Quite clearly, for Switch 1 users, it looks like Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics could be Labo VR compatible when I compare the cardboard version
I'm just curious about how it can manage between Switch 1 and Switch 1 OLED model because it's definitely not the same screen size

Android appears to have just announced plans to lock down like iPhone. No more writing software, not even on devices you own, without getting permission from Google first. In other words, an Android device will no longer be a device you "own".

I don’t know how to say this nicely, but no one should take that YouTube video about Switch 2 devkit access and DLSS version seriously. The source article is most likely AI generated. A thread:

When a Switch 2 Game supports GameShare, you can join the game even with a regular Switch. How cool!
Shit you were faster
but yep, read through that today. Some nice tidbits are there that news haven't reported on yet, like the fact that with game share supported games, you can play Switch 2 games on switch 1 :D Or that Switch 1 games might run with slightly more FPS!

Can Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games still be played on the Nintendo Switch without the enhancements? This image makes me think so, but on the other hand, it states, 'Features and content of a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game can only be played on Nintendo Switch 2.' Why mention 'features and content'?

Metroid looks awesome. Even though I have never played any Metroid Prime games, I'm very intrigued. I love the graphics, visual style, and the psychic theme.

I think the virtual game cards are just another attempt to push people toward digital. It's good for those who benefit, of course, but I don't like the headlines that claim its 'just like physical game cards.'

It's North America's time for 30 years of #DonkeyKongCountry This was the only box I did solo... Holding the bananas like that, Donkey doesn't realize the rest of the bunch will snap off leaving him holding 1 banana. Amateur.
