So they're buying up storage options to hold the AI data? I'm confused. And also, everything feels so much easier with AI. I'm glad our (US) government voted to push massive, unregulated funding to that industry in spite of what voters want. They know best!
There will definitely be another sale, either before or after the December holidays and the new year. Do we think this sale is generally better than that one or vice versa?
@SuntannedDuck2 Thank you, I will definitely look at more stuff before buying. And I also wish there were demos. More of them in general. It can really help make a determination for a purchase.
Don't forget everyone: those Nintendo-branded microSD Express Cards will be discounted for Black Friday (US) sales. I assume they will do something similar globally for end-of-year sales.
Aww, that's a nice message. Good for them. And I'm glad they get to take pride now in their work. Deservedly so. I am also concerned like others that this means the Switch 2 upgrades like that are through. Bummer.
So far, they seem to have captured the look well. Since there are so many different iterations of the characters and even settings, it will be interesting to see whether they adapt a specific game or tell an "original" story while sort of mashing together different things from different games. To me, the landscape and Zelda look to be inspired by BOTW, but Link does look more like his Twilight Princess version. Exciting!
@SuntannedDuck2 Oh interesting. That's good insight. I've been thinking of getting one of these, but I was under the impression that 3 was maybe the better title.
@danmonse Now I can't remember how it ends. I saw it a couple times. I really like the newer Apes movies. Particularly with Andy Serkis' Caesar. "War" is excellent. But even Wes Ball's continuation was very good, I thought.
I'm having trouble seeing Impa. I see Zelda, then Link, and then I figure it's Zelda again near the horse.
Also, I'm pretty sure that cloak is just like a poncho the actors wear in between takes to protect their costumes. Especially since they're outside in a forest in New Zealand.
What I want to know is when did the 10 years Microsoft pledged for CoD on Nintendo consoles begin? Because it's already been what, 3? Do we get back pay? Or does it start with the first title released?
Do we think maybe the "sample" label is because of the art on the cartridge not being final? Or maybe they're just trying to tell us that Pokopia is just one example of a GKC as opposed to this being an exclusive process for this game.

Re: Nintendo Has Scheduled Maintenance For 3DS Later Today
They're going to reopen the 3DS eShop, but you have to pay $80 first.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Beefy Switch 2 File Size Has Been Revealed
Maybe the Game-Key Cards should include microSD Express cards in the box. That would help.
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
@foursider I'm with you on all of this, that last point in particular.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
Why not release it on multiple cartridges like they did with the discs on the original PS release?

Re: Rumour: Zelda Movie Production Set Footage Has Supposedly Leaked Online
@danmonse Oh? Who did she play? A human? I'm trying to remember now.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A New Movie Poster
I thought we might get continuous updates through Nintendo Today, based on what he said in the Direct.
Re: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition Physical Release Announced For Switch
Good point about Switch 2 mouse controls. I'd bet it would run smoother, too.
Re: It's Official, Red Dead Redemption Is Coming To Switch 2 This December
This is awesome! Now I just need money!
Re: Red Dead Redemption Has Been Rated For The Switch 2
Can everyone get their GKC "shock" out here? Thanks.
This sounds awesome to me. And I hope we also get 2 at some point.

@JimNorman I Odys-SEE what you did there.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie - Release Date, Cast, Trailers, Everything We Know So Far
@CaptainQuo I highly recommend "Room", if you're comfortable with the plot.
Oh geez. I think I'm only up to like, 30? I'm not sure. Seems I have a LONG way to go...
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie - Release Date, Cast, Trailers, Everything We Know So Far
Well that's just silly. Apes can't breathe in space. Of course they're not in this movie. Psh.
Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami 2 (Switch 2) - One Of The Series' Very Best

Where do we think this LEGO set falls on the Zelda timeline?
Oh, maybe you build the timeline!
Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
What I want to know is when did the 10 years Microsoft pledged for CoD on Nintendo consoles begin? Because it's already been what, 3? Do we get back pay? Or does it start with the first title released?
Re: Nintendo Teases A New Lego 'Legend Of Zelda' Set, Possibly Including Ganon
Plus, that's Ganondorf's line from OoT. I looked it up.
Too bad. I would swoon for the swole one. 😜
Re: Nintendo Teases A New Lego 'Legend Of Zelda' Set, Possibly Including Ganon
@kal_el_07241 Oh, they have already. Just haven't unveiled or released anything yet.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
@Kyloctopus Yeah, the data management is a pain. I mean, first-world problems, but relatively speaking, it is a bit annoying.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Gets March 2026 Release Date, Brand New Trailer Coming This Week
Hopefully a demo gets announced tomorrow as well. This game looks odd, but I'd like to try it out.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Gets March 2026 Release Date, Brand New Trailer Coming This Week
Oh snap, this would be the first Nintendo-published GKC, right?
