▶ Switch eShop is worse than ever Good Vibes Gaming // YouTube Unpacking a bigger problem — Thoughts on the mess of the eShop: ” As Nintendo transitions into its next generation, its digital ecosystem is absolutely not something that should get stuck in the past “. Edmond Tran // Skill Up Nintendo needs to let us block the crap on Switch 2’s eShop Gavin Lane // Nintendo Life Can Sony and Microsoft really compete with Nintendo in a new ‘handheld war’? — Both Microsoft and Sony are making noise about handheld hardware.

Tom Phillips // Eurogamer The Nintendo Museum is better than I thought – in fact, the worst thing about it is probably the name — ” the museum is very much a Nintendo-like solution to the idea of this kind of attraction “. A ‘Nintendo-like solution’ is an Iwata turn of phrase that’s seemingly well suited to this museum experience.
