Super Mario 64
I was 4 years old and it was back in 2000, I remember my dad figuring out how to hook it up to our TV, change the inputs, turn the damn thing on and starting the game, and then handing me the controller.
Of course, I was four years old at the time so I think I mostly just ran...
Sorry for posting too many status updates, but my grandpa is going back to the ICU. He's really sick. I'll try and visit him tomorrow. I've been preparing myself for what's going to happen sooner rather than later.
They say my grandpa should be coming home tomorrow but I think it's a temporary thing because I think he still needs surgery but I guess it won't be for a little bit so they're gonna let him come home until then.
There is literally no way that the Switch 2 costs $200 at launch, unless Nintendo wants to take a loss on the console and Nintendo historically is the only big three console manufacturer to not sell their consoles for a loss (the only exceptions to this are the 3DS, after they cut the price from...
Literally every single leak from credible leakers are that this is a whole new console, one that will be backwards compatible and a continuation of the concept of the Switch, yes (because no shit, Nintendo is going to continue on this path that's given them the third-best selling console of all...
Update on my grandpa's condition: he's stable and they just called me to ask for my consent to sedate him because they're going to perform an upper endoscopy (putting a camera down his mouth to see if they can locate where the bleeding is, if anywhere)
So anyways I'm the only one on these boards who pays attentions to the leaks and rumors about the Switch 2?
I'm not saying I 100% trust these leaks to 100% be accurate and happen because plans can and do change, but when you get leaks corroborated by multiple sources, all of whom have a pretty...
I've seen some reports that this person has mistranslated stuff in the past and a more accurate translation would be 'Switch successor is the appropriate way to describe it' and not 'Switch next model'.
Calling it literally anything other than the Switch 2 would be utterly stupid and just lead to the same market confusion that the Wii U faced.
So naturally, knowing Nintendo, they will do something stupid and call it the Super Switch or some other dumb shit that makes people think it's just...

Reviving this thread after over two years to drop a new opinion:
I find the whole thing where people try to justify pirating Nintendo games or argue that it's 'always morally OK to pirate them' to be incredibly tiresome because no one cares.
Like literally nobody gives a shit if you pirate...
DO NOT CLEAN CARTRIDGES WITH WATER.
Use isopropyl alcohol, preferably 90% or greater (the percentage is how much is alcohol vs how much is water) because it evaporates quickest, dip a q-tip in the alcohol, squeeze out the excess from the q-tip (you don't want too much), and clean the contacts...
I would absolutely not be surprised if the fact that the SNES version wasn't released on cartridge in Japan has something to do with it. Like IDK 'not wanting Japanese players to be mad because North America and Europe get the SNES version of this game and Japan gets the NES version' just feels...

the answer to the question of 'is the switch an 8th generation console or a 9th generation console?' is 'whichever option makes you mad and causes the most arguments'
