Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Lol. Magic

Well, I have to wake up at 4 am since the Direct will be on 24 September 2021 at 5 am, so I have 1 hour to take a bath, eat my breakfast, prepare my lunch box, prepare my bag before 5 am so after watching the Direct with approximate 40 minutes from my Nintendo Switch, I can immediately go to school.

@Budda
Oh my gosh. Even in that video the difference is drastic. OLED has great viewing angles which is also on display.

From 5 minutes onwards he shows games in a close up view. They look SO. GOOD.

@gcunit
Lol 😆

@Anti-Matter Prepare you lunch and bag the night before, eat your breakfast while watching the direct and....bathing is overrated - shower at school or something. Have a lie in until 5am and just watch the Direct 😂

@dmcc0
bathing is overrated

Ah. Last words of my late Uncle Robert. He always used to say, "we Holdens don't shower but once or twice a year but when we do, we clean up pretty nice" lol

I can see Anti spending all of that time getting up early and prepping only for a warning a the start of The Direct about how they are showing off naughty M rated games like a GTA collection and Bayonetta 3 so he has to turn it off.

I'm prepared with everything needed and tons of excitement. Will be watching this with a friend. I spread the word everywhere.
Nintendo Direct is like a party.

@SKTTR haha yep! Wish I had a pal or two to watch with.

Yes, today is the day. Hoping for Goldeneye to return. it might not. but well...

@NintendoByNature Ah man. I never had the first Mario Party, but I did play it in college with a friend of mine. One of the minigames I played was Paddle Battle, it was 1-vs.-3 and it makes you spin the control stick a ton. I could barely handle it myself. lol

@reporterdavid

Goldeneye is lost in a rights cesspool. Nintendo has the rights to the N64 game code. IO Interactive have the current video game rights. Eon owns the rights to the James Bond trademark. And Liberty Records owns the rights to the Bond music.

All entities would have to agreed to a revenue split if Goldeneye were ever ported, remastered, or remade. So ugh...good luck with that? More than a bit wishful thinking I feel.

Like Anti-Matter, people who live in the UK (e.g. me, theJGG, GrumbleVolcano, Pizzamorg) will have to get up at nightime to watch the Direct... for us it's 11pm, on a work/schoolnight. My plan is to go to bed at 7, try to get some sleep and if by 9 i haven't, give up and stay up.

@chapu2006 Man, I never go to bed at 11PM even when I need to get up early the next morning.

@chapu2006 @TheJGG doesn't live in the UK, he's British but lives in UAE I think but he can correct me if I'm wrong.

But lets be honest, 11pm isn't that late and you can still catch the recommended 7 hours of sleep. I went to a gig the other night and then went drinking afterwards til 2am and still got up in time for work as fresh as a daisy the next day, toughen up like me folks! ;p

@MarioLover92 yea for sure. Awesome mini games but some of them really were a test of endurance lol

@jump I checked his location and it says UK but there may not be an option for UAE so you may be right. And you're right, 11pm isn't ridiculously late and it's not on the scale of getting up at 4am like Anti-Matter but that doesn't mean you should always stay up until around midnight.

Feeling very strongly we'll be seeing Bayonetta 3 before the end of the year, if not tonight

@chapu2006 Rubbish!🤘

Nintendo 132 years, big sale and Nintendo direct. what a day....

@jump @chapu2006 Yeah, you two are more or less right on. I think the whole late debacle is very specific to some people, I’m a very early sleeper habitually speaking, sometimes I’d be asleep by eight at night, for example. So the strategy for me is to go to sleep and set an alarm for half past twelve in the morning, half an hour before the Direct.

Snowflake or no, it’s traditions lol.
