@AussieMcBucket could happen. Mario Odyssey was the last 3D entry and that was in 2017. That's 8 years ago. Super Mario 3D World was a port in 2021, but it was a port with brand new DLC (Bowser's Fury). Thinking we are overdue for a new entry.
I wanted my Switch 2 to be more powerful and able to play PS4 and PS5 3rd party games. And I got exactly that. I don't want gimmicks. But Nintendo has not released many first party games, that people will run out to get Switch 2 for. They need a brand new 3D Mario game or something on that level, system sellers and they need a new Direct to get people excited.
They need a new 3D Mario ASAP. Tennis doesn't exactly sell like hot cakes. The only current first party game that I am looking to get is Bonanza. That's is for current 1st party games. I am actually more interested in 3rd party games like Assassin's Creed, Cyberpunk and Resident Evil games.
@Spider-Kev no internet by choice? Or just not available in your area? I don't know if you live in middle of nowhere, but sometimes I wish that I would live in some mountain range.
I just got Switch 2 and it is such a great graphical leap over Switch 1. I can still play 1 games with backward compatibility. But Switch 2 all the way.
Amazon warehouses use robots taking away jobs. We use self checkout at a grocery store. Consoles are put together by machines. Technology is in every part of our lives. AI in video games is inevitable whether we want it or not.
I haven't even noticed. I never used them on Switch 1, but options are always good. I wonder if Switches send information back on what buttons people use the most, and maybe there was not enough widespread usage?
I got Switch 2 today. It is amazing. Such an improvement over Switch 1. I only play Switch 1 and 2 in handled mode and Switch 1 games look so much better on 2. I have not purchased any Switch 2 games but can't wait. I did purchase Zelda BOTW $10 upgrade. Will try that next
Just charge $10 more for games on memory cards. Meaning offer a discount to GKC adopters. And companies won't lose money on memory card editions. Every one wins, problem solved
@John_Deacon Umm, I immigrated to United States as a child and had to learn English. Stop making assumptions about people. I am very much liberal but still think this was not worth a post.
Faster loading is always a big plus for me. The review does not mention how it looks in handheld mode from Switch 1 to Switch 2. I only play Switch in handheld mode.
Blows my mind that some folks will be getting the inferior Switch 1 version just because of physical release. I would rather have the better Switch 2 version.
@Dang_69 Or they could just erase an older game on their memory card to make way for that new game. Not everyone keeps every single game on their memory storage.
I don't care about Pokemon but I don't see game key cards as an issue. Sony and Microsoft are going that way too. All 3 companies would only do digital purchases only if they could, but they want that physical storefront presence especially during Christmas present buying season. These game card releases are not for everyday gamers, but for clueless parents/relatives who want to put something under a tree. This is a perfect solution.
If the game is available on a game key card, people complain and claim to boycott that game. But when a game is available only digitally (not physical or game key card), several break ranks and purchase the game as evidenced by Silksong. I think that the game key card is more for brick and mortar store presence than anything else. More of an advertisement. Yeah, some games like PT might be taken off the digital store, but that is a small percentage. And I will be too busy playing Switch 5 or PS8 to notice.
@LastFootnote It does have to do with the other. Just pointing out how the physical game only people are never truly going to boycott something whether it is digital or key card if they really want to experience something (like Silksong).

All that Direct fuss for movie trailer. I would love a game centric Direct. Maybe to announce a new 3D Mario game.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart World Takes The Lead While Cronos Sees Weak Sales On Switch 2
