1UP-HUSKY

Hoping for that glorious Zelda ocarina of time remake announcement. But will probably not happen, guess I'll settle for a new Mario and Metroid prime 4 release.

@BulkSlash pretty much almost every rpg before Pokemon, also games like Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Goof troop etc.

And people still think Nintendo is the nicest company. This mechanic has been used even on the way back in the day of the SNES and Mega Drive, and used in countless games. They shouldn't even be able to patent this and be able to use it order to target other companies for money. Nintendo are becoming there worse self again from the past.

In game purchases.... That does not bode well.

I dislike the key card thing and will only buy first party games on the switch 2. As a Nintendo fan I hink it's a solid line-up you have a new Mario Kart and a great 3D Donkey Kong game. Compare it to the past Nintendo consoles, it beats GameCube, Wii and Wii U.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant or the original Watership down. Cartoons were really dark back then in comparison to the soft movies these days. I watched Dumbo with my kids a while ago, they didn't seem notice those things though, they just like the elephant and mouse. I don't think we will ever see those kind of things from Disney again.

Never got to play it so going to give it a go. Hopefully they will be eventually be allowed to add games like Castlevania 64, Mega man 64, and both Goemon games.

@Olliemar28 if it's not announced this month I don't see it coming to Switch 2. The game has been present for many game events now, I don't also see any reason to keep a Switch 2 version a secret to he honest. The system is selling good. I hope for all the gamers who only own a Nintendo console it is coming though.

If they would they would have announced it already. It's time Nintendo,Sony etc. start announcing there plans ahead again so the so called influencers stop trying to get clicks by starting rumours every five minutes.

For Nintendo only gamers this will be a major upgrade. For others this might be a downgrade.

A YouTuber starting a rumour...... Let's leave it at that.

It's the small things that makes a game stand out.

30 fps isn't a big deal. At least it never bothers me, but I might be an old fossil in gaming years as I started gaming with NES. Remember those fps? You're character would just disappear on screen.

I'm just really curious to see if this will be completely on a card. This is the biggest title Square-enix is releasing for now on the switch 2, they should aim high, but I higly doubt it though. If it's fully on a physical card I might double dip.

PS5 version it will be then. This doesn't look good for third party support in the future. Nintendo needs to step up and release smaller sizes and just toss away key cards.

It's a fantastic game, and to be honest, I like it more then Mario Odyssey.

This wouldn't have happend if it had just evolved in Raichu.

That last question makes the survey completely irrelevant. This is just a way to tell people: See, everyone rather buys keycards instead of downloads. Should have a option, no I don't buy them because I want it completely physical.

Eurpe and Japan for me. The American version is wrong in so many ways. Looks like Mickey is holding something else in that area.

@sethfranum Relax, I was just being sarcastic, should have put a smiley to make it more obvious. They have the right to protect the things they create, however ray tracing isn't something new and Nintendo has a recent history of patenting something that was already there and sueing others after it. Nintendo isn't a saint in the gaming market, in fact if you look at their past, they are the worst. Doesn't change that they are still an amazing company with great games.

The more patents they have the easier it is to sue the competition out of the market.

What about Mouser and Ward from Mario bros 2 or other classic games. There were better Mario characters available then the ones we got to be honest.

@Olliemar28 @Anti-Matter I wouldn't be surprised if those games will actually use AI more then AAA. Those games are made to make fast cash, and the less they cost the better it is.

August release? Or is that wishfull thinking.

"below our lowest estimates" Square-enix is that you?

Let's just name it the Nintendo multiverse, no timeline needed anymore.

Mario sunshine was different then what we expected to get, but still a great game with a lot of challenge and good levels. I'm in the minority and think oddesy is the lesser of all Mario 3D games. This is mainly because of the realistic T-Rex, dragon and people walking in Donk city. It just doesn't match.

But this marketing stunt is something else, that Luigi is really going for it.

So much for nintendo building lasting hardware. Seems like the Wii is the last console to last a lifetime.

Going to check it when I'm back home.

I still dream of one Pokemon game, with all regions and all Pokemon to catch. One giant game.

Pointless comparison to be honest, as gaming wasn't as big back then as it is now. But great to see the switch 2 doing great, these sales just prove how big gaming has become. Who would have guessed this back then.

@PikaPhantom PS5 was launched in the middle of the pandemic. Wich created a lot of problems for them to get enough consoles supplied. It was the most difficult time to launch a console.

I sold my copy of Splatoon 3 because I expected that Splatoon 4 would be released around the switch 2 launch... Guess I was wrong.

Going to be playing Mario Kart world and maybe some breath of the wild.

I was going to get the PS5 version anyway, but this just confirms the Switch 2 will be my first party Nintendo machine. I hope Nintendo wakes up and bring smaller card sizes for third party developers. Most companies learn from mistakes in the past.

I'm really looking forward to this game and can't wait to play it tomorrow. But every time I see a screenshot of this game I feel disappointed. I mean just look at the screen with p switch. You can't tell me they are still not capable of making round tires or Mario's hat round instead of those hard blocky edges.

20 minigames and 14 tech demo's. Going by Nintendo standards it's a miracle they didn't ask 40 for this. The mini games look fun though.

Would be pretty cool if they made Wart from Mario bros 2 the main vilian. Would match with the style they're going for.

Does the case carry itself for that price? It's a great looking case and I might end up buying one for when we go on vacation but not for that price. I'll wait for the cheap knock offs.

Is this a hint to a Sonic table tennis and Sonic pool games.

Still have this on the GameCube. What an amazing game and definitely one of the greatest fighting games. Always wished for a Zelda fighting game after playing as Link.

@Paraka actually Nintendo and Sega started brand-based power pissing in the 90's. Sony and MS continued the tradition.

Show don't tell then. That's for every developer. If you want to sell games for 80 then you really need to show why the game is worth that amount. Developers really need to make better games, so in the end it might be better for us and worse for some developers that got away with crappy games in the past.

Would be nice if they make special boxes for certain games like a green or gold box for Zelda.

Must hurt for the pokemon to walk through those spikes.

This is just over hyping before the consoles release ( happens with every console). Let's just see how the first years go.

@HugoGED they probably won't. Whether thats good or not is up to debate for every studio. In the end they will make whatever Nintendo wants them to make.

Would also love to see them get a shot at other Nintendo IP. I think they could make a great Golden Sun game.

Here's the plan: selling Switch 2 owners ports of old games at 80$€£ on a key card or code in a box release. Maximizing profits with zero effort.

I understand it allows the game to be resold at any time, but imo it's a waste of resources. Just allow to have more variety in sizes for the cards and if you want to sell it in stores then force developers to put the actual game on it.

It's not like they sell these versions cheaper then if the game would be in it.

Yeah... I'm going to buy first party Nintendo games only for the Switch 2. If FFVII is going to be completely on the card I might double dip but I highly doubt it. If rebirth will come to Switch 2, Wich I still doubt, it will never fit on one card to begin with. Nintendo really screwed up with this. Why only have 256 GB drive in it.

Looks good to be honest, might pick this up.

If true it's a odd choice, but then again it's Nintendo were talking about here. With every new console there are weird decisions to raise your eyebrows at.
