Ahaha same. Opened the thread out of curiosity and you got a good laugh out of me with that image. Well played OP.
In theory, yes. It's part of their goal, but it's going to take some time.
tasteWhy did he not let his daughter play the Switch AC in the first place?
Because he already attempted that and the kid hated ACNH.Why did he not let his daughter play the Switch AC in the first place?
Why should they not be able to play video games?Am I the only one who thinks a 3-year old should play with other things?
Shin Megami Tensei Iv Apocalypse is my suggestion. He'll love it.Sorry, this is a bit beside the actual topic, but whenever I read about something like this or listen to Vinny Caravella talking about his kids on Nextlander, I get super confused about what is appropriate and also possible in terms of video games for kids. I thought I had this all figured out. But now I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old at home and screen time in general and video games specifically are quite complicated to handle for me. The little one is fine for now, she doesn't get any screen time at all yet. The 5 year old can decide if he wants to watch TV or play games. I don't think he was even interested in video games a couple of years ago, so I find it confusing that 3 year olds are even playing. Now with 5 he is quite interested. He mostly plays Mario Kart on the Switch. And he wants to play Lego Fortnite, but that game seems way to complex for him. It's really hard to just boot it up with all the menus and pop up crap in that awful Fortnite UI. And the controls use A LOT of buttons. So I wonder: Would he like Animal Crossing? How does one play this without being able to (properly) read? Should I try to "teach" him Fortnite? Would he be interested in something else? What are age appropriate video games for 5 year olds? Is there even a good answer to that?
A three year old doesnt really need online to play the game still and enjoy it, the game still works.
You can do local wireless anyway if they have multiple systems in the house.

If you watched the video you would know that she wanted to do dreams, but when he broke it to her that she can't anymore due to it not having online she burst into tears.A three year old doesnt really need online to play the game still and enjoy it, the game still works.

She didn't like the game. He goes into detail during the latest podcast about it.
My kid doesn't playing AC anymore, but she'd be absolutely gutted if she couldn't do the dreams or play it with her friends anymore.
As someone whose experience with AC is mostly NH, could you tell me why, or at least point me in the direction of where I could find out?
At this rate, the Switch will be taken offline before its sequel is here."We have a system that's online, it's called Nintendo Switch" - Reggie or something
Does it really matter?As someone whose experience with AC is mostly NH, could you tell me why, or at least point me in the direction of where I could find out?
No, and I'm not trying to debate or argue, I just wanted to know.

I believe local play is unaffected and still works after the shut down. This specific complaint is about the dreams feature, which I never used, but it apparently let you jump into a copy of a random online town.Game's 11 years old. Why should peer2peer multiplayer be disabled ever? This would be embarrassing enough for a independent developer's game but a first party Nintendo title? Give me a break. The 3DS itself is only 12 years old.
Exactly.It is startlingly easy to tell the difference between who has kids/has kid relatives and who hasn't interacted with a child at all since becoming adults.
Simply put, there's no way to rationalize why something that's worked for like 25% of a toddler's life no longer works and that it'll never work again. They'll be heartbroken over it for the day, move on, then bring it right back to you tomorrow asking why it's not working, just to cry their eyes out about it again. It's emotionally exhausting for both parent and child. So I have some empathy for Jeff because I've been there before a few times now and it's not fun. The nice thing is children are resilient and she'll put it behind her as long as they find other ways to occupy her. But highlighting how consoles shutting down online functionality affects people is worthwhile imo.

Does he even like games anymore
