The fact is sex sells. It always has, it always will. Publishers that have forgotten this fact will learn the hard way.

Nuff' said. Related, this has definitely been a weird year for gaming and yet I also see a lot of the good in it so far. Awesome remake city with Dead Space, RE4, now System Shock for me... Tears of the Kingdom was incredible... Armored Core 6 looks top notch. Some other stuff I want later on. It is looking more jam packed than other recent years. Yet I felt like I didn't care about 80% of this Summer Games Fest or most new announcements dropping. So it's a bit strange.

They made a Punch-Out for the Wii and none of y'all played it, lol.
That's one of the cringiest videos I've ever seen, though. Those goofy ass people, the horsehead host... what the fuck is all this? Their party looks like something you see in a horror movie, right before you realize there's something very wrong going on. Like maybe the host is going to announce that it's time for the baby buffet, and everybody's going to be even more excited.
It's all so weird and lame that I'm still not sure what they're selling or announcing. You can use your cellphone as a Switch controller? Why? Or I guess it's a mini-games collection?

Hey, I did my part. I have Punch-Out!! on Wii, and got the title, at any rate. But not the title defense, that mess got tough.

I heard talk that Everybody 1-2 Switch had awful playtesting, kids getting bored merely seconds in, etc. Guess they just went too far on the money spent/production of this one, they're dumping it out there just to be done with it. lol Remember the ice cube tech in the first one? Boy that gimmick got used about as much as the PS2's sensitive face button press tech... ~1-2 games max?

Oh, and as far as the phones and stuff, they may be looking at doing something like the Jackbox games. They're good for parties and such - I did a fun one last summer at a big gathering I went to.
The horse head thing was... a thing for a while. I'll admit, I don't get it.

I find it amusing that Nintendo's marketing department thinks this demographic actually exists for them: And if it does, will be happy to play Switch games with their phones, instead of playing phone games with their phones. The idea of using a mobile device to play console video games was already proven a bad idea. Ask Supermassive Games about that.

The 2005 hipster demographic, well known for their love of party game shovelware.
