Someone floated to me the idea that the Switch could theoretically have a folding screen, so it could be folded in half and the controllers mounted sideways so it becomes a chunky 3DS. Maybe the Switch 3-5, whenever folding screens get cheap enough?

Please no. That would be a power drain of epic proportions if it had to run two screens at once. Switch 2 is already gonna be chunky, I don't want the form factor even worse.

In my personal gaming news, played/read more Witch on the Holy Night yesterday last night. Gorgeous VN, great voice acting, and really built for the Switch. With earbuds in, it's a nice pleasant read before bed. And as the Tsukihime prequel, it does a really good job enveloping you in the world, especially with its borderline autistic attention to detail, both in the art and the script. The Switch screen, while 720p, at least on the OLED, brings out the color and sharp lines beautifully. Fully recommended if you like VN's and want one on the go

Would destroy the ability to Switch unless it was super long to somehow have a rectangular screen while still folding. Neat idea, though.
 
whatever I feel like said:
Wasn't Metal Gear Acid a card-based game? I'd take the Mario 64 port with the new stars and playable characters.

Maybe if the controls were better. Acid is pretty good though.

That'd be a perfect Nintendo style gimmick, if they could get it right.

It would be neat.
Take the Switch Lite, give it a flexible screen and put a hinge in the middle so it folds in half, and make the side controllers detachable so they can be attacched in the portrait orientation. That would be perfect for playing 3DS style games.
But the closest equivalent is a folding phone, and I think the cheaper ones are still $1200 devices. Nobody will want to have two screens with a seam down the middle when playing games on landscape mode, so it needs the flexible screen.
I'd expect it 2-3 generations from now, by the time the Switch2 starts to be a little dated the cost of the needed components should be cheap enough.

But I wonder why it's that price, if it's actually that expensive to have such a screen, or if other factors are at play there.

Acid is a turn based strategy game, it kinda plays like an SRPG but without levels. The cards give the gameplay a lot more variety and means of growing your skills by getting more cards. The result is actually really cool.

Mario 64 DS is a worse version of Mario 64 with dpad controls.

Tsukihime and Witch are abnormally huge in size digitally, around 20GB each, for visual novels (which don't go over 8GB on Switch outside of compilations) and it's why I would plan to import them as JP physicals at some point. Probably not before next year as this current last trimester is still quite packed on Switch releases.

There's a reason for that for witch at least: very little art is reused. They will make a entire background for one scene and toss it. It's autistic how detailed it is. Hense the file size

They changed the cover art for the Peach game to be more in line with movie Peach, lol

oh god, that centerpiece expression looks horrifying in the edit
I get that they have to make her look strong and independent lest they lose their precious DEI money, but couldn't they have chosen any other expression? This one looks downright sinister...

That actually makes a lot of sense. Witch of the Holy night is Nasus real first baby from high school and since hes a millionaire with top connections to japans creative scene, he can afford that and be forgiven.

It looks like they photoshopped the movie character's face in with very little regard for how her head angle would change. The expression change they did for the kung fu version is better because it still looks like game Peach, only with the cartoony expression pushing they're doing in Mario Wonder.

Personally I think it's because the last time they did a Peach game, Super Princess Peach was hard to sell. Not only did it get "lol it's a game for girls", on the other side it caught shit for having a main mechanic that got accused of being about how the silly wimminz can't control their emotions. But since the movie was so successful, they probably thought slapping Girlboss Peach on the cover was the way to go to avoid that.
 
Nintendo released system firmware 17.0 yesterday with no changes at all other than 'stability', a major version with no changes is strange but what is most likely happening is that they released the required update for Mario Wonder at the same time they are starting to ship out physical copies, so that when it inevitably gets leaked it will be unplayable because it requires the latest firmware and Atmosphere has been broken by the firmware update. I doubt this will actually be effective in anything since people know how to downpatch games to work on lower firmware, and Atmosphere gets updated pretty quick.

I can’t remember the last time a major version of any Nintendo console, let alone Switch, had any changes. Maybe a minor QoL improvement or new profile pictures, but that’s it.

Usually Switch updates change or add something, even if its just a list of patch note fixes, but this was just the old 'stability improvements' that the 3ds got whenever they tried to kill modding for a bit, and it was a major version increment, usually this sort of thing would be 16.1 instead.
