Sorry but what we have on offering here is so wack. The yoshi game is easily the best thing - it was one of three total switch 2 games announced.

Galaxy ports for $40 each?? Come one. Wonder s2 edition looks fine, but jeez. Not having a Mario game of some kind shown off for 2026 is going to cost them. No Mario tennis doesn’t count. This was a brutal direct

Yea no I’m good. Insulting enough that most of the first party announcements were old games

It looks good, I’m loving the art style. Concept seems unique.

The fact that we got this and so few switch 2 games…has to be a troll job.

I want to see more brand new first party games than remasters or switch 2 editions. Hopefully see at least 2-3 big heavy hitters for 2026.

30 min in, it’s everything I wanted it to be

Yeah that is extremely disappointing

@Suketoudara I think it’s a fantastic game held back by the weird controls. Maybe his only miss, and really it’s just the controls

Yea I’m not totally sold yet. Other than the fact that sakurai doesn’t put out bad games, so I’m sure it’s pretty good. Just seems like a very small experience that I would get bored with after a weekend

45 minutes?? Ok maybe this game is like huge or something? That would be a shock

Still enjoying my time with donkey Kong, but with this game being so slight and meh, feels like we’re really losing momentum here compared to switch 1 year 1

It’s honestly pretty generous of them to upload a 47 year old movie for free

Been saying this. Theres not gonna be a general direct until the fall. We know everything coming out this year.

Wow I just never noticed this!! So cool

Im gonna have to do a 10 here. I have some critiques sure, but pretty much zero complaints. this is one of those very special once in a while Nintendo games. If all I can think about is “when can I jump back on the game”, it’s really working for me. I didn’t know if they would ever bring DK back in any significant way (never been crazy on the Returns games), but they pulled it off here. It’s everything and more

As expected. Dk is not gonna do Mario numbers

Yeah I’m about to go apesh*t on this game, my time has finally come

It’s definitely a bummer that the first big platformer on nintendos next gen console has performance issues. I expect the game to be good enough that it can mostly be overlooked, but yeah

I hate that Nintendo does stuff like this, but also could not care less about 3 lap races

Still looks great lmao

lol these terminal dorks. Screen is great

I don’t really main any character in Mario kart, but I’ve probably played as king boo the most

I honestly am more than ok with this. Mario odyssey was so huge in what it did, I think that 3d Mario needs a breather. As a dk fan I’m biased here, but I like that he is taking up the spot and being elevated to this level.

As I had hoped, they absolutely cooked here. This is exactly what this game needed to be. A fully fledged 3d platformer completely stuffed with gameplay ideas. Mario kart is great and all, but this is the true showcase of what the switch 2 is capable of. Can’t wait, this game looks incredible

@Trikeboy Nintendo would not launch 2 AAA games at the same time.

@batmanbud2 I did. It’s fine. I personally don’t love the returns games as much as everyone else.

Can’t wait. First time I’ve been hyped for dk since 1999. Presumably this is the first switch 2 game developed for the hardware from the start

Ill keep it arms length

I give doom the dark ages like 2 yrs before they get it going on S2

Probably just a pro controller.

Yes, surprisingly easily

He’s mad they aren’t dropping a flop

The hypest launches of my lifetime
1. N64
2. Switch
3. SNES
4. Wii

The mania that the n64 generated cannot be recreated. Was a totally different media and retail landscape. First saw footage of Mario on the morning news and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Then I got to actually play it at a kiosk and it was so mind blowing. Hearing his feet clatter and seeing breathe, I was like yea 3D is here baby let me in

Mario kart and dk look fantastic. Just not super blown away by the switch 2s features. It’s great and all, but these price hikes are a lot.

Wow it looks incredible. DK’s redesign is so good

Yeah that’s a switch 2 dual release

Great as long the online can handle it!

lol this scared me for like half a second

Yea I wasn’t falling for that lmao

People going to do anything they can to play gta 6, so this would not surprise me

I still think it’s entirely possible that we’ve still only seen speculative mockups. Only because every leak looks a little different, and we haven’t seen the full console face on convincingly. Could be wrong, but Nintendo not scrambling to take stuff down is kind of an indicator. They can totally strike down and ruin these third parties….so why aren’t they? Idk, all kinda fishy

The fact that they would be so bold to actually show it makes me skeptical

@Chopper25 I don’t doubt there’s more. We haven’t even seen what the central gameplay mechanic is. Just saying from what we’ve seen so far, just looks like same old

@N8tiveT3ch there’s all kinds of stuff they could do. Customizable suits, brand new abilities, new beams, mobility options, space flight combat etc etc. they could change up how the environment works. Possibilities are endless with a franchise like Metroid.

And fwiw, I’m interested in this new Zelda precisely because it’s not just the same thing again.

@N8tiveT3ch just because other M was a bad game doesn’t mean Nintendo couldn’t overhaul Metroid prime for a whole new type of experience that people like

I was honestly a little disappointed that gameplay looked more or less exactly like prime 1. I know it was just a little taste, but definitely expected some bigger changes. Even the suit just looked like regular old samus.

@batmanbud2 cool man

Gonna have to go with BOTW. Totk is incredible and makes many improvements of course, but the first one was just such a revelatory gaming experience. I didn’t quite reach that level with totk, but mostly cuz everything was so familiar already. The newness of it wore off much faster imo. Having put significant time into both, I can safely say I am very sick of it overall lol

So it's basically nsmb but better

I really don't like being spoiled. It definitely doesn’t ruin the product itself, but there’s no question it cheapens the experience. Whether it’s story, gameplay, movies, albums, whatever. If given the choice I would like my first experience with the thing to unfold the way the creator intended.
