D-Star92

Multiple themes would be great - I would love to have a Mario theme myself! I wonder if Splatoon music will be playing if you have that theme equipped (example: when there's 10 players remaining, Now or Never starts playing).

@KazooieTooie I'm pretty sure the DLC stays in the Switch's internal memory or a microSD card.

Super Mario Maker 2, of course

Just waiting for SMM2 to be playable!

Seems like a tacked-on feature to me. I don't see myself putting too much time into the dungeon maker.

I have the game downloaded already. Can I play it now, Big N?

Really sad to hear that he passed away... Rest in peace and my best wishes go to his family and friends.

I went through some difficult moments in my life, I'm not gonna lie... but I don't give up. Ever. Life is just way too precious to have, plus I have a career to live up to. No matter how miserable things get for you, your life is worth it! Suicide is never the answer. Keep going, and definitely get help when you truly need it.

This could be one of the best games on the Switch. I'd love to give it a shot sometime.

I've never heard of Etika, but this is truly heartbreaking. I really hope he's okay...

I so want an English translation of this. I miss Iwata

Wow, you can't even get wumpa coins when you're offline? Good going, Activision. -_-

Wow, he was quite young. Rest in peace, man...thanks for everything!

I'm more than okay with this, I'll happily take a brand new Zelda game.

Already got the game from the eShop!

I'd rather stick with physical copies and digital downloads, thank you.

Well, this thing's gonna bomb big time. Why would I need these kind of specs, as well as 4K, for playing Atari games out of all things?

I'll likely get Celeste for that price. Been wanting to play it for a while.

I commend Nintendo for treating their employees well. As long as the game turns out to be good, I'm okay with it!

Definitely giving this a shot. Sega should definitely give this kind of treatment to more of their retro IPs that aren't Sonic.

@JayJ That would be cool, or they could at least remake Jet Set Radio Future.

That's awesome to hear, good thing Big N listened in that regard!

Looking forward to this. Can't wait to suck up some more of those pesky ghosts with Luigi!

Rare Replay when?

I never thought I would live to see the bear and bird be playable in Smash. This literally made my day.

Must-haves for my Switch? Come on Nintendo Life, I don't even like Pokemon that much.

All I'm predicting from this upcoming Direct is more info for already-announced games like Link's Awakening, as well as the next DLC fighter for Smash Ultimate. Other than that, I'm not expecting too much. Though I would be a very happy man if they announced SNES games for Switch Online (more retro Nintendo platforms would be even better), Mario Kart 9, the next F-Zero (though I admit, that's a very slim chance), DLC kingdoms for Super Mario Odyssey, or the next Donkey Kong Country. Not expecting those though, just my wishful thinking.

Bring in the announcements, Ninty!

Not really expecting anything besides more info on already-announced games. Just gonna enjoy the ride myself.

Judging by the datamines, I bet that Erdrick will be the next DLC fighter. Like a lot of you, I would love to have Banjo and Kazooie playable, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that for obvious reasons. I also want to see Crash Bandicoot playable, which would be more feasible because after the PS1 days, Crash games were coming out on all platforms.

Those are just pipe dreams of mine, though, so I'm not expecting much. We'll see who makes the cut at E3.

"given that 2D hand-drawn anime is our company’s focus..."

So we could be having something inspired by say, Dragon Ball Z?

Good to see that it's selling well. I haven't gotten the Torna expansion yet, but I love the base game. I'm pumped for what's next in the Xenoblade series!

Gonna finish up Super Mario Odyssey! I'm very close to 100%ing it.

Cool, I'm interested in seeing gameplay for Mario & Sonic. More Dream Events, please!

Very good lineup overall, but I'm disappointed that Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn't on here. Granted, I have it on the Wii Virtual Console, but come ON Sega... more people deserve to play that masterpiece! I'll pick it up at some point though, since there's some Genesis games I want to try out, like Monster World IV (I never got it on the Wii VC).

Some more Team Sonic Racing. I just beat the adventure mode and I'm gonna head into online next. I played Super Mario Odyssey (finally got some more moons!) and Yoshi's Crafted World last night so I'll play those this weekend too.

My favorite Mario Kart game overall. With that said though, I'm ready for a new console installment!

Best wishes to Vignocchi!

Super Mario Maker 2, of course <3

Lame, but expected from me nonetheless. Nintendo hasn't been doing too much with amiibo lately, so it's not a huge deal breaker for me. I just wanna make good levels anyway

Pretty surprising that it's number 1 in the UK. I'm loving this game so far!

Still looking forward to SMM2 - the game looks incredible! Really disappointed that the preorder bonuses aren't here in the US though... Guess I'm gonna have to order a stylus separately.

@Bunkerneath The online subscription that comes with the limited edition also adds to your current subscription.

I'll be playing Team Sonic Racing. I just finished chapter 4 in the Team Adventure mode. Once I get confident enough I'll jump into online multiplayer. Maybe I'll play some more Xenoblade Chronicles (1, X, or 2) as well. I need to finish Cuphead too!

I'll likely play Splatoon 2 for the splatfest.

Looking forward to this one. TSR's shaping up to be a solid kart racer to me! Though I'll get it on Steam, because...

A) I want 60 FPS
B) I don't have a PS4 or an Xbox One
C) Switch's player base online might not be too big, because Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a thing

Yeah, I bet there are going to be more game styles post-launch. SMB2 is very different from most Mario platformers so that would be a logical choice. Maybe there could be styles based on the other 3D games like 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy.

Bring it all on, Ninty!

Wow, people sure like Smash Bros.!

I still have my copy of Super Monkey Ball 2 from all those years ago. (I never had the first one.) Loved playing it as a kid, both the main game and the minigames. I remember me and my dad playing the heck out of billiards, as well. Oh yeah and Monkey Target was awesome too!

I have Thunder Force IV on my Switch. One of the best shmups I've played and the soundtrack is rockin'

Imagine if Rayman were to be a DLC fighter, his reveal trailer would have him break out of the ice. That would be the funniest thing

I think it has to do with how Sega games weren't that popular in Japan to begin with (particularly the Mark III [Master System] and Mega Drive - Saturn was quite big in Japan). Honestly, they should keep making the Sega Ages releases, especially for arcade, Saturn, and Dreamcast games. I'm already looking forward to Virtua Racing and I wanna get Phantasy Star, as well. Would love Daytona USA to get the Sega Ages treatment too...make it happen, Sega!!!
