Tell them that if they can successfully change the party from the inside, then maybe the dress code can be reconsidered. But until that change happens, don't wear a hat that represents someone who wants to persecute LGBTQ+ into a LGBTQ+ space.

If it's not a big deal, why were you insisting it was the end of the world when Hillary did it?

Glad to hear Tsunku's back.

Wish they could've gone with someone who hasn't been paying hush money to silence sexual assault allegations.

Thinking about it more though, perhaps they do have something big enough to justify a separate Switch 1 Direct a week before the Switch 2 Direct. The question is, what could it be, what's the biggest thing they wouldn't save for Switch 2?

• Last we heard, Prime 4 is still a Switch 1 game, though it really ought to be cross-gen at this point. I'm sure it'll be in either tomorrow's Direct or next week's. The fact that there is a Direct tomorrow means I'm leaning towards this being the heavy hitter that justifies having a Switch 1 Direct. If it's not though, we could see Prime 2/3 tomorrow and 4 next week.

• Galaxy 2 seems like an obvious pick, people have been wondering where it is ever since it wasn't in 3D All Stars. It's too much of a safe pick to be the headliner though.

• I'm hoping we see some cult classic brought back, something that will get a few people really really excited. F-Zero GX immediately comes to mind. But also, after they teased us with 99, we need a new F-Zero more than we need a remaster.
  Mother 3 would break the internet, if it were to ever happen this would be the time to do it, but we all know it's never happening. Mother 3 is purely a meme.
  But off the top of my head I can't think of what other cult hits would be a big deal right now.

• Thinking in terms of what studios we haven't heard from in a while, HAL and Intelligent Systems. There's surely something Kirby and something Fire Emblem in the works, and those could be late Switch titles rather than Switch 2 titles.

• Third parties, I'm gonna stake my bet that we'll see Chrono Trigger. SE recently teased that they have multiple projects in the works, and CT remains conspicuously absent from Switch still. It's also not something they'd need to save for Switch 2. So tomorrow is the most logical time to reveal it.

• Silksong isn't real. It's a collective fever dream we all hallucinated. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Come to Mbin. The great thing about ActivityPub is that we don't even need Lemmy itself.

I only purchase native titles, because native support means support.

Ideally you should be writing your code to be as portable as possible, in an engine that offers top-notch cross-platform support.

It's meant to be the distant future after the events of Space Jam.

Don't expect anything too big, they'll save the heavy hitters for Switch 2. Ports and remasters are the typical filler for the end of a console's lifespan.

Ah, my mistake, sorry for liking my favorite game I guess.

Are they saying third-parties don't even have devkits yet? That's a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

I'd also add Mario 64's use of a controllable third person camera - all the games @Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world mentioned are first person, and I don't think movement in those types of games is at all comparable. The camera was the key point to making a 3D platformer even possible at all, and it immediately became vital to many other genres too.

I know that by today's standards that camera is known for being rather antiquated, but it was revolutionary for its time. One detail I think deserves more credit is how they tried to anthropomorphize the camera as Lakitu to introduce it to players.
