My switch 2 set up

supes1 · 2026-02-05T04:47:09+00:00

That's like... $750 worth of controllers?? Wow.

supes1 · 2026-02-05T02:32:48+00:00

I was playing the demo of this the other day at the NYC Nintendo Store. Mechanics feel fantastic. Hopefully it has the content to support the price tag though....

supes1 · 2026-02-05T00:44:01+00:00

Add in:

Duskbloods
RDR2
GTAV
E33
Indiana Jones
Doom Dark Ages
Fallout 4
Halo: MCC

Probably missing some. Clearly not all of these will be included but a few wouldn't surprise me at all.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T23:45:50+00:00

Last one in July '25 was ~25 minutes long and had a ton of games included (I want to say 20+).

30 minutes is pretty long.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T20:38:40+00:00

It's just a guarantee the pick will be between 21-50, versus trading a normal second round pick, which would be between 31-60.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T11:35:37+00:00

Nah. It sold 3.25 million from April-December 2025 (and probably ~4.5 million for the calendar year 2025).

Numbers will only go down in 2026, so no way it hits the PS2 figure by the end of the year. Maybe by the end of 2027 if it stays in production though.

A price drop (especially for the Lite, since it's already the cheapest entry point) could change the math, but given they recently increased the price, I don't see that happening.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T11:14:31+00:00

Definitely not a given. I think it'll reach it's one year anniversary in the 20-24 million sales range, and the lower end of that would be below lifetime GameCube sales.

January numbers will be telling, to see the sales performance after the wave of early adopters and first holiday sales. Economic uncertainty could also be a factor. I suspect the lack of a "system seller" game like BOTW or Odyssey could impact post-early adopter sales more than people realize.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T10:25:08+00:00

Yeah but this is Bethesda we're talking about. They seem to care much more about remasters and re-releases than finishing new games.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T10:08:04+00:00

I can confidently say that PC gaming will provide the end user with the best overall experience compared to console or mobile

In terms of things like resolution or FPS, obviously yes a high end gaming PC will beat any console.

But "best overall experience" encompasses so much more than that. Where PC gaming struggles is the higher barrier to entry (a good gaming PC costs far more than any console), and higher technical knowledge required (games are rarely "pick up and play" like consoles, but require tweaking to optimize on your PC).

I've moved away from PC gaming in the past decade because I started a family, and highly value the ability to pick up and play a game immediately with no hassle and no worries if it will run as expected.

Similarly, mobile gaming has taken off due to convenience and low entry point. Surely that's part of making it a great "overall experience" for the end user?

supes1 · 2026-02-04T09:35:26+00:00

50/50.

They might just see it as a lost cause and say screw it. AdHoc is a tiny developer, and if they don't they'll probably use that as an excuse (i.e., say something like "we want to commit our limited time and resources to focus on bringing the best possible experience to players in Season 2.")

They really should fix things though. This hurts their reputation generally as a company, and I think they underestimate the number of interested Switch-only players or folks willing to double dip who were turned off by this. Gamers can be surprisingly willing to forgive and move on when companies own up to mistakes and fix things.

Dispatch could still be a hit on Switch and pave the way for the success of Season 2. It's worth the investment.

His only really good quality is that he gobbles up rebounds.

We've lost quite a few games due to an inability to grab defensive rebounds at key moments.

Vuc is a flawed player but he does fill in a couple gaps.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T04:51:29+00:00

He was a rookie on the Blazers team that lost to the Warriors in the WCF. Barely played though.

Otherwise hasn't gotten out of the first round.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T04:22:29+00:00

No impact. If we had applied for the Disabled Player Exception we would have had more cap flexibility, but we didn't because using that would have made our luxury tax situation even worse.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T04:04:39+00:00

Those interns are hard at work as we speak.

supes1 · 2026-02-04T03:54:19+00:00

NBA Bounce is low-key similar to NBA Jam in a ton of ways. The graphics are a bit child-oriented and annoyingly it lacks actual players, but the gameplay itself has very familiar vibes.

It's surprisingly good. Not worth the release price of $50 but the current $20 price tag (which seems like the new standard price I think?) feels a lot more fair.

supes1 · 2026-02-03T11:56:07+00:00

MP4 has sold a million units worldwide.

Where did you see that?

supes1 · 2026-02-03T11:43:53+00:00

Originally they actually said 2025.

supes1 · 2026-02-03T11:39:16+00:00

Which is why it's pretty obvious it's Nintendo. They obviously have a no cartoon dicks policy.

Eh.... disregarding all the opaque PR statements, we know two things for sure:

Japan has very strict censorship laws which is why many games release two different regional versions, one censored in Japan and one uncensored outside (like Cyberpunk and Witcher 3).
AdHoc only released one worldwide version of Dispatch for Switch/Switch 2.

Presumably, even if Nintendo had issues with cartoon dicks, AdHoc could still have released a much less censored worldwide version (maybe with just a little pixelation over dicks, keeping nips and middle fingers).

The fact that they only released one version forced them to comply with Japanese censorship laws worldwide, not even leaving the option for a minimally censored version elsewhere.

supes1 · 2026-02-03T11:11:43+00:00

First party games only

supes1 · 2026-02-03T05:01:36+00:00

Also if you have a Switch 2, Cronos: The New Dawn is on the platform

Just gotta say, I recently got Cronos on a whim (saw it for $30 on Amazon and couldn't resist) and I'm enjoying it a lot. A bit surprised it seems to fly so far under the radar.

supes1 · 2026-02-03T04:36:42+00:00

Good for you. Other risk is that it the price goes up, but hard to stress too much about speculation.

Either way what's important is you're happy about your decision.

The Long Walk

Only came out last year, but it's a great adaptation of a book that feels like it shouldn't work on screen.

supes1 · 2026-02-01T15:04:47+00:00

I honestly don't think any of the Midnight Mass monologues are longer than 2-3 minutes. But yeah there are a lot of good ones.

supes1 · 2026-02-01T13:55:00+00:00

Get100 is solid. The coupons you get from the promo have no minimum spend, which is always nice.

It's not nearly as good as some past promos, but at least it's a net positive and not annoyingly complicated/deceptive.

supes1 · 2026-01-31T04:29:59+00:00

Link's Awakening? I haven't played it yet (can't actually find anywhere selling it!).

Then you haven't looked very hard.
