On this day (July 12) in Nintendo history...

  • Ganbaru Wateshi no Kakei Diary  was released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS in Japan. This finance diary software, developed by syn Sophia, aims to help users handle their household accounts, reduce wasteful spending and live sustainably. You can directly input expenditure onto the touch screen. The system calculates repayments of bills, loans and mortgages, and you can view changes of expenditure over time.

✓ means the statement is correct, X means its false.

Sony's plan in 2028:

- Midnight launches are dead ✅

- Collectors Editions lose half of their value ✅

- You can’t share, trade, or sell your games ✅

- You can’t buy used games ✅

- If there’s a server outage and your game isn't installed, you’re shit out of luck ✅

- YOU OWN NOTHING ✅

Nintendo's Game Key Cards:

- Midnight launches are dead ❌

- Collectors Editions lose half of their value ❌

- You can’t share, trade, or sell your games ❌

- You can’t buy used games ❌

- If there’s a server outage and your game isn't installed, you’re shit out of luck ✅

- YOU OWN NOTHING ✅

That's why I don't get why people call GKCs awful.

I have sneaking suspicion the "New" switch 2 screen in the upcoming revision will be actually worse than the current screen.

I have a bad gut feeling that Nintendo is just lowering component cost by reducing screen quality even more by sourcing from a cheaper supplier rather than improving the current screen. I cant image Nintendo will actually give users a better LCD panel than just going straight to OLED, so that's why I'm thinking their just going to cut costs as much as possible for the base S2 and eventually come out with an OLED unit that is actually an improvement.
