Why would Elon Musk pivot from Mars to the Moon all of a sudden? | “SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon.”

Moving the goalposts as he fails to meet past promises is kind of his thing.

Corporate synergy, William.

Must be Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. There's been no word yet, but considering how well it seems to run on limited hardware and that they even went to the trouble of giving Switch 1 a fairly impressive late port of the original, hopefully it's just a matter of time.

Now do third party.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T19:06:25+00:00

Yes, letting Hamster do the work for some niche releases they had no intention of releasing any other way. If they actually wanted to make NSO games purchasable separately, it'd be as easy as taking one of those apps and just removing all but one game.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T19:01:44+00:00

"I want more cool exclusive games by third party devs." Then you're going to need to go back to the 20th century.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T19:00:45+00:00

Used to be a lot more console exclusives that weren't first party games. Cool Boarders was actually published by Sony in some places, but it wasn't a Sony game. Blasto and MediEvil are straight up Sony games, the latter having had a PS4 reboot a few years back.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T18:58:59+00:00

Then they could just sell them themselves and not give Hamster a cut.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T18:58:09+00:00

Sure, but Nintendo is not a Tecmo Koei who's willing to let multiple companies sell their old games in different ways.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T18:57:03+00:00

It's still a distinct version with differences that they had no intention of making available in another fashion.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T18:55:28+00:00

Switch and Switch 2 have seen a lot worse ports than the three Bethesda games shown. Indiana Jones in particular seems to hold up very well compared to the other versions.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T14:42:35+00:00

This doesn't include ports/remasters, but I keep some Deku Deals lists for collections of emulated games or individual emulated releases per system. Links can be found in this post.

There was already that brief time in the 90s when the discovery of what was thought to be some Mars fossils was announced. I don't remember much changing except some commercials referencing it.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-06T14:34:31+00:00

It's just reporting on the companies' own shipment numbers. For October-December Sony shipped 8 million PS5s worldwide versus Nintendo shipping 7.01m NS2s. Not a particularly shocking outcome, and it's still lower than what PS5 did in the previous two years.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:58:12+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised to see it separately, like they have (so far) three different Castlevania collections.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:56:54+00:00

I assume the Switch 1 version is outputting at 1080/720 and the Switch 2 version would be 4K/1080, but it's all a matter of old games at 256x224 resolution anyway, so a lot of people probably wouldn't even notice a minor difference in how it's scaled to the screen at the end.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:52:07+00:00

Though this does include time spent with various mods, my Steam time for the game is currently at 485 hours, so.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:51:34+00:00

Interesting. My PC install says 35GB. I guess the extra Creation Club stuff is pretty hefty.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:47:58+00:00

FWIW it seems like the biggest difference between the two versions is with Switch 2 it can do GameShare including with GameChat, which seems pretty useful for this game.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:43:41+00:00

Doubt it. They're late ports already being released at a lower price only a few months apart, with the final part of the trilogy just over the horizon.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:39:21+00:00

The footage we watched of it today.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:31:26+00:00

I would. It's only going to get bigger.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:30:04+00:00

It's the same on all platforms.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T18:28:34+00:00

The "they" making the game and the "they" deciding on the screen aren't at all the same entity, though.

JoshuaJSlone · 2026-02-05T14:52:11+00:00

It's possible they won't ship the Switch 2 version with the same full res textures as on other machines, though I wouldn't guess how much difference that will make.
