Nintendo. Oh, Nintendo. No. this isn't about the Pro Switch that never was. This is about their shitty way of updating some of their games. Animal Crossing fans have apparently complained about there being nothing to do in New Horizons and honestly, I think I am in agreement with them. I had the game for barely a month and while I still haven't done stuff like fully upgrading my house or getting ramps on my island, I already feel kind of bored by the game. It's like "wake up, get fossils/bugs/fish for Blathers, sell non native fruit for profit, find glowy hole and bury 10,000 bells for profit, hit rocks, rinse and repeat." Outside of whatever events the game has scheduled, it feels like you only play the game for an hour then stop. I know that's how the other Animal Crossing game kinda worked, but come on, after a decade or two, NIntendo should have stepped it up.

Now how does this tie in with NIntendo's crappy updates? I noticed other games have gotten similar treatment. Mario Tennis Aces started out the same way; barebones at the start, not much variety in what to do, quit playing after sometime. Nintendo slowly rolled out content updates like new characters and new modes, but by then I was already done with the game and had no interest in playing again. Mario Golf: Super Rush is also getting the same complaints and that convinced me to not buy the game. I heard Splatoon also went through a similar phase, but I think that one sort of gets a pass since it was a brand new game and Nintendo had no idea if it would sell well. Plus Splatoon is where Nintendo started the whole "release now, update later." Fun fact: Final Fantasy XIV also did the "push out now, update/fix later" method and that (along with MANY other factors) killed the game, prompting for a reboot. Nintendo needs to stop making empty games and start making games that have a ton of content like Mario Kart 8 had.


In non video game rants, grammar! Or more specifically, words with contractions. All the damn time I keep seeing people using "you're" instead of "your" and "it's" instead of "its". So whenever someone uses the wrong one, I am literally going to read it exactly as they wrote it. So if someone goes "That's you're problem", I am going to say back to them "You are problem?" Or "It fell on it's own" has me reading it as "It fell on it is own." But the one thing that bugs me the most is "no one" being written as "noone". THAT'S NOT A FUCKING WORD! It sounds like a shitty name. I literally ask people who did this "Who is this noone you speak of?" and no one gives me an answer. Fucking hell, people love to give non English speakers shit while you're butchering your own language!
