I cannot speak about the quality of the port (I played it on the DS), but Capcom ports Ace Attorney to every system they can.

Yes, they have a tendency to get (very) delayed on their big name projects, but they are more than making up for it in volume. They have ramped up to putting out like 6 new games per year. So far this year, they have announced Push Push Penguin (a children’s game) and Seeker Chronicles.

Hopefully by pausing printing, they can take the time to develop their games more before talking about manufacturing. And by doing more digital-first releases, they can get mass play testing of in-development expansions so they are less tempted to hold projects back for balance changes.

Is anyone (other than maybe Nintendo) setting up a wait list for buying systems as they restock? I would not mind getting at the back of that line.

There aren’t any release window games I want, but I may want one by the holidays or next year, once more games are released.

The article does not get into detail, but I assume Stonemaier Games is going to argue that the President does not have the power to impose this type of tariff. The company is probably hoping that the judge will stay the tariff until the case can be argued. If this only buys the company enough time to refill their US warehouse without paying a tariff, they could come out ahead.

You still get company swag? In the 2010’s, I got a ton of it, but not anymore. Maybe it is just that the company I was working at got too cheap to give out swag and when I switched jobs, I joined another cheapskate, but I assumed that it was the same everywhere.

I have enough company and recruiter swag collected during the good years that I have not needed to buy t-shirts, especially because I generally wear a collared shirt over them, so I don’t care what logos and slogans they have.

Note, that data is from April 8th, which is before the 90 day tariff pause was announced.

From what my friends working in retail have told me, the trend is (temporarily) reversed. Every freight container going to the US is getting booked solid at inflated rates as brands try to bring in merchandise from non-Chinese factories into the US in case the tariffs resume.

Wow. They have two very popular game series: Sentinels of the Multiverse and Spirit Island. Hopefully everyone who was at the company lands on their feet and the amazing games they put out can live on at another publisher.

Nintendo is not going to do extensive QA testing for every single Switch game (especially not every third party shovelware game which might have had errors running on a regular Switch). I assume they ran every automated test they had handy and had someone spend X hours poking around the game to try to find issues.

The more interesting question would be how will games be fixed? Are they patching the game to fix the issue or are they patching the Switch 2 firmware to match Switch behavior? The more bugs they fix with the later approach the less important it is to exhaustively test every single game.

As far as I know, all media age-appropriate ratings in the US are industry self regulation. The government has threatened action but never actually stepped in.

What confusion? If a box says “Switch” on it, it will run on the Switch and the Switch 2.

If the box says “Switch 2”, it will run on the Switch 2 but not the original Switch.

There are some games that are available for both systems, so make sure to check the system name when buying the game. It has been the same in previous console generations and in consoles from other manufacturers.

The only issues that I foresee are if the eShop makes it hard to understand what system you are buying the game for and if the eShop makes it hard to change the version I am buying.

With LeBron, I think it is a combination of a couple of things. Yes, he is an all-time great and a major superstar, so refs may be hesitant to argue with him on a questionable decision. But he is also ancient, in athlete years. He has been referreed by all the refs plenty of times and probably knows where each of their thresholds are and what behavior may trigger them. He also seems like a nice guy, so sometimes it is not “a player whining to them about a call he did not like” but it is “their buddy LeBron pointing out that they keep falling for a flop”.

Besides, James gets superstar calls. He has no right to whine about anything.

Those Biden dollar prices, though. Will other console makers stay at their current prices or will they raise prices as US stock starts to run out.

I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

In my home, Nintendo Land is an all time great game. To this day, whenever my nieces visit, they demand to play Nintendo Land.

The license carts are worse than physical cartridges but better than buying digital. At least you can give them to a friend or sell them (while the software server is still active).

The entire article has a tone of “it is exactly as we expected it to be”. Good to have a journalist say that Nintendo was not covering up some horrible, obvious flaw.

Black man brandishing a gun? He is a thug.

White man brandishing a gun (and giving out guns for his children to brandish)? Respected member of Congress.

Not defending Ja, since he should know better, but calling out a double standard.

There is a reason that most games are listed as “capable of starting, more testing required”. It should not be too hard to set up automation that loads a game on to the Switch 2, launches it, and checks that it did not crash within 30 seconds.

Nintendo US website. Mario Kart has an MSRP of $79.99. Donkey Kong has an MSRP of $69.99.

For me, it depends on how much the upgrade packs add. If you frame it as “We will be releasing select Switch titles as enhanced editions on the Switch 2. If you already have the Switch version, you can buy the enhanced edition at a discount by getting it as an Upgrade Pack.”

Doesn’t PlayStation have a similar program?
