Maybe they were thinking of doing a Splatoon Direct this week hence the rumors. But decided just to announce it

Sorry but I hope they get all these “updated Switch 1” games out of the way pretty quick. I at least hope they aren’t devoting much manpower to them. For a company that already relies heavily on remakes over and over, releasing games 2-5 years after the original with pretty (IMO) minimal updates just doesn’t interest me at all. But I know a lot of others care more than me about frame rate, resolution, etc

Actually, I’ve completely worn the rubber off my left joy con stick, but the right not nearly as much. So this isn’t completely useless info/idea. Don’t think I’d ever mix and match, but since you can buy joy con separately it’s not a bad feature to have

@pr0d1gy1980 kind of amazes me Nintendo customer support us not open on weekends? Especially THIS weekend. That’s bad.

Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch 1

I enjoyed XC 1. XC 2 and 3 not so much mostly for the over the top and hard to follow story and unnecessary changes to combat. Xenoblade X is much more like 1 to me. Simpler story and better combat. Really enjoying it.

God also intended you to play with detached joycons, so docked is the only way!!!

These buttons seem easy to push without meaning to

I never use GameStop because so often if you buy a “new” game there at full price they have already removed the shrink wrap and stuck a sticker RIGHT ON THE BOX.

Sorry but I think they are terrible and this was no surprise at all. I will walk into a store and buy my Switch 2 where I can inspect the box has nothing applied to it or been opened

And there is stock at all the big stores around me. I knew this and it’s why I didn’t pre-order. Because pre orders often get “sticker star’d”

@Zufolobelisk uhhhh the point of this is exactly what you said- nobody is going to do this themselves so this guy did a video of it for everyone to see

The stickers are pretty lame tbh. I could see those starting to peel many years down the road

I loved Hot Shots back on the PS1 or 2 can’t recall. Golf is one sports video game I may play every few years. If reviews aren’t really high for this I’ll just wait for new Mario Golf

Great jam in this trailer

@Uncle_Franklin
Exact same here. I enjoyed it. But it just wasn’t memorable at all. Hardly remember playing it tbh and it was just last fall. No desire to replay it either.

Detached joy cons for life

Maybe Limited Run Games will release a physical version

I liked how music would fade in as you got closer to each village/area

Tarrey Town was indeed great

I deeply regret selling consoles and games in the past. And I hear this from almost everyone. I’m in a better financial spot which helps but if you can, I advise you to try your hardest to hold onto your old games and consoles. It’s not worth it. Try to save money in other ways. Put off getting the Switch 2 for a while. Do whatever you can because it’s one of my biggest regrets selling my Gamecube, Advance, etc

All the Switch 2 games will still be there for you to buy a year from now. If you are older than a teenager you should not experience FOMO anymore, either

Switch 2 only has 3 games Ive added to my log. Mk, DK, and Elden Ring. I still have about 15 on my log on Switch. I will wait a while.

@Koda1000 you know there is a very extensive built in “Game Tips” menu for Xenoblade X DE?

MarioKart 64 is the best multiplayer video game ever

I think she will be a perfect fit. Hard to think of anyone better now that I think about it and look her up.

Link will be the tough one to cast.

I’m all for this! She would be a great choice. Very good actor, looks just like Zelda now that I think about it.

I still won’t care that much about this movie. Every Zelda game is different and movie should do it’s own thing too. Can’t go into this hoping it will fit YOUR expectations of what Zelda is.

She looks the part for sure! I bet she would be a great Zelda

@sanderev an option to go to a home screen at any time. Just also an option to bypass it from the start

I know, first world problems. I absolutely love that it takes like 2 clicks and 3 seconds to jump back into my game whenever I power my switch on. So I’m fine if Switch 2 keeps everything the same there

Just give us option to get rid of Home Screen anyway. I turn on my switch and immediately open whatever game I’m playing. I spend 1 second on menu

@Solid_Python
I admit I read into this too quickly. My guess is this will not apply to physical Switch 2 games on or after launch day

If it does require internet connection for physical games, and they don’t make it clear that an internet connection is required, I’m sorry but that is bad form

Sure internet is ubiquitous in this day and age IN MOST DEVELOPED AREAS. But what about some other countries, or people in very rural areas?

