Okay real question: Does Silksong or GTA VI release first? Cause it might end up being close.

Overall, I feel like virtual game cards are a mixed bag. On one hand, it's definitely easier to use than the previous system. But on the other, this feature was a major positive of that system. I think the game lending is the biggest disappointment with this setup, since who you share with and how long yoy share for are extremely limited.

@sketchturner You 100% could, I literally used it to play one digital copy of Splatoon online with my brother for like two years. I could explain how it worked, but I guess that would be rather pointless now lol.

That castle Bowser is gonna be crazy expensive, but it looks SICK

Honestly, Everybody's 1-2 Switch might be the most over hated game of all time. You could do a lot worse for a 30$ party game.

@Lizuka Thank you, I was looking in the wrong place. Pretty sneaky spot for them to put it lol.

@speed_loafer Not necessarily. Let me give you an example of a situation in which it would be helpful. I have 2 Nintendo Switches, 1 for me, 1 for my brother. Both are logged into the same account, let's call it Account1. I have two digital purchases on Account1, mario kart and Smash ultimate. With this turned on, I could have the virtual game card for Smash on my system, while my brother has mario kart on his. Turning this setting on would enable both of us to access either game, despite not having the virtual game card (you just can't access the same game at the same time). It's similar to the system that was in place before the virtual game card nonsense, but with that system you could both access the same game at the same time. But it's by far the easiest way to be able to access a library from two systems, since you don't have to eject and load game cards every time someone on the other console wants to play a game. (Hopefully that explanation made sense, I am very tired lol)

Has anyon been able to find the online license setting? I don't see it anywhere

Zelda, Splatoon 4, 3D Mario, and 2D Metroid are the biggest wants from me.

I was wondering about that, but not surprising to see. It probably wouldn't even fit with joycons on.

Yeah had to bite on this one. This game is delightful and I definitely want it portably.

Yep. Struggled with the three big retailers last night and got nothing. Then this morning I pulled up the site for my local Walmart and they apparently still had some. Very odd experience overall.

How is split fiction bigger than Cyberpunk and hitman lol

Lol, literally why would anyone buy this? I wouldn't even play it if it was a pack-in, let alone for ten dollars.

@MamaSymphonia You're not wrong lol. Nobody actually does it legally, and anyone that says they do is probably lying. But once again, Dolphin is WAY more advanced than the emulator Nintendo offers, which is what I find to be embarrassing. I'm purely comparing the emulator quality, piracy is not a related issue.

@Gatorclops It's funny that people like to bring up pirated software. I literally said nothing about anything piracy related. Simply pointed out that fans have made a better emulator than Nintendo, and they don't even charge for it.

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT That isn't really relevant to anything I said though. Nintendo's emulation is still inferior to that of a free fan project. That's pretty pathetic if you ask me.

@MamaSymphonia You'll notice my initial post said nothing about stealing anything, I was simply pointing out how fanmade software is objectively superior to Nintendo's in this case.

I know a lot of people are apparently "impressed" with Gamecube NSO, but I am not. These games look and run better on Dolphin, why should I be impressed with Nintendo's service being inferior to that of the fans?

At the end of the day, I can't be bothered to be mad about prices that don't affect me personally. Is mkw costing 80 bucks stupid? Yeah, kind of. But I'm buying the console bundle at launch, so it really doesn't matter to me. (And as an aside, I really hate the "have empathy for others argument", cause I guarantee the majority of people saying that couldn't care less about me. It's a two way street.)

Yeah with those accessory prices, I think I'm only getting the carrying case and screen protector as extras lol.

@Dev-N It's not hypocritical, it's favoritism. Cause by that logic, it's hypocritical to be happy when your favorite sports team wins and upset when they lose. There's nothing hypocritical about having a favorite.

Once again we have successfully brought glory to big man. Well done.

Finally, the sidon ammibo is real.

Heck yeah! I honestly don't care all that much about 4k. For me, higher framerates are where it's at. (Well, that and raytracing of course).

@Princess_Lilly That is a completely false equivalency and you know it.

SNES is kind of crazy honestly. Quantity's a little low, but the quality of those five games is nuts. Switch 2 is also excellent, only real issue is most of the stuff has already been out a while.

Wait, are physical and digital priced differently in the US as well or is that just a Europe thing? I haven't seen anything about US digital prices.

Definitely gonna be playing in 1080p, 120fps mode. I love me some high fps, it just looks so good.

@HammerGalladeBro Yes the do and I agree, that seems to be the trend. A lot of people are upset about the pricing on them, but I don't think it's that crazy. Like, I would have gladly paid 20 bucks for some Kirby DLC, plus it will look nicer now? As far as I'm concerned, that's a fair deal.

Until it inevitably returns every black Friday until the end of time

@dskatter It seems the Zelda upgrades cost 10 each, and the Mario party and Kirby ones are 20 (according to Walmart's listings)

Thank goodness it seems I'm not the only one who likes it. It's simple and to the point. I own a console to play games, not to sit on the home screen.

Insane lineup for launch day. Not sure what I'll even play first lol

I might finally play this game now. Nintendo knew what they were doing with this as the first third party reveal

One of the best announcements for me. Wish we could at least get a release year for 007 though.

I mostly buy digital, so I don't care all too much. But as others have said, it's basically what PS and XBOX do with physicals (at least to my understanding, could be wrong).

Oh hey now Echoes of Wisdom might not run like crap. That's nice

Please don't be any stupid dual screen junk

I love the addition of Expansion kit. That's an awesome piece of history right there.

Okay, but shooting in New Zealand is hype. A Zelda movie that looks like LotR? Count me in

Just give me a new 3D Mario. Please Nintendo, it's been so long.

@Magician Does Xenoblade 2 actually run at 240p? That's embarrassing.

It's obviously C for crypto mining. I thought that was pretty self-explanatory.

-1/10. 2/10, and then minus 3 for the virtual game card nonsense. What a joke.

@HeadPirate Yeah, this is the most blatant anti-consumer move Nintendo has done in a while. I've literally been using the current system to share digital games with my younger brother (lives at home and I'm at school) for the past 3 years. I'm so frustrated with this. It's an objective downgrade that severely limits what you can do. I'm also not typically the pitchfork type, but this is making me consider a Nintendo boycott. It's going to screw my entire setup up so much.

Edit: After rewatching the video, it appers there may be a way to opt out of this junk. There was fine print at the end reading ""By navigating to User Settings ⇒ Online-License Settings and turning the setting to ON, you can instead opt to connect to the internet to start up software." I'm having trouble understanding what this means, but hopefully it means the old system may still be an option. But that being said, any help interpreting would be appreciated.

@RenanKJ Dude that solution was great. You can play games on multiple consoles at once using it.

Awesome. Now everyone gets the excuse to preted this disaster of a direct was good.

Man, when Shigeru came on I thought we were getting a Zelda movie cast announcement lol. Ah well. This seems pointless. I have Nintendo Life for news. Why exactly do I need this?
