Is that the first Wario game?

I don't believe so.

Super Mario Land 3 was when he appeared.

robio said:
I will argue that Wario's Woods is not a Wario game at all. You play the game as Toad. Wario is just the ever present bad guy.

True. It has kick-ass sound track and that's about it. Other than it was the last game Nintendo published for the SNES.

GG I asked coPilot to give me a summary of known Switch 2 rumours and this is what it spat out.  It that about it?

  • Release Date: Expected to be revealed in January 2025, with a possible launch by June or July.

  • Design: The Switch 2 may resemble the original Switch but with a larger size, USB-C ports, and an improved dock. It might also feature a second USB-C port for charging while in handheld mode1.

  • Performance: Rumored to have an 8-core Cortex-A78AE processor, 8GB of RAM, and an 8-inch LCD display. It's expected to be significantly more powerful than the original Switch1.

  • Backward Compatibility: The Switch 2 will be backward compatible with the original Switch, allowing access to its vast library of games.

  • Joy-Cons: The new controllers are rumored to use Hall effect joysticks, which should eliminate the stick drift issue that plagues the current Joy-Cons.

  • Price: Expected to cost between $399 and $449.

Relatively accurate aside from the RAM which is 12gb.



Missing a lot of details, like the gpu, HDD speed, memory cards etc.


...

Thanks GG, I'll use that in the next podcast.

Youtube keeps popping up with rtx 3050 game test videos (said to be similar to the Switch 2 gpu)

The one I saw last night ran 40 games all at 1080p. But what was interesting was that all the games were running at ultra settings.

When he enabled DLSS he kept the resolution at 1080p but the framerate spiked bare minimum +30fps.

The 3050 basically ran everything they put on it.

If Switch 2 can match the card it seems it won't have many problems running AAA games. I guess the cpu is in doubt, we don't know if Nintendo will throttle the wattage down for heat reasons.

And the gpu itself may be pared down with less shader cores.

Many of the videos are shown with and without DLSS. It really works and does make a big difference.

It either massively boosts the frame rate, massively boosts the resolution or sometimes both.

I'm used to 30fps or 60fps, the DLSS framerates achieved were ridiculous, 144fps sometimes more.

Super late but important game recommendation for Christmas.

Yuletide Legends: who framed Santa Claus.

I got this on sale but was saving this for Christmas and started it. It's super Christmas atmosphere, full on baubles and trees and Santa.

You play as a yuletude Detective, trying to save Christmas. It's a game you can play with the family, spotting items and clues. Super chilled out too.

Because there's a lot of old Christmas tunes and carols the game has traditional tunes you know. It's playing God rest ye merry gentlemen as I type.

I got it for like 2 usd but sometimes it's on sale for 13 dollars.

Santa is locked in jail, I just chased Krampus up Big Ben clock tower and threw snowballs at a sentient pirate teddy bear.

Then I grabbed onto Santa's sleigh in an epic midair jump to save Christmas. Now I'm locked inside an ice jail.

My bro and nephew came over for breakfast.

I've been playing Duke Nukem 3d world tour. It's pretty good, gyro controls make it more fun, and the full 3D engine.

I may pick up the old Doom games next. Wish Dark Forces was cheaper.
