I sure hope Nintendo is going to replace this and Gold Points with something else...
the optics of this aren't great, especially since it's right off the heels of the Switch 2 game pricing fiasco

interesting, Chris Meledandri (Illumination CEO) only got 75% approval from shareholders for re-election to Nintendo's board of directors
all the other directors were elected with 90%+ approval (and last year, Meledandri also received 94% approval)
wonder what changed?

very happy with the Switch 2 so far, it's basically everything I wanted from a next-gen Switch
can't wait to see the upcoming first party and third party games
also hoping for more upgrades/upgrades for Switch 1 titles, because some really need it

tomorrow is the Splatoon series' 10th anniversary, so I wonder if they're planning something special

There was no update at the usual time. However, today is NOT a public holiday in Japan.
(US public holidays have not stopped Nintendo from updating the app in the past. For example, they added Wii Sports on Veterans Day last year.)

I highly suspect that the reason GC emulation is Switch 2 exclusive is that the hardware allows their emulator (Hagi) to directly run ROMs without prior work
Super Mario Sunshine and Pikmin 1+2 required substantial work for each game on the CPU side before they could run

the Switch 2 reveal was kinda anti-climactic imo lol
but I think that's just because the hardware is about what I expect from a 2nd gen device, and there was only one game announced
I'm significantly more interested in the software, so can't wait for the Switch 2 Direct in Apr

finished Metroid: Zero Mission!
the first 90% was excellent, just classic 2D Metroid gameplay
then the stealth section started! felt novel at first, but I was not a fan after like 2 minutes
also, the final boss was way too easy... I killed it in ~5 hits with Super Missiles

I think Nintendo is aiming to release one "big" soundtrack on Nintendo Music at the start of each month, and then fill the rest of the month out with "small" ones?
we got SMBW (Nov) and Splatoon 2 (Dec) as our big soundtracks, and smaller games in between

I really think that the current SplatoonNA translator has confused the JP name for the Triumvirate (オカシラ連合, "a union of bosses") for "Boss Salmonids"
this is now the second tweet where "Boss Salmonids" replaces parts where the original JP text talks about the Triumvirate

I love when non-gamer authors try to write gen z/alpha characters that play Fortnite
for one, they always spell it as Fortnight
sometimes they also try to describe the character playing it, and it becomes very obvious that they have no idea how Fortnite is actually played lol

the difference in the reactions to Nintendo Music between the Japanese and Western fans is interesting
people over here have lots of complaints, like "why not Spotify", "credit your composers", etc
meanwhile, the JP fans are super positive and happy (from what I've seen)

I wish book sites listed length in terms of word count rather than number of pages
I'm all in on ebooks nowadays, and with ebooks, the page count can vary wildly depending on the font, screen size, etc
word count is a much more reliable way to gauge a work's length imo
