    It’s underwhelming and there are better options, and it’ll sell like crazy because people are basic.

    Stock “news” is stupid, the Switch 2 announcement has been expected for a year. The only news is that the company confirmed it will launch this year, which was already expected. Real news is when we start hearing what games will be available at launch (or soon after).

      Will someone please think of the out-of-touch investors who do nothing but speculate and play with other people’s money?

      Yup. If there even WAS a measurable stock value drop (too lazy to check) it was not because the switch 2 basically had a “this is the 2025 version of a phone. It is slightly different. Buy it” ad.

      It was because the next major news will come in April. Which means it ain’t launching until May, at the earliest. Which means all the anticipation of a shadow drop of a console (because that would somehow be a thing…) is gone and the artificially increased value of the stock has diminished.

    sounds like a good time to use my mom’s now unused switch and buy a used Mario Maker 2 cartridge. Been watching YouTube videos about it and kinda wanna try.

    Ok so I tried to go onto the Facebook website to use Facebook marketplace to get a cartridge but apparently it got hacked somehow because it’s my email, but it’s not my name and it got banned in October LMAO
    Id have to upload photo proof of my face, so guess I’ll just keep not using Facebook.

    Looks like they’re ~30 bucks on eBay though.

      Why not just emulate and play your games for free?

        I looked into that. I’m wanting to play online levels and there’s no way as far as I know to do that with emulation :/
        I appreciate the recommendation though :)

          No problem.

          I’m not sure about Super Mario Maker, but there is online functionality built-in to Yuzu.

    Honestly I kinda liked the “chill” announcement. No overhyping themselves only to disappoint. Fans are plenty capable of doing that themselves.

    This is not big daddy N loosing a bunch of money, this is a market correction. People purchased shares 2 days ago expecting an announcement and the price has returned to normal

    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NTDOY/?guccounter=1

    The shares were at 15.56 and are now at 14.81.

    It is still up 2% over the past week, 6% over the last 6 months, an 8.5% over the last year, and a whopping 51% over the last 5 years.
