Not happening, at least not anytime soon
The whole “leak” was a severe misunderstanding with the real Engage leak + what the other poster said they gonna fuck it up
That being said there’s hope: if there was any truth to that talk about Japanese companies localizing their games in the future using home made AI to cut cost and as a “fuck you” to the filthy localizer gajins.

An interesting piece of data: despite a strong launch, Switch 2 is going to fall behind the Switch 1 in the US soon:

After the price increase, the Switch 2 will likely remain behind Switch 1 for the rest of its lifespan.

Feels like an Xbox one/PS4 situation where you know people who still play modern game releases on their older systems instead of buying the new ones.

"We're very sorry for the price increase. We're still doing it, though." Just straight up "eh, yeah, go fuck yourselves" right to Nintendo customers' faces.

I do respect the hustle, not gonna lie.

Glad I got my Switch 2 when it was only expensive instead of really expensive.

The bomb threats will continue until Nintendo improves

It's been a good while since I've put so much time into a game.

I can definitely see how it is basically built on the Animal Crossing engine as so much of the game mechanics are there in some form or another, and even how your character reacts to things is the same - except everything is much more intricate.

And you can definitely tell the difference between the hand created world and the random generation of Minecraft: each biome is its own self contained region that's big but still manageable, and there's all these sort of hidden things where you see something odd like a missing grate in a water tunnel and go explore and find a tiny twisty tunnel just big enough to walk through which leads to a hidden pocket under the road. There's so much to do and I've barely scraped the surface of it, but it's overlayed in a way that you don't get overwhelmed having to learn everything at once.
