believe those are the rules.
Because if Russia retaliates it means all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Kind of a big deal that you maybe don’t want to just decide on your own.
This is basically the last important game from Wii U not to make it to Switch, right?
Online gaming is a cesspit that everyone should either avoid or play with everyone perma-muted
Physical only for all systems, unless it’s a short indie game, in which case I’ll wait for a digital sale.
If Xbox and PlayStation ever try to force digital-only, I’ll probably wind down my game buying. I’ll definitely stop buying new games at full price and just wait for steep discounts for the digital versions. Meanwhile I’ll play through my unplayed physical games.
They built their own internal emulator
This is what Nintendo hardware engineers do to fill time when the Switch 2 is just a scaled-up Switch 1
It’s not about being friendly. It’s about not saying the exact same comments in every single Nintendo thread. It’s repetitive and boring.
I get it. As someone who also grew up with a controlling father, can I kindly suggest talking to a therapist (that is, if you haven’t already)? Even if it’s a financial stretch, it’s worthwhile. Parents like that cast a large shadow and it’s easy to fall into unhelpful rhythms with yourself and others in your life.
