Don't worry, you'll have a "normal" Direct soon, probably in August...

Joy-Con drifting XD

I'm more than excited, I'm Bananzaed !

A Direct Kong Punch

The visual quality of the Bravely Default Remastered on Switch 2 is poor, even if it was for the first Switch. I'm disappointed when they talk about quality.
I hope they'll renew with success, with honor.

Effectively, dazzleshell, but after 8 years and amazing sells, it was not a big loss for them offering this content to new players. Not because they have to, just because they should. Something customer friendly is more attractive for everything else.

Banjo-Kazooie, and Rayman first.
Then, all the others XD

Between 200/2010, my second favourite game, after Zelda Twilight Princess.
By Hideki Kamiya, best announcement !

If the game isn't the ultimate polished version, it's a shame, for this price, but...It's more like "do this old game if you missed it" than a new entry.
If it was new, yes, I would expect far more, especially looking at what Super Mario Bros. Wonder did !

Rareware was my favourite studio back in the SNES and even more N64 period. I cried when I saw that Nintendo was no more their "owner" (they weren't, only 49%).
But even if I am a big fan of Nintendo, they mistreated Rare, their jewel.
Critisizing what they did with their platformer games (the best for me in that period, and for 10 years), not supporting Banjo-Tooie (my favourite), modifying Dinosaur Planet, "destroying" Conker (for the best !? I would like to have Twelve Tales too).
Honestly, Rare was looking for other partners at that time. The Stamper brothers were the gods, but they left videogame early after that. Owning Rare without Stamper Bros. is not the same thing as owning them in the golden era.
They maybe would have give the IP to other (like microsoft do : Battletoads, Killer Instinct, and Perfect Dark on X Box One/series aren't made by Rare...).
I dream of having Stamper Brothers, and still all their legendary musicians working on their titles (but it's easier for that part).
If Switch had games from the golden Era of Rare...my God !
But we can say that with other franchises that disappear (F-Zero / Starfox/Pilotwings/1080°/Wave Race/Excite...Bike XD, etc...Donkey Kong !!!)

We need better camera, better controls, and less difficulty on certain things, like minecart, mini-games, bosses...
I did 100% the original game, but not a second time, event if I loved it, and I want to play this one too (but it's surprising having a remake so soon...).

Thanks to @Farts_Ahoy for a rare smart commentary.
Ubisoft is massive, has a lot of studios, employees, and IPs.
They're in a bad situation because of their politics (Ubi Connect, Microtransaction, NFT, etc...).
Better not talking about sexual harassment or things like that, nobody knows if it was rare cases or not, like in a lot of companies. Reading people being happy about the fall of Ubi just because it's a giant is painful. So easy to get happy when you're not concerned.
It's an enterprise that needs to be restructured. The game developement is a priority.
They do good games most of the time. The reason people say they're mediocre is because those games look the same in their structure, or don't feel new, and are bugged from the beggining. Those games need to restart with more soul inside, and carefully developped, until the end.
Ubisoft needs to live again, not dying. Just a matter of cycle. they took bad decision over this decade, and they need to focus on what could help them becoming anew a great enterprise.
Layoffs are unevitable, before restructuring and employing anew. That's the same cycle for everything in life, so why bashing Ubisoft ?
I know why. Mankind is snarky, it's easier than thinking of what could be done for the best.
I'm not fluent in English, sorry.

I just would like Nintendo to hack the pirates. Every time they open their smartphones or computers, a lot of Gifs with Nintendo headchiefs laughing and mocking them pop up XD

For sure European people doesn't have any taste, Nintendo Switch undeperformed compared to PS4, for example. We could have twice the number of sales, at least, if it performed the same rate than the rest of the world. I'm talking about hardware sales.
Excuse my English, and the not subtile thought.

YEEEEEAAAHHH My Wii U's Gamepad was dead, even if I have 300 hours to re-do again, I'm so happy XDDD

@scoot Nobody knows if another people replacing you would have appreciated the game. Nintendo needs all kind of feelings about their games, even if it's negative, because they need to understand why people dislike something. You did your job.

