[Splatoon 3] In 9.0.0, Nintendo removed Jackpot's player characters from the World Championship banner. It now matches the sample design (shown below), which depicts Stephanie, AnemoneNo1, YARRwhal, and VeronIKA. These are Nintendo-made characters used in promotional material.

tukiyomi, from Phantom Thief: "looking back, I wonder if we could've performed better if we had more time to practice.... it felt like the positioning we played up until now in Turf War fell apart because we had little practice with Ranked gamemodes"

seems JP fans are concerned about reputational damage to Splatoon, Nintendo, and video games in general I saw at least one claim that said their parent took away Splatoon 3 from their sibling because they saw this + concluded it's "dangerous" who knows if that's true though

the jellyfish in Splatoon are known as "Jerry" internally because of the classic L/R mix up ever since I found that out I've always called them Jerries

1.5 billion eggs reached at around 22:45 UTC we're currently in a slump period, so I doubt it's going to get much better than this unless we put in some serious effort (data points past 1 billion provided by ashbinary_, Coxxs, and InternalLoss)

I really dislike when people call dev teams "lazy" for releasing something poor if anything, you should be blaming the higher ups for making decisions that allowed the product to get into such a state most of the team are just trying to do the best that they can

things that irrationally annoy me: competitive Splatoon players calling the act of covering walls and floors in ink "painting" Splatoon doesn't have paint - it has ink, damn it if anything, the term should be "inking"

if Twitter wants to be a serious video platform, the experience needs to be better probably my biggest issue is that for the first 15 seconds of every video, the player plays a low quality version with terrible muffled audio oh, and the random loading errors... gotta love those

prediction: Switch 2 will have back compat the Switch 2 will almost certainly have ARM CPU + NVIDIA GPU (+ prob Horizon OS) again, so it'll be much easier unlike Switch -> Wii U I see no technical reason for N to not add it this time (well, greed, but that's not technical)

if this suit goes to trial, it will be a watershed moment for the emulation community as far as I'm aware, this is the first direct attack by a major gaming company on emulation since Sony v. Bleem in 2000(!)

[Yuzu] Nintendo is suing the developers of the Switch emulator Yuzu. They allege that the Yuzu developers willingly facilitate and profit on piracy of Switch games (via Patreon), specifically pointing to Yuzu being used to play leaked copies of TotK before its release date.

Splatoon 3 was a gigantic missed opportunity for Nintendo to make improvements to the netcode while we did get NPLN out of it (which is an improvement, don't get me wrong), they could've gone much further Splatoon is not the type of game that should be running on P2P netcode!

I would not have blamed Nintendo if they decided to just shut everything down rather than invest the time + money into this which, to be fair, is what they're likely going to do if another vuln is found

the fact that Nintendo has no big blockbuster titles (that are not remakes, ports, or spin-offs) lined up for 2024 kinda implies to me that the Switch is being wound down all the good shit is being saved for the next generation's launch year guess we'll see what happens in Feb

reading Japanese can be really something because JP people abbreviate *everything* tbh it's understandable, a lot of foreign import words are really long lol a recent example that stumped me for a bit: ラピエリ (rapieli) -> Rブラスターエリート (Rapid Blaster Elite)

when Nintendo names a game or console in marketing, they almost always refer to them like: "the ___ game" "the ___ system" example: "the Splatoon 3 game for the Nintendo Switch system" I don't remember who pointed this out to me, but I haven't been able to unsee it ever since
