1UP-HUSKY

The first screens of Link and Zelda looked very promising, i was surprised how they really captured the look of both.

They shouldn't treat this as a game movie. Make it it's own thing, built the story and characters slowly and good, don't make it a action packed movie that goes from action scene to action scene with as much easter eggs as possible.

@Ploppy That's how they test for the grunts and shouts.

Does Nintendo have more self owned IP games for the NES and SNES that are not yet on it. Seems like they are struggling with to get the third party licenced games on it. There are many gems, but they might not be able to put it on the subscriptions, and thats why it takes so long. No excuse for the other apps though, they can add more on those

Is Pikmin really that big of a franchise? I slways considered it to be a niche franchise.

This has to be a april 1st joke. I'm not beleving it.

A full 4K remake of Flicky!

In the Nintebdo boardroom: how can we make the gamechat function feel retro and modern at the same time. I know, we make a button on the controller, make it look like old tech on the screen, and make people pay extra fee to be able to use the button.

Bring on the Ocarina of time remake! Hopefully in the style of the wii u tech demo

They will, unfortunately hardware costs will rise for them so they may have to as well.

I thought a new Star fox game was finally announced.... hopefully this means a new game is coming.

The main reason Nintendo couldn't abandon the Switch name for the Switch 2. They will most likely use this brand name for decades to come.

@Broch83 he's probably counting all that money they make of these sets. He will never see daylight again.

@Pillowpants if it has a movable and extendable tongue, it's going to be a popular one.

It's 18+ so they can increase the price a lot.

Looks like a fun popcorn movie on a saturday night. The best street fighter movie is Street Fighter II the animated movie.

I'm going to be nostalgia biased and vote for gen 1

This will be the first pokemon game i'm buying since diamond. Looks great.

I havent seen a leak so far. But if you see a youtuber post a thumbnail or anything with a spoiler, report and Block them, if it really bothers you. Don't enable them to earn money with it.

Why not offer every NSO game to be bought seperately.

Loods like a it's going to be a fun movie for the family and a nostalgia trip for the onder fans. Great to finally see Mouser make a return. Such a underused character, would make a great boss again in a new mario game.

4k blu-ray for me. Going to the cinema with my kids costs three times as much these days.

I caved and pre-order. My past 11 year old self forced me to buy it. What i would have done to have this back in those days.

I like it. So can we assume Bowser junior is in the movie? He's silhouette is shown on the second picture

@Erigen there's a reason why it's so popular in Japan.

Quickly scanning the website, for a moment I thought they announced a smash bros ultimate switch 2 edition.

Nintendo and huge success never go hand in hand with humble and feet on the ground. If anything they will get more greedy and consumer unfriendly like they did in the past.

I'm glad they are doing well but they are not the humble Nintendo from the Iwata days.

That's very un-Nintendo off them, how dare they make it free. All jokes aside, I played it for a hour yesterday, and it's a great game so far. I'm glad they will support it in the future.

Good app, but why didn't they add this in the Nintendo today app, instead of another app.

They should had let this go in the first place. They made Palword so much bigger then it was, it was the best free marketing they could get. Imo they should give another developer ,like monolith, a shot at pokemon, let them make a remake of gold and silver in full 3D or something. Make pokemon amazing again.
Gamefreak can still focus on new entries, but at least they might get some competition and aim higher in the process.

I caved and pre-ordered it @PJOReilly not sure if you can say this without spoilers, but is it true that there are a lot of hints to ocarina of time?

@CupidStunt I don't really think Nintendo still has it in them to really push those graphical boundaries. They left that motivation at the GameCube. Would love to see that with the ocarina of time remake though, bit something tells me it will have a different graphic style then most of us will hope.

Don't get it why they just can't release a demo in the eShop in 2025.

Fantastic game, and very underated. I highly recommend it to everyone. Still play it to this day.

@Serpenterror I don't think Miyamoto has kuch involvement in the games anymore, same as with Zelda. He has more of a advising role at the moment and more invested in the movies.

