@shoeses Or let us play these games on NSO.

This is censorship! Let Game Freak give us the game they envisioned!!
Oops, sorry. Wrong comments section.

That feature where it suggests something else is funny though. And I agree. 'Dick' is a pretty common name in USA.

@Anti-Matter Oh my gosh, then yes! It sounds like that is the inspiration for this game. How exciting! Seems extra cool for you, too.

@Anti-Matter Oh, yes? What makes you say that? Would you say the starters fit with the region contextually? Do owls, Pomeranians, and geckos run amok?

Always fire, for me. Their character design and naming constructions are almost always on point.
Oh, but those are definitely lashes on Gecqua. There's even an "eyelash gecko" or more correctly, a crested gecko. They are found on an island in the south Pacific. Could that be the locale inspiration? Though the pom doesn't seem to work there.

@link3710 Right. It's a weird feature that they've now boxed themselves into. And I think we all suffer for it, honestly.

Those names are absurd.

Methinks we will be surfing in the game, via wind and waves.

@Sylamp

Any word on whether you can use the Game Boy Jukebox to import songs for this? It's an amiibo, right?

I'm not trying to trash the people that are happy for this. I'm glad you get to enjoy this feature. But if this is the reason we can't have the old titles on NSO, then screw Home. I don't care about it personally. And what other series does this with your RPG characters?

Oh my gosh, what a silly pun! XD

Man, I really wish we could get Red/Blue on NSO. They told us that the XD game won't utilize Home, so who cares? Just let us play those games again!

Hold on, hold on...

So this thing costs ~60 bucks!?!? You have to carry around 45(!) tiny cartridges with you, that each play a song "or sound effect" from the game. It DOES NOT have a headphone jack. AND it requires 3 watch batteries???

If it were April 1, I would believe this. This may be the most ridiculous announcement I have ever seen from TPC/Nintendo. And I remember the Pokémon Go Plus+.

@Robot99 Yeah, I'll wait too, if it's a sequel. Seems strange.

@Dom_31 Well, Stadium doesn't allow that, right? So... :/

Also, they didn't even mention Colosseum...

I wasn't completely BLOWN away by this, but it looks cool.

I legitimately thought this was a Game Boy Mini. Oh man, this is such a weird decision.

@Ursaking This is good to know, thank you!

That video was awesome. They make very good videos celebrating their history. It's great that they made one for each Pokémon, but they are basically all the same just with a different Pokémon inserted and their matching color. But the animations in the video were something else!

I tendo to buy Nintendo systems at launch - I have since at least Wii, maybe DS. And then I hold onto the original models - definitely the DS. I always get frustrated when they do those new models, especially if they "improve" them. But I don't see the point in trading in a system or even selling it. The value depreciates quickly for those sales. So, I "stick it out" with OG models. Not that I'm disappointed.

Yeah, this looked cool. But am I understanding correctly that only X-Men: The Aracade Game has online multiplayer? That seems like an odd decision.

@Kisrah Awesome, thank you!

"Give them all that they can drink, and it will never be enough."

Yes! Thanks for the great review. I'm very excited for this. It's awesome that we're getting this huge, modern game day and date with everyone else. I hope we all get out and support this on Switch 2! It seems like we will. I plan to grab that bundle.

So how much does it matter if you haven't really played other Fallout games? Is this the "right" entry point into the franchise?

@ElkinFencer10 Sweet!

Yay, thanks for reviewing this! I'm interested.

@JimNorman Just wanted to mention that Nintendo's (of America) website says this is only a 60-minute presentation.

@ElkinFencer10 All on Switch 2? Cool! I didn't see that. So like, Quality, Balanced, and Performance?

@ElkinFencer10 Okay, and we're getting 30?

@rjejr I've heard of those people, yes... 🙄

I feel like that looked pretty good. But I'm sure I don't have as discerning of an eye.

@rjejr Exactly! 😂

That's what I keep hearing. It will be very interesting to see how it turns out. But they do seem confident and dedicated, so I'm optimistic that we'll get a strong version.

@DaniPooo XD Wow, a throwback to this thread!

Aaaaaaand scene. For my next performance, I will play a (now-lapsed) Nintendo fan angry about Game-Key Cards.

Finally, Nintendo puts out a new IP. Glad to hear it's selling well!

@rjejr Haha, that's what I was thinking. What if it's only possible on the menu screen??

Oh man, I probably know all of these tracks so well. I played a lot of this on Game Boy. I don't know if I ever beat it... Hmm...

I would like a refund for reading that person's writing.

@KayFiOS Valid. I mean, at some point, they're going to stop making games for Switch 1. I think their goal with all Switch 2 Editions is to encourage existing players to carry their Switch 1 games over to the new system with new reasons to enjoy them.

@Tyranexx Ohhhhh, that makes sense now.

Lucky! Yeah, same for me.

@TrueBlueYoshi Ohhh, okay. Yeah, me too! I still haven't played Wonder - only a demo - so I thought this could be a cool additional reason to get it.

Oh yay, you guys are reviewing all of these! Thank you! I'm getting very excited for this.

@Gen4Fan I think you're confusing Treehouse Live with The Price Is Right.

@Pillowpants I'd push it, if I had anyone to receive it on the other end!

@KBuckley27 You're right, they're probably actively trying NOT to reveal first-party titles.

@Nintoz Oh, good question! Then I would actually get to play them if I get this.

@TrueBlueYoshi Is there a single-player aspect? Was it challenges for existing levels or something?

@Tyranexx Saying the whole title IS the Ring Fit Adventure (workout).

Unfortunately, the new content is only online with friends. If you have those, then maybe it will be a good time.

This is cool but also... random? Especially for Wonder, since that game was already released. I'm sure the multiplayer stuff will be showcased well in a Treehouse Live. But who do they think/know watches these things? I guess it will probably convert new sales.
Anyway, I wonder if we'll get additional announcements. I'm putting my money now on new Amiibo reveals.
And yeah, 40 minutes per game is kinda wild. You'd think they'd preview more titles for 80 minutes. But whatever, I'll watch.

@Hank_Scorpio Ah, beat me to it!
