They can make it 600 dollar for all I care, I’ll buy it since I love the look of it.

And I will sell my current switch 2, as I do not see a reason (yet) to own two switch 2’s.

I would also like a symmetric switch 2 zelda design though, sometime. Just gold, black and white.

@moochy, yes, my thoughts exactly.

Yes plz. Didn’t buy it yet because I figured this would happen

I’ll read a couple of headlines on Nintendolife the day after, December 11th

Can’t wait to see the headlines:

• ‘Ocarina of time wins game of the year’,
• ‘best rpg: fire emblem fortune’s weave’,
• ‘splatoon raiders wins tactical game of the year’, and
• ‘best art direction goes to Star fox’.

@GrailUK it's fully physical as a switch 1 version! That's how I'm getting it. Oh, @dogorilla beat me to it

Super is such a nice drawing. Somebody really made a lot of effort on that one, beautiful.

The only thing against it I think is her running away from her enemies, while in reality we know a cool woman like Samus would meet them head on.

But yeah, it's a clear winner to me.

I think it’s next level games. Because hear me out…

Ok, I got nothing substantial, only that their last main game was 2022 (apart from Metroid Prime 4), because from the snippet the game looks to be made in UE5 and nate the hate knew about the game and he usually has western sources.

@Ryu_Niiyama i could have been more clear indeed.

Bottom line: lots to look forward to!

Urbosa perhaps?

@electroplankton thats EA though. I do not expect them to release anything apart from their yearly sport games after being bought out.

@Ryu_Niiyama yeah, i know. Was just stating that there is even more 3rd party support and listed the ones in my wishlist

Nintendo is forgetting:

• oblivion iv remastered (august)
• trails in the sky 2nd chapter (september)
• kingdom hearts collection (october) and
• moonlighter 2 (november)

Which are all on my wishlist

Great to see confirmation of professor layton for this year btw!

We have had three major entries by now? 1, 2 and 0.

@RareFan @gamer_griff A giant blue pig is difficult to cast. But who knows! They're doing well so far.

@cdriper yeah, backwards compatibility is a big thing here I think. There’s just way more to choose from when you buy a switch 2 compared to what there was in 2017.

@Pillowpants true, but not showing up on the switch 1 list is really expected, since that list starts at 18 million .

I think it has sold 2 million and broke even. Just a guess. I’m looking forward to MP5 which can then be fully created by retrogames again.

I really liked MP4 btw, doesn’t deserve all the flack in my opinion.

@Pillowpants @whereswaverace it has broken it. Ninty confirmed it back in February.

Just not as a switch 2 release.

I expect a partner showcase next week or the week after, and then a switch sports resort direct early September and a Zelda anniversary blowout in late September. And that’s it for this year.

Perhaps something in december to set up early next year

Nintendo is clearly deviating from having multiple big general directs per year.

"We're excited to profit from the company"

Fixed the subheader.

Online only for 2 years.

Worth it......?

@Spider-Kev three years it is!

I can’t keep up with the release cadence…!

I would recommend everyone with a child to get a switch or switch lite and NSO for 5 years if they haven’t touched previous generations.

It’s relatively cheap and there’s so much value in NSO. I replayed Ocarina of Time with my daughter these last few weeks, and Donkey Kong Country. The stars and twinkles in her eyes seeing those games for the first time are worth so much to me…. My goodness, what a joy!

@LucantoVerdi phantasy star online comes to mind.

There are quite a lot of key cards with everything on them in this list.

Nintendo seems to have figured out how to produce smaller cards?

Looks really cool! To me this is what F-zero could/should have been by now.

My most anticipated game of this year.

Funny how they started with the word ‘four’ after ‘three’ houses, and that they made it into fortunes weave. I mean, what is that?

Hair extensions that give you fortune?…

I love this game because of its setting. It really feels like an adventure of Mario - instead of loose levels or environments.

I’m really looking forward to replaying this!

@uncleMike I hope they’re just as revealing, I want to relive my fantasies in 4k this time. 😃

(great) fairies are also such weird creatures. They have massive power and can choose who should live and die apparently, why don’t they take Ganondorf head on?

I’ve just played through it again.

The bottom of the well is a dark, dark place. I think they must have simplified that torture chamber to only get a 10+ rating?

I mean, you’re blowing up piles of flesh in there so that you can crawl through small openings through the bones underneath it. And the walls are covered with skulls and tombs, and torture equipment dripping pools of blood.

@AccessibleDaydream just divide the amount of pixels by 4 and add ai upscaling.

Done!

It will shadow drop in the next Direct.

Could even be an indie direct.

Just wait and see.

Pokemon Conquest please

@yohn777 their fluthering appearance.

@evil-c apparently, capcom always finds a way with some sort of twisted explanation

@waveboy thanks! Now i dont have to play the game anymore 😅 unless i want see myself getting stabbed in the hand.

@averagegamer yeah, challenging

@WaveBoy say what now?

@Zuljaras the daughters arent ghosts? Thats new to me, and exciting actually!

FF6 can be done in hd2d style? I’d take it?

In 10 years there’s nothing left to remake. We’ll get roblox patch 2.7 and fortnite version 12.89 or something.

How I love that i grew up in the 90’s.

I’m so behind on the Resident Evil series, i quit after 5 because I found 7 to be too horrific and 8 a bit too fantastic with ghosts and all. I do not remember why I didnt touch 6…? However, I do have them now in my backlog now with the new triple simultaneous release. And I like that 7 and 8 are a separate story and 9 seems to be getting back to the original umbrella story. So I should get into that! On a cold lonely evening in a basement somewhere. Where nobody can hear me scream.

@Jason_Feiner hey! I just saw you post every few days that there are new music songs on the nintendo music app, and I personally appreciate it, but there is a contact form button at the button of the page where you can select news suggestion! Might reach the editors even quicker

Never dared touching Final Fantasy XIV since WoW took over my life for a few years and I didn’t want that to happen again.

Is there an overarching story? And is it connected to any of the other FF in some way?

@UpsideDownRowlet God apparently created bugs 🐛 so you’re correct there!

@PikaPhantom you might be right. I thought two years ago they would conclude the service with the original Tetris theme, but it’s still continuing.

I wouldn’t mind much though. For me it has turned into a collectathon. 😅 I only hop online whenever a new theme gets released, i dont play outside of those events anymore… which I used to…

Yeah baby! Finally getting the last one i missed. I think it was #30 or something.

I’m a little afraid now though that they’ll ditch the service.

@Spider-Kev What do you mean?

Aren't you playing this game for the plot?

@liam_doolan do we know if the physical version contains the Expansion Pass, including Torna?

Impressive stuff, Switch 2!

Visual upgrades? Which visual upgrades….?

Absolutely not worth 50 bucks

@Chocobo_Shepherd this is a co-op game, shown in the last treehouse

That guardian writer just wanted some exposure.

A 4/10 usually means barely playable and riddled with bugs. Which, of course, it’s not

@VirtualVisage87 maybe not post on a social platform if you don't want replies and don’t want to answer questions.

@VirtualVisage87 overpriced? 20 bucks a year is a steal compared to competitors?

@Sindayl poorly emulated? Don’t know what you’re referring to.

@misima why is it a ripoff? 20 dollars for a year?

@Kilamanjaro yeah, or an exclamation mark behind their name: Game, stop!✋
