Maybe not “always has been,” as at one point he said Trump would be “America’s Hitler.”
But unlike most of us who would probably not want to work for someone you personally think could be Hitler, he’s done the normal GOP thing and flipped right over for the game of it all.
Everyone is saying it’d be unsafe for tDS crew to be there, which may not be false.
But also what jokes can you tell at this point? It’s kind of a no win situation to tell some jokey news about the guy who almost got assassinated because then you are the “liberal media who doesn’t care” or whatever BS they’ll spin on you. Even if you turn around and show footage of Trump joking about Pelosi’s husband getting assaulted, it won’t matter to the people it needs to matter to because they aren’t watching tDS anyway. They’ll hear what trump’s group says and that’s it.
Ultimate is a top tier game, but I do see your concern with only being able to play handheld. I can personally play it handheld for a while and not feel too bad (by that I mean hand cramps), but it certainly does feel 100x better on a TV.
What I might ask is if you are planning on getting a Switch 2 next year. If so, we can reasonably assume the form factor will be about the same and you’ll get the TV access. Everything we’ve heard so far says Switch games will work with the Switch 2. So in the short term you may not be able to play with friends locally on the same screen, within the year we’ll have a new system and in the meantime get some good experience with the game with what you have now.
I do still play online, and there’s still a community there, so at least you’ll be able to play with other people that way.
That’s certainly a possibility. I just have this feeling that Nintendo doesn’t have any other games than what they showed us in this direct to fill up a whole extra year. Of course, that’s just a feeling.
And I feel like they may follow the Switch playbook where they show off the console in December - probably during the game awards or (ugh) on Jimmy Fallon like they did last time. Then launch in four to six months with Metroid.
If you look to the left of the screen it does look like there are 4 shortcut slots, one in this video taken up by the wand. My hope is that she gets some other items to use along with the wand. Zelda has always had bows, for example, so that'd fit right in.
They said the next big Zelda was going to be different than TotK/BotW style, so after getting some baseline skills/items/ideas that Zelda uses in this game, they could leverage that for the next big game where you can swap between the two.
I can’t even think of a GOP person who wants unions to be a thing.
