New Nintendo Switch 2 Model With Upgrade Officially Confirmed

by

Back in January, a listing on Nintendo’s website hinted at a different version of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. A new product code, “OSM,” appeared alongside the standard Switch 2’s code (“BEE”), leading some fans to believe a “Lite” or “OLED” model was on the way. However, it seems Nintendo was actually developing this version to meet European regulations. These regulations require the Switch 2 to have a removable and replaceable battery, a feature not included in the initial launch model. It’s currently unknown when this change will take effect, or why it’s more cost-effective for Nintendo to create a separate version just for Europe. It’s possible Nintendo may eventually roll out this version globally.

With a tone both firm and genteel, they urged the Bank of England (BoE) to revisit certain aspects of their proposed rules, where the balance between fostering innovation and mitigating risk appears, in their wise estimation, somewhat awry.

Web3 Games: Fun First, Crypto Later – Tina Fey’s Take

by

Here’s the deal: Ubisoft froze the crypto wallet layer of its Champions Tactics project faster than I freeze when someone asks me to improv. They’re now porting inventories into a Web2 build because, surprise, players care about fun and polish, not blockchain buzzwords. Meanwhile, crypto investors are still throwing money at infrastructure like it’s a Mean Girls burn book. So, what’s a Web3 dev to do? Focus on gameplay, not speculation. (And maybe take a page from my book: Bossypants for game devs.)
