I saw the trailer on YouTube. Between the color palette and art style, the thing looks completely unplayable. But damnit if I don't love the way it looks. I hope they can tweak a few things so the sprites don't look so washed out.

Re: Nintendo General Thread
That's hilarious!
It's just missing the classic film strip sound, and complete silence apart from that sound.
If they wanted to, I would permit them to have a car from the 1920's with an ahooga horn to accurately depict 2013.
2013 is no different to 1913 for kids born in 2014.

A deep dive into the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak - an addon device that added force feedback vibration to the player. in 1997 this was the very first rumble device introduced into video games. In today's episode we look closely at the Rumble Pak and even build a homebrew application to test its features. Please Enjoy!

Nintendo Switch 2 Will Be A "Conservative Hardware Evolution"; To Feature Full Backward Compatibility, 1080p Screen
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be a conservative hardware evolution over the original model, according to a recent report from a Chinese peripheral manufacturer.
In a Facebook post shared earlier this week, which has since been edited, Chinese manufacturer Mobapad revealed some additional information on the next console by Nintendo. The console, according to the report, will support both the current Pro Controller and Joy-Con controllers as well as HD rumble (ALPS dual-axis linear motor), but the size of the new Joy-Con motor will be smaller. While the current Joy-Con controllers will be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, it won't be possible to attach them to the console in handheld mode due to a new horizontal magnetic docking system, which will only support the new version of the controllers.
Regarding backward compatibility, Mobapad revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be fully backward compatible with both physical and digital versions of the original Switch games. The new console will also retain the USB-C port for docking, which will be compatible with a new generation of docks featuring minor design improvements, such as a metal bracket for improved angle adjustments. As previously rumored, the console's screen will be slightly bigger than that of the original console and support 1080p resolution.
At the end of the day, Mobapad thinks that the Nintendo Switch 2 is a conservative evolution in hardware, resembling a Pro version of the original console rather than a complete revolution, which isn't a bad thing at all, as it will retain compatibility with everything Switch while promising an enhanced gaming experience.
While we must take the new Nintendo Switch 2 from Mobapad with a grain of salt, it is interesting to note how this report surfaced online earlier than yesterday's report from Spanish publication Vandal. With multiple manufacturers now possessing information regarding the console, its reveal is surely not too far off in the future.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be officially revealed. It is rumored to launch later this year, although some reports say it could slip to early 2025.
