8) Mario Kart World 🏁

Obviously, still a lot to do here. I love the new courses and Knockout mode is brilliant. Haven't done too much in Free Roam yet. Rainbow Road was AWESOME!

Had a good time with the Outlanders #NintendoSwitch demo today. Didn't realise it was an old game, but it has a nice Settlers feel to it.

However, the choice to have rotation as left/right and zoom as up/down on the same joystick is *baffling* - nearly ruins the whole thing.

Any site that doesn't have video pop-overs, cookies-or-pay bollocks, or more ads than text gets my vote. Shout out to the people trying to deenshittify the internet.

It turns out you CAN'T sue someone for 'mocking your company' by pointing out flaws in your product...

10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea.
It’s still legal to pick locks, even when you swing your legs.

Nine years ago, Nintendo revealed the Switch for the very first time — and I also launched a small side project called Switch Weekly.

Now, after nearly a decade of curating the best Nintendo stories every week, it’s time for a change! 😊

Nintendo just uploaded ANOTHER version of the Close to You video. I *think* it's just the previous two ones joined together, with a bit of text in-between, but it's starting to get difficult to keep track...

After 9 years, I'm renaming my Nintendo newsletter.

Switch Weekly becomes Hanafuda Report this Sunday.

Same human curation of the best Nintendo links, commentary from me, plus what new games are worth playing.

First issue under the new name lands Oct 26.
New site goes live then too!

More soon. 👋

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.
Screenshot of David Simon interview SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
