Alpha-2002

Yeah, um, there's a god damn PANDEMIC. People can't even go out and play sports anymore (at least where I live)... and I'm sorry, but Animal Crossing ain't "essential" like food and medicine are.

Note to Nintendo: This is the entire point of digital sales. Hopefully, the eShop will be transformed into something that isn't a complete dumpster fire by the tike this all blows over.

Until then, relax and have a pint. This too shall pass...

All hail Outright, successor to the LJN/THQ bloodline of pee-poor licensed games!

Burnout for me. Possibly Bioshock if the SD card can handle it.

@Doofenshmirtz Doof, be nice! Just because Agent P's hung up his hat doesn't give you carte blanche to be a jerk, alright?

@Anti-Matter I admire ypur positivity, but we're gonna have to disagree here. This is literal crap that never should've been allowed on the storefront. Good God, the eShop is becoming Steam 2.0 at this rate...

@mist

@PBandSmelly Ain't that the truth. besides, all the six-years-olds who would be playing M-rated games on Switch are either enraptured by Fortnite BR, bnusy with one of Nintendo's first-party titles, or fruitlessly hoping for a Call of Duty port.

Note to whatever schmuck allowed this... thing... to go through: When we said we wanted more M-rated games, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE MEANT!

An hour? Yeah, no. Tell Sega to come back when they have something substantial (e.g. WHERE IS YAKUZA) and then we can talk price.

Yeah... this just looks like an overly serious take on stuff like TF2. I'll wait for review s, but I don't think it's for me.

(And speaking of Valve, Half-Life Switch when?)

Super happy about the western selection in particular. Borderlands, Bioshock, AND Burnout? That's my kinda party there.

(Still waiting on that Halo port tho... )

So... no VF6, right?

It's Capcom. Even if it does happen, they'll probably find a way to screw over the port.

@JH64 I mean... if Valve can pull it off, they'll probably actually do it.

Can PETA just, like, die already? (Pleeeeease?)

How about a new IP?

Doom Eternal for me, hopefully.

Just gotta brave the pandemic to get my pre-order first...

Hope he/she gets well soon... this thing sure is no joke.

Possible, but let's get a few more M-rated characters in Smash Bros first before jumping straight into something like MK... including a certain green space marine with a thing for hot, scantily-clad A.Is. (You know the one.)

Only one more shot left, then... so let's male it count!

@mesome713 Do you want Sonic to be stuck as a permanent second fiddle to Mario and/or yet another IP just collecting dust? Because that's what happens if Nintendo buys Sonic.

@Elvie Be sure the Yakuza don't track your locale over Space Channel 5... I've heard they don't take those who try to OutRun them all that well.

Welp, there went that Direct date.

Anyway, temper your expectations for this. As it's centered around Japan, I don't think it'll be much more than JP-exclusive merch and maybe a movie plug.

Actual substantial Western reveals are usually saved for SXSW and/or someone's E3 presser. (A Nintendo Direct is another likely venue.) I'd love to be proven wrong... but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

Uh... I'm gonna pass.

Sega's revealing Sonic news every 20th, so it's probably happening then.

I'll still be tuning in to E3 because A) there's a Direct (Nin), B) Halo Infinite will be revealed to the world (MS) and C) Devolver's livestream is gonna be absolutely wild.

@KingBowser86 ...I think we ALL know who I'll be rooting for.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED:
Ambitious but Rubbish

We haven't gotten many edutainment games on Switch, so it'll be interesting to see how the genre does.

Even on platforms which aren't even their own, Nintendo is still that gaming company.

@the_beaver The fact that Ninty and MS are on much, MUCH better terms than Disney and Ninty lends credence to this theory.

Uh, yeah... How is this a bad thing?

• Win for Platinum (more platforms = more fans)
• Win for Nintendo (assuming 3 is still a timed exclusive, it's FREE ADVERTISING FOR THE SWITCH)
• Win for Sega (as owners of the IP, they get a cut no matter what)

@Rpg-lover Shall I invite our... mutual friend to the proceedings on your behalf?

I wouldn't even buy this thing for FIVE dollars. And they ask for 40... this is atrocious.

I shall be watching this with intense interest...

@sikthvash Is that before of after Nintendo starts making PCs? 😉

...aaand we just crossed it. Ladies and gentlemen... IT'S HAPPENING!

Possibly naive on the surface, but I wouldn't worry. Neither Xbox Series X One X Launch Edition nor PS5 are portable, soooo...

"I don't know what my next mission will be"

(grabs megaphone) NEW IP! NEW IP! NEW IP! NEW IP!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mario Kart 9? Could it... could it be?

Ad render looks iffy, but it still looks like a grand old time at the movies for all.

Also, even if it sucks, it's great to see Carrey going full Carrey again!

(PS: Nintendo Life, bet on San Francisco... you won't be disappointed. 😜)

No. No no no no no.

Think bigger, Sony. The world's waiting for a true Switch competitor... something that forces Nintendo to innovate, answer consumer complaints, and even create a more powerful, more reliable second model.

Only one corporation could do this in the past... and unless the Surface Duo has a physical cartridge system, only one can ever do it again.

Sony, if you're reading this: Build the Vita successor. It's time.

My heart says Spielberg, Dean DeBlois or even Edgar Wright for the director's chair... my brain says it's some French no-name directing on behalf of Melandari.

Hey, who knows? I like Minions (in small doses) and the Grinch wasn't half-bad, so... maybe?

Also: Dwayne Johnson as Bowser and Tina Fey as Peach. PLEASE.

Not pictured: Microsoft/Xbox, Tencent, Nicalis, Devolver Digital, CD Projekt Group, and (potentially) Valve Corp.

Sadly deceased: OG Telltale, Starbreeze(?).

False friends: EA, Capcom, and Konami.

Increased shield sizes for my mains and nada mas. Good.

I'll hold off till we get at least Character 1 confirmed. Mii Fighters don't do anything for me.

@Itglows "mario galaxy 3"

Don't... don't give me hope...

@Bloodmetal Off topic, but do you like your Tesla? I was thinking of getting one when I got older - any advice?

And I'm up for watching one, Carey!

Oh hello, gorgeous! You'll make a fine addition to my collection... assuming Best Buy has you in stock, of course.