Excuuuuuuse me Princess, we don't really know what happened with Michel Ancel before he left the company. Even if it seems true that it was tyrannic at this time, we don't have any proof, and only one side of arguments.
If you think that every game is cook in a perfect and clean kitchen, you're worng. Even our legend Miyamoto had its bad times, but I don't see anybody say "I won't forget and never buy a Mario Game again...".
I think it's an too easy way to deal with the matters, without intelligence (sorry, I don't say that smoothly in English), but it's a right, of course.

Ubisoft Montpellier, their best team...Rayman, PoP TLC, helping on Mario + Rabbids...who lost their head chief too. Nooooo...

Sega is benefiting of Nintendo's presence within the building. If it was at 2 kilometers, less hype for going there. But it's smart. Like Sonic facing SM Wonder, lol XD

If I was in a pressure room, I would probably play Switch all days long. Thank you boss for giving me free time, and paying me for that XD

Alarmo online mode spotted XD

@-wc- Sorry, I can't, I'm not fluent in English, I just can do simple sentences XD

@KBuckley27 It's because you follow an ideology instead of respect of laws and principles. It's based on emotion, and nothing logical. I won't excuse every stealing just because it's made by a nice (or not) poor guy. What's your opinion if the seller was rich ?
We don't know if the man says truth or not, but we will see.

As expected, the game is broken by speedrunners

Finally, the Next entry of Smash series needs his full attention XD

Since early 2023, level 5 efficiency is like "see you next year, preparing the next year who will prepare the year after, and the year after".
Where are the games ?
Aaaaah Level 5 lost me since a long time.

Interesting, but I don't understand everything in this trailer.
Nice ending concerning the release, platforms, ans price XD
I have to "yo-kai" watch the Level 5 present for the other games too.

@link3710 PS5 Pro was announced after the fall, ans this fall came after the price increased of the standard model of PS5.
Waiting the PS5 Pro doesn't explain everything; and the poor amount of Astro Bot sold follow this weak time for PS5.
We will see half November if it was only that.
I hope for Sony it's nothing much, but the society doesn't take care of Japan's customers. They're leaving Sony more and more at every new generation of Playstation System.

PS5 in disgrace, for the second week. Is it it's end ?
Poor Astro Bot.

A better way for selling more accessories, but I'm ok XD

Mankind is so disrespectful.
Who will be killed by Nintendo, this time ?
Yes, in France, for example, they sell the product when they receive it, in certain stores...

@Notsoavid Yes, it's called "Cadence of Hyrule : Crypt of the NecroMancer", this time...

Nintendo always makes this kind of overview trailer, and a lot of publicity one month and a half ahead of the relaease, for the most of their games.
Even M&L, and Jamboree had publicities this month.
Everything is normal.

Pauline is great, but...Ninji is better as a non-gender character (lol). I like Ninji.
But (again), I prefer Rosalina (Harmonie, in French).

I agree with @Poodlestargenerica ! More variety of rules and customization is welcome, beacuse there is frustrating things for me in those games. I win 80% of mini-games, have 1 more star in the end and........lose with the ending roulette of random retributions (always in favor of CPU, even if we're 3 humans...). It's something that angers me, and I almost never play alone because of that, even if inside me, I would like to do it.

I even want an organic world, just for the fun of being in a world, more than in a "select mode" style. The first "Super MP" was a bit like that.

Excuse my english.

Yeaaaaaah !!
Finally, the 3rd game from Good Feel on Switch is here !
Even if it's not localized in French language, I'll take it !

@Krisi Yes, I was thinking of Switch exclusives, apologies.

