Don't know yet but probably 9 or 10. The biggest issue is the nonsensically bad character select screen. The second biggest issue is that 3 lap tracks aren't the standard for online races.

I don't know what the reward is for doing all the missions (my guess is nothing) but I think a great reward would be a vehicle with perfect stats that's exclusive to free roam.

I noticed the same thing with NieR: Automata. It's also listed as incompatible but seemed to run just fine with a steady 30fps. Hopefully it gets a 60fps patch though.
Same thing with the Kill la Kill game although I only booted it up and didn't check the gameplay itself.

No thanks. This should be the default. On all modern games I always have to immediately go to options to invert the x and y axis. I don't understand how people can play this way.

@SuperBro64 Exactly! Or they could've even made it connect with a second Switch with the GBA app. Or even better, use Zelda Notes for it.

I spent an hour trying to reach Tingle only to find out the Tingle Tuner straight up doesn't work which is utterly disappointing. Also means it's impossible to 100% Wind Waker.

"We’ve increased the number of characters that can be selected from the start."

What does this mean? Does it mean there will less characters to unlock? Or did they add new characters we don't know about yet?

@1day I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but I went to the Switch 2 Experience where I got to try out GameCube NSO

@Anakin playing them now requires me to put the disc in my Wii, boot up my Wii, put batteries in my Wii Remote, launch the game, untangle my GCN controller and plug it into my Wii alongside a Memory Card. Playing them on Switch 2 is as easy as booting up the NSO app and comes with handy features like save states.

@Dom_31 Don't get me wrong I love the first Mario+Rabbids game (haven't played the second one) but they're the reason we never got Rayman 4. I would want a new Rayman game to be about the Rayman world and the Rabbids would dilute that. Rayman has it's own style of humor that's very different from the Rabbids and all around it would be a huge shame to finally get a new Rayman game after all these years and have it feature the Rabbids.

Yes, new Rayman please. Keep the Rabbids out of it and success is guaranteed.

I have no intention of using GameChat so hopefully its mere existence doesn't impact the games for me.

Edit: I see that 3GB RAM is used for the OS. Hopefully some of that can at least be used for themes and menu music.

@somnambulance I got to try it out and the mouse is very sensitive. I played Welcome Tour and there they specifically say you can use your trousers for it. Seriously, mouse mode works much better than you would expect.

I'm currently at the Switch 2 Event and mouse mode is insane. Switch 2 is definitely innovative.

DK64 is the best DK game and it has great music. It was on Wii U VC so it should come to NSO, hopefully soon as a way to hype up Bananza.

$249.99 and they can't even afford to put the game on the cardridge. This is absurd.

This game is one of the reasons I wanted a Switch 2 in the first place so I really hope this is real and the game doesn't take too long to come to Switch 2.

I use it every single day. I've already gone through the entire Fire Emblem history, which was shocking to see because Nintendo talked about all the Japanese only games. All translated and localized for my country.

Now please actually translate and let us buy all these games Nintendo. You clearly know they exist.

This game is incredible. My favourite fighting game outside of Smash. It has a ton of content and never feels repetitve. The story mode is also very in depth although I remember the story itself not making any sense.

Worst and most useless Direct I've ever watched. Told us basically nothing we didn't already know. If only they at least hinted at more characters and things being in the game, perhaps unlockable by doing the missions in free roam, it would've made me more excited for the game. Now I'm left thinking we know everything there is to know about the game, which is very disappointing.

Still gonna get it day 1 though.

I hope Cataquack gets different colours like in the original Peach Beach

The Special Cup was missing so it's probably unlockable with Rainbow Road being the final course as usual.

After 20 years I finally beat the story on my original copy the beginning of this year. I dare anyone to beat chapter 7, it's probably the hardest thing I've ever done in a video game. The final chapter also left me shaking after I finally finished three laps without making a single mistake.

Needless to say, I won't be doing that again anytime soon if ever.

@Crono1973 Companies sell products to make money. They know scalpers are a thing so they can include them in their calculations for demand. If the scalpers then buy the product it only helps make the company even more money. It's a simple trick to increase profits while simultaneously getting rid of the problem.

@Yoshi3 I have a copy of FSA but I've only ever played it solo. It's decent but I'm sure multiplayer is where the real fun comes from. I hope they add it to NSO to make it more accessible.

