The earnings report should drop at 1:30am EST due to the clock change as Japan does not do daylight savings time. If the clocks didn't change it would drop at 2:30am EST. I will try to stay up to post the breakdown article on the shipment figures, but any adjustments will likely need to wait until at least tomorrow.

Also, I just got done playing the Age of Imprisonment demo at a local Best Buy. As a massive TotK/BotW fan, the presentation alone being done in a TotK/BotW fashion was like candy for me!

It’s a very satisfying and straight-forward gameplay loop. I’ve never played any of these Warriors titles, but I left the demo longing for more time. My only hesitation now is whether they expand upon or alter the canon established in TotK: if it’s altered, then m not interested. If it’s an expansion, then I will purchase this game at a later date 100%.

Nice, how was performance?

Would you like me to take it so you can get some rest?


I'm in Australia so it's up at like 6pm here.

Feel free to post the thread. Though, it isn't that much later than when I normally head to bed.

Game ran at a buttery smooth 60fps in handheld. Big upgrade from docked TotK on NS1. Cutscenes were supposedly running at 30fps? Though they looked perfectly fine to me.

I should be able to, it's 2 hours from now, right? I should be done with cooking dinner in around 2 and a half.

Wonder what the hardware and software sales updates are going to be for this Earnings Release?

Nintendo Switch 2:
- The numbers for its first full Quarter + Where the LTD stand now.
- Donkey Kong Bananza sales figures
- Mario Kart World sales figures

Nintendo Switch 1:
- Has it finally surpassed the Nintendo DS? It needs 920k to tie; 930k to pass. Last quarter it shipped 980k. However, this is the first full quarter where its successor is out and based on VGC estimates, sales have slowed. It is entirely possible that Switch 1 isn't quite there yet. If it hasn't passed it by this update, it will undoubtably do so in the next one.

Out of curiosity how many people here still buy all their games physically? I myself have been all digital since covid. The last physically game I bought was Luigi's Mansion 3.

I strongly prefer physical having been gaming since the nes, but find key cards useless so have been getting more digital this generation

I bought almost all my Switch 1 game physically, except when either (a) physical wasn't an option, or (b) physical came out months later and I didn't want to wait.

On Switch 2, I buy physically when it's a proper game card.
