I dunno, I feel like there should be much more themed Switch consoles than there actually are.

Back when I got my 3DS Nintendo announced the New 3DS a month after. As a matter of fact, when I got my Xbox 360 back in the day Microsoft announced the Slime version not soon after. And when I got my One they announced the One X. At this point I've just accepted that I'm cursed. 

Inferior or not, they still work for the same games.

Probably, but it might be the second one... could have an indoor outdoor transition.

We can also see Rooftop Run 3 in there (its the sky road we were expecting) and it looks like there is a lot of two other stages in there as well.

Also, I think this is the first time we've been allowed to see a mix match team of racers.

Here we got an All technique team of Rouge Silver and Chao.

Although i wish they used the long haircut for Carol, can't stand the rooster crest honestly.

But hey, Deadpool's in the game, that's all i need.

Neither Hawkeye, no Ms. Marvel, no Gambit.

I wonder what the means of physical media it'll use.

Most likely an upgraded Blu-Ray disc.

Officially "PS4" backwards compatible is what was confirmed. So, no need for an influx of PS4 remasters. As for PS3 games backwards compatibility, I'm not holding my breath due to the issues with the PS3 architecture which meant making PS3 games backwards compatible on PS4 was difficult - hence the shitty cloud streaming.

PS1 & PS2 games really should also be backwards compatible on PS5.

YES!

I'd be completely fine with PS4 backwards compatibility only, tbh. Everything else would be just a cherry on top I'll gladly take.

Hopefully it’ll upscale the PS4 content to match the hardware buff with improved FPS and resolution.

Now that alone would make it an instant buy for me.

didn't know this project was still alive. cool too see that they're staying faithful to the original concept video as far as the artstyle goes

Now there's something I'd like to see take off. That sprite is awesome and my ideal direction for 2d Sonic to go in.

Realistic optimism. Also,  realism isn't the opposite of optimism. That's cynicism you're thinking of. 

"I love to think that Sonic might make it okay and we can win this, but let's be real here. The odds of that happening are not in our favor."

Realistic optimism is still something specific and seperate from both Realist and Optimist, though. "I'm a realist and and an optimist" and "I'm an optimistic realist" are two different things. Both "Realist" and "Optimist" are clear cut, defined words that you can't mix, even if they're not polar opposites (which is pessism). 

I know this is just some dumb line (though Bob Iger said the same exact phrase in an Disney+ Interview, which is why I bring it up in the first place), but it's just a pet peeve of mine.

@SupahBerry I know that's what they meant, but that's just boiling down to "I'd love to be optimistic but I can't be so I'm realistic" which is exactly what I'm hung up about lol

Again, I'm not confused by the line, it was pretty clear cut what they meant, I'm just bothered by the phrasing xP

@Jovahexeon Ogilvie Maurice Cynicism isn't the opposite of optimism; that's pessimism.

Just wondering what the UK price will be...

Can't recall if it took Netflix that long to expand globally.

Netflix took years upon years to appear outside the US in various territorries, so I guess this isn't too bad, but man, it just seems looong.

I'll be getting Disney+, but I doubt it'll be at launch.

Just saw this - (western) Europe is gonna get that stuff really quickly, which is what I was worried about. Great news.
