Nintendo-owned titles excluded from Japan’s biggest speedrunning event after organizers were told they had to apply for permission for each game

I mean... The Switch hardware was obsolete before it even came out.Why? If it does the job, why is an upgrade required? There are tons of games to be played on it, and as long as it keeps working, there's no reason one can't still have fun with it.

This thread: "Nintendo so stupid. Everyone hates them! They're gonna go bankrupt cuz no ones going to buy their games because of their bad business practices!" Reality: The Switch 2 has one of the strongest console launches, despite increased prices. Their games continue to hold more value than others, with used games selling for near, or even above, their original sale price. Their consoles and games remain the #1 pick for families with kids. You people are delusional. Yes, Nintendo's practices are scummy. No, this does not affect their numbers in any way. They are still wildly successful, and even if they weren't, they have such a huge reserve of capital that they could operate in the red for 20 years and still be fine.Interesting take. Don't complain about Nintendo because they make money?

You heard it here first, folks: other people disagree with you,so ***you aren't allowed to complain***. Suck it up and buy it as society demands.I think the point was that there are many people here are „predicting” that Nintendo is somehow going to go bankrupt because of this. People can no longer discern between wishful thinking and the reality, it shows in many areas of life to tbh. No, you won’t wish something into existence just because it’s „right”.

I mean... The Switch hardware was obsolete before it even came out.It does what I want it to, and works fine for the games I play on it. I also have a steam deck, as well as a gaming machine of Theseus, and a PS4, amongst numerous other systems for various purposes and uses. I honestly think I’m going to just straight up skip the S2.

The Wii U sold 13.5 million units and was a flop. I would expect the Switch 2 to sell more than that to the die-hard fans alone since there are a lot more people playing games nowadays. But the die-hard fans aren't what make their consoles "wildly" successful. I guarantee you those families with kids aren't going to be buying as many $450 consoles with $70+ games. Maybe they will be wildly successful. But we'll have to be a year or so out before we can know how likely that will be. Will they make money? Oh, that's a given. As much as they made with the Switch? I doubt it, but we'll see.

"Anyone I don't like must vote Republican" Hey shit eater, you don't know me. You're making assumptions based on absolutely nothing other than me not following the Lemmy hivemind. You need to have clear, firm evidence before you can make a claim. For example, you're a mouth breathing idiot. My evidence is based on your previous comment. What exactly do you bring to the table?

Oh my God, I'm so sorry that I have a realistic view of the world rather than pretending the opinions on here are in ANY way reflective of the general public attitude. Please forgive me for thinking critically and not just immediately guzzling that sweet, creamy, copium jizz.

I think Astro Bot is already better than any 3D Mario. We're missing a really good kart racer though. CTR wasn't it (and certainly not after they stuffed a load of DLC into it weeks after release), and the last one I really enjoyed was Speed Freaks on the PS1...

[This](https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19404963) is where I tagged you and you’ve proven me right multiple times since then.So your evidence is me telling a person having a mental crash out and making a childish rant due to overexposure to the internet to get off is your "proof" that I voted Republican? Weak shit. My man, I'm as queer as the day is long and have voted blue for longer than the first time your mommy congratulated you for not shitting your pants at the age of 12. But please, keep acting like a pathetic gatekeeper. It's not like you have anything else going for you in life.

Going back and looking through their posts for more pages that I really wanted to, I don't think they're particularly right-leaning; they seem to flip regularly between well-thought-out posts and comments to open trolling shouting insults. I'm going to just block them, there's really nothing of serious interest to lose there.
