Nintendo really needs to make that Switch 2 announcement already.

I've had a ton of problems with joycons mainly because of kids who are careless. They've matured a lot now, but at one time, I had my own joycons and a pro pad that was only gor me until they started tsking care of things.

With the way the joycons fit into the Switch 2 it should much sturdier then the current rail system.

The Switch 2 may feature two USB-C ports--one on the bottom, and one on the top, which could allow the device to connect to a secondary external display while on-the-go. The rumored dual-screen design may not be the typical DS-like clamshell that everyone was expecting, but instead refer to this external display support.

It's also highly likely that the USB-C port at the top is made for more convenient charging.

I expect Nintendo announce that there won't be any annoucements for new hardware this year.

Then people will be like, "calendar year or fiscal?!"

I always hated letting the nephew's use the joycons in their own house, especially as Arms was a favourite. They have hard stone tiled floors and anything they drop tends to shatter on it, including tv remotes.

So regarding the USB C port on the top... Switch "Attach"? Rumour?

Someone said it might be for charging in tabletop mode.

Hopefully some bright spark will develop a portable USB c stick with massive capacity, that clips onto the system somehow.

Been listening to the latest GUPodcast.  Good call on calling out AI for being postmodern, one of the best takes I've heard on all of your podcasts, really enjoyed it.  It's definitely for the show an above average enjoyable installment.  yes

I'm going to go on record to say that I think those Switch2 images are fakes, even the prototype ones.  I'm going to be basing this on the use of regular screws for the joycons, where Nintendo always uses the 3-pronged alternative so you have go through the lengths of buying such a screwdriver if you want to open up your system.  I also don't believe that Nintendo would copy the design of the Switch down to the placement and size of the buttons, vents and ports.  Nintendo would at least change the port so that you can't accidentally slip the Swith2 into a Switch dock.

I also hope it's fake, because the last thing I need is a photo button on both joycons.  I accidentally hit the one on Switch enough to not need a second one.

Apparently the physical photos of the internals have x6 written on it, which according to shipping info, means it's a prototype from last year. The current prototype is x8.

In terms of the dock connections I'd say it's deliberate, because the OLED dock is actually 4k compliant. So if you have an OLED dock you now have two docks when you get a Switch 2 and can live the good life as I do, flipping the OLED between tvs with ease.

SNES Battletoads & Double Dragon is on NSO. I haven't played it before. I probably can't make it past the first level, lol, but I'll try it later today anyway.

not that the majority of video game forms have any kind of real legal experts in them, but the general consensus is this is going to be an extremely difficult case for Nintendo to win. Have they done this much earlier, Nintendo could probably outspend them. But Palworld has been a pretty successful game. Odds are the devs can cover the cost now.

So it makes me wonder if Nintendo 's legal team is crazy or if they have some sort of smoking gun that nobody knows about yet.

It might've taken this long for them to dig deep enough to find something, but I doubt it. Nintendo, like most big companies, are bullies. They have money to burn. Hopefully, the devs can defend themselves. Similarities are not infringement, IMO.

Three Romancing SaGa 2 remake demo is out and it's fairly decent so far.

I remember Robio saying that the Romancing SaGa was spiritual predecessor to the Octopath Traveler games. So I added the 4 or so games already on Switch. The remake feels good, I like that I understand it's combat system instantly and it's not confusing me with rpg bullcrap.

Plus it's a great port, really smooth and pretty decent image quality taken to top crispness via Mclassic.

Glad to hear you're checking it out the series.

Romancing SaGa 2 had an interesting story, and after watching the trailer, it looks like they've expanded it quite a bit too. It should make for a really good experience.
