This isn't particularly related to Nintendo anymore but the story keeps going on and I can't get enough of it.

Also, he apparently already removed the "not an apology" apology video, after it being up for like 12 hours.

I felt bad for the guy because I would probably be having some pretty dark thoughts if I were in his position. I definitely did not consider that he might just start blaming everyone else and denying what he did.

Oh well, it’s 2018 after all.

UnExplored for Switch is fun but I've already gotten a couple of hard crashes that I haven't been able to figure out, which is kind of awful for a roguelike where you have one shot to get through the game. Hopefully it gets patched soon.

Anytime you see a video by a "YouTuber" just pretend it was done by someone roughly 5 years younger and the video will always make more sense.

They're dumbing down Red/Blue in the Let's Go games to hilarious degrees. Latest is just them getting the chance to redo a dumb puzzle and instead of making it interesting they just got rid of it entirely.

(Originally in the gameboy version there were rows of trash cans. There was no real hint to which ones you needed to click and they shuffled if you got them wrong. You had to get 2 right in a row to fight the boss.
Instead of giving them a subtle visual tell or something like that the answer is to apparently paint them neon and get rid of it entirely.)

It's one of those things where if you're excited for the games that's honestly fine and cool and I hope you enjoy it, but I do genuinely wonder why they're dumbing it down this hard. I don't really buy the "it's for the kids" excuse when I had to do all this stuff as a kid when it first came out and I didn't have trouble.

So this is an unambiguously positive change

What’s the point of having the puzzle if it’s not a puzzle anymore, just an obvious thing to delay the game like 15 seconds


“Find two random bins” is at least satisfying when you do it

I don't think some of you get that randomly picking things and hoping you got it right is not a "puzzle", it's just stupid.

Coloring them is actually a step up from -10 to -9 on the :effort: scale

Press plus twice.

This also works for day/night changes and pretty much anything you might want to skip.

If you're jealous of that LABO Cardboard Nintendo Switch, There's now a contest to win two! Five runners-up (for, I presume, each category) each get a set of LABO JoyCons.

All you have to do is either submit your best-decorated ToyCon from the Variety Kit or Robot Kit, or show off your own (working and Garage-programmed) ToyCon invention.

Oh man, if only I lived in Australia.

drat the VC4 demo is pretty solid. You get to play the first 3 chapters and it gives you 2 skirmish maps to play with it. Honestly surprised to get a demo like this in 2018.

I'm finishing up Octopath and my hot take is that it's entirely OK as a game. I just wish it were better. Like imagine if you stole an item before you challenged someone and that had an actual impact on the fight? What if the pacing was less awful? What if the characters interacted more? What if the bosses had more than the same handful of tricks?

I bet a sequel would be really good!

It's mainly the characters not interacting being the worst thing. Not sure how that one made it through basic game design.
