Don't worry my uncle works at Nintendo and says Shiggy is making a nonsensical control scheme just for you.

Oh, like this one? *hits SAguy with a shovel*

Outside of $80 games, I really think the internet has gone way overboard in blaming Nintendo for industry-wide pricing issues: Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, accessories, and online gaming subscription service are still the cheapest of the big three (and it’s not even close in some instances). I agree with and fully support consumers who are angry with Nintendo raising their prices; but I find it rather obnoxious to blame all subsequent price hikes from other game devs on Nintendo’s recent hike, especially when Nintendo has been the most price-fixed and economical option even still to this point. Price hikes have been rampant these past 5y…have we just completely forgotten this fact? It’s not like price hikes were invented b/c Nintendo. They simply jumped into the arena.

…The precursor to this tangent: I saw a post on Insta from IGN reporting how XBSXS prices were going up, and the comment section was filled with people saying “Nintendo did this.” Me, being a Nintendo fan, is punching air lol.

And now there's people losing their shit because of the Nintendo Switch 2 user agreement, which says Nintendo can brick the console IF YOU MOD OR HACK THE SYSTEM. It just feels like people who complain that they can't litter without being fined.

I don't know. And DK would have made a better first impression on Odd Rock if he didn't have an "I'm gonna getcha!!" look on his face.

Actually the Dualsense is $74.99 while the Switch 2 Pro Controller is $84.99

Also the Xbox Controller is technically the cheapest at $59.99

Still doesn't justify people shouting "This is all Nintendo's fault!!".

Because that's the native resolution for DK Bananza, 240p before upscaling.

Jokes aside, seems like it is an aspect ratio error from uploading it directly from the Nintendo Today video.

ig i was thinking more of the premium controllers…though that’s a bit of an unfair comparison on my part. Yeah idk why Nintendo is so stingy with their accessories.
