Now that some time has passed since Game Key Cards have been on the market, has anyone noticed them being discounted more, less, or at about the same rate as typical physical games?
if it's at least the same, I'd say their existence is a net good. it means we get digital games at aftermarket prices

No Duskbloods in today's Nintendo Direct, but at least we still got a sign of life for it today, assuming it will release within a week of this.
The hunt is on.

every argument against this seem to come down to "but it didn't become the standard, so all the games not made for it are awkward to play!", yeah obviously. everyone learned to type with qwerty, that doesn't mean a more efficient keyboard layout shouldn't have become the standard
Anyone else hate the diamond shape button standard?
GameCube layout is more efficient! Diamond you only have two buttons accessible at a time, but GC your thumb is ALWAYS on the most used button, and can go to all others in one motion
Hate that the standard was based on looks and not function

the demo runs great, looks kinda rough in some spots but seems like a totally acceptable version of the game, but I highly recommend turning lens distortion and chromatic aberration OFF for a more crisp image quality, it just seems to make the whole picture fuzzy

the first company that simply applies translation patches to previously unlocalized old games and doesn't act like it's a big special deal we should pay premium remaster prices and kissing their toes for has full access to my wallet

Gotta say ending the direct on reheated Toddslop with a sprinkle of genocide is one hell of a choice, though.

I really enjoyed this video, a great overview on coding for these old consoles. Makes me want to release Pixel Pup for the Pokemon Mini.
It's important I release it on all of Nintendo's obscure consoles.

from what I can tell of the discourse I'm catching wind of today, it would seem the people who performatively refuse to learn how to cook and refuse to learn how to emulate games are having a learned helplessness-off.

Thirty second commercial. Opens up with children in the 90’s with their Gameboy. Then the next gen. And the next one. Until it has people on their switches and phones while the pokemon are real. This describes every pokemon ad in the past decade. Give me five million dollars

my unrealistic expectation is it's just 30 minutes listing off Switch 2 patches/upgrades for practically every notable Switch 1 game currently in my library
