Maybe we’ll get an IR sensor bar at some point afterall 🤞

This is the kind of scam you have to watch out for.

I’d prefer an infrared Wii bar attachment.

I’d like to see the future of rockband/guitar hero be a self contained game tied to the instrument rather than console releases that fade away after a generation. I can’t wait for my 4 year old to someday play on the 360 with me… supposing it still works when she’s old enough. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

From what I read (and only slightly understand), the issue with the 8nm is that it uses more power so it’ll have Nintendo stunting handheld performance like they currently do (why many people hack the switch to overclock it and get better performance). But that supposedly it won’t matter for docked performance.

On the positive side of that, some knowledgeable tech folk believe that since it’s not in an automobile, Nintendo may be able to reconfigure the chip to use less power anyway without messing with performance 🤞

Regardless , all guess work til we get the official reveal. And as long as games run great on it, I don’t care what specs it’s showing since I’ve seen miracles on switch 1.

The conversations about the 5nm vs the 8nm are very fascinating and educational, regardless of whatever the final system has. The same with the 12 vs 16 gigs of ram. The positive thinkers seem to maintain that since it’s custom hardware for a specific gaming device use (rather than a mobile device for example), the “flaws” won’t be as damning as the higher end options Nintendo possibly didn’t go with. As long as the games it has are fun and run well (and look decent enough) I’ll be happy. 👍. Plus if it makes native switch games run better/optimized, I’m all for it. I have over 800 games in my backlog. I’m also really curious about how the dock will adjust the games since that’s really not being brought up (though we don’t have any major dock leaks so to be expected I guess).

Either way, it’s helping pass the time while we wait 😂🤣🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

This could just be a trap to get people to their booth! I love it 😂🤣

That’s disappointing to hear. I’d absolutely buy (depending on game list) a Dreamcast mini. Or even a Dreamcast collection as a console release. What I won’t buy is a sega streaming service though. 😜

I’m more interested in a release date for the system than the announcement of the release date at this point. What is the earliest the system could be released? If there are millions stock piling as we speak, maybe it is announced in January and released in March?

Ugh. So thus ends the compilation sets I guess. And the sega tier of the Nintendo online catalog.

Sega shouldn’t bother imho. They’re overestimating their fanbase and wanting to spend money. Unless they fill it with Saturn and Dreamcast titles. Arcades as well. But even then I wouldn’t spend more than 5$ a month at most. And that’s pushing it. I have well over a thousand games in my backlog.

Terminator resistance was really fun. I’ll keep my eyes on this one.

Please get 2 on the switch eshop.

I’m just waiting to see some final spec confirmations from Nintendo themselves since physically the system is about what many figured it would be. Though it looks like in these mockups that the analog sticks are slightly closer to the buttons this time around. That kind of disappoints me since I didn’t like how close they already were.

Either way, fingers crossed for an actual reveal sometime soon.

I want secret of mana redone this way.

Okay Nintendo. Let’s just get this over with please.

I think we will see some awesome first party and some great, “miracle ports” if the hardware rumors are true. Very similar to switch 1 I’m sure.

But my concern comes with the speed at which technology and gaming in general continue to advance now. Nintendo typically likes to run with their systems for a decent amount of time and I have concern about how long it can maintain at its slower pace.

However, if the rumors of delaying switch 2 are that it’s for stockpiling a massive release wave so that it is easy to find, I’m okay with the wait. Most of us would be waiting just as long to find one in the wild if it released now or first quarter 2025 anyway.

I don’t mind leaning into 3rd party for the end of the life cycle, but how about some legacy re releases and remasters sprinkled in too? Mario Galaxy 2 for example? Metroid prime 2 & 3?

How about some new graphic choices? Like smooth or the scanline changes without the scanlines.

I just hope the screen is an OLED again.

It’s a must own for me once it hits $20 or less. Until then, gonna pass.

What a wild, suspenseful ride this has been. I wonder how long til a reveal finally happens. I’ll almost be sad to see the speculation and “reveal” articles go 😂🤣. Almost.

If the system is made and boxed and just waiting to go out the door, can they still develop more for it or are they not actually at the “ready to go” level?

The most accurate sounding rumor to me was that they had already manufactured millions of them so that nobody has issues finding them when they finally release next year.

Please yes. I can’t stand the controls of the new DK side scrollers. I’d love a new game in the SNES vein. Or even an HD remaster if possible of 1-3. The DKC snes trilogy is some of my fav games ever.

Other than the graphic and FPS adjustments, what type of QOL enhancements are there? Rewind or save states? Guidance arrows? Anything like that?

@kevinm360 Rogue squadron

Of all the choices to remaster, this is what the picked. 🤦‍♂️. Even though we were kids, my brother and I couldn’t beat that mushroom jumping level. In Psone and the DC! I’m almost curious just to take it on again, supposing the remaster is actually playable….

I think they should have released a sequel with the new engine first. Then surprise dropped an already finished remake with this updated engine soon thereafter. I loved the game but there’s no way I’m buying this until it’s like 10-15$.

@Banjo- I gotta admit, as Nintendo gamer since 91ish, I do have a void in my heart for never taking on DK64. And I’m sure when it gets added to the switch I’m just gonna at least give it a few hours energy. Will I see it all the way through… I don’t know. But I have to try it a little bit.

DK 94, Diddy racing, and conker please. DK64 I’ve never had an interest in. My younger brother played it and it just seemed like such a slog.

@-wc- Honestly I’m cool with it as long as they actually play well. I’ve had enough different character play with the turtles game so less thinking, more putty smashing works for me. 😂🤣

Is this the one with poor previews saying everyone plays the same? Either way, I’ll still probably get it if it’s not too expensive.

Yes please!! Cannot wait 🤞 🙏

I’d be curious to follow a timeline where Nintendo and Sony did see the partnership through. Does sega partner with Phillips? Does Phillips become “Sony”? Is it now just Nintendo and Sony vs sega? Interesting to consider.

Darn. Was hoping for the GBC version. Now for DK 64 and conker 🤞

So an Inch or or so more screen size?!

Probably don’t plan on saying anything until next summer because we all will sit patiently and wait!

😂🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

That trailer seemed pretty interesting. I’ll keep an eye on this one.

I’d like to have the ability to have IR pointers again.

Yes please. The sooner the better.

I feel like I’m reading a Dave meltzer article on wrestlemania 3 attendance. 🤣😂

Nice. I hope they do the GBC version of 3. And then on to DK 64 and conkers bad fur day 🤞

Nice pick. Though 2 is probably the best of the GB games. And didn’t they do an official colorized version of 3?

@cosmograph Thank you so much for the detailed response! I will have to think about it but it sounds like a pretty decent exercise game. I like to mix up my DDP Yoga with ring fit, so adding this into the routine may still be a nice change of pace.

@cosmograph What did you hear about the game? I love home workouts and ring fit in particular I’ve been keeping up with for 4 years. I’m curious about this one now.

I don’t care what it costs or what is released with it, now that they confirmed BC they’ve got my money. I’m just waiting for the reveal and confirmation on how old games run on it to decide what I work on between now and then. Lol

I want a remaster or remake of the SNES trilogy so much. I can’t stand the new ones and their control styles.

I wonder if it would be more profitable to just develop for switch 2 than make their own handheld. Personally I’d love to get their Xbox live or whatever it’s called on the switch 2 as a subscription service.

@LadyCharlie I do love a good doc. I’ll keep an eye on some reviews and get this on the wish list.

@LadyCharlie So they play differently? I’ve only ever played the original GB one and I think one on the DS that had a tower or something.

So if we own Tetris effect, this is still worth grabbing?
