Doesn't this run counter to EU's rule that all small electronic devices - which the Switch 2 falls under - need to have USB-C chargers? In the sense that even though the plug is USB-C shaped, it's not compliant to the standard?

I hate that I'm probably going to buy this for that Donkey Kong game 🫤

    It is what it is. I had already accepted that I would probably buy it if/when Mario Odyssey 2 comes out, but then I saw the Nintendo Direct for the Donkey Kong game and it looks fucking dope. I think it's the same team that did Mario Odyssey.

    First party Nintendo games are really the only reason to own a Nintendo console anymore imo, and I could not care less about Pokemon and shit... But I'm a sucker for a good Mario game. The DK game looks like it's on the scale of a Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild.

    You do you, but I refuse to support a developer that routinely shits on any project their fans make and stifles emulation for consoles / games that they never plan to sell. Not to mention problems with their hardware and pricing.

    In this day and age there are tons of amazing games in every genre, how much are you really missing out on by not playing Nintendo games?
