Nintendo Won't Focus On Making Switch 2 Games Exclusively, Switch 1 Remains Important

Nintendo Won't Focus On Making Switch 2 Games Exclusively, Switch 1 Remains Important https://ift.tt/OrYBS7c Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has stressed how vital it is for the company to keep driving sales of Switch 1 games, even though the Switch 2 has come to market. During the company's latest earnings briefing , Furukawa said, "I believe it is important that we consider how to expand the entire software business, including titles for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2." He said Nintendo should take this approach as opposed to "focusing only on sales of Nintendo Switch 2 software." Furukawa said this in response to a question about the slowed sales of Switch 2-exclusive Mario Kart World after the company discontinued the hardware bundle that included the game.

Barbie's Ryan Gosling On The "Hypocrisy" Of Ken Haters: "You Never Cared"

When Barbie was introduced in 1959, she was sold by herself, but her greatest accessory wouldn't hit the market until a year later: Ken.

And everyone was fine with that, for him to have a job that is nothing. But suddenly, it's like, 'No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.' No, you didn’t. You never did. You never cared. Barbie never f---ed with Ken. That's the point. If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told."

Director Greta Gerwig has already said that Ken's creation is sort of a reverse Adam and Eve story in the Book of Genesis. Much like Barbie, Ken is malleable but is almost a worshipper of Barbie and everything she is. Gerwig said that she cast Gosling in the role because of a quality he has about never judging the characters. "He doesn't try and make you know that Ryan Gosling knows that this is silly. He does it in a way that takes on all of the potential humiliations of the character as his own."
