Great to be able to play this now without having to go through a hassle. It looks like a lot of fun.

@Madao It's relative to cost of living.

That's the fiscal year ending March 2024 btw if I'm not mistaken.

@VHSGREMLIN The official video showed it, so it is confirmed.

@Liam_Doolan Thank you very much.

@Liam_Doolan From VGC: "The first teaser for the original Switch amassed 19.5m during the same two-day window, and was later delisted."

That is actually a mistake by VGC. The wayback machine link they shared shows 19.5 million views on November 3rd, two weeks after the trailer was uploaded, not two days. After two days it was at 13.8 million views. The Switch 2 trailer is a good deal ahead.

@Koffeeking0407 Thank you. That is helpful.

@Koffeeking0407 Ok listen: 57,40€ is 59$. There's no way you think 14$ and 57€ is the same thing jfc. The Euro is also not just German currency.

One is NTDOY and the other is NTDOF. The difference is complicated, I don't quite get it, as I'm not well versed in stock exchange and all those terms are quite complicated, but one is basically four times the other.

@Koffeeking0407 Idk what tf you are on about, but I just linked you something that shows their shares being 59$ and asked you what that is.

@Koffeeking0407 And what is this:

@sanderev Shares went sharply up right before the reveal (to an all time high btw) and then went back down again right after that. It was obviously because the reveal trailer.

@Koffeeking0407 Idk where you got that 10-16$ from, but it's been over 50$ for a while, 58$ right now. They did a stock split, before which it was over 400$ and then was 40$ and then has gone up since then.

@N00BiSH You're a gamer if you play video games regularly. You're a gamer.

@Chibi_Manny Nah, Mario Kart Live is Mario Kart 10 then. This is Mario Kart 11.

Genuinely I think Tour is just a spin off.

@Zaruboggan Btw, there already is a Donkey Konga 3, released in Japan only in 2005.

@YunoboCo Stop acting like it looks awful.

@8bit-Man Don't listen to him, he's trolling. It's not Mario Kart 8. It looks different to 8 in almost every way. Different character models, different kart designs, completely new track, different boost pad design etc. @BaldB3lper78 Stop trolling. Or have you not even taken a single closer look at it?

@Dogorilla Maybe you would want this for the new games? Have you thought about that?

@VHSGREMLIN Nobody has delayed anything.

@Craigsouthern That sounds like victim blaming.

@UltimateOtaku91 Nobody's complaining. It's a warning that there is a higher risk of getting hacked.

@Luminous117 There is no begging and pleading going on anywhere here. They're legally covering themselves from any of the mentioned security issues that may happen with that statement. I imagine pretendo would be easier to hack and steal everyone's Nintendo account data, than if Nintendo still had their servers running.

@dr-ghost Betrayed them? Because they didn't support it for longer or what? Should they have released Switch games on the Wii U for a couple years or what?

@Olliemar28 Question: Why didn't you include the whole top 30 here when Famitsu has done so?

@John_Deacon Echoes of Wisdom is way way ahead of Link's Awakening in the same timeframe and has a higher digital share on top of that. It has already outsold like half the franchise in Japan retail alone.
@The_Pixel_King Same goes to you.

@Ultimapunch Unlike those other online services, NSO is not going to stay tied to the Switch. It's not a service that is intrinsically tied to the current Switch by it's very nature. It's going to continue on Switch 2, together with people's Nintendo accounts and everything. Even when your Switch at some point in the future in 10 or more years can't play games online anymore, NSO will still not be shut down.

@Ultimapunch "NSO will still have to be shut down at some point."

Why? For what reason would they have to shut the whole service down? The end of civilisation?
Give me an actual reason.

I will probably buy it eventually on a sale for 40€ or so.

@Chibi_Manny That is just in the US specifically.

@Tasuki The game is still launching on Switch.

@jesse_dylan The SNES version? You think this is the same game as the first DKC?

@-wc- These leaks also include a logo.

@-wc- Are you serious?

Regardless, the comment I responded to said: "Also why should Nintendo suddenly create a new Wii U situation that with confusing the majority of its customers? Why should this "Switch 2" looking to 99.8% exactly the same as the original Switch?"

The leaks in no way make it look like a "Wii U situation" as it being called Switch 2 on it's own would make that nothing alike.
And yes, those are actual legitimate leaks.

@Justaguest Those are definitely bots.

@Keman There is no Wii U situation going on here. Nobody is going to be confused like that. This thing is called Switch 2 and not Switch U or Switch+ or Switch Pro or something else that might suggest it's just an additional model or accessory.

With the Wii U they focused everything on the controller, which made it look like an accessory or add on, with the name not being clear about it being a new console.

How is "Switch 2" not a clear enough name? It's obviously a new console. It'll most likely say "Nintendo Switch 2" on the back of the thing. And it looks much more different from the Switch 1 than you think it does.

@OldGamer999 Most of the people who bought MK8D aren't actively playing it anymore or at least not regularly. I bet there's at least 30 million people who would be eager to buy MK9 asap.

@Rayquaza2510 Sorry, what issues exactly does Doom Eternal have in later levels? I played through the whole game including DLC three times on Switch at higher difficulty levels and thought it kept a smooth 30fps throughout the whole game without any stutters or slowdown. I didn't notice any issues.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Are we looking at the same images? They are black with coloured rails. That's the exact opposite of the Switch Joy-Cons.

@GrailUK No, these charts don't include digital sales.

Elden Ring showing up again is cool.

I bought it over 4 years ago and haven't played it in a long time. Maybe I should give it another go.

@Morph The PS2 sold around 21.8 million units in Japan.

One of the best staff roll tracks ever.

@Erigen Scarlet/Violet is at #11 right now.

@Serpenterror Dragon Quest had a way bigger launch. That's all there really is too it. Next week it will probably sell another 50-60k while Mario Party should sell over 100k easily, but that won't be enough to reach the over 900k that DQ3 should be at then. It'll catch up soon enough though.

@Serpenterror Memories of Celceta already has a localization on other consoles.

@AlanaHagues Typo in the article in the second to last paragraph. It says they were working on Battlefield 3 instead of Battlefront 3. Easy one to make though.

Edit: Thanks for fixing.

@batmanbud2 86%

@PikminMarioKirby Wouldn't work since that US number comes from independant market trackers.

@ecco6t9 And look where they are now.
