Share your thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2
Bored of the Switch? Well, you're in luck…? Nintendo has announced a slightly bigger one with a number on it.
It seems like this will be Nintendo's main offering for the next 8 years—as with this announcement, we can finally surmise that the company's mysterious "NX" console was silently canceled at some point in the last generation.
At least this time there'll be a new Mario Kart to play.
What do you make of this development? Heard any wacky rumors about the Nintendo Switch 3 from the far-off sci-fi year of 203X yet? Let me know in the comments. Please. It's been so lonely ever since Miiverse shut down.

Even with blogs being less frequent these days, i'm surprised this one hasn't been made yet. Curious what everyone thinks.
New theme
I'm excited to share a new theme for Fantendo! You've probably already noticed that the logo, favicon, server icon, and color scheme have been changed. I also plan to change the background but I need to tweak the design first.
The wiki has been using the same logo since 2015, and I'm fond of it, naturally. However, it's pretty low-contrast, and we don't have the source file, so it was fixed resolution and hard to customize for events.
Since Fantendo also stopped using a square logo in 2015, square and circular applications like the Discord server have been troublesome. The stacked "Fant/endo" served us well, but i never found it ideal, and the design was still jaggy at large sizes. The server icon was later clipped to "Fa", and the favicon w…
The case against Unten's prophecy
Over the past several days, i've been researching Unten's games to try to improve the character's article, which i did not find worthy of being featured before. It's been fascinating catching up on these stories and filling in the gaps in my knowledge on Unten.
Exotoro's Prodigy series introduced one plot element that i think doesn't fit with Unten's story role. According to Fissure (2014), Chief Dongorio's tribe has a prophecy that a bear-like hero will defeat a great evil. I'd clock this as a major reason for Unten being a hero by obligation. As much as i like reluctant-hero Unten, i have several issues with this.
Now this is moot because Fantendoverse τ is canceled, but if i'd been more up to speed then, i would've resisted carrying the proph…
Font updates
A couple weeks ago, I noticed we weren't getting italics and weights for a lot of fonts. This set me on a journey to overhaul our fragmented font infrastructure. I'd say it's been a week since I just about finished this project, and everything is stable as far as I know, so I'm overdue to cover the updates.
First, I've updated and collated all of our CSS webfont imports. Administrators adding new fonts should be aware to now use .
Before, fonts were imported on several CSS pages, making them more difficult to manage. This broke a lot of our fonts in the move to the new skin, and made it much more difficult to fix them all. Now they're all in one place.
I rewrote all the syntax to match the new Google Fonts CSS API, meaning we get every possib…
