Yeah, if you guys hate this, then you're not gonna believe what EVERY other company does. Nintendo is only following what everyone is doing, and I guess I can't blame them? Chats get very toxic for no reason. Don't even know why gamers consider this a "tradition" lol.
I managed to get one in person at GameStop. They had a lot of the bundles and only a few of just the system itself. I got the system by itself along with a pre-order of Mario Kart World...and before you say I'm an idiot, I kinda made the better choice, since the bundle was kinda out of pre-orders when I got there, and I just barely got the system alone lol.
For games like Mario and others that don't rely on realistic physics, fall damage doesn't seem necessary there. On the other hand for stuff like Zelda BOTW and TOTK, fall damage being there makes sense. While that isn't exactly realistic, it's physics are, and getting rid of fall damage there just seems weird.
I wonder if they're hiding the fact we can unlock everything we've seen? Kind of like Smash Ultimate, where we got to see every fighter, but when you actually got the game, you only had a few unlocked and you had to play the game to unlock more and more of them.
@kal_el_07241 I don't play Save the World on other versions a lot, but maybe I would if they actually let it be on the Switch 2 version. Excluding it due to it not being a focus was already dumb, but if it was also a power reason...they don't have an excuse now lol.
The only way I would agree with this dumb statement is when it comes to the UI of the Switch era of consoles, which definitely aren't filled with personality. As for everything else...has he even paid any attention to all of that? They still make the same great games as always, and they still make weird stuff that is such a Nintendo thing to do.
@Rusty_Ruby I might agree with $80, but not $100. Though, I personally feel that Mario Kart World has the potential to justify an $80 price tag if it's even possible. It's gonna be the biggest entry yet, which I can't even see anyone arguing about. I would rather it be $70 though. I say this because I think we have to accept that $60 is not sticking with the Switch 2.
Pokemon definitely needs to make a better version of Scarlet and Violet before attempting to make another big game. It runs horribly on Switch last time I checked, and if they can make some improvements with a Switch 2 edition or something, then maybe they can take what they learned and make something better for Switch 2.
@StewdaMegaManNerd We really gotta stop making that joke lol. It's a new game. It's already been proven to be that. I don't think a port of a port could look so different lol.
@IOI Maybe they could do it this way: If you're subscribed to NSO, you can have the ability to buy any game from the service and then permanently own it. Don't know if that sounds good, but it's what I came up with.
@Smithicus I guess so? If I'm being honest, companies shouldn't try to hide these games just because they failed. They worked on those games, so they should take responsibility and accept they made those games and learn from the mistakes. That might sound like a weird take, but it's just what I think.
@progx I imagine it's most likely a launch title. Why else would that be the very first Switch 2 game they show? The first Switch game shown was BOTW, which ended up launching with the Switch.
@PikminMarioKirby To be honest, his new look which resembles the arcade stuff like everyone says, is way better in my opinion. I just don't care too much for his Country design. Looks weird.
@MS7000 To be honest, this isn't a bad design. It kinda looks more neat than the one we've seen in the games. Not saying that one is bad by the way. I swear people hate the movie designs WAY too much.
@The-Chosen-one It'll probably be even worse for this thing. Palworld only really copies some aspects from Pokemon, while this thing just straight up looks like a one-to-one ripoff of Animal Crossing.
@MeloMan It's sad really. Capcom gave Mega Man a decent revival with Mega Man 11...only to do absolutely nothing for 6 years in a row...we're getting to yet another 8 year hiatus it seems. Man, Capcom kinda sucks at reviving their IPs lol.
@LUIGITORNADO These guys are just never happy. They always expect what THEY want, not what we end up getting. I get that this could probably be a little better, but shouldn't we be glad we're getting SOMETHING Mega Man related at all? Feels like it's being neglected a lot of the time.
Why not just improve the Portal to make it a full on handheld? Apparently it was originally meant to be that, but for some weird reason they decided to compete with the Wii U instead lol. The Portal seems to be getting better by somewhat supporting cloud play or whatever it was, allowing you to play on the go I think? Correct me if I'm wrong by the way. Point is, why not turn the Portal into that instead of having to make an entirely new system for that purpose?
Wasn't it being for the supposed Switch 2 debunked? I'm pretty sure I heard they lied about that, since they can't actually get permission to say that until Nintendo reveals the console themselves.
@Lifesabeach88 Buddy, you're wrong on so many levels. Wonder may not have been the greatest reinvention for Mario, but it's certainly more fresh than NSMB had been for years.
On the Switch in general, a lot of great things have been released within the past year or so, they just aren't for you. Switch keeps selling, and the success will be ever bigger if the next console releases in a few months.
@The-Chosen-one Eh, I don't know if adding a 2 would be a great name for it, but I guess it would work. Maybe they have a more creative name for the successor, but we'll see.
@ecco6t9 Unfortunately, they do. I stopped caring about stuff like TGA last year since it just seemed like a whole bunch of nothing, and I'm glad to see that others realize that too.
I'm going to go with team future. I'm always looking forward to what's coming next, like with how this final splatfest is gonna go lol. Also, I believe this will be the last new Splatfest because you don't go about a huge event like this and not have it be the last new thing you do. If any other splatfests come, they're gonna be repeats, since Splatoon 2 did just that.
@MirrorFate2 Way to be a downer lol. You won't know until it comes out. I'd say the main game at least could look good on Switch since it'll be the same thing from 10+ years ago, but the new story on the other hand...maybe that might suffer on Switch, but who knows.
@MegaVel91 Of course, no game is easy to make, but I think the point they were trying to get across is that it can't take 8 dang years to make one 2D platformer can it? I thought we would get one maybe 3 or so years after Mega Man 11, since Mega Man games aren't that long and stuff. Either it's harder than it seems as you mentioned, or Capcom is just not trying to do anything with Mega Man at this point.

@RupeeClock I hope it's an option to upgrade. It would be weird for them to not do it that way, especially when the game is less than a year old.
Re: Opinion: It's Time To Get Rid Of Fall Damage
For games like Mario and others that don't rely on realistic physics, fall damage doesn't seem necessary there. On the other hand for stuff like Zelda BOTW and TOTK, fall damage being there makes sense. While that isn't exactly realistic, it's physics are, and getting rid of fall damage there just seems weird.
