Can't wait. Been asking for this game for decades since I played the original. Sakurai's famous for stuffing his games full of things to do, so I have a good feeling this game will be worth whatever the price is. I'm not worried.
Hades II, since I liked the first one. There's a small, tiny part of me that kinda sorta wishes that Thunder Lotus' newly announced game, At Fate's End, makes an appearance here. Although probably not since it has a tentative 2026 year and they said they don't have their dev kits yet. Still, crazy things happen in these presentations. Who knows!
It wasn't awful since it had stuff I wanted, but I really hope that Nintendo themselves bring their A-game when the inevitable September Direct (or whatever else) happens, because things are looking...a bit weird right now.
I kind of preferred a general one, but I'll take it since Nintendo is finally breaking the silence a bit. That, and they could also just randomly drop the first-party stuff on their app or on Twitter until September so no big deal if you ask me.
I honestly don't care who leaks what and who's reliable or not. I just want a Direct that gives me a proper look as to what Nintendo has in store for the Switch 2 for the future. And I really don't care when we'll get one, either.
Legends Z-A continues to impress, along with things like Concierge, Champions, and Tales, but man, this easily could've been an email or something. It's obvious that they're saving the big guns for February with the anniversary and all, so I know I should've known better to expect a bit more, but still...
It's an old song that was composed decades ago, known and loved by many, yet also hated by some. Even if he's not credited, I'm pretty sure everyone knows him and this song in some way given how big it is. He'll live.
Not done with it yet, but easily one of the best VNs I've ever played. The only major issue I have with it is the pacing of things here and there, but that's kinda whatever when it comes to big, meaty narrative titles like this.
Finally managed to secure a preorder on Walmart after refreshing the damn page for hours. Only managed to get the console itself, but whatever. I seriously hope everyone who wants one manages to get one because my god...this is hell.
Mario Kart and DK, as much as I don't like the prices, I can somewhat get behind due to them being high-quality looking games and whatever. But this? Nuh-uh. Inexcusable. Paying for a tutorial on how to use the system? Something that we can all do on the internet for free? Get real.
It makes sense. The 3DS game sold pretty well and generated a dedicated fanbase. You can't really say nobody cares or asked for this when there are obviously a lot that did.
It was fine. They showed me some games I've been wanting like Rythm Heaven so I'm not too bothered about it. Next week is when the gloves come off anyway so there's no point in me getting upset.
I'm fine with whatever, really. Because even if this Direct somehow manages to be a dud (which I doubt) there's still the Switch 2 one. Basically a win-win regardless.
But if I was forced to pick it would be a Kirby game and Rhythm Heaven.
I mean...I wouldn't say no. Especially since Nintendo obviously won't pull the plug on Switch 1 the second 2 is out, but can't this wait for a bit longer or something? We're a week away from Nintendo finally, finally spilling the info on their next console. Let's deal with that first.
I personally think an Indie World is far more likely.
It was pretty much what I'd thought it'd be, so no. That said, it kinda sucks that we have to wait even longer for them actually to spill the details on this thing. As if we haven't waited long enough.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
Marked on the calendar. Looks fantastic, and I'll be there day one.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase August 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
Neverway and Demonschool are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. Solid showing all around.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Kirby And The Forgotten Land?
HAL always delivers when it comes to this series, so hell yeah I'm getting the upgrade pack.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?

Re: Surprise! Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Thursday 7th August 2025
Huh. Well, second time's a charm? Excited for this one, actually.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary
Galaxy 2 and Mario Maker 3, please.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
It wasn't awful since it had stuff I wanted, but I really hope that Nintendo themselves bring their A-game when the inevitable September Direct (or whatever else) happens, because things are looking...a bit weird right now.
Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Will Bring More Adventures To Switch 1 & 2 This Year
I'll take it! Always love the OT games. The sequel's one of my all-time favorites.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Teases New Construct In Fresh Trailer
Kinda weird that we still don't have a date for this. It almost feels like they're spinning their wheels right now.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
I kind of preferred a general one, but I'll take it since Nintendo is finally breaking the silence a bit. That, and they could also just randomly drop the first-party stuff on their app or on Twitter until September so no big deal if you ask me.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Finally bending the knee, Nintendo? About time.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Rating Spotted, Fuelling Nintendo Direct Hopes Again
I honestly don't care who leaks what and who's reliable or not. I just want a Direct that gives me a proper look as to what Nintendo has in store for the Switch 2 for the future. And I really don't care when we'll get one, either.
Re: Pokémon Presents July 2025: Every Announcement, Full Livestream

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
Expected nothing less from the people who made Oydessy. Can't wait to play it in a few days.
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
Yeah, the fact that I don't recognize these two makes me somewhat optimistic about this now. Who knows, it may actually be a decent watch.
Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?
It's not a bad system, really. I'm glad I finally got it, especially since there are a couple of games I'm interested in getting soon.
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch (2) Game Of The Year So Far?
Hundred Line. Although Bananza may dethrone it in the upcoming weeks.
