This is a shareholders meeting, not a press release. They're very careful with their wording. While he certainly left the door open to the possibility of *some* new Switch being released this year, the hope of a Pro is effectively dead with this news.

Why would they only just now put out a captain falcon switch when smash came out a year ago?

What has The Behemoth even been doing since then? It seems like they really just fell off the earth after their third game.

Pay no attention to Nintendo. They said the same thing before announcing the lite and other systems. The rumor about the ”pro” comes from a legit journalist, not a Twitter 'leaker.'

Speaking of tiny indie devs with quality games, this looks like an interesting one that I wouldn't mind being ported over:

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
AC won't let you have more than one island per console, which is a huge bummer for anyone who shares a system.


https://www.nintendo.com.au/catalogue/animal-crossing-new-horizons posted:

*Up to 8 players with registered accounts on a Nintendo Switch console can live on one shared island, and up to four residents of one island can play simultaneously on one console. Please note: only one island can exist per Nintendo Switch console, irrespective of the number of user accounts registered to or copies of the game used on one console. One Nintendo Switch and one copy of the game is required for each unique island. Alternatively, up to eight people can play together on one island via local wireless or online play. Local wireless play requires one console and one copy of the software per player. Internet connection required during online play. To use online services, you must create a Nintendo Account and accept the related agreement. The Nintendo Account Privacy Policy applies. Some online services may not be available in all countries. Online play requires paid online membership.

It was confirmed to not be supported a long rear end time ago

This game is made by the Splatoon 2 devs so it's not out of left field but it's still loving baffling

Presumably it's the same logic as pokemon (they don't want duplicating items to be laughably trivial)

It's specifically disallowed to prevent save scumming. Wether or not you agree with preventing people from getting extra money or items in a (mostly) single player game is worth not allowing the convenience of cloud saves is a worthy discussion, but it's not because the devs are too stupid to figure out how.

Disabling key features of Nintendo's online service specifically for the games where losing a save is the most devastating (Splatoon, Pokemon, Animal Crossing) is beyond stupid, so disagree

Well unless your Switch is stolen or broken beyond repair it's a non-issue so it likely won't effect you in any way.

I said gently caress it and ordered it off of Best Buy. Will change to Amazon if I manage to catch it on time since I have a gift card there I used to preorder the game a few months ago.