THAT IS BS!

does it say on the box that you need an internet connection?

I’ve owned my Switch for 5 years and played 50 physical games just fine without ever connecting it online

I would think this does not apply to physical Switch 2 games

I just buy case for the actual console itself. That’s all that needs to be super snug and protected anyway. I have a sweet neon green glow in the dark super mushroom case for my Switch. The controllers, games, dock, cords, etc I just throw into regular travel bags

@Misima
Patches and updates are not required for physical games or consoles to work.

Again, I have played about 50 physical games on my Switch and it has NEVER been connected to the internet. I have yet to come across a game that didn’t work start to finish. I’m buying games sometimes from 2017. I did buy my console in 2021.

I see nowhere it says connecting your Switch 2 online will be required for anything if the full game is on the carts you buy

For Zelda they could do a couple small rides. An Epona Merry Go Round, a Red Dragon ship (Wind Waker) that rocks back and forth and goes upside down. Maybe an interactive walk through where you have a sword and walk through lost woods and a dungeon. If it’s a coaster a Death Mountain theme. Zora water ride.

I always expected one this summer. Still so much to learn about Prime 4 if it really is releasing this year. Plus I think they will tease their big holiday release which I still think will be 3D Mario. Hopefully they take 3D Mario in a brand new direction/new team

I guess you would also have to steal a physical game cart to play anything. I wonder when Nintendo will turn the servers on if you did get a digital Mario Kart bundle early. I would think they’d have the servers on a bit in advance for testing/prep

@Misima you can’t set up the system without internet? Is that confirmed?

I bought a Switch in 2021 and have NEVER connected it to the internet. I’ve played 50 physical games start to finish just fine

I’d be shocked if you have to connect Switch 2 online just to turn it on or play a physical cart

No way a rogue employee doesn’t sneak one of these. We will see leaks any day then

I guess my unpopular opinion on the series is 8 is towards the bottom for me. Still I give it a 7 or “good” score. The character you controlled just felt too big and the game clunky. Mario Kart World looks to fix those issues I had. Very excited for it to get me back into some MK!

@jake1421 mouse would definitely be better than Switch motion controls for star bit collecting. But you also need to waggle that right-hand remote.

Hopefully they release a sensor bar and Wii remote whenever they start doing Wii virtual console. World of Goo and games like this just aren’t anywhere faithful

I think the reason they didn’t port this to Switch is because you have to collect so many star bits and they play an important role in game. Switch motion controls aren’t anywhere close to Wii pointer controls.

Merry Go Epona

“Perhaps a little NSFW”?

“Taking a load off on her bed”??

Link gets redesigned every game. I think we can stop obsessing over these very minor changes to DK for the first time in ages

I voted “yup and I own one”

You should vote that way too

The driving between courses in cups seemed unnecessary from the footage I’ve watched

And if you’re not a fan? Great way to grow a business buddy!!

Glad you walked 10 miles in the snow everyday to scoop ice cream

Does the Smash Bros. Gamecube controller for Switch 1 have analog triggers? And will that controller work for the Switch 2 and Switch 2 Gamecube games?

Do you ever play as the characters? I think you simply see them in the selection screen and never again. It’s deceiving

We got Red box’d

More pregnant

I liked the Nintendo hat though. Kind of a fourth wall thing going on there

Still have about 15 backlog games so it will be at least 1-2 years before I get my switch 2

@nohr7 I noticed the figure you can buy is also that version of Link. Maybe they wanna fall back on the classic green tunic Link because it’s the iconic green and they are using that in the movie. Or maybe it’s just an old statue but I doubt that since they are selling the figurine too
