Hi Bob, I purchased your Wullf Den tshirt and received the item twice. Happy to pay forward the cost of the tshirt to your chosen charity. Love the podcast guys.
my problem with the c button rumors is that if it is a chat toggle or a camera button is that wouldn’t it make more sense to use an icon rather than the letter c? The ‘c’ makes it feel like an extension of x y a b following the letter naming convention.
I am hoping for it to be a controller mapping toggle. One of the things that the switch did poorly IMHO. Players should be able to switch controller schemes at will, have saved mappings, & profile / system based defaults by game.
Hey guys, appreciate the podcast. Just one thing that journalists and you guys are missing on metrics: Microsoft is likely looking at revenue per user, not revenue per game. Average users will buy less than 2 games a year. Game Pass users are paying almost 3 full games per year on subscription alone. When they say it’s a success, it’s because overall player spending in the ecosystem is up, even if individual games don’t chart.
1:54:41 Do I want more power in handhelds yes, but only because the problem isn't the hardware it's lack of optimization and more powerful hardware is the roundabout way of fixing the much deeper issue of development.
I almost exclusively play switch with sideways joycons with 3rd party grips on them. Mario party, smash, and Mario kart all support these. I only play switch when I have friends are over and being able to use 2 sets of joycons for 4 players is great. One of my favourite features and am personally glad they havnt changed they mirrored layout.
Guys I was looking on Zillow and there’s some dumpy ass house with a dilapidated roof in amityville for like 500k. The three of us should go in on it and start a factory to manufacture joy cons that have a little jello dispenser so you can snack a bit while you game.
I remember using Bobs videos when I worked at Staples telling them that if they use a switch not provided by Nintendo it would break their switch. I freaked out a few soccer moms and whatever those dads are called that don’t know gaming. That was over five years ago now
As a kid I had the Wii uDraw tablet, I thought it was the same thing just newer so never got it. Only a few years ago actually found out the Wii U was a whole other console
I think that we haven't seen a lot about disc based ROM/ISO dumping devices is because most soft mods for those consoles have a dumping program built in. I need a GBA dumper because my GBA can't dump the ROMs from the carts, my PS2 can rip the ISO from my PS/PS2 discs with custom firmware
One thing about the Nintendo server 'security risk' announcement - why did they specifically single out Wii U? Does that mean we can still mod our 3DS? 😂 It almost makes me half inclined to believe that there is a security problem and it isn't just Nintendo not wanting us to do it.
how'd you guess the switch two would have dual screen functionality by connecting to an external display. close, but its gonna connect to a second switch2 or an original switch, with the switch2 being the "home device" running the software, and the secondary device can be used as control or touch input, basically functioning like the wiiu gamepad.
random hot take. The stealth being in StarWars outlaws is in my opinion because they are just re-using the entire engine and everything from the Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint games basically just reskinned, probably truly is basically wildlands, with starwars mods lol. That being said....Wildlands and breakpoint are the only ubisoft games ive enjoyed completely since rainbow six vegas 2 and like the 2nd assasins creed. probably some others but I just take ubisoft with a big old bag of salt these days lol. but you have inspired me to give StarWars Outlaws a chance.
47:40 I am not behind Taki Udon anymore. He needs to finish the OLED lite screen project and get those shipped out before starting 10 other things. Mine should have shipped by now based on the last update and it’s still delayed. Never supporting another project again especially with a pre-order. I was hoping to get the lite OLED screen in before the Switch 2 released lol.
i didn’t buy it, but i agree! if it weren’t for the switch lite oled mod hype, where it’s something everyone’s been wanting and sold fast; he wouldn’t have the confidence to do all these other things smh
It’s a project run buy a bunch of random dudes and a tech enthusiast. It’s like Kickstarter. Delays happen all the time. You’re not dealing with Amazon, not sure what you were expecting. Plus a few batches did ship out so it’s not like it’s a scam.
I fully agree with Bob's argument about Switch 2 power. Arguably people might care about graphics for immersive/atmospheric experiences though. And, if I'm honest, the potato mode version of the Witcher 3 on Switch would ruin the experience of that game for me. Sure, stuff like path tracing enhances games like Alan Wake 2, CP 2077 and Indiana Jones but that's where a high-end PC shines. I wouldn't buy a Switch for those types of experiences. I think it's much more important for the Switch 2 to be as affordable as possible.
I'm hoping Nintendo would reveal it this week，but I don't trust these rumors, feels like click bait, and they'll milk it until Nintendo actually announces a direct
@mattbtv like the xbox guide button, steam button, ps5 button. I think it's likely. The first switch has just the home button, but every other console also has access to a sub menu. It makes sense.
Genuine question, I know Nintendo gets a ton of shit for having an external app but does anyone care about in game chat anymore? Doesn't everyone just use Discord?
Well people who have and use a switch generally rarely use online functionality really. I imagine people don't really need it they just like the idea of having it.

The pauses during conversation is so quiet I sometimes look to see if my connection is buffering.

Like the c stick from the GameCube controller. Or the c buttons from n64
I think ITS Chat

@JohnKerbaugh that would be pretty sweet
It's Chat GPT guys. Everything must have AI integration guys.
I hope it’s just a direct announcing an update for Alarmo so everyone can collectively lose their shit.

It’s gonna be called the Switch Flip, have 2 screens and clamshell design….put that on your whiteboard! 😝🤣
You had me until the clamshell part lol, I do like the sound of Switch Flip though
Will waving again hit like CRACK
The Nintendo Switch announcement was the last home console announcement to ever happen before Will Wulff became a father. Crazy stuff here folks.
1:54:41 Do I want more power in handhelds yes, but only because the problem isn't the hardware it's lack of optimization and more powerful hardware is the roundabout way of fixing the much deeper issue of development.
The C button is for Chat GPT everyone. Clearly it wouldn't be tech from the mid 2020s without AI integration. /s

At this point, does Nintendo even care about their fan base if they don’t have a Jello dispensing button??

I have outlaws sitting in my game pile and unplayed since I got it for Xmas and now the wolf bros made me want to play it

Hey Bob, about the chain restaurants in old houses: Have you seen the Starbucks in the 100 year old Kyoto townhouse?
Shader pre-compilation is a hell of a drug that's one of the biggest benefits of Linux and it does apply to bazzite

This might be a long shot, but if you have a DS and a flash cart I know that’s a common way people like to rip GBA games!

Next week's new rumoured announcement date for the switch successor console... 1/23/25 lol
It's a C for Capture. It's a screenshot, share ,chat button . That is my prediction.

There are about 5 streaming services for the Switch in Japan.
the atomicycle is just the newest vehicle your warframe rides. its "unique" as they are allowing you to ride it in all missions.

I'm already waiting for the leaks for the Switch 2 OLED, aka Switch 2 Pro.

If anyone is able to figure out the succession of Xbox consoles, they should have no issue discerning switch from its successor.

49:06 not to get woke that's definitely not my cap!
The c button is just to screen 😢 capture having its own button and other use for screen capture moments 😂 everyone is funny
I hate Ecco the Dolphin. I blame it for contributing to my thalassophobia.

re:tweet of the week, i live not too far from a blue KFC and a red and white Subway . shit is fucked up man
So have you heard the rumors about Switch 3?

Campus it seems :D
moisty charlie admitted to lying about everything earlier this week i think
