Can’t wait to play Wario Land!

Minifigures! These are all very good sets.

Darn, I was hoping it could beat the PS2. Hopefully something drastic happens and it comes out on top.

First part of the title got me excited… and then I read the second part… Still cool there’s a demo in stores though.

This looks like a really good game! It even comes with a cute protagonist too!

🎵 it’s the end of the (gaming) world as we know it🎶

If I had to choose between the two, I’d still go for regular digital unless there’s a preorder bonus or it’s one of my favorite game series. If Nintendo does kill physical and go to GKC or digital, I will switch to GKC.

I enjoyed the demo and it looks like a good game, but it’s nothing I’ll buy. Hope those who do buy it enjoy it.

This is super sad. Not only does this guarantee the PS6 won’t come with a disc drive (if one at all) but it also shows where gaming is headed. We’re going to eventually be forced to pay a lot for SD cards and hard drives to store our digital games, which will only make things more expensive. On top of the rumored $1000 PS6 price, this is not looking like a bright future for PlayStation. I hope Xbox and Nintendo do not follow suit and continue to produce physical game discs/cartridges.

My biggest problem with this is there is no upgrade path. Just like Generations, another game I’m skipping simply because I have it from the last gen console :/

Glad we’re getting new knockout tours. Wonder if there will be one across every course at some point.

Excited to watch it a second time just to see how many easter eggs I can find.

I always love the F4F statues. They always look super nice and polished.

I won’t be getting this but rest in peace to anyone who does wallets

Got Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and CTR Nitro Fueled on sale so I’m playing those.

I’m so glad Aardman is handling this! From Wallace and Gromit to Shaun the Sheep, they’re awesome and I’m sure this show will turn out great

I love Metallic Madness Zone in Sonic Mania (first in Sonic CD). The level layout, gimmicks, and music make it my favorite Sonic Zone. Other notable mentions for me are Casino Night Zone, Green Hill Zone, and Speed Jungle Zone.

Here’s my top 5:
#1: Sonic Frontiers
I thoroughly enjoyed Frontiers on switch 1 (yes, even with the bugs). The open world was awesome and then you had the cyber space levels that go back to 2D and 3D linear platforming. I will get the definitive edition for switch 2 if it ever goes on sale below $30.
#2: Sonic x Shadow Generations
I had always wanted to play Sonic Generations (I almost got the 3DS version not long before SXS Generations was announced) and this exceeded my expectations.
#3: Sonic Superstars
The chaos emerald powers were a great mix to the familiar 2D side scrolling that Sonic fans are used to.
#4: Sonic Mania
I actually didn’t enjoy Mania at first, but that was because I wasn’t familiar with how retro Sonic games were. I quickly warmed up to it and now will play through the game just for fun (although, isn’t that the point?).
#5: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis)
I played through the game on NSO, and it was a great adventure! The music was phenomenal and the levels were the right amount of easy but difficult. Just don’t talk to me about the final boss(es).

I don’t get the hate in the comments. It’s a free trial to a AAA game. The World Cup has started and Nintendo chose this game for their Game Trial. If you don’t want it, don’t download it. I own the game and I’ve enjoyed it plenty without even messing with Ultimate Team.

That’s quite the title there…

I really like the OG design. The sleek black with the blue and orange highlights are perfectly fine for me. A switch 1 limited edition would probably sell really well though (the color schemes of the OG switch). I’m one of those guys who doesn’t care what it looks like as long as it runs (not saying I don’t take care of it, because I do).

This is great! Scalpers are terrible and should be stopped. If only Nintendo could find a way to do this with Pokemon cards…

I like the new designs. The crew looked great in the demo. While I do also like the more cartoony looks, this is a great design for the remake.

The only mechanic that was shown that differentiates it from Pokemon is that you can combine two monsters together to form a more powerful one (which is this game’s way of evolving it looks like [I’ve never played the Dragon Quest Monsters series so I don’t really have a say though]) so a hard pass for me. It is nice to see this game get a switch 1/2 simultaneous release though.

