BBC Sucks... Um... Well 

Oh my lord, what a cluster fuck.

Also goes to show the young ones who set it up don't get physical media. I've been asked by my nephew's before, what's a DVD?

And had to explain life before streaming.

I bought Blacksad on Switch, using Switch 2 BC to play it.

On Switch it was a basically unplayable technical mess.

Switch 2 BC fixes everything, without needing a patch. It always irked me I couldn't play a good adventure game that I would enjoy.

And its only £2.30 or something.

Yeah, kids today have no idea on waiting for something to be on TV or the radio. Or waiting for anything.  Mine comes to me and says, "Can you print me a wordsearch for 7-year-olds that is soccer related?" Yeah sure... which of these 40 options do you want?

When I was a boy... yes yes I know... we had two channels on TV and you had to get up to change the channel. It was an innovation when we figured out how to record FM radio onto audio cassettes so we could (in some small way) choose to listen to what we wanted.

I used to record radio shows onto cassettes.

But... you had 2 channels??

Now I feel spoiled with a whopping 4 channels growing up.

I've rounded up and posted pics of all the awesome artwork on the Nintendo today app I've seen so far.

Check the forums.

Good for phone screen savers.

We had 3.5 TV channels growing up. The .5 channel would some in snowy or not at all; on random days when the stars aligned just right, it would come in clear ... about 3 days a year, lol.

Yeah, I learned my lesson years ago. Fortunately, there are plenty of other options these days.

I’m just going to go to my local Walmart or Best Buy to pick up Donkey Kong Bananza tomorrow. Really hyped for this game.

I think you can pretty much pick up any game you want on release day these days. No need to preorder.

I remember going to EB Games the day Killer Instinct came out on the SNES. They were sold out and told me I should have pre-ordered it. I'd never heard of pre-ordering before. I went across the street to Best Buy and they had a display full of copies that were available for anyone.

Somehow pre-ordering became a requirement at all stores soon after. All of it was BS. Now companies want us to not only pre-order digtial games but pay them $20 extra to get it three days early. WTF?

Gaming retail is dead here.

Or there are so few branches, they are too far to travel to.

Nintendo is also supposedly looking to reassure everyone that its new hybrid system is a "viable platform" for "big" third-party titles going forward. As for the announcements, they're expected to be coming from many of the major publishers:

"Announcements are coming... I also know studios like Capcom, Sega, Ubisoft, Bandai Namco and many others are just waiting. They have games they want to announce for the platform. They have a lot of support for this platform.

"...It's going to be a very important Direct for Nintendo, to say 'this is the third-party support we have, look at the games, they can stand up to those other systems' be it from a visual or performance standpoint, and 'we are a viable platform for you to select moving forward' to experience third-party releases."

He also adds how Microsoft is still expected to be a "big supporter of the system", with Activision's title Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 arriving on Switch 2 last week.

Of course, games like Elden Ring, Star Wars Outlaws and Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade are arriving later this year as well. FromSoftware's Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods is also scheduled for next year, and last week, 2K locked in NBA 2K26 for the new platform following its confirmation of WWE 2K25.

just depressing. And suits patting themselves on the back about how much money they've made off those games too. Makes me not want to follow the news of the industry anymore.

Things have been getting more and more sparse around here these days. Was able to pick up Death Stranding 2 at my local Best Buy but Walmart never got any in. Bought Dragon’s Dogma 2 digitally because neither BB or Walmart ever got the game in. Those are some of the big games too, many smaller games never get stocked. Nintendo game selection is still good for now though. Don’t expect any issues picking DKB up at either store.
