Okay so here's the changes to SNES Nintendo Classics 5.0.0:
- Button Remapping, and they went back to detail the controls of every single game
- New CRT Filter (not sure if it's Switch 2 only?)
- SNES Mouse support for all games supported (yes, not just Mario Paint!), can use USB or Joy Con 2.

Wow, so the $80 physical version of Mario Kart World (no digital, no bundle) ranked 3rd across all platforms in June in the United States? That's insane, huge huge success.

the "switch 2 is cheaper in japan" is going to persist like when people said "it's possible to make games like the witcher 3 on a lower budget" because people don't know anything about currency, exchange rates, or even the most basic economy

@digitalfoundry.bsky.social Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle goes from a locked 30fps on Switch 1 to a locked 60fps on Switch 2 WITHOUT a patch. The game must've been using double-buffered v-sync this entire time and so was locked to 30fps as it couldn't reach 60fps on Switch 1 but can on Switch 2!

@jon.gvg.io Idk if you've tried this yet but Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle goes from a locked 30fps on Switch 1 to a locked 60fps on Switch 2 WITHOUT a patch. The game must've been using double-buffered v-sync this entire time and so was locked to 30fps as it couldn't reach 60fps on Switch 1.

Nintendo plan to spend a record ¥140 billion (approx $966 million) in advertising for the next fiscal year.
Switch 2 will have a big push, it seems.
Three charts on Nintendo expenses:

Nintendo plans to increase advertising spend 62% YoY in Apr 2025 - Mar 2026, aligning with the Switch 2 launch (orange bar).

Highest ad spend in company history, but remains just 7.4% of revenue like last year.

So I saw the version was 3.0.0. And I actually found that very odd because it shouldn't. Turns out I was right to find it suspicious: THEY CHANGED THE NETWORK CODE FROM NEX TO NPLN!
There's a huge amount of refactors in the code.

Mercs, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, and Vectorman have been added. Update to the latest version of the app to play.

This would be so negative

Sony would own essentially all anime and niche devs like Spike Chunsoft and Acquire lose a larger audience. Would also mean Mario & Luigi go another decade seeking a studio
Reuters: Sony in talks to acquire Kadokawa, the Japanese media powerhouse behind the "Elden Ring" game, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Sony declined to comment. Kadokawa said it cannot comment.
