Nintendo sells stuff for children of all ages, and I would bet that a significant customer base is adults who want to continue their childhood hobby. Not enough to make a console unprofitable, but surely enough to make a dent. And I have to say as an adult Nintendo kid who is an unabashed pirate, I actually still own a significant amount of switch games. Pirates don’t pay for everything, but not every pirate pays for nothing.
Yeah, I wouldn’t count on emulator developers being paid out. That feels like either bait, or maybe even Nintendo buying the emulator to use on the switch 2 for backwards compatibility.
Allegedly, not all switch games will be backwards compatible, leading to people assuming it’s emulated rather than similar architecture. Either way, it’s an ARM CPU, an Nvidia GPU that’s probably DLSS capable and maybe even capable of framegen. It sounds like it may be tougher to emulate, but definitely still possible on more modern hardware. It’s gonna be neat to watch.
They’ve got a perfect storm building here. Significant price increases, a recession thats likely to officially hit sometime just after release, tariffs, and a growing disdain for Nintendo’s anti piracy efforts.
They better hope that the performance increases make it technically prohibitive to emulate.
Depends on the timeline, but coincidentally, yes it could have. He’s out there eating festering roadkill and carving the heads off of bloated whales, he realistically probably did have parasites, and ivermectin should be routine for him. Not for COVID, of course.
More than one way to skin a billionaire.
I hear Mayor McCheese is on his side though, he helped that greasy bastard out of a legal situation.
Unfortunately. Here’s to hoping him and trump go up on one of his rockets so the world can mourn them like we did the submarine idiots.
April fools about Brian Thompson being innocent, for reals about the rest though.
I think that until we get healthcare reform, we should just let Luigi out after 2 or 3 months, and give him a new target. We’ve got a reality TV star for a president, so that’s a hell of a lot more likely than it should be.
Does anyone have an example of propaganda against Tesla that isn’t from the right wing and even trump himself? The distaste and public backlash has all been because of him and his unprecedented and illegal destruction of our institutions. The protests and the acts of violence have nothing to do with Tesla except hitting him where it hurts, the stock price.
If I remember correctly, people assumed that Wheeler had a deep hatred in his heart for the cable company oligopoly in America which stonewalled his company/invention from taking root in the states. A brief look at his wiki page seems to tell some of that story, calling the Nabu Network “the internet, 10 years ahead of its time”. Imagine if you essentially invented the internet, the cable companies prevented your invention from coming to fruition, and then someone went and implemented it on phone lines instead shortly after.
There’s more to the story than just cable oligopoly rat fucks, including technical and arbitrary limitations of the technology, compared to the standardized open web we know.
Meanwhile, this guy is a straight up conservative hatchet man installed to damage and destabilize. He holds no grudges against the folks enriching him.
That explains it. You know there are incentives for your employer to hire vets, right? You’re a DEI hire.
You do realize that you’re glossing over the fact that yours is one of the few decently paying fields that allows entry without a degree or certification and doesn’t destroy your body, that everyone is different and technology skills are not some people’s strong suits, and that opportunities are not given equally, right?
Nah, probably not. This is called survivorship bias, and you’ve fallen into it hard.
I mean, if you flip this on the x axis, the country support lines up pretty well to the political compass memes for the West. Authoritarians overwhelmingly support Israel, lefties overwhelmingly support Ukraine, and the right wing is surprisingly pro Russia. I wish more libs, both right and left, supported Palestinians though.
Of course, the words attached are hilarious bullshit still haha.
It do be like that sometimes.
It’s also an extremely long shot, isn’t it? Trying to convince people that old people won’t complain about things, and that they trust the government. That’s about as likely as trying to convince a Republican that they want a Tesla.
Our only saving grace is that they’re reeeally dumb sometimes.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
There’s already been a couple attempts on his life, so your theory holds ground.
I don’t think it’s a niche market, personally. But of course I could be wrong, it would be neat to do a study. I assume Nintendo adults like us with kids makes up a noticeable number of sales. Sure, there’s probably a larger market in New kids in general, but I wouldn’t discount this demographic completely.
But I agree wholeheartedly with you that Nintendo’s stance towards its customers is abrasive at best.
