Nate likes black licorice.

I'm afraid that means I can no longer trust his judgement on anything. Oh dear.

It can be a really hostile place there, especially when it comes to rumors and diversity in the gaming landscape. A shame because I think the staff overall puts out enjoyable content.

Someone even speculated I was Nate himself. lol
Oh yeah, I'm not as familiar with their writers but the three main video guys are all great

I really like NintendoLife's content, but that comment section (just as basically every comment section on the Internet) is cancer.

30 minutes into Eastward. One of the first tasks is to buy a memory needed to play a game. Oh yeah, this game is gonna hit you over the head with "Remember the 90?!" vibes.

holy shit, congratulations??

do uh… do they give out awards for receiving awards on behalf of award-winners? because you deserve that award!
I mean I styled it out in incredible fashion so maybe.

Congrats to your friend!

….Did you thank NintendoEra?

Or condemn us?

Either way works.
No time for speech unfortunately

Congrats… I think?
He's a good person so sharing in his happiness was a rare moment of glee

"My friend is dreadfully sorry he couldn't metroid it tonight..."
But he just had a baby so he's a-kraid he couldn't come up with anything

I feel like most of their first party games get previews about 3 weeks before launch, and they've been doing a lot of Dread marketing on Fridays the past month or so.

Also I'm very glad I actually double checked this post because autocorrect changed previews to penises
So I went through some of the first party games released this year and yeah three weeks seems like about the time most get their previews. Friday is less common but WarioWare had them three weeks before on a Friday so tomorrow for Dread would line up with that exactly.

I would love it so much, but doesnt it maybe seem unlikely they'd announce gb/gbc and n64 at the same time, or even within a few months of eachother? I mean based on what Nate has given plus the beautiful label lining up wjth n64 specs, im pretty convinced we'll see n64 but after 3 years of such little in the way of virtual console, this just seems too amazing to be true. Maybe they could be trying to make up for no nso update last year? Thought anyone?

I don't think it's impossible that an original plan to have GB or N64 last year, and the other one this year, was ultimately pushed forward so the two will launch close together. Either just because of COVID making things work out that way, or also possibly because the Game Boy and N64 originally had connectivity with each other that would be a cool new feature to emulate in the classic game service.

However, I'm probably subject to biased reasoning here because that connectivity is exactly what I want. Features like that have always been extremely lacking since VC began on Wii, and I have low hopes it'll start happening now. But just hypothetically I do think it would be a really convenient explanation for the extra year's gap.

I never bought the NES or SNES Switch controllers because I always felt the Switch Pro controller was perfectly fine for playing those games. If we're actually getting N64 games and an N64 controller I might just have to buy one, C button mapping on modern controllers always feels funky.

We still don't have a proper deathmatch multiplayer FPS on Switch, it's crazy. Closest thing we have is Warface but the pay-2-win mechanic of the game absolutely ruins it. That's it.

No, you said, "I wouldn't expect anything out of it" regarding Nick's tweet, remember? That's why we all disregarded the tweet.

Still drives me insane. I think I played the Doom 2016 multi back when it first came out for all of 10 minutes before I gave up and went back to the campaign.

Captain clarified that it was Halo on Switch he was talking about.

However he said last year that he never heard anything else about it. So it was kinda obviously a nothing burger rumor.

Fuck me, I missed that update.

Dream is dead, can't believe I have to now hold out hope for fucking TimeSplitters of all games to rise from the grave and hopefully come to Switch in this lifetime.

Give me Pokemon GB games and the Stadium games with all the connectivity between them intact and I'll be so happy.

Just finished the Prologue of Eastward. My impression is extremely positive so far. Great artstyle, the way the characters move (even just idly) is very endearing, good dialogue, intriguing world and lore, excellent soundtrack. Combat is basic but fine (it's not really that dissimilar to 2D Zelda at this stage, perhaps not quite as tight). I'm excited to see where this goes

Hi guys, I don't know if I can ask here but did anyone use the galaxy earbud 2 on the Switch? Did have any problem? I'm thinking of buying now that bluetooth has arrived

Haven't used the Galaxy Buds, but my Sony WH-1000XM4s got this crackle after a while, so I went back to wired.

Not a remotely helpful response, sorry lol

damn I sure don't enjoy reading comments on the internet

time to comment about it on the internet

I'm regretting loading those NintendoLife comments and also regretting downloading the Reddit app just to open creepypasta links sent my way because I'm so tired of trying to avoid their shitty website-to-app pipeline tactics… the terrorists win, I'm going home, "dark patterns" can fuck off a cliff

someday they'll be able to reconstitute a person from their aggregated ad profile and it'll be just like that time the Ice King tried to bring a book to life

This is like the third time it's been rated and I think we all assumed it already, but Switch version confirmed!

Let's hope they give us some filter options so I can make circle of the moon impossible to see to recreate the original experience.

Also: black licorice is terrible, but anise snd fennel flavors/derivatives are quite good. It's the overpowering flavor of the licorice that does it in. Additionally, kale is good.

And now you disrespect black liquorice. Shame on you.
anise and anise-adjacent shit slaps but I have to take my BL in moderation

a few weeks ago my partner found intense salted black liquor mice hard candies with salt on the inside as well

it was like eating a battery I swear to god

fascinating though

I finished two of them

what were we talking abyss

Edit: autocorrect says liquor mice, y'all get liquor mice. I'm not fit to fight fate the hate forever, mate (ain't that great)

faux double edit: my faux stroke continues

a "fauxke," if you will
