Interesting video on game consoles last month ago-ish.

    Honestly, if I was really into AC still I’d be ok paying for the work of some devs of a five year old game if it made some good quality of life upgrades.

      Ironically, the best parts of the Animal Crossing 3.0 update are free. The hotel, which is based on the Happy Home Paradise DLC (which is $25), is free. The bonus features are mostly free. The ones locked behind the $5 Switch 2 Edition upgrade mostly require Switch 2 hardware, like mouse control, higher resolution, and the party/multiplayer bonuses. And being able to call villagers by name. I though the Switch 1 had a mic, too, but I’m not sure. Maybe it does and that feature will be available on both Switches, but the video made it seem like it would just be for the Switch 2.

        Switch OG doesn’t have a mic and that’s the reason they included the phone app. There were a fair number of aftermarket accessories that had mics though but I can’t say any of them were implemented to use first party games.
