@AussieMcBucket Nice! I have small work benches scattered around my island. I am never too far from one (and for visitors too).

I also have a few storage units placed around the island (which you can also carry in your pockets). 😊

Bulk crafting for sure! The crafting animation would not be so bad if you could craft items in bulk. 😊

I play Animal Crossing and Mario Kart with family in different cities, so this would be a nice change from talking over our phones.

However, I think I will be the only one with a Switch 2 at launch. 😂

Over time, though, I could see us doing this.

@Lism_Doolan Do you know if the GameCube controller sold out in NA? I haven’t received the email invite. Now (May 13th) it is listed as being available on June 5th.

And the steering wheels still say “Invite Required”. I expected everything to be be open for pre-order to NSO members after May 12th. Guess I am missing something. Thanks. 🙂

EDIT: I was able to but the NSO GameCube controller later in the day! 😊 The steering wheel, though, is still invite only.

@canaryfarmer @Navi I had just decided to finally buy the game. Looking forward to it.

@davowayman I thought the UK already had their invites. The invites for the US and Canada were delayed.

@Scarmucci Nope, no invitation for me yet. Though, I registered my interest later in the day.

I have a preorder with GameStop, but I still want to pick up a GameCube controller (which is also by invitation).

It really is a big deal. We never had Virtual Console GameCube games.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy Great question! Same for me. I love this genre, but I am rubbish at it. 😂

With the Game Share feature, I am considering going mostly digital.

Am I buying the GameCube controller only to have analog triggers for Sunshine’s F.L.U.D.D.? Yes, yes I am. 🤓

@jake1421 Good question. I don’t think it has been confirmed yet (i.e if the Switch 2 controller will work with Switch 1).

Screen protector.

The Virtual Boy LEDs also wipe your memory. 😉

@Vectrex The HD version also allows 12 pictures in the camera instead of just 3. The camera side quest is much more doable in the HD version.

But yeah, I will still probably run through the main game on NSO. 😊

It will sell well, but many will wait due to the higher price. Such as save up for it as a family Christmas gift.

Most of these are new to me. Thanks! 😊

Since I got my pre-order, I will forgo the Nintendo invite. Hopefully, someone else can benefit from the Nintendo reserves. 😊

@Scarmucci Yeah, I ended up going physically to GameStop since the website was bogged. Got the bundle pre-ordered. 😊

The Mario Kart World bundle may net them up to $30 profit, but that is all.

@ElkinFencer10 No worries! They announced a lot. And quickly. Blink, and you miss it. 😂

For reference (for everyone):
At launch:

• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
• F-Zero GX
• Soul Calibur II

Confirmed for later:

• Super Mario Sunshine
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
• Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
• Super Mario Strikers
• Chibi-Robo!
• Luigi's Mansion
• Pokémon Colosseum

@ElkinFencer10 Yeah, I don’t think they are including the games that have already been confirmed by Nintendo in the direct.

I played a lot of Simpsons Hit-n-Run (even replaying it on the Wii)!

And Super Monkey Ball 1&2. 😊

But I voted for Nintendo Puzzle Collection (which I had always hoped would come to the west), Rogue Squadron 2, and Animal Crossing.

Not at the top of my list, but it would be neat to see some of the Mario Party games added.

@romanista @jetsetradion Agreed, it has taken a long time, but we now have a pretty robust library.

I feel like it is overshadowed by the Switch 2 (understandably), but getting GameCube NSO is a big deal. The players have been asking for this for a long time. And we never got GameCube virtual console games either.

My daughters grew up with the GameCube and we are very excited to play Chibi-Robo! again. 😊

@NintendoWife @Ogbert The 3D visuals in Samus Returns were some of the best I have seen on the 3DS. 😊

The Mario Kart World bundle is already sort of an ambassador program with a reduced price.

But I understand if people still see this as too much.

@-wc- You got a chuckle out of me. I might have been that kid on occasion. 😂

The Direct did get me more interested in playing the game. Without the bundle option, I would prefer it be $70, but probably not enough to wait for a sale. Having the bundle option helps a lot!

I thought BOTW was a bargain for $60.

I thought Link’s Awakening HD was overpriced at $60, but the game sold very well. Personally, I waited for a used copy for less than $45.

We shall see what the missions are like in the free roam sections, but I am hoping it will be like the challenges in Lego City Undercover.

@Anti-Matter @GinMiguel @kalosn @PikminMarioKirby @GrailUK For $80, I want 120 shrines and 999 hidden Toads. 😉

@GrailUK Nice ideas! You are right, the track builder may be a reality with mouse controls. 🤔

Fortnite like battle mode was also my prediction. 🙂

@ZonaiResearcher @ShonenJump121 @SBandy1 @Lizuka The camera side quest, too, was improved. The camera only holds three pictures in the original and 12 pictures on the Wii U version.

@dartmonkey Any concerns of the Joy-Con 2 connectors on the tablet breaking or bending?

EDIT: Alex addresses this around the 25:37 mark. He thinks that they are well protected mechanically and doesn’t think it will be a problem. ☺️

@Maxz Your point is still a good one. Many retailers may not care who buys the products, as long as they are sold. I feel this would be particularly true for online retailers.

@dazzleshell I had a problem with my Switch Pro Controller D-Pad. They might have addressed it with new revs, but it made playing things like Tetris difficult when it would register a direction that I wasn’t intentionally pressing (like Down and Right when I was only pressing Down).

@Maxz Not a naive question at all. The only financial motive that I could think of is wanting to build good relations and loyalty with individual customers. This sounds like genuine concern on wanting to give many customers a positive experience. ☺️

Edit: @Wisestfool beat me to the reply. Just saw that response after not refreshing until after my post. 🙂

@Mana_Knight @JohnnyMind Scalpers will probably target the Mario Kart World bundles. Those could sell for more, but still remain cheaper than buying the items individually.

Otherwise, I agree. The Switch 2 should be easier to get at launch than the OG Switch at its launch.

I wonder if battle mode will be more open too, a la Fortnite.

@Bizzyb Same! I wonder if the Battle mode will take the Fortnite approach where the battle ground area is large to begin with and then shrinks.

I’ll be playing “Do your taxes.”

It has been a busy week. I’ll just play something like Animal Crossing or Tetris Effect to unwind at the end of the day.

@Anti-Matter What is the Switch 2 price in Indonesia?

My pet peeve is when a scalper shows 10-15 NES mini consoles stacked in a pyramid. I feel like this is rubbing it in people’s faces. Just show one in the listing.

The upgrade pack should include it. Or offer it at a discount with the upgrade pack.

I plan on buying Welcome Tour. I am interested in it. If it had been priced at higher than $15, I would have held off for a discount (or more details).

I understand, though, that many are not interested or would prefer to save their money for a different game.

P.S. I like Nintendo’s experimental stuff. I bought Game Builder Garage and enjoyed it.

However, I did not buy Labo until it was deeply discounted.

@Sylamp If 1-2 Switch had been a pack-in and raised the price of the Switch by $50 — I would have preferred keeping them separate.

@Notsoavid From the video, it looks like you still play as the main four. Uncle Scrooge probably gives you missions.

“I'm just a poll stan“. 🤣🤣🤣. I am. 💯.

I’m in NA, though, so didn’t vote.

If only there was an entire game where you pogo around as Uncle Scrooge. 😉😝😢

I look forward to the DLC. 😊

I don’r have the points at the moment. Used them for other things.

They could probably scalp the Mario Kart bundle, but only to the point where it costs the same as buying them separately.