This is the most disappointed I have been after a direct. While this is mainly due to lack of games I was interested in, the ones I were interested in were letdowns. The Pokopia announcement was nice but $35 for 3 new areas? I already spent $70 on the game itself! The DK challenges were nice but it sucks they’re limited time only. Sports resort is not worth it considering most are just recycled from Switch sports. We were given zero information on OoT besides a vague 2026 and I’m slightly annoyed that Minecraft for switch 2 doesn’t have an upgrade pack. It’s not that it was a bad direct, there just weren’t any announcements I was hoping for.

I’m not paying more money for a few new sports. They should’ve made it an upgrade pack imo

It would be amazing if Spyro started to make a comeback with more than one game. I definitely noticed he looked… “older” if you will, in the trailer, but I like the new style. I agree with Yan though, you want something fresh to start your comeback.

I was wondering why it said SNES NSO updated today… guess we know why!

Some ports, Luigi’s Mansion 4, and 3D Mario (it may be too early for that though)

So many good news recently! Minecraft Dungeons 2, Spyro, and a Nintendo Direct!

@abbyhitter Yes. You get the original 3 Spyro games remade from the ground up. I’ve had a blast with them and if you enjoy platformer/collectathons then I’d highly recommend.

This game looks great!

YES! I’ve been wanting a new Spyro game for so long! Can’t wait!!

I’ve played MHS 1+2 (mainly MHS 2) but never played Wilds. When it goes on sale I’ll more than likely pick it up.

Requiem at number one? Debatable but I don’t have a say as I haven’t played it! Bananza or Mario Kart World are my favorites.

While the first year might not have had the blockbuster Nintendo classics people wanted (ex. 3D Mario and Zelda), it’s still worth it in the long run. For $450 (soon to be $500) you can play better switch 1 games as well as switch 2 exclusives. I’ve enjoyed every Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 game I’ve gotten since I got the console (yes, I even enjoyed Welcome Tour) and if you’ve been on the fence and can’t decide if you want it, you should definitely pick it up.

Got it for Christmas last year so it hasn’t been a FULL year but so far there’s no problems cosmetically or internally. I wish I could say the same thing for my OG Switch and New 2DS XL…

Ooh excited! Totally picking this up, unless something at the rumored direct really blows me away

I hope there’s a lot of good game announcements if this is true. My biggest hope is they at least tease the next 3D Mario (title announcement maybe?), but it might be too early for that.

That was something I didn’t know I needed until now.

Me:
My wallet: You have crocs already! You don’t need another pair! Wait what’s this, the new ones have a Yoshi design?

Never tried Rayman Legends so this is exciting to me

Not a bad collection! Will definitely consider picking this up!

This is a good wave. We’ve got cheaper sets and then the more pricier ones. There’s a little bit for everyone this time around (I’m hoping the Super Mario minifigure sets next year are priced like this with some cheap and expensive ones)

The game looks good but for now I’m gonna stick with the original on NSO. Might pick it up if it’s on sale in the future.

I might pick a couple of these up if they’re reasonably priced… but knowing Lego… that’s probably not gonna happen.

@Smithicus I wouldn’t say they were terrible, just questionable. I enjoyed the Drag x Drive demo (I didn’t enjoy it enough to pay $20 for the full version though) and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour isn’t bad, it’s just weird that they decided to charge extra for it (after playing through it I have to say $10 isn’t terrible if you enjoy learning about the tech and like the mini games). I haven’t played Metroid Prime 4, Pictonico, or Everybody 1-2 switch, but from what I see, they aren’t bad games. You just have to be in the target audience (ex. Pictonico is essentially a mobile Wario Ware game).

I hope there’s a free upgrade pack too. I don’t want to pay another $30 for mouse controls and vibrant visuals.

@Pachrisu That’s exactly what I thought!

If it ever goes on sale I might get it but for now I’m good.
