Yes, I did spend 3 hours last night doing nothing but a side/minigame thing in Yakuza Kiwami 2. I have no regrets.

Played Mario Kart World online, Rainbow Road available, some in the lobby did not pick Rainbow Road. What is the world coming to...

I owe you a pint, I've been trying to get one of these for years! Ironically just ordered it while on a train to the Playtonic office.

Back from an extensive hiatus to say happy Metroid Prime 4 day! Super excited but can't play until Friday night, and in terms of the 'discourse', it just reminded me why I don't spend much time on social media any more. My take is basic, chill and find joy in games, that's why they exist.

Incredible, congrats to everyone (past and present) from Nintendo Life. I definitely owe my career to the site and its Triforce of creators; here's to the next 20 years.

No way I'm doing a system transfer from my Switch OLED, it would take ages and I feel like playing the 'faithful' port of Metal Gear Solid on Switch 2 would be somewhat missing the point (that is legit what I'm playing on Switch this week while waiting for 2/MK World).

Sorry to hear how tough things are, but I hope expressing it helps at least a little. Also nothing wrong with seeking joy in things like online games imo, it's what makes us human.

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, 200cc feels much
faster compared to 150cc than 150cc does
compared to 100cc. This is because it actually
is about 38% faster than it should be based
on the ratio between top speed and class
as established by 50cc, 100cc and 150cc.
If the formula established by the other
engine classes is followed to calculate
the engine class that 200cc should be
based on its top speed, then the result
indicates that the true engine class the
game claims is 200cc is actually 415cc.

Nintendo probably should make a bigger deal of the fact they're giving a dozen games free performance enhancements on Switch 2. Just a thought (personally hyped to revisit Bowser's Fury)!

Surprised at some of the negativity about the Mario Kart Direct. It was a short presentation of the game, it did the thing. Not sure what people expected, overexcited because of the 'Direct' branding I suppose.

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

I get smoked occasionally! But there's still a lot of people playing, so decent odds of getting others with similar ratings. I find it fun regardless, hoping World will be just as good online too.

There are some imperfect parallels to 3DS, too (though it lacked the strong launch game offerings imo of Switch 2). Nintendo got super confident after DS, the majority noped out of the hardware price and post-launch sales tanked, prompting a significant year 1 discount. Now it's software prices.

120

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

I'm genuinely unsure whether Nintendo will be able to push ahead with its Switch 2 pricing and succeed, or if the extensive online response will have a meaningful impact. We've seen this kind of reaction before but these are particularly turbulent times. Comparisons to '90s irrelevant too, I think.

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Particularly excited about Bloodborne 2 on Switch 2.
