Interesting choice. I know red is Nintendo’s color, but I don’t think it makes sense. I know that all in all we haven’t had orange as the color for the eShop, but I don’t think red was the right choice. While Red draws you more to Nintendo, color theory wise orange is a better choice 🤷🏻♂️
Donkey Kong and Tomodachi Life were my biggest hopes, and we got both, so I'm happy. I would LOVE to see a new Punch Out (Or even a port of the one from the Wii using the JoyCons) but doubt we will see that. Also hoping for a Zelda TTP, but idk about that one either
Honestly, none. At least for now. I have all my controllers from my OG Switch, so I'm good there. Might pick up the case and screen protector if anything, but not too sure just yet. I know I'll have to get an SD card at some point, but I'm already spending a lot of money at the moment, so I'll wait a few on that, lol
Even with Splatoon 3 out, a good few people still play Splatoon 2. That’s on the same console, so I will be interested to see how Mario Kart World affects the 8 Deluxe servers being across two different consoles
I already have adapters for my original GameCube controllers, and I really like them. That’s mainly what I use for Smash and Mario Kart. I tried some of the other wireless ones, but they just feel so cheap and easy to break, and super light.
If these get good reviews, I might pick one up, but I’m guessing it won’t beat the og ones, even with extra buttons and being wireless
I find it funny everyone wants a new Mario game already. I get it, but come on. We got Wonder just over a year ago, and even Odyssey wasn’t that long ago all things considered. The last NEW DK game was in 2014… It’s been 11 years😭 I am so much more excited for this than I would be for a new Mario game.
I love Wind Waker, but I played it on the GameCube, so I do like this version. I'm happy they added it, and I really don't mind it's not the HD version. I think we could maybe see the HD version in a bundle, if they did an all-star thing like they did with the Mario games.
I'm hoping that Twilight Princess not being in NSO at launch means it's going to get its own remake/port, and not be added later. It would be silly of Nintendo NOT to port TP, I'm sure they would make a lot of money from that
Still not the biggest fan of the way he looks. Sure it'll grow on me as time goes on, but I'm still always going to prefer his DKC style, lol. Funny for him to pretty much say we're wrong, and that this IS better
I would give it an 8.5, or 9. It was really good. There were a few glitches towards the end, and I wish they showed off a few more first party IPs, but I feel like they showed a lot of really great things
$500 for the Switch 2 and ONE game is a bit much, but I guess it could be worse, right? I was going to pick this one up, but now I'm not so sure. I'll have to think about it, because that sure is a lot of money
Might have to try one of my local game stores, as I highly doubt they are going to sell out there. Online will definitely be my first attempt though
Wonder if this is true, or if it’s a marketing ploy to get more people to try and preorder, thinking they’re going to sell out fast, give them that feeling of triumph as they get a spot, only for Nintendo to still have plenty of units
I think Link should be a no-name/smaller/new actor, not some big name. Especially if he stays true to not talking, I think it would be great for someone new to get a shot to work on a big movie. You don't have to speak, you simply work on delivering emotion (Or just get Orlando Bloom, lol)
The rest can be famous celebs, that's fine, as long as we don't get Chris Pratt, Jack Black, and Jason Momoa. Emma Watson could be a good Zelda, but then again, maybe just make her a no-name as well, and only have Ganon be huge (Adam Sandler, please 🙏🏻)
I reckon it’s real, it would be weird for them to only include one fake app among so many real ones. It would also make sense to finally bring My Nintendo to mobile phones in a much easier way
Who knows, maybe it’ll actually have some new feature for the Switch 2🤷🏻♂️
I like the format better, (although I wish it was actually live, and more like the previous Minecons, but one can only wish) but the content of the next update? Mehhh. The happy ghast is cool in theory, but literally any new mob would have been better for it. Also the texture is off, but I'm sure they'll fix it. Shaders is nice, but unsure how well it will work. The movie still doesn't look great, but I'll give it a shot. Surprised we didn't see anything for Spicewood (the leaked new Minecraft spin-off for anyone who doesn't know)
Crazy how far this game has come, been playing almost since the start
Since it's something you can turn on and off like a setting, I think it's nice they are finally adding a vanilla way to have shaders. It's funny though, I wonder how many Bedrock systems will be able to run the shaders. The caption at the bottom says what we are seeing is from a "high-end computer." You know it's not running on Switch, and I'm not sure how strong a PS5 or the new XBox is, but I doubt it would run great on there. If it really only works on a good computer... my question is why are you still playing Bedrock and not Java, lol (And also why add a feature only a very small group of players could use)
Now, what scares me is Jeb said they are working on finding a way to add this to Java as well... If they keep it a setting, great, but if they are about to add a marketplace and ruin Java, no thanks
I don't know... I think if Silksong showed up, even if just for a few seconds, that might be what blows everyone's socks off
But in all seriousness, unless everything else just isn't good, I don't think you can say Metroid will be the star of the show. It all comes down to what YOU specifically are excited about. Like I would be most excited for a new Smash game, or a new Donkey Kong game, that would steal the show for me. But for someone else, it might be Monster Hunter and Fire Emblem
Putting a driver's license in a Mario Kart license holder would either get a big laugh from the next cop that pulls you over for speeding, or a big slap on the wrist, and I'm all here for it
Hang on, hang on, hang on, you're telling me that you not only put Sword and Shield above Scarlet and Violet, but also above the Let's Go games??? Have you PLAYED Sword and Shield???
As of now I'm going Totodile. Hoping they get some cool regional variants. Seen rumors Meganium might evolve into a grass fairy type because Chikorita has the fairy type move disarming voice in the trailer. If that's true, that might save Meganium from being one of the worst starter mons
I'm thinking/hoping it actually looks a whole lot more futuristic at parts. The fact that it already looks this nice, and that they aren't dropping it until the end of the year really speaks volumes about how much time they are spending on this game. I'm genuinely really excited, and will probably be preordering this game.
Sure, a unique style would be nice, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are spending even more time on gen 10, a game I expect to be quite different
Guess they are trying to get as many people hooked as they can before dropping a new one on the Switch 2. I already have it on the Wii, and while I enjoy it, I just don't see a reason to buy it again, especially for 60 bucks.

Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller Compatible With Other Games, But There May Be Some "Issues"

Maybe that’s just me though
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 US Pre-Orders Start 24th April, System & Launch Game Pricing Unchanged
Ngl, I'm sold on it. Wish it was a little cheaper, but boy am I glad it's not more expensive!
I will be trying my best to pre-order this, good luck to everyone who tries as well!
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?

Re: Community: Which Switch 2 Games Are You Wishlisting?
Mario Kart, DK, and GameCube NSO are my biggest ones
Just gotta see what happens to the price
Re: Hands On: Rock Surfing And Boulder Bashing - 'Donkey Kong Bananza' Is Brilliantly Bonkers
It looks really good, and I've been excited to have a new DK game, so it doesn't disappoint
I'll definitely be picking this one up at some point, but oh boy is my wallet gonna be hurting
Re: Donkey Kong Country Artist Shares His Thoughts On Kong's New Design

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
I would give it an 8.5, or 9. It was really good. There were a few glitches towards the end, and I wish they showed off a few more first party IPs, but I feel like they showed a lot of really great things

Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With Two Presentations On Switch 2 Gameplay
That’s awesome, glad to have these again. Tomorrow is going to be PACKED and I’m all here for it
Re: Switch 2 Pre-Orders Expected To Sell Out "Day One" Due To Limited Unit Allocation
Might have to try one of my local game stores, as I highly doubt they are going to sell out there. Online will definitely be my first attempt though

Re: Listen Up, Mii Are Officially Back And They Now Have Ears
You know, for the fact that they never had ears, it’s not like they look really weird having ears all the sudden. If anything, they look BETTER
Now we just need them to make Switch Sports Resort and use these Miis again

Re: A New Tomodachi Life Game Is Coming To Switch Next Year
I played the original so much on my 3ds, and I loved it so much. I'll definitely be picking this one up, glad we finally got a sequel!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
New Donkey Kong, new Donkey Kong, new Donkey Kong🙏🏻
Also Silksong?? Will it finally be real?
I think they'll save Prime 4 for next week
Re: Round Up: Minecraft Live (March 2025) - Everything Announced
One of the weeker Minecraft Lives for me.

Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
A NEW Donkey Kong insert it's been 84 years meme here
Silksong would also be nice, maybe even a new IP

Please tell me I'm reading this list wrong😭

Re: Talking Point: Should We Actually Get Excited For Pokémon Day This Year?
If we get something for Black and White's 15th this year, while we got nothing for Silver and Gold's 25th last year... There might be riots
I am looking forward to ZA, I think that could end up being a great game
Re: Nintendo Music's Latest Update Adds 3DS 'SteetPass Mii Plaza' Soundtrack
It is now officially peak. I do hope they add some more from the other games tho
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Now Has A Switch eShop Demo
Guess they are trying to get as many people hooked as they can before dropping a new one on the Switch 2. I already have it on the Wii, and while I enjoy it, I just don't see a reason to buy it again, especially for 60 bucks.
