I just got a call from the GameStop I preordered from reminding me about their midnight release event happening on Wednesday. I might trade in my old Xbox One X to help pay off the rest of the Switch 2 preorder seeing as how it’s been gathering dust these past few years. I’m also planning on trading in a spare DualSense controller and a couple of Super Mario Bros. Game & Watches to cover the last-minute accessories I plan on picking up.

Oh, and if you had your Switch 2 preorder with Walmart canceled you should check your emails. Walmart admitted that some of those preorders we’re canceled due to a system error and they’re giving affected orders a 24-hour reorder window.

I would genuinely get more enjoyment out of the NES selection alone than I would out of every single ps5 exclusive combined, and yes, including former temporary exclusives like final fantasy and returnal.

You've had nearly 30 years to enjoy NES games for free as opposed to paying an online cuck tax to Nintendo for them.

I think Nintendo kind of fucked up by not sending out previews. Not seeing anyone talk about this console and its days away. If there were previews to journos and big Youtubers, at least your feed would be filled with I GOT TO TRY NINTENDO SWITCH 2 and NINTENDO SWITCH 2 UNBOXING. There aren't even reviews for Mario Kart World (though seems like they JUST did some more previews but seems like that should have been a week ago). Nintendo was so obsessed at one point with people confusing the Wii U with an accessory but now they are going to have a ton of people who wont even know the thing came out. Doesn't help Nintendo puts a shit ton behind Nintendo Today rather than putting it all over YouTube and Xitter.

Feels like the only people talking about this are die hard tendies. I think Nintendo forgot you have to hype up your console launch.

Yeah but, thing is, you don't. They sold through the initial shipment as soon as it went up for pre-order and Mario Kart sells itself. Why waste time advertising it now when the product isn't even going to be on store shelves for another few months.

DONT ADVERTISE YOUR PRODUCT! YOU ONLY NEED PRESALES!! YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO ANTICIPATE YOUR PRODUCT!! YOU SHOULD STOP TRYING TO SELL YOUR SYSTEM IF STOCK TEMPORARILY RUNS OUT!!!
 
I'm a dumbass and thought they'd actually update F-Zero GX's multiplayer to modern standards with 30 people to a track, since you'd be paying a subscription for the privilege in the first place. But nah it's just GC 4-player multiplayer. Fuck you bingtendo

Nvidia is kinda being scummy pieces of shit though. If you venture into the GPU/CPU world, they are detaching themselves from gaming and just dumping literally EVERYTHING into the AI fad.

That, and apparently they are being dicks about the kind of press they get. Steve from GamersNexus has been covering it but long story short, even the people that used to work for Nvidia are saying everything Nividia is doing is bad.

I mean, yeah, that was a dumb thing to think. They're ROMs, what did you think you were getting?

I mean, I actually can paint a worrying picture for them with the high prices, potential of DK being a big bomb that took 3D Mario's dev resources away, potential online suckery, potential inability to release games in a timely manner, potential bad global economic times, etc, etc. Its just that "they didn't give early live demos to streamfags" isn't on my canvas.

Interestingly, it seems that people are dubbing over the unboxing video in what I assume is a ploy to get around YouTube's content ID system. The original video of the unboxing was done by a needful saar who had his bird chirping endlessly in the background, so I've done of liberty of posting a dubbed version

I don't know about that stand. I think a lot of kids will end up breaking it. Maybe it's sturdier than it appears.

I expected nothing, and am still disappointed... but seriously, I at least expected a scaled back F-Zero 99 scenario where you could play GX online... but Nintendo just keeps providing me reasons to stay away. They really are just gonna play it safe for the foreseeable future, the bare minimum. Oh well, I'm sure Dolphin with netplay will figure out how to do it sooner or later. Imagine paying for two online subscriptions, one for your home, and another for Nintendo's "service" - to get access to a very restricted Gamecube library.
