They were probably like, “Finally, I can go to a company that doesn’t force me to use a Dell.”

Does anyone know if the coop can be played “locally” from switch to switch or is it only online?
I have a flight coming up with some friends, and it’d sure be cool to just play this on the plane with them.
That’s certainly a possibility. I just have this feeling that Nintendo doesn’t have any other games than what they showed us in this direct to fill up a whole extra year. Of course, that’s just a feeling.
And I feel like they may follow the Switch playbook where they show off the console in December - probably during the game awards or (ugh) on Jimmy Fallon like they did last time. Then launch in four to six months with Metroid.
If you look to the left of the screen it does look like there are 4 shortcut slots, one in this video taken up by the wand. My hope is that she gets some other items to use along with the wand. Zelda has always had bows, for example, so that’d fit right in.
I had a very similar thought myself.
They said the next big Zelda was going to be different than TotK/BotW style, so after getting some baseline skills/items/ideas that Zelda uses in this game, they could leverage that for the next big game where you can swap between the two.
It’d just be cool to play as Zelda in 3D.
Wait, you mean the girl with the wand is not Link?
The Legend of Link
By saying just “2025” this solidifies in my mind that this will be the cross gen game that launches with the Switch 2 around April or May or whatever.
I still have an iPhone 4 in a drawer and it’s totally flat on the back. Still looks really cool.
Apple: “Our new chips are more efficient so we can make devices thinner with a smaller battery and still get 10 hours of battery!”
Everyone: “Or just keep them the same and use a bigger battery to get, like 15-20 hours of battery?”
Apple: “NO.”
I need to preorder this this weekend.
Lots of updates coming to the ios calculator with ios18. They obviously focused on the ipad version because it has the written math notes stuff, but a lot of those features are coming to the iphone, too.

The current calculator has had a lot more options if you turn the phone sideways, but no one ever does that. Personally, I’m a pCalc guy.
RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.
Yeah, I agree with this take, though I did see an article that quoted Tim as saying they wouldn’t be able to totally get rid of hallucinations, so I’m still a little reserved on it all.
The biggest thing in the last couple of weeks is Microsoft showing off the half baked Recall “feature” that let your computer take photos of basically everything you do. The idea that you could search for something you did in the past using normal language is interesting, but the implementation was terrible. So that’s a big strike against MS, so much so they now are recalling the beta release of that. MS doesn’t have a good track record with things that are supposed to be local that somehow end up not local; I believe there was a big issue on xbox where local screenshots were still being monitored by the cloud somewhere. MS also loves shoving ads down your throat and turning back on features you have explicitly turned off. There’s no trust.
Apple certainly has their own issues, but as others have said, they have at least outwardly been a privacy first company, at least in marketing materials. They were one of the first to build in “secure enclaves” into phones and PCs so biometrics couldn’t get off of your device, for example. There’s a bit of a history, earned or otherwise, that Apple isn’t doing bad things with your data, so when they say their AI junk is private it’s easier to swallow.
That said, I still have yet to find a use for any of this AI junk across all platforms. I wish it all just stayed in the realm of intelligently making your photos a little sharper or whatever and not hallucinating things out of whole cloth. I’m actually happy my iPhone isn’t new enough to take advantage of this new stuff.
That’s fair.
Hopefully there’s a toggle to turn it off.
At least Apple isn’t taking a screenshot of your device every three seconds and saving it in plain text.
Just let it understand the word “and” and I’ll be happy.
I’ve been trying to get my parents to use a password manager for years now. They have a piece of paper with a bunch of passwords on that’s one coffee spill away from a disaster.
I’ve tried getting them to use Bitwarden or any other simple manager, but nothing has stuck.
A “default” one from Apple, might, though. They are more amenable to stuff “built in” (that will also not be hidden down in some settings menus like how the current iOS passwords are stored.) So bring it on.
Ultimate is a top tier game, but I do see your concern with only being able to play handheld. I can personally play it handheld for a while and not feel too bad (by that I mean hand cramps), but it certainly does feel 100x better on a TV.
What I might ask is if you are planning on getting a Switch 2 next year. If so, we can reasonably assume the form factor will be about the same and you’ll get the TV access. Everything we’ve heard so far says Switch games will work with the Switch 2. So in the short term you may not be able to play with friends locally on the same screen, within the year we’ll have a new system and in the meantime get some good experience with the game with what you have now.
I do still play online, and there’s still a community there, so at least you’ll be able to play with other people that way.
