@Balladeer Ouch. XD I've never played it. Is the arrow a big mechanic for the game? Does that indicate which way you're rolling or something?

Also, "Universal Gravitation" is a ridiculous and terrible name choice.

That's what the date revolves around? Oh my gosh. I saw that mentioned elsewhere; I didn't know it was related to the Alien movie franchise. Good grief...

I really need to get Isolation.

@DominionGamma Yes, but far less people would have followed your lead. Even PS5 and Xbox probably make SOME compromises for the sake of reasonable sales potential.

Does this really get people excited when they tease nothing? I mean, technically, they teased SOMETHING, but who can even guess what it is? I dislike these extremely vague drops. There's nothing here. They barely even tickle the nostalgia nerve.

@link3710 Wow. Okay, so yeah, there you go then! Ouch.

Yaaaaaaassss. I wonder what the price will be. How much was Shovel Knight?

Awesome news. Too bad about the subscription for those that already have it. I wonder if that's Nintendo or SE. Is it 50% off initially? Or forever? I assume "subscription" means it's a recurring fee.

Also, is this free to download and then you pay a subscription? Or do you buy the game and pay to play online? If it's free to download, I could try it for a month, at least.

Oh my gosh, I forgot, another game I want to get at some point. DX

Can't stop, won't stop!

Those cakes are so cool! Cheers to them.

It's a little weird. But maybe they're adding the game soundtracks because they have the movie score on the platform. And it's still out in theaters and all that. It would be weirder if we didn't have access to those OSTs on Nintendo Music yet Spotify did. Plus, we get Wii and Switch versions. We do have more tracks though. Perhaps they didn't include the little chimes and menu sounds and whatnot for Spotify. I'm still hoping we can get the movie soundtracks at some point. Though if Nintendo is only releasing music on the app that they wholly own, then maybe that will not happen.

@Olmectron Yeah, that's what I'm thinking/hoping too. We've had this happen for many games before. Good call on the recent, big title though.

Well, we almost got a Call of Duty.

@ElRoberico Capitalism is ruining everything.

@FloodStew Aw, darn. But that's a good point! As long as they can make it work technically, I'll bet they want it to be there.
Different company and game and all that, but 007 is coming to S2. And that looks demanding.
Are there really rumors for GTA VI? Wow! I agree, I really hope both are there at some point. Soon, ideally.

@Glassneedles Okay, so the other consoles naturally have higher resolutions or whatever, but it's not like the Switch has gotten some severely compromised version? We're just talking about the game not looking that impressive?

So, are the visuals disappointing because it was downgraded for Switch 2? Or would that sentiment be consistent across all versions of the game?

This looks so amazing! My issue will be having a partner to play it with.

@LastFootnote You could go through their website in their Direct archive. You may be able to search for Directs on Switch 2's News feed, as well. Then you could either wishlist them from the article, or it would probably take you to a customized list within the eShop.

Nice, cool list!

Wow, thank you Annapurna!

@molkom Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, hopefully it doesn't go the way of Borderlands 4. What a shame that was.

Agh, you're killing me! It comes out on my birthday, so I was hoping for a really cool birthday gift. Alas, it was not meant to be. );

I guess this lessens the chances of say, GTA VI, coming to Switch 2.
On the other hand, we have seen many instances of this happening only to find out later in a Direct that the game will also be coming to Nintendo's console. So, you never know!

This is the trailer I had expected with the release date. But cool! This actually looks really fun!

@StorminNorman Have we had more than one delay?

@StorminNorman Ha! I hope not. Maybe we'll get an update soon.

@idkmyname Nah, not important enough. Plus, we'll find out in the Direct about the new Yoshi amiibo. And the roguelite mode.

Oh my gosh, Direct coming!

@JHDK They have those????

@Hwatt This is kind of where I'm at. It looks fun.

@MyUsernameWasTaken Oh yeah, you're probably right. Unfortunately.

@MyUsernameWasTaken Haha, no harm, no foul! Yeah, either way, it looks amazing. Those would be neat to receive.

Double Dragon-type game for the sisters.

@hanzel Yep, all fair.
And oh yes. I'm quite looking forward to Zelda. I hope it will be great.

@N00BiSH Well, this has been fun. Enjoyed the intellectual debate. ✌🏻

Was Ecco Jr. a math-based game?

I'd really like to have a chance to play Guard.
I don't know why they can't create an original StarFox game and why we all mostly keep playing the same one over and over.
They should call the sequel "Star Fox Minus Zero."
Good call on MK8 - bring anti-gravity to StarFox!

@N00BiSH Because it's been done before? That's the usual complaint people have with movies, and I suspect would also be the complaint if they did what you're suggesting here.

Yeah, it could be defensive. I guess he's saying that at least they're trying to make more movies instead of staying in their lane (so-called), a lane that may be contributing to a decline in those kinds of movie interactions. He's probably also calling out the responses for being particularly harsh, as in unfairly so. Which I agree with. To be sure, critics can (and do) make whatever judgments and arguments they want. And my own analysis here is also subjective, but I think some of the reviews of the film have been incredibly heavy-handed and scathing. Like, if it's just a light-plot movie that moves lightning-quick and drops constant easter eggs, okay. That stuff could be better. But is it really BAD because of that? I don't know.
Also, I did see this translated differently on another site, so maybe some of that is being misconstrued. I wish he would explain why he felt that the sequel would be better received, more specifically. I would be interested to hear that. Because he makes it sound like they took the notes and tried to improve. But the consensus seems to be that it was more of the same if not supercharged.

@hanzel I think there is also truly a collective negativity around them that festers in message boards and comments sections like this one. People love jumping on a bandwagon.

@Dev-N I hope for that one, they call it "The Super Mario Bros. 3 Movie," just to make everyone's heads explode.

@N00BiSH This is a Sun-level hot take. I remember somewhat enjoying the movie when I was little, but mostly for the (strained) nods to the video games. And I had no idea what was going on, really.
Also, sorry, and I'm not trying to pick a fight here, but that's an incredibly broad plot outline. And like, how are you envisioning that for a Super Mario Bros. franchise? I think that could come off as weird and inaccessible to a wider audience. Do the Sonic movies get these kinds of criticism? They have a bit more character development. But they're mostly silly goof-offs with nods to the games. And those are more so "fish out of water" plots. I think they're fun though.

I guess they picked Performance Mode over Quality Mode. 😜
Just kidding. I liked it.

It's weird that this wasn't a full overview trailer. Though I wonder if we will now get a drip feed of content on Nintendo Today until Raiders' release.

I agree that it could be a tad disappointing to have just more of the same. But I generally like all of the Splatoon stuff. I haven't played Side Order. Hopefully this is at least different enough to be a good time for all.

Somehow, variable pricing returned.

I wonder if this means it's lighter on content? It has multiplayer though. Online, even! Though probably only with friends. I was kind of thinking it would be another roguelike, but I guess they did that with the third game's expansion. Unless that was a first attempt. Anyway, cool!

And yeah, the box art is wicked.

@neil9000 Oh, okay. And Isolation is like a stealth survival game, right?

@Antraxx777 Thank you!! 😃

@OrtadragoonX Okay, that's a bummer.

Is this the same kind of game as Isolation? I still haven't played that yet.
