Too bad they didn't just put a good screen in the Switch 2. Honestly, I can barely stand to play it handheld it's so blurry, dim and not striking at all.

Too long, key card, love Octopath, but a pass.

Wow, about half of us like it and half don't. I loved it and was bummed it missed Halloween release date. It's like a modern take on classic top down Zelda mixed with Castlevania 3 atmosphere. I am definitely gonna be 1 of 500,000....

Completely absurd. When the Super Nintendo came out, I remember them saying "Guys, we cant quite get Super Mario Bros 1 running well, gonna have to delay this a few more years. Video games suck now...

Why do you need that much stuff downloaded at any one time? You can only play one game or maybe hop around to a few. Just uninstall and play what's on the Switch. And clean your room, it's a mess!

I could not think of a game that didn't exist but I wanted the whole time more than this. Dungeon crawler. Deck builder. Vampire Susrvivors. Day one.

I felt a brief rush of euphoria seeing the Megaman thumbnail....and then it's pulled away from me...BRING BACK THE BLUE BOMBER!

Wait, did I miss something? How in any way shape or form would a Mario Galaxy movie have the Inverted Pyramid? It's a totally different game and universe!

I wish there was a way to incorporate her somersault jumping into the game, like hold R when you jump and the camera would zoom out to a 3rd person perspective...sorry. I just played through Super Metroid. Man, that was one amazing game. I might dare to say the best on the system?!....I hope your new game is a smashing success, my dear Samus!

Metroid is my all time favorite series. Dread is the greatest 2d game ever made. Will this be the greatest 3d game ever made? The hype has become unreal...

Allowing developers the ability to fix games post-release via internet patches=Pandoras box opening....

Hard pass from a big RE fan...

This controller design is epic lame. Two words: Chainsaw Controller.

@Kid_Sickarus Right you is! Could you imagine playing a game like Elden Ring on a Switch? I wish they would just not release stuff like this...

Why does anyone care, this will run like garbage. There is no way I won't be playing this on PS5. Nintendo has not ONCE released a game of this graphical and performance magnitude that runs well.

I knew this game would be amazing when the guy announcing it had the courage to do so w an apple on his head....I was not expecting...
1 To love the farm Sim aspect SO much....
2. Live the sound effects...
3. LOVE the soundtrack!
What a gift...

What an unbelievably out of touch statement. "You know, as the new CEO of McDonald's, I think anyone anywhere should be able to enjoy our fries! Starting today you can get them at any store or any fast food restaurant in the world! Exclusives are antiquated, we think it's best to give our one of a kind items, u know the only reason people come here for, to anyone!"

Who cares, it's the same game from over a decade ago. Galaxy 3 or bust.

Wake me and my wallet up when Galaxy 3 gets here....

Wait, they forgot the new Mario ga....oh, whoops, nevermind...

Meta Quest does it best. Only 1 option for purchase: digital only. I love physical, but stop jerking me around and making ME make all of these complicated unnecessary decisions to boost YOUR profit margin. Switch 2 the worst console launch wince the Virtual Boy....how ironic ...

Yall must have watched a different direct than me. Not 1 new original game from Nintendo worth my time in a 60 minute direct. Yoshi WAY too easy. Fire Emblem look like a mobile free to play and that's the closer? Thank God for DK Bonanza!

@HalBailman Yeah, I mean why would anyone expect a new Mario game on his 40th anniversary....

@obijuankanoobie The only thing worse than the Virtual Boy are the games you can play on it....

Don't care about movies, amiibo, kids books, museum displays, marathons in Kyoto, multi-player dlc, sports games, games I already own because I am a loyal fan boy, only care about one thing. A NEW 2D AND/OR 3D MARIO GAME. And to top it off, I thought for sure they were gonna say Mario Galaxy 3. Why hype up such an old game? So sick of ports/remakes/rehashes/remasters/...

Prolly my all time favorite indie Dicey Dungeons was $3 on Switch. The market will adjust all sales discrepancies. By my estimations, Dicey Dungeons should have sold 34.189 Billion copies at this price if based on quality.

