Nintendo Switch 2 mouse controls haven't had a major breakthrough in 1 full year

When Nintendo first announced that each Switch 2 Joy-con could function like a computer mouse , I was an immediate skeptic. It was a sensible concept, but I had no faith that developers would adopt the novel control scheme beyond first-person shooters. After all, I’d been burned before by the original Switch’s rarely used IR sensors. I figured that we’d see a few games out the gate that used mouse controls in clever ways, but very few that dared to experiment with the controls after that. source https://www.polygon.com/switch-2-mouse-controls-one-year-later/

All Nintendo Switch 2 first-party games, ranked from worst to best

Now’s as good a time as any to zoom out and take a big-picture look at Switch 2’s first year library. What we found when ranking all 12 games is that there are hardly any duds in the bunch. Aside from two glorified tech demos, just about everything we’ve gotten from Nintendo in the past year has been some degree of fun. That makes it hard to put a list together without stirring some disagreement, but know that even some of the lower-ranking games on our list are still pretty darn enjoyable. source https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2-games-launch-year-ranked/

The Nintendo Switch 2 price seemed too expensive until it really didn't

Nintendo said it had accounted for the impact of tariffs with the Switch 2's initial sticker price of $450 (although, a few weeks later, it was forced to increase the cost of some accessories ). Everyone complained anyway. At $450, the Switch 2 was a whole 50% more than the Switch had been at launch, and similarly priced to the base model of PlayStation 5. Even adjusted for inflation, it was Nintendo's most expensive console ever . source https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2-price-analysis-one-year-on/

Rachel Sennott's breakout comedy-thriller Shiva Baby is leaving Netflix soon

Rachel Sennott’s distinctive talents have painted her as one of the most promising young comedians in Hollywood. Sennott’s knack for razor-sharp satirical comedy is distilled in Bottoms (2023), which she co-wrote alongside director Emma Seligman, but can be traced back to her 2020 web series Ayo and Rachel are Single , which is a fun, bite-sized comic installment with Bottoms co-star Ayo Edebiri . source https://www.polygon.com/shiva-baby-leaving-netflix/
