@LinktotheFuture Hey, the only person from back then who still regularly comments! It did in fact release as New Play Control on the Wii even before your comment.
@Bunkerneath It doesn't have simulated gambling. That's just a general description of what games can get a T-rating for. It says that in the article very clearly and say and/or for a reason. And most Nintendo games have that "in-game purchases" tag with no actual in-game purchases.
@Not_Soos Yes, this is just a general description of what T-rating means. As the article says, the "rating summary" where they describe the specific game has not gone live yet.
@Ralizah Why was the 1080p screen a mistake? The game runs on PS4, do it should run better on Switch 2 even if only somewhat well optimized. It's obvious they didn't put the effort in. At least that demo is not the final build, so it's to be better in the end.
@Roger_Brazil The gameplay is vastly different in almost every way. How could this game be MKW DLC? Should a potential new F-Zero game also be MKW DLC?
@Not_Soos Because not all of them are bricking consoles. I've got a cheap and great third party dock for my Switch 1 years ago that always worked perfectly fine.
@Lizuka "with the knowledge it was originally going to be a Zelda game" Source on that? Because this game was spun out of the Captain Toad side levels in 3D World.
@Pat_trick Even after well over 8 years you still think the Switch only sells well because of the novelty? Are you one of those people who always were convinced it was gonna fall of a cliff soon?
@Jedrus_Lilac What exactly is "lazy" there? It's a $60 game + it's DLC. That has been normal pricing for games like this for many years now. Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 are $90 main game + DLC. BotW is $80 main game + DLC.
@AG_Awesome Nobody is livid about anything here. Why do you continue to claim that everyone who's replying to you is angry?
"I often forget people don’t allow that anymore."
All of your replies to me come across like actual ragebait.
Nobody at any point even suggested you're not allowed anything. Nobody at any point got angry about anything.
Stop trolling and stop talking passed my point. It's great that you would have preferred Superstars to get additional content, but the amount you said you'd want is not at all realistic.
But I guess me saying that means I'm angry, infuriated and livid or something.
@AlanaHagues "On the hardware side of things, Switch 2 sales continue to climb as the new console has sold an extra 20k+ units this week compared to last — it shifted 152,165 this week compared to 128,643 last week. That's a nice boost thanks to DK, we reckon."
The Switch 2 sold 71.885 units the previous week. 128k was the week before that. I think you skipped last week's article.
@AG_Awesome "triggered and infuriated". ??? Are you trolling? My very simple point is, that you're acting like you're not asking much at all, despite it being a whole lot. Is it your default responce to people telling you you're being unrealistic to act like they are infuriated?
@AG_Awesome "Would have been all I need."
You're acting like that's not a ton of new content that would basically just be a new game. 8 new boards would be more than any of the three Switch entries have. A few side modes added and you have a full game.
@stinky_t That was only in March 2017 and because the Switch was sold out everywhere. Some people went into the store to buy a Switch and BotW and could only find the latter so they bought it in preparation. Since practically everyone who bought a Switch in March 2017 also bought BotW, the game was 20k copies higher than the console. Not really possible with Bananza as not even close to everyone who has a Switch 2 is buying the game at launch or at all. So even when many people buy the game before the console there are many more who have the console but don't buy the game.
@Bulborb It wasn't at 17 million in October 2017 yet. And 5 million Switch 2's was in June.
Regardless this data here is just about the UK retail. Extrapolating to the whole world based on that never works. It's less Nintendo leaning than most other regions and more digital heavy than almost any other country in the world.
So worldwide Switch 1 or Switch 2 numbers at the time of the game's release mean nothing here.
@Alienfanatic Sony had mass lay offs last year with several studio closures. To be exact they had 21 studio closures over the decades, the exact same as Microsoft.
@Smithicus A demo would present the concept and would be short. Super Mario Odyssey is massive and does basically everything that can be done with cappy as a mechanic, both for capturing and as a platforming aid. A demo would only give a snippet of what can be done.
@FaroreAbhorsen Less than 10 million of the copies Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold were sold through the black friday bundles. Nintendo reports how many bundled games got sold in each fiscal year and with all the other bundles combined it's at most a few million in some years and below 1.5 million in others.
@PerfectFrost Hyrule Warriors was announced for winter, so it could be December but also January or February. @leo13 @electrolite77 Splatoon Raiders is not likely to come out this year.

@wollywoo The first two Custom Robo games from the N64 are already on NSO, but like the originals only in Japan.
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
@darkswabber Mario Super Sluggers is a Wii game. Will probably still come to NSO at some point in the next 10 years though.

Re: Nintendo's Official Camera "Attach Rate" With Switch 2 Revealed For US
@Skippermonkey Mid single digit is around 5%. That's the middle of the single digit range.
@WhiteUmbrella That makes no sense whatsoever.

It's just the camera and it's optional.
