I'm not sure which epilogue you're referring to but each level / screen gets its own unique music :)

I really hope Nintendo stands their ground and sets a responsible price in reflection to the tariffs.
I'd be willing to pay more just so Nintendo doesn't have to absorb the costs because our president is a moron. If they cave in, it just sets a bad precedent and is dangerous for businesses.

I would love to see the camera button become a "magic" button.
Need to turn on the (smart) light switch from across the room? Look at it and press the magic button.
See a QR code? Press the button, look at your phone.
Want to connect with someone? You both look at each other and press the button

I hope that the display is more of a few predefined visuals (e.g. an outline to show the framing of the shot) that can be turned on/off than a full-on display. Otherwise, the tech isn't quite there yet, and it'll probably just drain the battery before it becomes useful.

That was Microsoft's founding date, so I'm assuming it's an Easter egg/reference

I've been developing HTML games since around 2010 (see brianpoole.dev) and couldn't agree more.
Really the biggest downfall is finding a way to monetize. There are games, like Crosscode, which just use a wrapper for each platform and get the best of both worlds.

I hired a bloodhound to find my cat when he went missing for 3 weeks. It was a success!
Your situation seems to be slightly different but still, I wonder if it could provide some clues?