Interestingly at 0:35 they show Tingle saying his catchphrase with "Become an item!", the item in question being the Tingle Tuner. The fact they're highlighting this moment in the trailer gives me some hope that they may have found a way to make the Tingle Tuner work.

Edit: on the topic of which version is better, the Tingle Tuner is exclusive to the original so that's one reason to play this version over HD.

Scalpers shouldn't even be a thing, especially for products that aren't limited. Nobody should ever buy a new product above the official asking price. If nobody buys from them they will go out of business and the problem will sort itself out.

I'm part of the chosen few and already ordered my Switch 2 during work yesterday. I got the bundle along with the Pro controller, GameCube controller and a micro SD Express card which totalled to over €700 so I won't be spending much more money on games this year.

Mario Kart World is the only game for me. With the new game prices I'm going to have to be a lot more selective about which games I buy. I'll probably pick up Welcome Tour though if it has some nice minigames because I do like to try all the new features the system has.

Honestly DK Bananza hasn't impressed me that much. I LOVE DK64 and Bananza seems too different from that so I'll need to be convinced.

Too easy! I'm happy with my 4th place since I took the time to look at all the answers. Playing all the Zelda games finally payed off.

Laughs in European

I want to know about GBA connectivity. The Tingle Tuner in Wind Waker requires it and if they eventually add Four Swords Adventures it also needs it for multiplayer.

It's PRIME time

What's insane about this is that he can beat the game faster while blindfolded than I can normally. Not that I've ever attempted a speedrun or even recorded my time but I'm sure it would take me at least 2 hours. Blindfolded I wouldn't even be able to get a single star.

@Sylamp the Wii is about twice as old as the N64 was when it got added to VC. The 3DS is also a little older.

I'm not saying this will happen as I'm skeptical about file sizes and the fact they've already started porting those games but saying they aren't old enough simply isn't true.

There isn't really any game on the Switch I can't live without. I voted for Ultimate even though I haven't even really played it since it stopped getting updated. I'm glad someone voted for Hentai Waifu 5 so I don't have to make that joke.

Thinking about it though, in terms of how much I go back to it maybe I should've voted Pokemon Scarlet since it's helped me complete my living dex.

Like Zuljaras said, this game never came out in Europe. It only ever got a Virtual Console release which is an emulation of the NA version.

Graphics this, graphics that

The gameplay looks super fun to me and exactly what people have been asking for. I really feel like it might become one of my favourite Pokemon games.

I never trade in consoles. Also I'm keeping it so that I can do things like trade Pokemon with myself.

Europe and America shouldn't be lumped together here. They have entirely different logos and you've split them up for less in the past.

Guess it's an easy win for Japan this week.

24/24 easily. Though I would've struggled with some if it had been open questions.

I voted and was like "What, 25%? That's pretty good". But turns out I was the only one out of 4 voters that voted yes. Guess I'll have to check back later.

I'm one of the lucky few that managed to get a ticket. I'm really excited to see what the "Switch 2 Experience" is all about.

King Bob-omb was also spotted

Since it's blank maybe it's a delete save data button. A simple press on the button deletes the save data of the game you're currently playing.

This pretty much confirms Mario Kart 9 as the launch title.

Edit: Which I'm totally okay with. We've been waiting for a new Mario Kart for 10 years now.

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on Gamecube is an incredible game. It's an RPG with really cool mechanics (though apparently taken from FFX which I've yet to play) and a nice parallel side adventure to the actual story.

Let's see:
30 games played over 689 hours
1. Dragon Ball the Breakers: 256 hours
2. Dragon Quest XI S: 151 hours
3. Pokemon Scarlet: 50 hours

Makes sense. Dragon Quest XI was the big game for me this year and Breakers is 50% sitting in queue waiting.

I'm really hoping for a repeat of 7 years ago with Bayonetta, where they had a trailer for 3, with 1 + 2 coming in February. Except this time it will be for Metroid Prime. Prime 4 trailer with Prime 2 and 3 announced for February.

I'm not really expecting it but it's the best I can hope for.

Miyamoto even mentioned it in the SNW Direct so I really do expect it to be coming very soon. It just feels like the right time.

Also Donkey Kong 64 is one of the best games ever made. Just wanted to put that out there.

I used to love this game on pc back in the day. Playing it on console will feel weird but the review did take some of my worries away. I'll probably pick this up some day.