@MoldyPasta I think you misunderstood the pint of my reaction. I reacted to a post that said that Sony and Microsoft only make the same games like open world games without any ambition. My point is that Nintendo does exactly the same with those two exceptions in the last decade or so. The games you mentioned are all great games but fall into the same category the poster I reacted on said.

If you really look, without diehard fan glasses on, at Nintendo games they are pretty identical each generation. It's not a bad thing, because it's what we want as fans but it's not fair to call Microsoft or Sony out while they do the exact same thing as Nintendo has been doing for as long as they've been making games.

@Truegamer79 I'm saying this as a Nintendo fan since the NES. Nintendo does the same these days, copy paste and put in some axtra flavor of nostalgia to win the old crowd over. The games are still good but they are doing the same as the others with recycling past success, and I don't onlyean the countless remasters and remakes in switch. Kirby air ride 2 seems to be the most passionate and ambitious Nintendo exclusive since breath of the wild.

Exclusives matter, they always have. Best case scenario is both PlayStation and Nintendo going head to head. That way both will bring the best on the table. When one is one top they become corporate greedy heyanas, just look at the past. PlayStation with PS3 release ( they thought they could do whatever they wanted) and Nintendo with the SNES days and now with the Switch 2. When they need to battle for sales, we as gamers benefit, because great exclusives will be made.

@Pillowpants @BulkSlash yeah those were the good old days. I managed to get the Zelda collectors edition with ocarina of time and Majora's mask with this. I also remember wanting a Majora's mask statue, but I was never able to get enough star points for it.

@Jeronan it's a shame they don't get extra time for this. Would be really exciting to see people and pokemon walking around alot more like in the series. Hopefully in the future we will get this, as they should aim higher being the big franchise with the most potential. But then again Pokemon is aimed at small children, who most likely don't get care about that. My kids play Roblox all the time, Wich looks a 1000 times worse 😄

Great numbers. The battles is where this game shines. Pokemon will never be a graphical masterpiece. The thing they do need to change is make the city more alive. Let the people walk around instead of standing in random places like a statue. Gamefreak is stuck in the past with this. I think that would make a great difference. It will improve the feel and look if the game completely. The world feels empty and lifeless now.

My kids are going to love this.

Yet in Europe we have the same stuff as usual, stickers, notebooks and magnets. I miss the GameCube days when you could get games like the collectors edition of Zelda and statues of games.

I never played Pikmin, but can't humans see pikmins or is it just oddly animated as the mother doesn't seem to see them?

So were all depressive and dark minded gamers these days. I enjoy these kind of stories, but lately I actively search for games with at least a happy ending.

It really says a lot about a developer that they can't be bothered to get a year old game working perfectly on a new console. It's not like persona 3 was a technically, graphically master piece on PS5.

Switch 2 looks a little less sharper. But these are cut scenes and it's an upscaled PS4 game on PS5. Still impressive though. Can't wait till next year to see the switch 2 first party games.

They can and should do so much better for Pokemon. It's a franchise that should be one of the best looking games on a Nintendo console. Look at how well other developers do cell shaded graphics. They could easily recreate the anime. Pokemon Company had more then enough money to put in the games. They can create their own engine if they wanted to.

I know the games bring in the least money compared from everything Pokemon, but they are at the very start of every new gen.

@kmtrain83 what I mean by that is that if people don't buy the third party GCK's, support for either GCK or switch 2 might change in a year of two by third parties. Poor sales might push support back like with the Wii U. Digital sales might be good enough, however the small hard disk of switch 2 might be a deal breaker for a lot of people to buy big sized third party games. Expanding the storage isn't cheap either at the moment.

It's to early to tell though but in a couple of years we will know more about the effects of GCK.

So the Switch 2 should be the switch 1 version. Pokemon Company really should invest more money in the games, they have more then enough. Pokemon games could be so much more,

@Pillowpants i think the impact of the key cards will only be visible after a couple years. As we will see wether third party will still use them or drop support for S2. As long as Nintendo will release all first party on cards I'm happy. I will buy third party on PS5 if it is available on that console. Nintendo's first party games will always be the most important games for most, and the biggest reason to buy a Nintendo console.
