Pringles and Coke?

If you preordered from Walmart, they gave you a bottle of Coke and a can of Pringles.

I don't drink sodas ever since kidney stones became a thing with me. So I gave it to a coworker. I kept the Pringles.

That said, maybe if Nintendo hadn't kept everything out of public hands until midnight last night, maybe they would have had some idea of how they were packaged and that could have been avoided.

People ought to know that you should never open-staple anything except a corkboard unless there's something solid under it. That's why the "trigger" in an office stapler is on the underside; you're supposed to press it against the solid thing or the stapler's metal base. In this case the "something solid" could only have possibly been the console itself.

Like, seriously, just hand the receipt to the customer. Why is this even a thing?

Modern Vintage Gamer took a look at Switch 2 backwards compatibility:

tl;dr-
If a game is memory or GPU bound, performance is generally greatly improved. While the game won't exceed it's set FPS or designed resolution, this can GREATLY improve games that suffered inconsistent frame rates. Games like Bayonetta 3 and Borderlands 3 run 60fps, while Doom 16 and Batman Arkham Knight hit stable 30 fps.

Games CPU bound (Dragon Quest Builders 2 featured, but simulation games like Cities Skylines or Civilization 6 probably also) are not going to see THAT much an uplift since the actual CPU clocks are fairly similar between the systems. That said, the improvements in other areas DO seem to allow for better overall performance in most situations.

And since Micro SD Express is a newer, faster, storage medium, load times are generally improved for older titles.

What it sounds like is that the game itself hasn't changed at all. It's just that now it's running on something that can run it right?
