  The Switch catalog was limited in no small part because the device just couldn’t give acceptable performance for a lot of contemporary cross-platform games. That, of course, didn’t matter for first-party titles.

  Switch 2 performance is projected to end up somewhere around a base PS4, with better GPU but somewhat diminished CPU. However, it’s going to have more memory than the Xbox Series S that teams had trouble porting their games to.

  The Switch 2 might benefit a lot from this generation’s extended cross-gen period. Add that to franchises like Fire Emblem, Metroid, Mario, Mario Kart, Pikmin and Zelda, and the average consumer is going to think of Steam as the “limited” platform.

  A lot of conjecture, and maybe Switch 2 will turn out to be a monumental flop. I’m cautiously optimistic.

  By the way, the old, selective policy that Nintendo exercised is pretty much a thing of the past. Just browse through the eShop for three minutes.

  The break between first and second semester is six weeks long on the outside, so she could shed around 6% of her weight safely (or more, in a more unhealthy manner). That would certainly make a difference, but not one that someone would notice right away.

  I’d like to imagine their pineapple pizza was the absolute best there is on planet Earth, but in spite of (or maybe because of) that they just fucking hate making it.

  Basically, the Ronnie O’Sullivan of pie shops.

  Maybe check out Monster Train. That one also landed on Arcade pretty recently.

  Hopefully, it sold more on consoles. Otherwise, numbers like this could kill a fledgling studio outright.
