The Nintendo Switch

I've known in my heart for twenty years that Nintendo is the best, I'm glad they're having their apotheosis.

they're having a hell of a year after the doldrums of the Wii u era

lmao the sound effects, perfect

a new era of videogames has arrived

it's becoming ever-clearer to me that super mario odyssey will be the most powerfully erotic mario game in history

mario is a millennial confirmed

mario is thicc and bi

Otm Nintendo is extremely horny now

this holiday season, your kid is going to make mario's ass bounce up and down on a frog tongue, in perpetuity, and there's nothing you can do to stop it

and there it is

dying.

I've been following this Switch stuff very casually, but boy does it make me want to shell out and buy a new Nintendo system for the first time in a long time.

dude Zelda alone!!!

shd not leave zelda alone thats how she keeps getting captured

A little scared that the games, let alone the system, cost so much. But if I focus on just two or three games that should last me a while. Mario kart, Zelda, Mario...

interesting how major titles have cost $60 since the 90s despite 2 decades of inflation and like a tenfold increase in content/playtime

yeah, I have no idea, I'm old. I haven't really bought games since the original Nintendo.

Earthbound on SNES released at $80 apparently which was one of the reasons why it bombed stateside. I learned this recently

so many ways to get from frog face A to frog face B

polymariophous perversity

mario developers brought in Shigeru Miyamoto to test out their open world and he simply sat on frogs' faces for hours

lol

yeah i remember even SNES-era games - like all the Square games and the Street Fighter titles easily going around ~$80 at release, which would be way more now.
but it probably cost a lot money per-unit to manufacture cartridges vs. blu-rays. the Switch has a bit of an excuse with using cartridges again

i was at a panel last weekend hosted by the lost levels guy where he talked about earthbound bombing. a lot of it was down to people thinking the graphics were bad. (remember "dragon's lair" cost 50 cents a play and it wasn't for the incredible gameplay)

and yeah the price point of games being fixed at $60 in perpetuity has led to a lot of... creative workarounds. day 1 dlc and loot crates and so forth.

the marketing was also completely inept. one full-page ad showed no gameplay and said "This game stinks".

i remember the days of $60 SNES games well. nowadays those games would be $100. and yeah i recall more rare things like FF6 went for $80, that is $130 in 2017 dollars! it is funny how much of video game culture is fuming at the mouth about microtransactions and loot crates and evil companies. imo we are in a golden age of value

yeah the related bigger reason for earthbound bombing was it took them a year to localise it so it came out after FF6 and around the same time as Chrono trigger rather than preceding them

to be real, Earthbound did, graphically, look like complete garbage compared to FF4, FF6, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, et al. that's difficult - the sound and music, while quirky and charming, were not inviting. the dragon quest-style difficulty and battling were quickly going out of style even by then. marketing was bad, but let's not pretend the game isn't pretty alien-ating

Earthbound clearly bombed because people were turned off that there was a character named Poo

I mean

That's fucking disgusting

In Nintendo-News but not Switch-related, I successfully hacked my SNES Mini a few days ago and uploaded.. everything

I played one level of Space Megaforce and my boyfriend flipped the fuck out and said "I'm never leaving the house again"

How did you hack it?

A program called Hakchi, which I ran using a virtual version of Windows on my Mac, it took an evening to figure it out but I got it working

two minutes into the new mario and a frog in a top hat is already tonguepunching mario's fartbox

best game ever obv

did not expect to be sitting on frog faces so soon. this game is awesome and makes motion controls fun. hats are cool. moons are cool. only disappointed that I could not control mario-frog's tongue.

having fun so far, it feels less like mario 64 than people were saying though and more like sunshine/galaxy with bigger levels and more hidden stuff.

it's been 32 years since super mario bros released on the NES, and still nothing has changed. still the same run-jump-save the princess fairy tale kiddie formula rehashed over and over again for the 600th time. and not only that, but this game is 900p in 2017, in the middle of the 4K age! absolutely unacceptable. it's time for nintendo to give it up and die.

"released on the NES". "over and over again". "it's time for nintendo to give it up". nintendo horniness is spreading.

this guy had to save up 900 pblocks in 2017, that's a lot of work
