Make sure to mention that Nintendo products are like NFTs. People scalp the heck out of the limited stock they decide to put out to the point where most Nintendo products are worth more than RSP and since Nintendo never marks down the prices of any first party or exclusive games, they stay full price until they're collector's items worth hundreds.

...is there really a huge scalper after-market for NFTs? the things you can right-click, save-as and possess them even if you don't "own" them?

Nintendo is bad at supply and or demand, around this time last year I had to have bots set up to buy a Switch for my friend because other bots were buying the stock out the second it was available.

Then Amiibos and Animal Crossing Switches too, yeah. They'll ship 100 to a city where thousands want a product.

right but what about their NFTs

I also just saw this https://twitter.com/SouperJ64/status/1452839651387973639 and was really confused how something that bad could get released. I guess it makes more sense that somehow playing single player games online is causing this vs it was just released this badly.

yeah this seems to be... someone streaming somebody else's game over a lovely connection?

You know what's interesting? The video they put out explaining that metroid prime 4 was not coming along well and they decided to scrap everything and start over...has a lot more likes than dislikes. I'm surprised it wasn't met with a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth but it seems like gamers took the news pretty well

Metroid fans above all others know that it's better to wait for a good game than get a bad one today. Learned the bad side of that with Other M (though idk how much of that awfulness was from rush), and just had the good side of it confirmed with Dread.

I cannot believe people play handheld mode with joycons for any appreciable amount of time. It's so uncomfortable.

i can never figure out how to properly support the console and end up doing it with my pinky fingers, which gets pretty uncomfortable after a while. but on the upside my pinky fingers are now swole and jacked.

I refuse to believe NFTs are going to take off. It's the most obvious scam in the world.

They also provide zero benefit to game makers that they don't already get from the games-as-a-service model, it's just got the veneer of "distributed." Which isn't necessarily a good thing, it's just not a "new" thing.

Do you want a challenging RPG whose emphasis is more on battle strategy and party planning rather than grinding and which can and will kick your rear end and force you to come back better prepared? Do you enjoy exploring complicated overworld maps, platforming for treasures and collectibles, and avoiding or fighting enemies on the field? And how do you feel about the prospect of murdering gods and demons and mythical figures from every major world culture and religion?

If you have positive responses to these questions then get SMTV, it's a great place to start with the series.

As someone who has never played SMT or Persona: this sounds loving dope

I loved BIY because every single level was essentially a window into an entirely different puzzle game, it was just constantly mind-blowing, which I found super super satisfying. Yeah, I'd get to a point where it had melted my brain into slag and I couldn't make any more progress, but then I'd come back in a week and start chipping away again.

BIY probably holds the clear title for "best game I never finished."

Ganon was a cloud of red smoke possessing killer robots. Zelda is the one pursuing the excavation and repair of said robots. She doesn't feel any connection to the triforce of wisdom or courage, And this lack of connection drives her study. You don't actually kill any of the onerous robot bosses, you just get them to switch sides. The final boss is ike a lab experiment gone wrong.

Ganon never manifests as a person, he is just a "calamity." Caused by what?

If you really must know, I never got around to using Bloodstone specced weapons. I was a dynamo with the fists. All the fists.

I still have a few weapons I want to upgrade plus a bunch of aesthetics, but I finished the prophecies and the mirror... I'll come back to it for sure. Just not now.

Don't worry, the fists are far and away the most fun weapon to use, so you're not missing much.

I got my Joycons fixed after they'd been drifting and having connection issues for like a year.

First of all, anybody dragging their feet on setting up a repair because being on the phone is a pain the rear end? You can set up a repair order on the website. There's a dedicated button for Joycon repairs. They don't even ask any questions. Just "Yeah Yeah, here's a shipping label. Send us your Joycons."

When I got mine back (they look new, but I can't tell), the right Joycon was DOA. System wasn't recognizing that it was connected, lights wouldn't come on when I pushed buttons after detaching it, nada. So once again I turned to the support page. Anybody needing some help from old Ninty, do try their live chat function! I don't know if it's new... but this was the first time I tried it. Worked great. Got in touch with a customer service rep within 5 minutes, he asked me some basic questions, took me through some troubleshooting steps, and I got my right Joycon working again!

Friends don't let friends put up with Joycon drift. Get your poo poo fixed! Namaste.

drat, this WAS easy. They'll let you send up to four at a time! Nice!
