@darkfenrir At least physical US copies don't have a giant classification rating ruining the box art. I'm still upset about getting the Australian copy of Botw 😭
I'm torn between a 8-9/10. I very much enjoyed the direct but the only new 'gimmicks' it showcased were the camera, mic and mouse controls. Would have loved to have seen the OS and eshop features, and also some new 1st party titles like a 3D Mario. Also not happy with the game pricing at all.
I voted a 7 but now I'd say its a 5
Only Tomodachi actually sparked my interest (not a huge metroid person sadly)
The new app sounded interesting but imo its really bland so far (Where are the promised comics!)
The last big switch 1 direct... It's crazy how long the switch has been with me. I still remember watching videos from the January 2017 direct about the switch's hardware and os design, being in primary school. Now, I'll be sitting for my final exams in November and by this time next year I'll be in uni. 🥲
Woah! Mario made it to the list! Though I voted for totk as it's the only nominee I've played this year. Hope it wins, it's got tough competition this year!
Used to play this a lot as a kid. It's actually my first mario sports game (if we're not counting the mario & sonic games). This game's ost is also seriously underrated.
90% of my switch games are physical so I'm really hoping that there's backwards compatibility for the next-gen Switch. NSO being carried over would be great too.
Been taking a break from gaming for awhile now due to life events + studies. But boy am I excited for TTDY, and definitely Funky Kong in Mario Kart (Sorry shy guy, it’s been a good 6 years but I’m certainly switching over now haha). My family and I have enjoyed the Spy x Family anime and manga series, so I might pick up the game during a sale maybe.
In all honesty, I really did enjoy the new open world formula in Pokemon with S/V. I just wish they would put in more effort in their games. Was really disappointed about the fact that you couldn’t enter buildings in the game.
Sucks that TPC is only really interested in cash and nothing else, they know their games will sell regardless.
I’ll still tune in, but I won’t be holding my hopes high for this one again (especially after the last poké presents lol). Didn’t get SwSh’s DLC so I definitely won’t be getting this one either.
@TheExile285 @nukatha Definitely gonna be keeping my fingers crossed! Hopefully there will be reprints of the original champion amiibo so I can finally snag them
I was absolutely certain that there would be no June direct after they announced Everybody 1-2-Switch. But welp guess Nintendo decided to surprise me once again lol.
@JohnnyMind Nendoroids are crazy expensive here too! They cost as much or sometimes even more than a newly released Nintendo game, but somehow they’re extremely popular here.
Didn't read the title properly and I thought Ishihara was stepping down as the president of TPC instead 😆. But even if leadership has changed for Creatures, I doubt this would bring improvement to any future Pokémon games. Welp, guess we just gotta wait and see.
Although my V1 Neon Switch still holds strong, I have been wanting an oled for awhile now. Though I might have to skip over this edition as I am holding out hope that they would release a mario edition oled hehe.
As for the pro controller, I just got the Splatoon 3 edition back in September, so I don't really need another.
Any idea what game is on the top left? Just above MW4
Also why are they counting NBA and FIFA as a franchise rather than an individual game? Then shouldn't Wii Sports Resort/Nintendo Switch Sports be up there too?

Re: Nintendo Expects You To Pay For Its Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" User Guide
Well people did buy 1-2 Switch at launch, so it's not surprising that this is paid, but naming it 'welcome tour' AND making it paid is kinda weird

No price yet and so soon!

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct - All Announcements, Features, Power-Ups, Worlds
This is probably the best looking Mario game to me! Can't wait!

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo IP Should 'Switch 2' Launch With?
What game I think it will launch with? Most likely another party game showcasing the “new switch’s” gimmick.
What game I would actually want? Definitely a new 3D Mario!
Re: After 5 Months, Mario Kart 8 And Splatoon Are Finally Going Back Online For Wii U
Huh didn't even know they were offline.
Re: Random: "Ultimate Console Database" Secures Ultra Rare Nintendo Labo Switch
It’s funny how the rarest GBA console was supposedly made of actual gold and rarest switch console is cardboard themed lol.
I still remember coming across the announcement of this contest on the switch’s news channel, crazy how it’s been 5 years already.
Re: Reminder: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Xenoblade Chronicles amiibo Are Out Today
Never really played Xenoblade. But these look really good!

I just noticed the upside down study in question 6 lmao
Re: PSA: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom News Channel Giving Out Free In-Game Items
A sword and a hylian shroom too?? Oh wow how generous!
Re: How Well Do You Know The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
11/15 I honestly couldn’t remember the first line of the game yet I remembered the names of Yunobo’s assistants 🙃
Re: More Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Are On The Way
@TheExile285 @nukatha Definitely gonna be keeping my fingers crossed! Hopefully there will be reprints of the original champion amiibo so I can finally snag them
Re: More Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Are On The Way
Dang no amiibo for Sidon, Tulin, Yunobo and Riju then?
Re: Nintendo Direct Showcase Confirmed For Tomorrow, 21st June

Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Just finished the main story today!!
Went into the final fight with 15 hearts and 2 1/5 stamina wheels.
Boy, that ending was magnificent.
Re: Good Smile Company Announces Mario And Luigi Nendoroid Rerelease, Pre-Orders Now Open
@JohnnyMind Nendoroids are crazy expensive here too! They cost as much or sometimes even more than a newly released Nintendo game, but somehow they’re extremely popular here.
Re: Good Smile Company Announces Mario And Luigi Nendoroid Rerelease, Pre-Orders Now Open
I know that nendoroids are supposed to have big heads but wow.
Luigi still looks alright since he has a larger body, but Mario on the other hand…
Re: Random: You Can Use Zonai Devices To Make Music In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
This is actually insane. Can’t wait to see people doing rick rolls now lol
Re: Can You Match These Zeldas To The Game They're From?
15/17, that was just pure luck lol considering I’ve only really ever played Botw/Totk.
Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo Cleans Up As Zelda Continues To Dominate
And somehow the japanese have still managed to find more than 20 2DS LLs to sell this week again lol.
Great to see TOTK on top. Won’t be surprised if it overtakes the previous game’s sales.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning

Re: Can You Guess The Game From These Poor Descriptions?
13/15, got Fire Emblem and Earthbound wrong.
Re: Nintendo Offering Refunds On Wii U And 3DS eShop Credit In Japan
@bluesun @Olliemar28 Thanks 😃
Re: Nintendo Offering Refunds On Wii U And 3DS eShop Credit In Japan
Just wondering, but will you still be able to merge the funds from your 3ds/Wii u with your Switch eshop account even after the shop closure?
Re: Creatures Inc. Undertakes A Significant Change In Leadership
Didn't read the title properly and I thought Ishihara was stepping down as the president of TPC instead 😆. But even if leadership has changed for Creatures, I doubt this would bring improvement to any future Pokémon games. Welp, guess we just gotta wait and see.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED?
Although my V1 Neon Switch still holds strong, I have been wanting an oled for awhile now. Though I might have to skip over this edition as I am holding out hope that they would release a mario edition oled hehe.
As for the pro controller, I just got the Splatoon 3 edition back in September, so I don't really need another.
Re: Random: Tears Of The Kingdom's 'Ultrahand' Is A Loving Nod To Nintendo's Past
Noticed this as soon as it was announced in the trailer...I absolutely adore little references like this.