The problem is that the Switch 2's lineup is not the Switch 2's lineup. These games are still Switch 1 games because there are 150million reasons for them to not be Switch 2 exclusives.

Let's all join forces and not buy this so they will start focusing on making more original games....

It's incredible how entitled people feel about video game releases. I hope they cancel it or better yet, just never mention it again!

I just bought a Switch 1 OLED because of my displeasure w the Switch 2s dim blurry screen. Hope it's better, prolly not, this hobby is so annoying now...

@Bass_X0 Must...obey...commands....

Playing games off of a subscription service feels hollow to me. I want to purchase it digitally.

@Rijzebrew interesting....Thanks! I really do love the game anyways! I was actually VERY impressed, gave me Castlevania 3 vibes....

@Rijzebrew I also had quite a bit of stuttering. Let's not worry about 60 or 120hz, how bout we just make this beauty run smooth?!

Okay, I'll go all digital, Nintendo. Oh just one thing, put in the fine print if the game I purchase becomes altered in ANY way or becomes unavailable, you refund me my full purchase price. Fair?

This direct was better than the Switch 2 launch games direct. New Katamari? New Octopath? A new Square hd2d franchise in adventure form? I liked it a lot! I don't EVER like what the masses do, it's crazy....

One vote for Switch 1 Version! I'm just gonna dedicate the next 2 or 3 years to collecting tons of Switch games, the last ever great physical Nintendo library...our future generations will have a false version of all current and future video games.

I cant believe they announce these things with no notice...maybe like a week's notice? No?! Okay then, I'll be there!

Wow, 40 or so old games! How exciting!

STOP GIVING RELEASE DATES

The 2 songs w words in Mario Odyssey knock the game down a peg. The first time I got to the end and that and heard the song start, I was completely taken out of the game. Completely do not fit in the game. The song at the end should be an epic masterpiece, not a generic pop song. A 10 game made a 9.5 because of this.

Really not a new console, just a refresh. Almost no good Switch 2 exclusives. We reached the moment of diminishing returns in 2020. 1980-2020 is the only Era of video games where the experience increased a lot and games became stories and experiences as opposed to score attack arcade games. Honored to have grown up in this time period.

Hey Sega, release a console. Cartridge only. Modern specs. NO INTERNET CAPABILITIES. No cordless controllers. Nothing to charge. No patches, key cards, digital game ownership issues, blah blah blah. No ambiguity. High quality controller specs. No updates. No endless debate on all of these horrible internet based issues that have completely ruined the landscape. Make the future, don't let the future be made for you.

Joy cons suck.

If you're having a problem with this amount of battery life, you are playing too long.

@Ratmasterd21 Well it looks like it's releasing with quite a large launch line up, and most of it is remakes, re-releases and rehashes. So yeah, looks like quite a library of also rans. Drip feed engaged....

@the_beaver My point is the Switch 2 doesn't have much going for it in terms of original new releases. And if Expedition 33 were to come to Switch 2, it'll prolly run like garbage.

Honestly I have a preorder in but these games are not getting any of my thoughts due to Expedition 33. Idk if the timing was deliberate or if they thought they could actually steal the Big N's limelight, but thier game is so special and it is eating Nintendos lunch. How long will it be before an original Nintendo IP had a game as good as Expedition 33? Xmas? 2026? Ever?....DK looks good, but THAT good?...

My Gamestop closed a couple months ago in Decatur IL. Today I was trying to find a copy of Expedition 33 (NO ONE HAS THIS THING, AMAZON HAD DELIVERY IN 2 WEEKS!) One last shot went to Mt Zion IL where I hoped it was still in business. It was, the store worker was extremely friendly and pleasant, no upselling, they actually had the game, gave me 15% off, found some cool Beavis and Butthead figures, and they had a surprisingly nice selection of SNES NES DS Gameboy....Gamestop must survive! It is the ONLY game store in my whole area! GIVE ME PHYSICAL OR GIVE ME DEATH!