Re: The DK Rap Is Back In Donkey Kong Bananza, But Nobody Told Its Composer
It's an old song that was composed decades ago, known and loved by many, yet also hated by some. Even if he's not credited, I'm pretty sure everyone knows him and this song in some way given how big it is. He'll live.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Possibly one of the best single-game Directs I've ever seen. It's what that Kart World Direct wishes it would be.
Re: PS5 Hit 'Stellar Blade' Is Reportedly In Consideration For The Switch 2
Oh yeah, this game. It's great! Hope that those who were waiting for a Switch release get to play it.
Re: Splatoon Raiders, A New Splatoon Spin-Off, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
Uh, wow, ok. So we're back to just dropping things out of nowhere now? Not complaining, though.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Order A Nintendo Switch 2?
Order in Walmart still says placed. Don't know what's going on over there but they better hurry up.
Re: US Retailers Are Playing With Fire With More Switch 2 Cancellations
Had a pending charge for Walmart, but went away this morning. Contacted them and hope things will be ok...
Re: Poll: With One Week To Go, What Are Your Switch 2 Launch-Day Plans?
Play MKW pretty much. Hard to believe that after all the rumors, speculations, and discussions, we'll finally be able to get this thing.
Re: Opinion: Not Enough People Are Talking About This Early GOTY Contender
Not done with it yet, but easily one of the best VNs I've ever played. The only major issue I have with it is the pacing of things here and there, but that's kinda whatever when it comes to big, meaty narrative titles like this.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Is Now The Second-Best Selling Game In The Series
Hey, good for it. I personally put B&W2 above it, but I had a ton a fun with this one.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)
Finally managed to secure a preorder on Walmart after refreshing the damn page for hours. Only managed to get the console itself, but whatever. I seriously hope everyone who wants one manages to get one because my god...this is hell.
Re: Review: The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy (Switch) - An Addictive VN & Tactics Blend With Notes Of Persona
Woo! Nice to see it did well. The demo really made me want to see where this story goes next, so money well spent!
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 US Pre-Orders Start 24th April, System & Launch Game Pricing Unchanged
Finally. Now to see if I can get one before the millisecond they sell out.
Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music
Fine with me. Never really cared that much for achievements and I prefer silence when I shop. Helps me focus.
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
Mario Kart and DK, as much as I don't like the prices, I can somewhat get behind due to them being high-quality looking games and whatever. But this? Nuh-uh. Inexcusable. Paying for a tutorial on how to use the system? Something that we can all do on the internet for free? Get real.
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
Yeah, despite my hype for the games the prices are outrageous. Screw off with that, Nintendo.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
@HatesCheese For sure.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
New Mario Kart, DK, and Kirby? Not quite as earth-shattering as the Switch 1 one back in 2017, but I really, REALLY liked what I saw.
Re: Nintendo Expects You To Pay For Its Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" User Guide
Not paying money for a literal tech demo.
Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
About time we had a new 3D Donkey Kong.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
Yes, yes, yes. A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!! Loved playing Air Ride back in the day so seeing this nearly made me faint. God what a time to be alive.
Re: 'Mario Kart World' Looks Absolutely Awesome In Debut Switch 2 Trailer
Looks incredible. Can't wait.
Re: Hang On, Are People More Excited For Tomodachi Life Than Switch 2?
It makes sense. The 3DS game sold pretty well and generated a dedicated fanbase. You can't really say nobody cares or asked for this when there are obviously a lot that did.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
It was fine. They showed me some games I've been wanting like Rythm Heaven so I'm not too bothered about it. Next week is when the gloves come off anyway so there's no point in me getting upset.
Re: Rhythm Heaven Groove Announced For Switch, Launching 2026
I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw it...only for me to be mildly disappointed to see that its coming next year.
Whyyyyyyyy?????
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
I'm fine with whatever, really. Because even if this Direct somehow manages to be a dud (which I doubt) there's still the Switch 2 one. Basically a win-win regardless.
But if I was forced to pick it would be a Kirby game and Rhythm Heaven.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
Ok, sure, fine. Whatever. Not complaining. Hope to see a Kirby game in there or something else that'll surprise me.
Re: Rumour: A Switch 1 Direct Presentation May Take Place This Week
I mean...I wouldn't say no. Especially since Nintendo obviously won't pull the plug on Switch 1 the second 2 is out, but can't this wait for a bit longer or something? We're a week away from Nintendo finally, finally spilling the info on their next console. Let's deal with that first.
I personally think an Indie World is far more likely.
Re: How Would You Rate The Pokémon Presents Showcase For February 2025?
It was fine. Watchable. Might get Legends Z-A depending on how much more I see of it.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Confirms Starters And Mega Evolutions, Coming Late 2025
I liked what I saw, but I need to see more because it didn't exactly grip me the same way that Arceus did.
Re: Nintendo Is Discontinuing Gold Points, One Of The Switch's Best Incentives
Huh. Well that's... stupid. It's thanks to these things that I was able to shave off a few bucks when getting games. Typical Nintendo move.
Re: Talking Point: Did All The Switch 2 Leaks 'Damage' Nintendo Or The Console's Reveal?
It was pretty much what I'd thought it'd be, so no. That said, it kinda sucks that we have to wait even longer for them actually to spill the details on this thing. As if we haven't waited long enough.
