I just emulated them

just three games at launch is pathetic

what about long term adopters

you say it lacks next gen because everything you played feels like it could run on Switch 1? Switch 1 can not run games such as Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, FF7 Remake, Star Wars Outlaws etc

I do find it so funny how Nintendo fans in droves defended TOTK being $70 now Donkey Kong being $70 and now Mario Kart at $80 now all of a sudden its not OK? so why was it OK with Zelda but not for these? kinda double standards

@GgGames where is the evidence the game is $90? I'm not seeing that price anywhere other than fans saying it

I can just about stomach MKW being that price but Kirby and TOTK which are old games being $80 is utterly disgusting

if people just listen to what people in the gaming industry they were saying over the past few years about the rising cost in gaming, how no company can avoid it and not just hardware but game prices will rise faster than we expect this was inevitable its only surprising that its Nintendo to go above the $70 price tag for a game

damn you Smyths Toys

why are Pokemon, Links awakening and Echoes of wisdom getting free Switch 2 updates but BOTW + TOTK are paid? (Technically free with NSO)

Good thing I have NSO now and I want both GameCube and these Switch 1 upgrades

why is this free but Zelda you have to pay for?

I was expecting $450 so I wasn't shocked also so happy UK is a bit cheaper for Switch 2

game looks incredible 100% sold on Mario Kark World but that $80 price tag ouch

very disappointing with just three games at launch and the upcoming game line-up is very small, where is Animal Crossing, Twilight Princess, Star Fox?

this is so hype for me

Once again Nintendo being greedy for mediocre garbage

for once living in the uk isn't that bad the uk price is so much better

@Dandare I agree with the lack for new first party games but reality Nintendo does need to space out releases because this likely will be another 8 year long console if not longer

I liked it wasn't the best Direct ever but for me it is a very good Direct

Animal Crossing, Pokemon Colosseum + XD Gale of Darkness, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Star Fox Adventures, Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic DX, Metroid Prime 2

maybe they announce some new games in the treehouses that are not in the Direct tomorrow

what people think in Japan does not translate to what people think worldwide

I want the next Animal Crossing but I have very little hope

I'm going to try and pre order Switch 2 day 1 but I really am not expecting to get it day 1

These better be $10 upgrades and not you have to buy the game again for better frame rate and better resolution that is scummy if Nintendo does this when these Switch actually sold a ton unlike the Wii U

while we all agree the next Mario Kart will sell very well, probably will be the best selling Switch 2 games do think it will sell significantly less than 8 Deluxe

@JohnnyMind no next week is a "Switch 2 Direct" not a Switch 2 and also Switch 1 Direct

@1UP-HUSKY next week is a "Switch 2 Direct" which means not Switch 1

"Nintendo Direct this week for sure this time"
doesn't happen
"Nintendo Direct this week for sure this time"
still doesn't happen
"Nintendo Direct this week for sure this time"

the definition of missed potential, such a disappointment of a game hopefully the next Animal Crossing isn't too far away and can blow ACNH out the water

Problem is what is super popular in one country does not mean that will translate to worldwide success, Dragon Quest mega popular in Japan but outside very few care, in America Call of Duty mega popular but in Japan they don't care

I side fully with Palworld, Nintendo are being bullies to smaller companies because they don't want competition

I can't find any good excuses why there shouldn't be a native Switch 2 version that goes alongside the Switch 1 version

I only want to see Switch 2 games in the April Direct not Switch 1 games

as much as I want GameCube NSO on Switch 2 exclusively as one of many reasons to buy a Switch 2 how do we know it doesn't also come to Switch 1

I'm expecting $450 and not ruling out the possibility of it being $500

makes sense if they are planning a massive launch you need systems delivered to each country ahead of release and also to avoid Trump Tariffs

I would rather a HD 2D style remaster than a FF7 remake for Chrono Trigger

no surprise there will be no new Mario game announcements until April 2nd at the earliest

I'm hoping the Direct is 1 hour long that gives them plenty of time to show the hardware off more like the UI and hopefully better E-Shop then move onto the games which I want to see more than a handful new first party Switch 2 exclusive games

the same people that expected Wii U to pass Wii sales

was hoping Thousand Year Door got discounted I am not paying full price for a old game

Luigis Mansion 3 is way too low

no I don't think they will new games are getting bigger thus taking longer to make Nintendo themselves have started that and as someone who follows PlayStation their out put how slowed down massively over the years and I can't see Nintendo avoiding this

@Spider-Kev same

$399 is the same as the base digital PS5 so on par with PlayStation

another stupid decision Nintendo is making fans should not defend them on this

how about just make a new Star Fox game exclusively for Switch 2
