AnnoyingFrenzy

I've been meaning to pick this up on Steam, might as well wait for the Switch 2 physical now.

Don't care what the critics say, everything I've seen says GOTY in my eyes. Will be playing day one.

Pretty obvious Nintendo is positioning the amiibo line as collector's display pieces rather than additional game features like they used to be, hence the increase in price and quality/size of the figures and the decrease in functionality.

I hope it gets a 3rd teaser trailer thats once again completely different from the other ones.

Rosalina taking down Megaleg was awesome, but they're really setting the bar high for when Daisy, the most actiony of the princesses, makes her debut.

Rare Replay is such an obvious money maker

I wonder what the landscape is going to look like regarding Game Key Cards this time next year. My prediction is that its going to go the way of "code-in-a-box" and get mild groans of dissatisfaction and eye-rolls due to them just becoming another fact of life.

I won't be picking it up because the main appeal with this and the last one is the story relating to the current world of Zelda, which I didn't care for. The original Hyrule Warriors was very fun, I put over 500 hours on it between Wii U and Switch, but I don't feel compelled to pick AoC or AoI up.

Pre-ordered this back in February. Can't come soon enough.

Calm before the storm that is next week I feel

One of my favorite things about this game was watching twitter go from absolute revulsion about the games existence to stanning their top waifus and discussing the meta in the span of about 24 hours.

I like the people saying things like "I hope the sales of this flop hard" like this is some release you can buy in your local Walmart. Like guys, this is VIRTUAL BOY on NSO. If you think Nintendo has any grand ambitions with this I have a bridge to sell you. Being NSO + expansion pass exclusive and requiring a replica headset and, again, being VIRTUAL BOY should clue everyone in that is solely a release meant for hardcore Nintendo fans and not the general public, thus Nintendo is eyeing extremely limited sales with this one.

FODLAN EMBLEM AGAIN. FEED ME MORE.

Bubsy is probably the only collection where the games being terrible are a selling point.

Square, please, learn how to name your games. I'm begging you.

That's it?! No Smash!?

ACE ATTORNEY 7 OUT OF THE BLUE!

I personally try not to form para-social relationships with the VAs of characters I like. I agree with some of the other comments I've seen, its really not that big of a deal. I'm sure Samantha will be able to find additional voice acting work and/or has plenty in savings to survive. Not too mention since they hired four people to replace her that means more people getting paid no?

My original Switch 1 Pro Controller never drifted or had any obvious issues. It was my favorite way to play the Switch (especially since the joy-cons had connectivity issues when not attached to the console). I'm not worried about the Switch 2 Pro Controller at all.

Say what you will about Nintendo, but I can't think of a single time in recent memory where Nintendo officially announced a game and ended up canceling it outright. At the very least I can trust them to deliver what they tell me (eventually).

The sad part about stories like these is that the community will forget about it in a week and go back to complaining about how intermission tracks are ruining their hobby.

Yeah, i used by existing logitech C920 camera that I got for work to get all three medals in the minigame in Welcome Tour.

It's one thing for Grant, but lets be real here, its not Grant Kirkhope that this is a major issue for. The guy isn't going to be lacking in job offers or miss having his name enshrined in fans' hearts because his name isn't in the credits for a game he technically didn't work on. No, the real issue with this policy is for up and comer or lesser known composers that could use the exposure. There are a few criticisms of modern Nintendo that come across as more fandom whining that genuine criticisms, but this is not one of them. Really no excuse in my eyes for not giving credit where its due.

I wonder if when Totaka inevitably retires someone will continue to put it in or if the song will retire with him

Never got the OLED, so I'm coming in from the OG Switch and I must say I think the screen is a massive upgrade!

Reminder that some people legitimately spun the hamster wheel for all the coins in Super Paper Mario instead of playing the actual level.

Nintendo should go back into the Love Hotel business. Nothing sets the mood more than inviting your special someone for a night in the Wario room.

Finally I can hide all the normal video games and proudly display only hentai. Now everyone will know I'm a man of class.

Got Mine! Not the Mario Kart version, just the basic 449 one, but order secured nonetheless!

Pre-ordered for Switch 1. Not against the idea of Game-Key Cards, but I'll always opt for a full physical when available.

I would love for them to bring these games back! Either as a remake Crash and Spyro style or as a new entry! It's never going to happen though.

@ManaOwls It reminds me of how a lot of TV remotes these days have dedicated buttons for subscription services like Netflix and Hulu.

I'm willing to bet most people complaining about the key-cards would not have said a word if all of them were digital only eshop games.

....people remember that Switch 1 only had 32 Gb carts right? I remember there being a fair amount of relative disappointment every time a major release had a download code, cloud version, or only part of the game on the cartridge, but this is a lot more doom and gloom for something I would expect us all to be used to by now no? The Switch 1 seemed to do just fine with the public despite the cartridges and there were plenty of 3rd party games that did release in full physically.

That's 100% what I figured they would be, otherwise why have that huge disclaimer text on the front of the box saying it included both separately? Most of them would be the same price as buying the Switch cart and then the upgrade pack anyway. Just another minor disappointment about it not being on the cart, but overall a non-issue imo.

@Athropos Yup, I'd like to have a physical game too! But since that literally doesn't exist your choice is either a digital game permanently tied to the console or a game card that activates a digital game on multiple consoles.

@HammerKirby So you're basically saying this is just a new name for something that already exists currently? I don't remember there being THIS much backlash for those.

@Athropos Okay? Just buy the digital version then if that bothers you. You can't play physical games without the card either.

I think Game Keys are better than codes in a box at least. From what I understand you can at least lone them out and trade them and the case isn't useless plastic.

Just like everyone else here it seems, COLD case and Tokimeki Memorial were the most interesting ones that I would get probably if brought westward.

NOT DEAD YET BAYBEEEE!

Looks amazing to me! Gave me MP2 vibes which was my favorite in the series! My hype is still through the roof! Can't come soon enough!

The real Silksong was the friends we made along the way.

Emio was very good so Im happy to see it get recognition.

Another fine addition to my collection

And then there's me, who didn't even know there was a Wi-Fi 2 through 5.

Out of curiosity, does anyone here actually browse through digital storefronts to find games? I ask because I never do. With the exception of Steam Discovery Queue, I always get games based on advertising, word of mouth, reviews, "hidden gems lists" etc. etc.

Kind of neat information, adding Brothership and Jamboree to wikipedias list of "Best Selling Switch Games" confirms at least 99 games that have passed 1 million on the system. 21 have passed 10 million. 9 have passed 20. 4 beyond 30. 2 surpassed 40 and of course MK8 passed 50 AND 60. Very impressive.

@OorWullie I suppose you got me there, Pikmin or Metroid Prime with mouse control could be nice, but it just does not look like a good option regardless to me, purely due to form factor. Unless they release a standalone mouse accessory like on the SNES lol

I just don't see that many games utilizing it because wouldn't that force the player to have access to a flat surface for put the joycon on? Not to mention that game would not be able to be played handheld. And I don't know anybody that was like "Man, this form fitting mouse for my computer is too sleek, wish I had a hard uncomfortable rectangle to slide around my desk instead." Perhaps someone else can explain the angle where this would be useful? Because I just can't see it.

You can definitely see how its built upon 8's foundations, just like how 8 was off of 7, but it still looks like its going to be its own thing.
