I got caught in the hype train for Silksong about 2 years ago. This has been one of the ugliest game cycles I have followed. It does seem that it is all finally coming to an end though, which is a relief.

That original art style has 100% more charm than the soul-less copy-paste generic version of the newer game.

The fact that Switch still pulls a sizable % in the multiplats even now surprises me.

This feels like something Sony would do and Astrobot feels like something Nintendo would do.

Wrapping up the Sea of Stars DLC

I think it would be really awesome to see certain Nintendo titles make the jump to PC so more people can have access to games. XCX is an excellent candidate for this and it would elevate exposure to the series. But knowing Nintendo, it's a move that won't happen unless they experience a flop in their businesses.

Honestly I thought Chris Pratt would play every single role in the upcoming Zelda movie

I'm having a game night party that weekend. But I don't think any of my friends or myself are buying the Switch 2 anytime soon

Those are some of the nicest pre-order items I've seen in a while

I still won't watch SGF. Waste of time

So in a nutshell, Switch 2 games will cost $70, $10 to upgrade, while Switch 1 games will remain at $60 all will a few exceptions. Makes sense, that's just the current industry standard. I expect this to be the same for Metroid Prime 4 & other games as well. As for why MK World is $80, it's a fomo tactic to scare people into buying the console bundle at $500. I really don't think Nintendo will revisit the $80 price tag very often except for some of their tentpole heavy hitters (like the next Legend of Zelda, Smash Bros, etc).

Really don't see why Persona 4 needs to be remade, Golden holds up pretty well

I welcome all directs & news! Even if Pokemon Presents are just mostly mobile stuff. I'm very curious about Pokemon's direction towards Switch 2

I'm surprised we got a date reveal today for Legends ZA. A bit anti-climatic, I guess Nintendo was still figuring out dates. Would really like to know the rest of the fall lineup with the upcoming Nintendo Direct!

The Ninja are on top of their game!

Game Key Card has turned out to be the ugliest thing about the Switch 2. It's really killing my excitement for the new generation

Give us the full trilogy on a real cartridge SquareEnix! Your greed knows no bounds

I genuinely don't understand, who hasn't bought GTA V and MK8 at this point for them to sell this well at this point in time with sequels so close.

SquareEnix sucks. They really aren't going to be consumer-friendly, are they?

Insert "I love you and all you guys" Xenoblade joke here

I never played Galaxy 2. Maybe it's because Nintendo forgot this game existed.

I really like this. There's enough negativity in this world, sometime people want escapism and to just enjoy their passions without bad thoughts.

Second Breakfast games is actually a brilliant company name

It seems that more and more people are saving money for Switch 2, so all console sales are down. Still surprised by how well the Switch has continued to sell, only in the last few weeks has it tapered off.
The new question is, will Switch still continue to outsell the PS5 after Switch 2 launches?

Nintendo opens the floodgates with Mario Kart World at $80. Microsoft soon followed suit. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the standard price for all games in less than 2 years, the industry is going to rush to adopt this standard.

The difference between MKW & Borderlands 4 at least is that MKW will never go down in price other than the occasional sale. Borderlands 4 will be heavily discounted after 2 years.

This game looks good and I'm relieved the framerate issues won't be a problem, but I hope this is the last entry in the Wilds era for Zelda. From the BOTW reveal in 2014, it's been over 11 years now and the Zelda series needs something fresh.

I'm going to be a later adopter for Switch 2. Originally I wasn't very interested in the system, but the April 2nd Direct already hooked me with games I'll buy for sure like Kirby Air Riders, DK Bananza, and HW Age of Imprisonment. I still have a good backlog on my Switch 1 so I'm in no rush, plus I'm perfectly content to play Metroid Prime 4, Legends ZA, Silksong, and all the transitionary cross-gen titles on Switch 1 for the time being.

I thought this game was already leaked a few weeks ago? The trademarks just add extra evidence to that leak

I'm a little confused on this and not as well informed, but I do think it's pretty gross for AI to replace the likeness of an actor without proper permissions, even after deceased.

Nintendo is starting the process of shepherding the consumers to the all digital future. Switch 2 will be the last true physical games-based console.

Considering the Switch 2 is pushing the shift to digital, I hope Nintendo shares more digital game sales data starting this upcoming generation

Ah yes, the perfect game for mouse controls

Part of me wants to see a Xenoblade 4, part of me wants to see a brand new IP. For the latter, it could really attract a massive following, the Switch 2 is ripe for new IP and Monolith Soft is the perfect developer to take advantage of it.

NGL, I'd welcome a dating app that's more focused for gamers.

Square Enix is the company least likely to support Nintendo with physical releases. Still, if this runs natively digital on the Switch 2 console, I guess that's an improvement?

Probably the only major SE true physical releases we're getting on the Switch 2 are the Chrono Trigger remake and Dragon Quest XII.

Nintendo is going to hate the gaming community with this decision. It's one thing a vocal minority was clamoring for but the majority won't really use. And the people that do will criticize it.

This is literally the most pointless remaster. It barely looks better than the original, takes out features, it's a gamekey card, and would have been a golden opportunity to bundle it with the sequel but it's only the first game.

It's Pokemon. Sometimes dumb fun is good enough despite the jank, especially to little Timmys & their parents who will not know better.

Metroid Prime 4, Silksong, Switch 2, GTA VI release date confirmation. 2025 checking off a lot of empty boxes.

I tend to skip every other Nintendo home console. Switch 2 might be the exception, but even then, I'm not buying on day 1.

Nintendo opened Pandora's box with $80 MK World.

Still all-in on Xenoblade, pretty much until the Switch 2 launch

It's happening, there's just been too many signs pointing to a re-release/remake for this year

@Ichiban Agreed, Microsoft buying studios and developers has been awful for gaming, it's killed off a lot of legacy IPs and put a lot of people out of work.

Considering how little news we've had of the game, that's no surprise. But it's really nice to get a formal release date, that strongly signifies that the May 2026 date is hard set. Sadly, it's very likely this game ends up being $100 though

To this day, the GC Controller is still my all time favorite

Silksong is going to release on or around June 8th.

I'll gladly pay $80 for a game, especially one that I own fully. But I draw the line at this BS, easily the worst thing to come out the the Switch 2 generation

This looks truly awesome!! A great appetizer before Switch 2 launches

It's probably day and date with other consoles.
