Europe and Japan are essentially the same, but might end up splitting the vote for 2nd and 3rd. ☹️

@Thomystic Yup! I got my code for Hatch Tales last week from Kickstarter. I’ve cleared out the first world so far. 😊

Hatch Tales! 🎵woo-oo🎵

@Yalloo Right. I had fun with Game Builder Garage and even made a Joust-like game. And like this game, it was not a full priced game ($30).

Woot! recently had a physical version for sale that wasn’t the Deluxe Edition (but is now sold out). The States didn’t have that option. I think it is coming from a different region.

I’ve returned for the weekly challenges. I got A or S rank on most of the levels.

It is good, but not great. And the number of people that play weekly has dropped down to 10-15k. I think in the beginning I saw 40-50k.

@arabiansanchez @GrailUK @Gavintendo And Game & Watches. 😉

@Jack_Goetz That is how I understood it. If you have motion detection on (not button mode) it will detect any motion and attribute it to you.

@HammerGalladeBro I hope it wasn’t Chibi-Robo. 😢

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2. 🤞

@dew12333 …and Chibi-Robi! 😊

@jco83 It is an older cartoon from the Disney Channel that only had one season. I didn’t mean to imply it is a recent thing. 😊

@abbyhitter @Teksetter @jco83 Tron fans shouldn’t overlook the Tron cartoon on Disney+. It was good. 😊

Edit: Tron: Uprising (2012-2013, one season)

I found the GC controller very comfortable, except for pressing the Z-button.

@rainbowtick 💯. Those who know, know. 😊

@Grumblevolcano You beat me to the reply! 😊

@LXP8 Now you have me wondering, because people have complained a lot, LOL. But the internet backs you up.

As mentioned, there was a Sept 2020 Direct, but it was celebrating the Super Mario 35th Anniversary, so people don’t count that as a mainline Direct.

We were also in the middle of COVID, so people were pretty understanding that Nintendo’s presentations may need to be different with more people working from home.

As for a Direct highlighting games only, I don’t know what could be announced that couldn’t wait until 2025. We already have Donkey Kong Country in January.

The difference is the Switch is a success and the Wii U was not. They probably won’t follow the same release cadence that they had for Switch.

Plus, they have already announced Switch holiday bundles.

@Tulio517 So many great lines in that movie! That is one of them. 😊

@Seacliff Echoes of Wisdom is also tracking closely with Link Between Worlds, which had ~224k sold in Japan its first week (and had a lower price). 😊

The top image is so adorable. I definitely need more info on All You Need is Help. 😊

However, I am mostly a single player gamer.

@BenAV This! The blur at the edges of the screen bothers me more than the framerate. And Link’s Awakening had the blur too.

Looks original enough to me. I don’t remember Mario 3 having reverse gravity sections. As long as the levels and characters are mostly original, I don’t see any problem.

Edit: The picture with the spikes on the ceiling and the spinning ball and chains may be too similar. And the water level. I hope the levels don’t end with a staircase and a candy cane pole. 😬

@linkypoo I am a Link’s Crossbow Training stan. 😊

@the_beaver I am with you on Phantom Hourglass, however…

I ❤️ Spirit Tracks! 😊

@Artonide Right! There is room for both experimental and traditional games. And it isn’t just BOTW and TOK. We’ve had different styles of games with Adventure of Link and Majora’s Mask.

There are also smaller experiments like the cartoony look of Wind Waker, the weapons rental system in Link Between Worlds, and the multiplayer focus of Tri Force Heroes. 😊

Skyward Sword was criticized a lot for being too same-y and adhering too close to the Zelda formula. It was perceived as getting stale. Breath of the Wild was the perfect game to mix it up. But like many have already said, I am glad they are returning to many parts of the traditional Zelda formula (including 2D). 😊

This sounds interesting, but I am still mostly interested in the Tetris Forever collection.

@Anti-Matter Save the 1812 Overture for the final boss. 😊😉

@HalBailman Right. People shouldn’t look too much at the Switch release as a pattern for the Switch 2.0 release. Nintendo is in a much stronger position today and can afford to give the Switch an extra long life as they continue to prepare for the next one.

Even if the hardware is ready, it doesn’t mean the launch games are ready.

@Kiz3000 True, and they had a more in depth Direct about the Switch including the models and preorders around Jan. 2017.

We’ve already heard about Black Friday Switch bundles and 1st party games still releasing in Oct and Nov. I just can’t see them announcing anything before the New Year.

But I don’t know more than anyone else. I could be wrong. 😊

@Member_the_game @BIG3 @TanukiTrooper I didn’t think so. Even if the units are ready, they won’t shadow drop a new console. I think all that we will have by March 2025 is the announcement.

I would like to see the light gun game added to the theme parks.

It would be cool if it could be a traveling exhibit someday.

I appreciate the marketing push for this game, but is there anything left to be discovered? 😉 I hope so. 😊

@batmanbud2 Yeah! This tracks. Pretty sure Zelda pushes Link off a ledge a couple of times in Skyward Sword. 🤣

@HolyGeez03 7+ years later. Still no Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch. ☹️

At this point, bring it to Switch 2.0 (unless backwards compatibility is confirmed).

@batmanbud2 I ended up buying my copy of Link’s Awakening HD used, probably about a month after it released. Just under $45 including shipping.

Now that we can look back, Dread built on what Samus Returns established (the blocking and parry mechanics). I stand by Samus Returns being a great game and has some of the best 3D graphics on the 3DS.

I do have Echos of Wisdom preordered (physical) and I am looking forward to it. 😊

How about you? I assume you will be getting Echoes of Wisdom too.

I hope Mario Paint is coming. It should have already been in the lineup. 😊

@Duncanballs Clubhouse Games 51 also has a Shooting Gallery game similar to the one on Wii play.

@Duncanballs This! I don’t miss CRTs, but I do miss light gun games. We need more things like Shooting Range on Wii Play and Link’s Crossbow Training. 😊

Also , Nintendo should bring that shooting game in the Nintendo Museum to the Theme Parks.

I don’t think we are getting one until the new year. Not sure what they would announce that hasn’t already been announced (and they certainly won’t be announcing Switch 2.0).

This has been a huge marketing push. They have shown a lot.

@breakneck I count Mario Maker 2 as a new 2D Mario game, but your point still stands.

@OldGamer999 I would still love to see Galaxy 2 ported to Switch. 🤞

Mario games are not on the PlayStation. Let them enjoy this. 😊

I haven’t played it, so I didn’t vote. From what I have heard, it is a great game. Plenty of room for good 3D platformers. 😊

Nice! I already had it preordered. Looking forward to playing it. 😊

This one caught my eye from the start. Love that they are doing something new with the IP.

The problem is that AI often has to be trained on existing properties, which brings up copyright and intellectual property issues.

I doubt Reggie has a CRT TV in his house to play his old N64, but he can still enjoy having the collection. 😊

Wait, so the wheels flatten to go into hover/magnet mode? Do the wheels also spin?
