https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2018/06/27/reggie-fils-aime-sheds-light-on-the-future-of-switch-and-his-progress-in We’ve said that, certainly for this year, that we would have the NES and SNES Classic available at retail. The NES Classic comes back this month. That’s our focus right now. In terms of future Classic series, we’ll have to set up a different interview to talk about that. Look, we know that our fans love our legacy content. Being in this business 40 years, we know we have a lot of content we can surprise our consumers with. We’re aware of it, and stay tuned. Right now the focus is lets make sure that we give the consumer that wants NES Classic the chance to pick it up again. I believe we’re also going to have a strong holiday with SNES Classic as well.
It seems like a lot of Nintendo press statements are "We are focusing on X but we understand Y. Please be patient"
I'm actually blown away at how well they fitted MC for the switch 4 player splitscreen, control remapping, graphics settings, all sorts of wild shit.
Seriously where are the media apps
Context?
I can't believe that we're a year+ into the lifespan of the Switch and I still can't just chill and watch Netflix on it, I mean what the fuck. Why Hulu but not Netflix? What exactly is the holdup behind the scenes?
...not to mention, Netflix/YouTube/etc on the Switch would fit the system's motif pretty well. Having a system where you can watch a movie on the big TV screen and then resume it immediately on the tablet would be amazing.
why are we still in a pre-virtual console on Switch world what the fuck is this absolute actual garbage they're porting everything from everything except the last handful of Wii U games I care about and the ability to play older games I care about
My assumption is that it's because in the eyes of the Nintendo executive, virtual console competes with NES/SNES Mini.
"hey reggie, do you think nintendo can finally shed some light on the virtual cons-" https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/57956/a0d06ffb-91ec-4276-bb5a-aa46acb395b7/Okay thats all the time Ive got.webm
https://youtu.be/0bpOqngzbSQ At 56:50, they we're at the very end of Bowser's Castle and it was a close race until GrandPooBear lost his Fire Flower and dropped his controller, and once it did MtichFlowerPower's console shut off, probably because of the vibration the controller cause (or just terrible system set-up and any slight movement will cause it to go haywire). I don't blame Poo for it but man was it hilarious.
That sucks, one of the runners' gamecubes randomly shut off during the Zero Mission 4-player run too, were the consoles's setup there really that flimsy?

From what I remember GDQ's console setups are a nightmarish spaghetti of devices and cables. In an environment as chaotic as that I'm not surprised that one slightly wrong move could cause a console to turn off.
Pretty much, I have heard that the console setup in GDQ is a fucking nightmare of a mess, and I really question how it's still happening. They have PLENTY of space to seperate the wirings to avoid this kind of stuff.

https://gonintendo.com/stories/312691-negative-retro-studios-job-review-from-former-employee-says-staff I hope this isn't true. It would be a shame if Retro Studio gets shut down.

I'd take the retro review with a grain of salt. It's pretty easy to make a fake Glassdoor review.
I beat Twilight Princess HD at long last and man, as retread-y of OoT as it was and as useless some of the items were after their dungeons... I would kill to have fun things like weapon techniques and the ball and chain or lantern in Breath of the Wild. Let me learn new ways of using the same old sword/lance/axe weapons if you're not letting me have new weapons. Even the gale boomerang would be cool to have if I could use it in environments where I could, say, use it to pick up a barrel and then drag it over to an enemy, or drag enemies together along with a bomb rune I threw. (what I really want is the spinner to be useable everywhere by using enemies as bumpers to gain speed or something but that would be too much fun) I really hope for BotW2 they can take old style dungeons and plonk them into a open-air world. Enter the temple through the front door! Or from above! Or from beneath! City in the Sky or Snowpeak Ruins would be fun to run into, just soaring through the sky and seeing a huge flying city or a giant mansion in the snowy mountains.
Not to mention a disgruntled employee is going to have a unique view of the company. That said though, Retro's silence is a little worrying. I hope it means that they're just trying out new ideas as opposed to languishing.
