Seconding Lumines. One of the few puzzles games that captures the feel of Tetris while still being it’s own thing

I was under the impression that force ghosts are for people with a very high force sensativity. Those kids were still in training, so I doubt they get them

I have both an OLED Switch and a Switch 2. If you don’t have any other consoles then I’d say a Switch 2 is worth it. It’s getting a lot of games the Switch 1 couldn’t play and combined with the Switch 1 library there’s a lot of really great games. If you have a Switch already then I’d say it’s probably not worth it. Likewise if you have a PS4/5 I’d recommend playing games on that over getting a Switch 2. However having a portable “home” console is a really nice feature. Something to consider is unlike the past it looks like Switches will get more expensive in the short term rather than cheaper

In terms of games: DK Bonanza is a slightly worse Mario Odyssey, which is still a really good game! Kirby Air Ride is just ok. Mario Kart world is worse than 8 and Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Pokopia and Tamodachi are supposed to be excellent for people who like those games. Outside of that basically everything else is available on other systems

If everyone you interact with on a daily basis can have their opinions changed by throwing money at them, then you start to believe that is just how people are. So when a bunch of people change their mind quickly you just assume they were paid to do so

Remember the Mario NFT? The Crypto-Rupee? Nintendo may be frustrating for a lot of reasons but their adoption of new technology does seem to be primarily focused on providing what they think will be a better experience for players and not investors. Not all of them are hits (shout out Alarmo) but if you take a bunch of big swings then they can’t all be

Yeah, it screams unreliable narrator. “I was banned over a frog!” and definitely not for throwing slurs around

In a way they’d be right, but not the one they want

Octopussies is actually the name for a harem of Maud Adams clones

Burkina Faso also pulled themselves out of the International Criminal Court with similar logic. They said America, Isreal, Russia, and China all get to do basically whatever they want globally while Burkina Faso is constantly slapped with sanctions

Now those sanctions are because that country is one of the most dangerous on the planet, so it’s hard to take the military leader at his word. Even if he had a valid point
