To my fellow fans who could not get ahold of a preorder, best of luck! I wish you the best! ...Except actually I don't. I wish you the second best, PLEASE LET ME GET ONE ON LAUNCHHHHHHH. Seriously, after myself, I really do want everyone to get one.
Patiently waiting for Nintendo or Singularity6 to give an update on whether Palia will be getting a patch or just a Switch 2 version. Apparently the devs did not know that there was a compatibility issue until we (the fans that is) asked them about it in their Discord lol! I cannot wait to see the new graphics
Well, everyone, fingers crossed that I and my fellow Americans can get our hands on one!! I can't decide if I should try to get in the GameStop or the Walmart in my area.... @fishys what's your plan?
I honestly don’t care for 8/DX but they are still fun. I mostly pull them out when we want to do something with custom items; the rest of the time we stick to Wii. That said, while I (stupidly) sold my 2DS a few years back, 7 is still a fond memory for me! So many of its tracks were amazing— especially its rendition of Rainbow Road, which is both fun to race on, pretty to look at, and (soundtrackwise) my favorite!
Quite like the new looks, except for the weird fleshy line on Diddy's eyes. That feels "off" somehow. But I doubt I will notice it in actual gameplay. ☺️
Sure it is crazy that ppl figured this out…. But me personally, I just want to know who figured out how to make mayonnaise. Seriously, that is even crazier!!
I am still hoping I will be able to snag one, whether that is though Registering Interest or in-person on launch day. Of my friends, only one managed to get and keep a preorder.
Very handy! I only ever read the Palma and Splatoon articles but am bombarded with Speedstorms, Minecraft, Animal Crossing, etc. news from my siblings’ accounts lol
I didn't believe the rumors that he was being removed, but I was eagerly awaiting the redesign and... I see the differences, but if I hadn't been told "Here is a new look for Diddy Kong!" I wouldn't have noticed, honestly. I really like DK's new look (growing up I always thought DK was gross for some reason so I was ecstatic for a new look haha!) but this is such a nothing change that it doesn't sway my opinion at all honestly.
I really don't mind Coin Coffer. However, I doubt anyone ever genuinely wanted him in a Mario Kart. Ninji, on the other hand, has been in wishlists since before we even knew about the "gimmicky" roster. Cappy in his ghost form could work really well, too! And what about Prince Florian, or even the Poplins (@JimNorman said they were definitely his fave...)? The Tostarenans would be fun, too, or maybe Luma? (Though Rosalina has one riding with her after their absence since Wii)
Bought Putt Putt Saves The Zoo for my little brother because I loved it as his age… and still do lol! Mostly though, playing Palia because ELDERWOODS IS RELEASING ON TUESDAY!!! and I need to prepare. I really cannot wait!
Just remember: People will complain there aren't enough new gimmicks, but if they had made something totally new with gimmicks, then people would have complained that it wasn't a Switch 2!
My PFP sums up my feeling perfectly... I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed I am not stressed
Thank goodness. The leaks were rampant and would have been unavoidable no matter what. But a company putting them out made them all the harder to avoid! I am still excited for the console, and I still freaked out when I saw the official announcement, but Genki certainly dampened my enthusiasm. Even without the lawsuit, I won’t be supporting them or their products any time soon!
Nintendo is the only news source I ever use (and I mean that literally lol, I don't watch CNN of FOX or anything for news haha), and I never cared for Polygon or GB. Obviously, it stinks that they lost their jobs. But for me personally I am not losing a major source or anything.
@N00BiSH Well /that/ brought back nostalgia from when I first got my OLED 3 years ago (!) and didn’t have a Nintendo account so I only ever saw the News articles with her on them. I rather missed her, now that I think about it!
@dartmonkey Um... Splatoon and Kid Icarus aren't in the poll?
Either aforementioned Splatoon, or Animal Crossing. Terraforming is a pain (I never did finish my island), so mouse controls for that would be a Godsend! Or ofc another Kid Icarus.
I have a flip phone, so obviously it is incompatible. As I mentioned in the "Ideas for the Site" forum, a weekly roundup would be appreciated! @nintendolife
In my timezone preorders opened at 11pm yesterday. My best friend stayed up and got one. I, on the other hand, slept, because I went to work at 5am, and didn't want to be a zombie. So I missed it, but hoping (🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽) to get one soon!!
I am more than ready for this game, but that is in no way due to the Direct. Rather than showing off something new, it felt like an annoyingly long, drawn-out infomercial about things I already knew. But my excitement remains!!
This is the one and only price-related thing about Nintendo that bugs me. I genuinely don't get the hate for NSO prices, the Switch 2 price, MKWorld's price... but this one, yeah it shoulda been free or something.
