I'm a person that does stuff sometimes.
What the FUCK do you mean they replaced the search bar with Copilot?????? Those of you still clinging onto Windows 10, congratulations, you were right. Enjoy your extended planning time for migration to Linux.
Copilot on the taskbar is one of Microsoft's new Windows 11 features it announced today. It replaces the search box and gives you a launcher-like prompt window and access to Copilot Vision / Voice

I don't know where this started but I've heard a lot of people parrot some false claim that the Switch versions of Super Mario Galaxy are based on the Shield version.

They are totally unrelated versions with nearly zero similarities, created independently by two different teams.

Bank toad seems to have been removed from the Switch version of SMG2. He just tells you about amiibo now: twitter.com/Odme_/status...

SMG1+2 technical info:

The new Switch port of Super Mario Galaxy is based on the 3D All Stars version (although naturally, there are a significant number of changes).

Like SMG1, SMG2 uses Hagi for graphics/audio emulation, and the code itself was compiled natively for Switch.

This floor is the most noticeably-changed texture shown from SMG1+2 so far, and wow it looks like a cheap fanmade "HD" emulator texture pack...

Nice seams, by the way.

Mario Galaxy 1+2's HUD is... smaller. In like, an offputting sort of way that's hard to describe. Like, the proportions are wrong, or something.

Skyward Sword HD was the same way. And given it shares the exact same scope as SMG1+2, I'm inclined to believe Tantalus did this.

I would like to once again point out that we do not have the good instrumental trailer version of the Kirby and the Forgotten Land main theme, only the boring flute "bonus" version, even after the soundtrack has been released two times now www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiPc...

After 100%ing DK Bananza I've given it some time to simmer, thinking I might become jaded with the game like I did with Mario Odyssey... but, no. DK shows that EPD Tokyo has still got it. Odyssey was just a fluke. I hope Tears of the Kingdom was a fluke, too.

The Donkey Kong Bananza final boss gives you a glimpse at what the game's Switch 1 framerate would've been like.

why do streamers put chat behind their facecam/vtuber avatar/whatever so the most recent messages, the relevant ones you want to read at that moment, are obscured, please stop this practise

I won't be posting more about this, to respect the Rules™, but I jumped on it and actually got in this time.

Patapon 1+2 (underneath the Unity wrapper) seems to just be a PSP emulator. And it does the typical emulated re-release thing of replacing textures and whatnot at runtime.

All expected, since that's what the PS4 versions were.

Nintendo are you SERIOUS right now

i think we need to invent a new word for this level of dripfeeding

Unlike MK, DKB actually deserved the Direct, lol. Made me go from "i dunno" to "yeah i'll buy it".

Cautiously optimistic, though (I don't wanna get hyped by the trailers and then hate the game a la TotK, and it's clearly the Odyssey team which isn't my favourite game...)

(🧵) I didn't want to say anything until I'd tried it, but now I have. So:

Mario Kart World is Nintendo's ONLY LAUNCH TITLE??? And it's $80????? Do they think amount of development time is directly proportional with value to the player? Because it's not.
June 15, 2025 at 11:52 AM
sorry i have to say it or i'll feel left out, feel free to skip this post

deltarune tomorrow

TotK's soundtrack is now on Nintendo Music. It seems to be identical to the Japanese CD release (minus the bonus USB with very high quality and surround sound versions of certain tracks).

Which I would've considered a given, but Splatoon from last week was different from Splatune, so, shrug.
June 3, 2025 at 1:58 AM
So uh, remember that time Paper Mario TTYD released for Switch and it just straight up supported 4K?

yeah. Is that just gonna work out of the box on Switch 2?

It is so amazing to me everybody's hating on the Switch 2's pricing and the one singular defense has been "Yes the prices suck but the tariffs you see" and then Doug Bowser comes in to say "No no no, you misunderstand, the tariffs had nothing to do with it, we *are* greedy"

shoutouts to japanese wikipedia editors for being afraid of copyright infringement so on the super mario galaxy page instead of real screenshots someone drew a mockup of what the game looks like

I'm honestly really glad GameChat on Switch 2 is, uh, "bad". Like, yeah, the screensharing is 2 fps, but I'd rather that than the feature hogging resources from the game.
