1UP-HUSKY

@EVIL-C Nintendo's bad relationship actually started way back with the SNES because of the cartridge prices that publishers needed to pay Nintendo for. With the N64 they lost most publishers to the competitors, mainly because they didn't went with discs while developers asked them to do. This resulted in that developers needed to highly compress their games and again pay for more expensive cartridges. With the GameCube they tried to win them back and at first it got good support but because they opted for their own smaller discs they lost support quickly.

Nintendo never really recovered third party support from this time, even with it's succes of the Wii and Switch, they always had the lowest support because from third party because of the inferior hardware or choices for game storage. Unfortunately this might and will possible happen with the Switch 2. Developers just don't want to invest in good compression for lower hardware, at least not for their multi-platform games.

My favorite mode. Glad it's still in.

This game is going to be a lot of fun, can't wait to play it on June 5th. But I gotta say, those screenshots look pretty low res, at least the environments.

To quote Murtaugh "i'm getting too old for this s***". My reaction speed is not what it used to be when playing these games. Going to be some bumpy rides.

Looks good. Hopefully they will announce the release date soon. Expecting a August or September release

Up until the Wii that was very much the identity of Nintendo though. They always had the much powerful console. Only there choice of it's media space made it difficult for third party to release (compress) games for their platform.

Don't get why this just can't be in the game instead of a phone app. Hope this is not going to be a standard thing with all the Nintendo games.

Missed opertunity from Nintendo to release a complete game physically. Would have bought it if the DLC would be on the card.

Can't compete in this one unfortunately. Just traded in my copy and waiting for Splatoon 4.

If you hold it for 30 seconds then pres A-B -Up- Down -Left-Right you will enter God mode.

They release a Zelda game every year so they probably hold on to this and release it when they don't have a new game to release.

I also consider the CDi games as canon, taking place after Links awakening. The covers even future Link and Zelda from a link to the past. Still enjoy playing that Quadrilogy from time to time.

This is just like buying a strategy guide for the Switch 2.

Can't wait to play this myself on launch. Got the game for €80 and donkey Kong for 70. You can get the games cheaper but you need to really search for it. I think 70 is going to be the standard, as long as the quality is good I'm fine with that.

This really depends on when you grew up imo. For me nothing beats the SNES and N64 lineups. Going from the nes to SNES was amazing, seeing Mario world and what was possible with f-zero and Pilotwings was amazing back then. And we'll... The N64, Mario 64. You can't explain that wow effect to a newer generation.

I do am more excited forthe switch 2. Haven't been this excited for a release of a new Nintendo system since the GameCube. It really seems Nintendo is going al out with great first party games.

I got it today but I already ordered at a another store.

These two games look great and one of the reason I buy the Switch 2 at launch. Hopefully they show new games soon. Can't wait to see the next Mario and Zelda ( hopefully a OOT remake in style of the Wii U tech demo).

I'm also camping for the Switch 2.... In my living room. Waiting for the delivery service to bring my package on June 5th. Unfortunately he's really slow.

I dislike DLC, mainly because most of the time it's just so developers can released unfinished games. However Nintendo releases finished game packed with content. If they do make DLC it's great content at a reasonable price. Mario Kart 8 got content after a lot of years, I do expect they do the same for World in the end.

So it doesn't make me look like Brad Pitt. That's a bummer....

Seems to me like a non issue. What's more curious, what's up with the colours of a Link to the past in that screenshot?

To bad Nintendo just keeps stuck in the past when it comes to these things. They don't have to reinvent the wheel here, just simply do what the competition does and paint it in a Nintendo coat.

@lumothesinner not that I don't agree with you but the Last of us 2 had an extra game mode and more extras, ghost of Tsushima also had extra conntent, Spider-Man remastered had all previous dlc included and was free if you bought it with miles morales. It's easy to trash Sony on a Nintendo site but both companies are asking an up price for extra content here. And in the end it's up to everyone to decide if it's worth it or not.

I'm more interested in if the switch 2 physical versions of Zelda have the DLC included.

