Mine always show up, but it’s a 50/50 on whether or not they give a fuck. Sometimes they’ll walk in the front door, snap a single pic from the entrance and call it a day, other times they closely examine the light switches to make sure they don’t have any dust on top. Anxious nightmare every time.

It was very easy to not cover it! At Vooks we saw it, said “yeah nah probably not” and then just… never did. Easiest decision in the world and zero repercussions for making that choice. Makes you wonder why so many jumped through hoops to try and justify it.

Better than Tears of the Kingdom y’know?

Should I be worried

Loaded into a match earlier and it was just all Xerneas

If you think about it, all battle facilities are roguelikes

I can't believe that game has like 6 battle passes and 15 currencies, just utter trash

Yeah that’s a really good way to put it. The devs were super clever about recontextualising certain 3D mainstays too, like the homing attack being an extension of the boost dash.

It all feels super super polished. I’ve been playing on a Mac with a DualSense and it’s just kinda feels like a console

Good catch. I imagine there are hoops that need to be jumped through on Nintendo Australia’s side, hopefully it’s not too long!

It’s hard to say. Our MNS is very different from other regions, and operated separately. The big problem would be the physical items — digital games on the AU eshop are already using the same protocol as the app.

There have been efforts to centralise services, so I think it will happen eventually.

Sadly not the entire world — Australia misses out, to nobody's surprise

It’s really good! The princess of Cannock is so cool

It is very good! Utterly bonkers that anyone played it and came away feeling anything other than positive. It rules.

I’ve written for some of the biggest media properties on the planet, including Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Newsweek, Men’s Journal, Parade, USA Today, News•com•au, The Sun, and probably more that I’ve forgotten.

I also have qualifications and experience in marketing, community management, and PR.

Jesus, this feels like a PII nightmare waiting to happen
