This feels like a breath of fresh air after the months of milktoast reveals. Especially since the first Fighter's Pass was pretty boring (I feel like Banjo was exciting only to those old enough to remember those two games, because otherwise he's pretty obscure).
Makes sense, he's one of the most recognizable/iconic game characters of all time at this point. It's easy to be salty but you gotta remember how Minecraft can be considered a 'classic' game now
Judging by that interview, Atari (like the rest of the gaming industry really) doesn’t understand what makes Nintendo a success time and time again: the software, not the hardware! The games are always the most important part, not the processing power or even the ‘portability’.
My Joy-Con drift has essentially rendered my entire system unplayable in handheld mode, and I’ve had my system for 2 years (bought in December 2017). The fact that Joy-Con are more expensive than other game controllers for other consoles and they offer less reliability than the aforementioned rival controllers is really off-putting.
@companyoflosers What I mean to say is that this new device is completely pointless from a software and hardware perspective (other than to make money, of course). It would just be nice to get something new for the next dedicated handheld the Big N releases (of which the Switch is not) rather than this thing.
It’s not really a “switch” anymore, is it? I would honestly prefer if they just made a brand new dedicated handheld with exclusive games rather than whatever this is.
I remember when they originally announced that all the DLC would come free to early adopters of the game. As an owner of Shovel Knight for Nintendo 3DS, I’m really hoping that King of Cards and Showdown will release on the platform, as according to the original estimate back in I believe 2014.

Re: Minecraft's Steve Revealed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter
This is borderline more exciting than some random Xenoblade character or something obscure like that

Nintendo Cinematic Universe/Meleeverse?
Re: Mediatonic Would Love To Bring Fall Guys To Other Platforms Further Down The Line
IDK if people are really passionate about it or if the Fall Guys ad team just bought out every major Nintendo YouTuber.
Re: We've Had LEGO Mario, Could This Fan-Made Breath Of The Wild Link Be Next?
Why do they keep making the lamest Nintendo sets? Can’t we get just a regular play set once in a while?
Re: Community: What Do You Think Of Lego Super Mario, Then?
Eh. It’s kind of lame that they didn’t make ‘regular’ sets from the theme instead.
Re: 'Anti-RPG' PlayStation Title Moon Arrives On Switch eShop This August

Re: EA Set To Launch "Multiple" Titles On Nintendo Switch In 2020
I hope they port the Star Wars games over, they’re all so good
Re: Random: Switch Fans React To EA's Partnership With Google Stadia
The fact that Battlefront II and Jedi: Fallen Order haven’t been ported to Switch yet is a travesty.
Re: Random: This Switch User Interface Mock-Up Has Us Longing For More Features

My first 3D Mario! I’ve spent more hours with this game than any other game in my life, and I don’t regret it at all! Truly a masterpiece!
Re: Funko Eager To Produce Nintendo-Themed Pop Figures
Mike Jones from StarTropics would make a cool FUNKO! POP figure. Yoshi would also be neat, as well as of course the Mario Brothers.
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Compares Original Link's Awakening To The Switch Version
