I read it yesterday from a link a friend shared - if it is the right document, that is. It seems like it is.
And it’s what you expect: insurance screwed over his mom, and then him, so that plus a lot of stuff he was reading radicalized him to do what he did.
What a great game. No other theme park builder has ever been as good.
2 in my opinion is the worst of the trilogy.
3 is a masterpiece, and doesn’t have that gotcha crap.
If I recall correctly, Nintendo announced the Switch on Jimmy Fallon (gross) in December before it dropped the following spring, so there is some precedent. Though I would agree now is a different ballgame since the switch exists and they still want to sell them until they can’t.
Pretty interesting that they are bringing this game out. We’ll be able to play all of the Xenoblade Chronicles games on the Switch, which is nice. Everyone needs to go out and waste about 500 hours on these games. At the very least XC 1-3 because that trilogy is so good, and ends so well.
What’s interesting to me is that the launch date is set for March, which means one of a few things:
Either the Switch 2 drops later than that (my guess around May), or this game will launch on both systems, or the Switch 2 is actually a fever dream and the regular Switch is Nintendo’s last console ever.
My dream is that switch 2 somehow bumps the framerate of xenoblade chronicles 3 and BotW/TotK.
Yeah! I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
Maannn, a new Solomon’s Key game would be so cool.
Ultimate is a top tier game, but I do see your concern with only being able to play handheld. I can personally play it handheld for a while and not feel too bad (by that I mean hand cramps), but it certainly does feel 100x better on a TV.
What I might ask is if you are planning on getting a Switch 2 next year. If so, we can reasonably assume the form factor will be about the same and you’ll get the TV access. Everything we’ve heard so far says Switch games will work with the Switch 2. So in the short term you may not be able to play with friends locally on the same screen, within the year we’ll have a new system and in the meantime get some good experience with the game with what you have now.
I do still play online, and there’s still a community there, so at least you’ll be able to play with other people that way.
Does anyone know if the coop can be played “locally” from switch to switch or is it only online?
I have a flight coming up with some friends, and it’d sure be cool to just play this on the plane with them.
That’s certainly a possibility. I just have this feeling that Nintendo doesn’t have any other games than what they showed us in this direct to fill up a whole extra year. Of course, that’s just a feeling.
And I feel like they may follow the Switch playbook where they show off the console in December - probably during the game awards or (ugh) on Jimmy Fallon like they did last time. Then launch in four to six months with Metroid.
If you look to the left of the screen it does look like there are 4 shortcut slots, one in this video taken up by the wand. My hope is that she gets some other items to use along with the wand. Zelda has always had bows, for example, so that’d fit right in.
I had a very similar thought myself.
They said the next big Zelda was going to be different than TotK/BotW style, so after getting some baseline skills/items/ideas that Zelda uses in this game, they could leverage that for the next big game where you can swap between the two.
It’d just be cool to play as Zelda in 3D.
Wait, you mean the girl with the wand is not Link?
The Legend of Link
By saying just “2025” this solidifies in my mind that this will be the cross gen game that launches with the Switch 2 around April or May or whatever.
Bro drink some water.
Here’s another year old article that came out in response to this.
TLDR: You should not worry, and the only people who might think about worrying are those drinking 12 cans of diet soda a day — so basically no one.
“Our results do not indicate that occasional consumption should pose a risk to most consumers,” said Dr. Francesco Branca, director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at the WHO, during a press conference in Geneva. He said the problem is for “high consumers” of diet soda or other foods that contain aspartame. “We have, in a sense, raised a flag here,” Branca said, and he called for more research.
But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it disagrees with this new classification, pointing to evidence of safety. In a written statement, an FDA official told NPR that aspartame being labeled by the WHO “as ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans’ does not mean that aspartame is actually linked to cancer.”
The WHO has long set the acceptable daily intake, or ADI, of aspartame at a maximum of 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. So, a person who weighs 60 kilograms (about 130 pounds), could consume up to 2,400 milligrams per day, which is roughly equivalent to 12 cans of Diet Coke — much higher than most people consume.
Looks great!
I have a photo I took from roughly the same angle from a few years ago. Such a great spot for photos.
I’ll believe it when I see it, but that’s cool if true!
