Inverse sat down with Doug Bowser to talk about the release of 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder,' the future of the Nintendo Switch, and the state of the industry.
They gonna fix sharing digital games with family members? Or do I have to keep cartridges around so my 4yo can pop them out and lose them?
Crazy to think that when I bought a lot of my digital games, I wouldn’t have expected a second kid who wants to play them on a separate switch. Now my saves are all fucked because he’s gotta play them on my profile on the second switch. I bought that switch because my wife and I both wanted to play ACNH, which was also bullshit. And then I got stuck with the Lite because we couldn’t migrate her island over, which was also bullshit.
There’s no reason we can’t share digital libraries with households. Amazon does it.
Sorry thought it was well-known enough without additional context (talking about switch in gaming community). I was going to mention this was 2020 for added context because ACNH launch was exceptionally huge because of Covid lockdowns.
Literally just a rant on Zero Punctuation about “AC” games - Assassin’s Creed, Animal Crossing, Armored Core, I forget the list. (Also Asheron’s Call I guess)
Sharing isn’t the problem. 4 year olds aren’t the most responsible or capable of keeping track of small objects.
I can’t tell you the places I’ve found Odyssey, and that’s his favorite game. And 3D All Stars is completely missing, which I’m still really upset about.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

ACNH means animal crossing, for anyone else reading this who didn’t know. Quite the acronym

This is Nintendo we’re talking about, doing common things that other tech companies do isn’t exactly their way of playing. Also, make your kids share!

I didn’t consider cartridge size as an issue, at least back in the day they were large enough that it was harder to lose them!