1-2 Switch and Everybody 1-2 Switch are nice games.
They're juste made for special circumstances.
If you eat raw meat with a spoon, you won't like it, but if you wait for having a good knife, and some cooking, you will taste it differently. This is this kind of game.
Games have different specificities, and those ones are not made for being bought alone as your next game to do. Just pick it with some friends.
Just a bad point : they're too expansive at launch (50 and 30 euros, respectively).
Reading commentaries made me laugh XD

Stephan Bole is French, and the top 5 best selling games every week in France is for Nintendo (physical releases).
The Nintendo store at Japan Expo in Paris was a huge success.
Or why not in Switzerland, but it could cost a lot coming for a lot of europeans, maybe. I guess it depends of the market.
Nintendo underperformed with Switch in Europe, compared to PS4 sales. It's Sony's Territory...I hope more light for Nintendo here, in the old continent.

Three Houses, but I love them both. Good soundtracks !!

I like Soliani a lot.
Mario + Rabbids are my favorite RPG too (but I love them all, M&L, Paper, RPG...), because of the battles all differents.
Beautiful technical and artistic games !
Really one of my favorite serie on Switch.

Yes, in a brutal DMC/Bayonetta-Like.
The story begins after being banished, and he's in "Hell", reclaiming the throne, defeating the bosses he will summon in his army later. Possibility to use thme in some strategy plan for taking down other circles of his inferno.
Becoming King of this underworld will grant him the power to break the seal in the end...The End.
Or maybe he deserves a game less than Tingle, for Nintendo...XD

@axelhander Are you serious ? The only thing I read in your words is a frustrated man showing egoist immaturity. "Rich companies are evil"
My God, what a caricature.
Earn money, don't think you owe it all, and respect the intellectual properties and laws. That's what and adult do.
If you want something, pay for it.
Or if you're such a good man, open your home to all people that don't have one, and feed them too.
The only thing stealers do is complaining about the right they don't have to steal, looking for pathetic excuses...
Even in this case, Nintendo adverted them before...

@axelhander Prove it, and attack them.
Stealing somebody is not fair, no matter if it's rich or poor.

Yes, just a new AA, the long awaited remasters, and another "small seller" AAA for the end of the year (like Hyrule Warriors was in 2020...or Metroid Prime 4 XD) + a lot of discounts and player's choice games editions.

When somebody ask to a saler what game could be buy with a Switch, this one says MK8D the most of the time. Those amount of sales is normal. PS2 will be beaten, for sure. 160 M of PS2 is for 17 years (155 to 158 after 11 to 13 years). Switch will rule for a decade, for sure.

@Toads-Friend Thank you, Toads special messenger ! I admit I dream of Captain Toad TT being bundled with any kind of Switch model, and even being directly implemented ! Like Astrobot for PS5. It's a game that needs to fill the hearts of all livings things on earth !
Maybe the Astrobot Messenger will talk to me too...

@Toads-Friend I would enjoy it, as I try to convince everybody to play Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

And still in progress.
They can surpass Sword/Shield.

@NoLife You can wait, but you will like them a lot !! Play them with an audio headset, they both have good musics !!
I love particularly DKC Tropical Freeze. I did it last month, after 10 years...an amazing game !
Astral Chain is beautiful (but enough variety of environment, but really sufficient), and is complex with battle gameply, but a good alternative to Bayonetta (that is my favorite, but it depends on personnal atempts for a game).
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...what else ?

Just a recall, nothing abnormal.
Third party exclusives are waiting too (Level 5 games ? Picross 3DS collection = 9 games XD Fitness Boxing Hatsune Miku...).

I agree, Nintendo could have interest for Switch becoming the most sold hardware of history, but...for what purpose ? The next hardware will come before it happens, it could be dangerous making publicities for a old hardware.
An enterprise is only interested in business.
I want the Switch to surpass everything, because it's an hybrid one, and a wonderful hardware, with great games.
PS2 is considered sol between 155 to 159 million.
At least, 20 million more Switch in 2 or 3 years could be nice to reach this goal. 160 million is a beautiful number.

Because everybody interested in TOTK was already playing Switch, and buy it quickly.
For some newcomers, BOTW is an "obligation" before doing TOTK.
For me, TOTK is better, but BOTW has a revolutionnary aura.
