Brexit was actually a very good thing. If you’re a multimillionaire owner of a multinational business, or looking to short the pound, or any number of things that are only available to the rich. Shite for the rest of us though.

I agree. The Wii U was great fun. The second screen was great for off-TV play and for local multiplayer.

Not only was it terribly marketed, but Nintendo had trouble getting the 3DS to sell and put all their energy into saving that. This left the Wii U with a lack of games at launch.

Combine that with EA dropping Nintendo because they refused to adopt Origin as their online platform, and it was doomed from the start, whether the hardware was good or not.

Edit: and the gamepad was more comfortable to hold than the Switch, ironically.

Microsoft were monopoly seeking/abusing pricks in the 80s/90s/00s but I had just about started to accept that maybe they had changed. Accepting open source and open standards, and competing on their merits in the gaming world.

I like the “20 year rule”. So, in this case, not quite yet. :)

I have found my people.

They’re velcro-backed.

Good luck getting the ignorant masses to mask up these days.

Like a lot of seafood then.
