new Nintendo careers page shows an early prototype of GameChat running on switch dev hardware, pretty interesting page since there's some details about using work they did for Quick Settings to have it usable during gameplay, and giving the OS more resources for it www.nintendo.co.jp/jobs/keyword...

photo of two switch development units, one presumably running Zelda Breath of the Wild and sharing its screen to the other, and two user icons on the top of the screen

now that i can finally mess around with the Astro games files... there's a bunch of debug functionality that can be enabled with launch arguments and modifying xml files in the game, setting -debugInput True enables some fun button combos, like free fly, free cam, Instant Death button, debug warping

in early versions of the Switch HOME Menu (qlaunch), there is this unused graphic, mentioning a "team Ocean". This name is referring to the team behind the UI of the Switch, as the applets are generally referred to as part of Ocean internally

graphic of a snake in a circle with lines going around it like they're orbiting it, with the text "POWERED BY team Ocean" above and below it

The back case of PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC for Xbox One/Series systems says Optimized for Xbox One instead of Series X underneath the Xbox Series X feature list and this is so crazy to me. I've never seen that on an Xbox case before so I'm assuming this might be a mistake, but still kind of surprising

Picture of the back of the case, the feature list reads:
Xbox Series X:
Optimized for Xbox One
Smart Delivery
Single Player
Co-op
4K Ultra HD
60 Frames Per Second

I think... I think I really like Mario Kart World y'all... even Free Roam is fun to just dick around in... I haven't even played a Grand Prix yet just free roam with some missions and some friend races, and I'm finally used to the physics here, I can't wait to get good at this game Cow is great too