For Nintendo standards this is free. Don't forget this is a company that sold us the same virtual console games twice for full price or extra fee to upgrade to another console.

And all the extra accessoires for every console or the expansion pack for the N64 to be able to play DK and Zelda.

If you have online then at least the Zelda expansions will be free.

This pretty much confirms for me that I will most likely only buy first party games for the switch 2. And third party the on the PS5.

I rather have a full remake of ocarina of time or Twilight Princess in the style of the Wii U tech demo. But I will buy wind waker hd without a doubt.

Is there a battle mode? Didn't see any mention on it...

Can't wait to play this game, managed to pre-order the Switch 2 today.

Imagine what they will ask for the next Zelda 🤑

So basically first party Nintendo games will be fully on cards, third party will most likely scr*w you. Why not just release it digital only if you're not putting the game on the card. Talking about waste of materials

Yes it is. And we can al argue that yes N64 titles were just as expensive, but those were different times. Gaming was less of a thing, and we all know how wel the N64 sold in comparison to the competition. This is greed because the switch was a succes. No excuse to sell remasters at that price, and why is donkey Kong cheaper...

This really reeks like the old Nintendo from the SNES/N64 days. The were really on a high horse those days and asked extreme prices then, they seem to go that way again. I hope they get a big backlash and change those prices. 70 € is the max

Just saw the price of Mario kart on the Nintendo store 90€ for a physical copy, 80€ for digital. They completely went Bananas again at Nintendo

Will be great if true, however... Alot of GameCube games still look great today. It will be easy for Nintendo to remaster them and sell them at a cheaper price. Will they really add those games to switch online and miss on that.

Yeah... I can take these first impressions serious anymore. They were going to a PR event to promote the movie afterwards. They are always positive. It's a "fun" movie is used to much. It's what you use if you don't really know what to say.

They think they're going to make the next lord of the rings. I dislike the idea of trilogies. It just means a crappy open ending for the first two. End if it fails you have a movie with no ending like the golden compass, back when they first tried to film that. Hopefully they film it back to back.

If the launch games are good and pre-ordering one won't be a disaster like the PS5, I will get it. I'm not going the PS5 thing where to needed to be on a constant alert to get one, I had zero enjoyment in buying it at launch

Mario Kart might not be the reason to buy a Nintendo console, but it's always a reason to have one. It will sell great like every Mario Kart.

On this Tuesday he got a little smile from me because of the it's so bad, it's good joke

@KBuckley27 and here I was thinking it was a direct for the PS4.

Not gonna happen. It will make more sense to announce some new Switch 1 games next week and show enhancements with the switch 2 backwards compatibility.

@larryisaman that will most likely be the case, best of both worlds. And like you said this is a expensive game because of it's development cycle, so it needs to sell big. So having it on both will be best case.

Wouldn't want to see Metroid end up like f-zero and star fox.

I'm still surprised this wasn't just pushed to switch 2. It would make the most sense as it can really shine as a launch title.

This looks amazing. I would love to see this animation style in a short series like Sega did with Sonic Mania.

Seems like they acted like a real Trumpamon.

Donkey Kong '94 with the super Game Boy was something else. A whole new world opened up to gamers back then. One of the greatest games of the 90's.

I'm turning in a grumpy man stuck in the past. I would love to see a Ocarina of time remake, Golden Sun, Star fox, a great Mega man 3d game from Capcom. That's the dream list.

Now the realistic list: Mario kart, first glimpse of 3D Mario, some third party ports, breath of the wild 4k with all dlc included ( because Nintendo does make questionable choices sometimes.)

All I hope for is one giant game with all the regions and all current Pokemon, so you can really catch them all and compete in all the leagues in one game. No new region with new Pokemon.

@Anti-Matter considering your preference for kid friendly games I don't think the Sonic franchise as a whole is something for you. Sonic has always aimed at older kids and teeangers, and been more edgy then it's counterpart Mario in the 90's. Especially since the adventure games the franchise got a darker tone.

The smurfs kart game might be more for you or the paw patrol kart game. My kids enjoyed those for a while.

Mushroom kingdom and peach's castle.
