I could maybe forgive the needed accessory IF the entire lineup was out day 1. I couldn't imaging owning this thing for 2 years and still only having like 7 of the available games

I really don't understand the "I don't like one thing so I'm giving up on everything" mindset. I didn't think it made any sense to re-release DKC Returns HD or whatever at all, let alone at the price they wanted. I hate that over the last 4 or 5 years Nintendo had really prioritized JRPG Xeno junk on the system. But I just don't buy that stuff. I don't say I'm done with Nintendo as a company because I don't agree with everything they do.

By far the best part of the direct

Every direct i just say, "please don't end with some lame JRPG like fire emblem" and yet I know 95% of directs end with some lame jrpg

@Ichiban fart riders is a great idea. Different foods give different farts for speed boosts, leave behind a stench trail, or the Arby's Cheddar meal where you spin people out with your "i guess that wasn't just a fart" power

They didn't say that description is for Metroid Prime 4, it's the blanket of what makes a game T for Teen. Animated Violence, Blood, and In game purchases are the reasons MP4 got it, not depicting gambling or strong language

The comparisons to Nintendo are so dumb. Would you like Nintendo to make one game every 7 years and only employ 3 people? A Nintendo game doesn't need to just make enough to support a single college dorm room worth of people. It's supporting an entire company, including the people working on other games until those are done to pick up the cycle.

It was an interesting is that sadly didn't turn out interesting in the end. Needed to be edited way down

But why do you think you'd only shout the last word in Princess Peach: Showtime! or Warioware: Move It!? Not to mention an exclamation point after showtime or move it both seem like completely logical times to use one

I mean, 6 years is a long time to wait for something people backed on kickstarter. And I don't forgive them the "it's a 3 person team" argument either because they could hire people. But it's nice that they finally finished it. Of course they are already hyping post launch content before the game is out, just like some major developers who would be getting a hard time for doing the same thing

Giving Hollow Knight another go as I always bounce off early. Still not immediately loving it but this time am using a guide because the punishment for getting lost and dying early in the game is way too high. Hopefully if I make it far enough to get more items it will grab me

Having never played the original I'm not sold on this yet. I need to see that it has way more depth than what they showed. The parts I've seen look fun, but for like a couple of hours maybe.

It's a pretty bad "game" though. The experience was cool and unique once but the gameplay was a boring chore and the visuals were bad for the GameCube

7 for me because I've never played the original and while this looks fun it didn't convince me it's worth being the big holiday title of the Switch 2's first year

One of the best games ever made. It's a shame Nintendo didn't do right by the franchise after the first game. I was able to sell my copy for nearly $200 to help pay for my Switch 2

$60 is crazy expensive

@Burning_Spear Nintendo games are always on the cart

Interesting opinions on here about how much hype a nearly year old game that fell off the public scene a month after release deserves.

I didn't finish the Shinobi demo but what I played was pretty dull and certainly didn't make me feel like a ninja. Ragebound, even at 30fps, feels quicker and snappier.

Is so weird that for the last few years my PS5 has been miles better for action games than the Switch/S2 and the Switch has a billion dang RPGs i could not care less about

This is not last minute. They certainly plan all of these well in advance. The strategy the last number of directs, not counting the Switch 2 reveal or game specific ones for MKW or DKB has been to announce them the day before. This is right in line with what they've been doing.
Also crazy to say Nintendo doesn't have much this year, when in a 6 month period they'll have Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, DragXDrive, Kirby Air Ride, potentially Metroid Prime 4, and while not exactly first party a Pokemon game. I have a PS5 as well which I enjoy and I think Sony literally has Ghost of Yotei and nothing else this year

Can we get Indiana Jones?

On the one hand it would be nice if the other VAs knew they were being replaced (though I'm sure if they really cared about the role they would've realized it before launch), and on the other hand it's not like these characters have a ton of dialog so we're not losing iconic performances

@Toastmaster the Wii U's external hard drive support was awful. Even at the time it was hard to know if what you had would work, the system couldn't power it even with using both USB ports on top of that. It's made buying a hard drive for one these days basically impossible because no one sells externally powered drives now and barely anyone did at the time

Is the article "best" or actually "every single switch 2 case with no distinction on which are best"?

Here's an enticing reason, the plastic won't be left on the planet for hundreds of years after you die.

Miyamoto is like Steven Spielberg. Media forms need people who can tap into things that will resonate with the majority of people.

He's making a product and he wants it to be the best product it can be. We would be so lucky if everyone making a product thought that way. If the main focus was creating art they wouldn't make enough money to stay in business or employ people

You can put WW ahead of Chibi and I wouldn't fight you if you had Sunshine ahead of it,but nothing else on this list comes close. I think people may start to realize the entire F-Zero catalog stinks and there is a good reason they don't get made anymore

Sometimes you have to take away people's choices because they hold on so hard to the past they won't even try new things otherwise

I never understand why people say, "this game is broken" for things like this

Just as well off skipping Arkham Knight

@DwaynesGames twice I logged in, won my first match which gives you 100 points so you instantly unlock the theme and then turned off the system. It’s crazy because I only have like 11 wins total.

A government working for people instead of corporations wouldn’t let this happen.

Not taking the time to make it would have been a better decision than making it and charging $10 for it

I mean, 2 years out basically is a goal, not a set date

I’m looking forward to the game but that was not a good trailer. So slow in the pacing and it’s starts with ‘scan everything to get doors to open’ and ended with ‘use telekinesis to open doors’. Love door opening gameplay

They have too many different apps

Easy prediction is just a bunch of lame jrpgs since that’s all they’ve had the last 3 years

Of course ebay sales are higher. A store isn’t going to give you what it sells for, how would they make money?

It would make ZERO sense to launch it the same day SF Nintendo store opens. You’d want that running smoothly, know you don’t have any point of sale issues, etc, before doing a system launch

It’s more likely it doesn’t get a Switch 1 release than it is that it doesn’t get a Switch 2 release

I need someone to tell me how to enjoy Hollow Knight. I love metroid style games but HK is so incredibly annoying at the start. When you die it’s such a big punishment it puts me off playing further.

Nice to get thru 20 questions and have the page reload and get rid of my progress

The thing about the bezels is, to me, it’s super noticeable side by side but if I’m playing a game I’m looking at the screen not the area around it

There really need another “unlock themes you’ve missed” event

Japan’s would be a cooler case to have in a collection but not better box art

Busted out the WiiU to play a little tropical freeze and my god this system is almost unplayable. The loading is awful.

Probably the laziest port of a game no one was clamoring for Nintendo has ever done

System has sadly become WAY too much of a JRPG machine the last few years. And the crumbs Nintendo gives those of us not interested are like 'here's a Donkey Kong game for literally the 3rd time'.
