26d agoHow curious! Sadly Australia isn't invited, but I am very interested to hear what this is all about.
Let the speculation run wild until next week!

26d agoPrediction, although some games already do it, its game streaming (one of the worst case scenarios).
Streaming (only) of GC games on Switch.

26d agoI signed in right at 8 am PST and applied as fast as humanly possible. Sadly, I was told applications were no longer being accepted. Anyone know what it’s about yet?

26d agoI mistranslated the time to "New Jersey time 12" in my head and missed it by an hour. :(
I also missed out. But I had forgotten to watch the time, so I tried much later. I'm not sure even the applicants will know until a couple weeks from now.
I'll guess Rewind/Rollback Netcode for N64 games.
Switch 2 could obviously handle them, but then you have a lack of parity between Switch and Switch 2, so I'm guessing they've been working on it for a while.
