95% percent of the time, yes. They will occasionally talk about a game on another platform, such as Final Fantasy XV. But it's very rare.

I feel like there was an episode of the Jimquisition about this, but I can't remember.

From Saudi Arabia apparently:
So shall we panic yet? I think we should panic.

Panic why?
Wait, this is from a retail store over there?
It's just the games? No Switch unit?

I think Jim loves good games, regardless who makes them. Like any sensible gamer.
Well those don't look like press units so the game could possibly be out in the wild.

I don't know. A friend sent it to me on Whatsapp... I'm in Jordan (a neighboring country to Saudi Arabia), I know he has connections there, but I didn't probe him for details.
I think Jim can distinguish his feelings between Nintendo as a creator and Nintendo as a business. Probably excitement with a new Nintendo thing but utter disdain when he actually has to deal with them.

The tissues and jar of honey really set the scene.
Yeah, don't really think this person even has a Switch, just the games. If he got a wii u copy, it be a different story.
Looks like a retailer opening a delivery to be honest, judging by the other new items around. But yeah at some point soon this will be out in the

I don't think he's particularly biased. He'll even give Ubisoft games good reviews if they're any good, and he moans about them as much as he does Nintendo.

But there is no doubt he has a personal campaign against Nintendo. Don't know why, perhaps his backer give him money for that. His sometimes good reviews of Ngames seems like a camouflage for his agenda.

That seems like a retailer, why else would they just have two Pikachu n3DS XLs just sitting there.
He doesn't respect them as an entity, but he respects that mostly as a developer and probably wants them to succeed for the benefit of the industry.
Content ID and their general actions towards fan content.

As someone who missed pre-orders, and hopes to still manage one somehow on release, I will happily take either one. They're both really nice IMO.

given the number of copies I can't help but suspect they were stolen
Not to speak for him or anything, but I think he enjoys their games at times (most recently splatoon), but that he feels they have some pretty crappy business practices (copyright shenanigans, odd business decisions, forced scarcity of some products). I think, like a lot of people, he likes the games, but is often confused/disappointed by company decisions.

The classic Zelda amiibo give you drops, things like food or arrows I think? There was a thread on it a while ago. A chest appears out of thin air and drops by Link, and has some stuff in it. People were laughing because the animations used looked like a play on when you're in debug mode and you drop in an item?
No, we import the games. We still don't have an official rating system, although I heard they will start developing one soon.
In case you are wondering, I have no idea about the pictures above.
....I'm not gonna make it
why do days have 24 hours? do we really need all those hours?

Someone said in the Gravity Rush 2 thread that there's lots of EU copies of the game in the ME so it may be a common thing.

Why didn't Nintendo make the Switch a $150 PS4Pro equivalent VR Time Machine with lasers attached to its head??? What are they thinking?!?!?

Wii U does exist. A Switch is not required for a Zelda leak.
The real fingers awkardly lining up with the pictures of fingers on the box is sorta weirding me out for some reason.

Games will be colorful enough by themselves, go grey.
So many hands.
Damn I'm jealous.
