Poor Val. He's always been one of my favorites. Top secret, Willow, The Doors, etc. well those were just awesome movies. And if you guys haven't seen it for some reason, you need to watch kiss kiss bang bang. It's become a Christmas tradition in my house, even though it's basically a Christmas movie and the way that die hard is a Christmas movie. He's incredible, and it's pretty much the reason why Robert Downey Jr got cast as iron Man.
Wish I could watch the treehouse. I want to see the games and I really want a Prime 4 release date. Probably Fall.
I went over the footage and Prime 4 has the best textures of any video there.
Just the increased RAM makes more of a difference than most else.
I hope other games get finished with higher quality textures. So weird there was no DLSS at all in any game shown. I wonder if it's something they will enable just before a game releases.
Eurogamer did an article on Switch 2s price, comparing it in regions and adjusting it for inflation.
I've posted the whole text in the Switch 2 thread but here's the main takeaway for me:
Eurogamer said:
Still, accounting for inflation, the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle works out cheaper in the UK than the original Switch with a copy of Breath of the Wild in 2017.
To directly compare the consoles alone, £280 for the original Switch works out at £367.40 today with inflation, still cheaper than Switch 2. However, throw in the big launch game and it's a better deal - an original Switch with a separate copy of Breath of the Wild cost £340 at launch in 2017, which works out at £446.13. That's pricier than the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle.
Over in Europe, the Switch 2 console costs €469.99, or €509.99 for the Mario Kart World bundle. That's equivalent to the cost in the UK.
It's a different story in other parts of the world, however.
I received my Atari 7800+ and a sealed copy of Frenzy. I haven't opened either up yet but I'm a bit surprised that the 7800+ console was heavier than I'd expected.
Also Frenzy, which was never released back in the day, looks exactly like a 1989 7800 release. This will be the first sealed 7800 game I've open in over 30 years.
I ordered a brand new set of CX30+ Paddle controllers from Atari too. I should have them in a few days.
This almost feels like getting a brand new console except the price is reasonable, lol.
Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle is only availible in limited quantities while stock lasts.
Nintendo is sending out invitations to pre order this system only if you meet certain requirements.
You save a good chunk of money if you get the bundle, so try and pre order as soon as you can.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I was waiting for amazon and I registered my interest, but it seems to be sold in conjunction with the uk Nintendo store and says I would have to meet these requirements to even get an invite to preorder and that means having an active switch online membership
I Just used the 7 day free switch online trial so it will be active for the 8th when preorders start. Hopefully the 350 hours i poured into Snowrunner will boost my playstats and make me.eligible for invitation.
An updated Pilotwings would be great but we need to keep the SNES tunes.
Val Kilmer passed away at the age of 65. R.I.P.
R.I.P. Loved him in Top Secret.
3 mins till Switch 2 direct.
Get in Robios thread nao!
I checked the list of switch 1 games with backwards compatibility problems on Switch 2.
Out of everything there's only a few I own that bother me:
Dex
Elderand
Doom Eternal
The Journey Down trilogy
Dust and Elysian Tale
Saints Row 4
With Nintendo's new console price, I can't help but wonder how much a PS6 would cost if tariffs are still in place when it launches.
Wait, how much is PS5 PRO?
There's a Nintendo tree house in 2 hours today. 2pm UK time.
And one tomorrow.
Wish I could watch the treehouse. I want to see the games and I really want a Prime 4 release date. Probably Fall.

I'll post anything interesting i see.

I updated with tons of stuff in the switch 2 thread, hands on impressions too guys.
Now I feel really old.
2600 paddle controllers are like early 80s arcade spinners for games like Breakout, Arkanoid, Kaboom, Tempest, etc.Oh you sweet summer child.
Are these those things I stare into at an eyesight test?
When I unscrew the caps, is there salt inside?
Is this what Vader uses to scan people's ball sacks?
So I'll post this here:
