No one else seems to be pointing this out, but you can actually tell what almost all of the systems can play. In the shot where the player boots up Ice climber on the NES, you can see the Famicom with Clu Clu Land, the Super Famicom with Panel de Pon, the Super NES with F-ZERO, and while you can't see the game inserted into the Game Boy because it's laying on its back, we do see Dr. Mario running on the Game Boy just seconds later. That just leaves the Famicom Disk System. Judging by the fact that all of the games I listed are great for short bursts of play, and by the list of games currently available on NSO, I'm guessing it will be VS. Excitebike.

@shoeses Agreed. They should have kept the Squirrel Sisters and just introduced new villagers as Deep Nut. The least they could have done is include Inkwell, and reskin him to look like Big Man.

On top of looking good next to DQIII, I bought the Switch 1 version because It's actually on the card, smooth frame rates be damned. I don't understand why Square-Enix can't just include an upgrade path, or update the switch 1 version to run at 60 FPS on a switch 2, like they did with DQIII, but at least after I'm done playing the first two games, the third game will feel like an upgrade.

@stinky_t Probably because the expansion pack already includes Happy Home Paradise

I'm glad we're getting more amiibo villagers, but what the heck happened to Wolf Link, Epona, Ganon, Medli, Felyne, and Inkwell? And while it's nice to have Cece and Viché back, did they really need a redesign? They went from Squirrel Sisters to Deep Nut. Like, if you're going to do it, you could have at least redesigned Inkwell to be the Big Man stand-in.

You'll never see me defend game key cards, but at least these aren't cloud editions this time.

Nice of these AAA developers to give us full physical releases. It's a shame we can't get proper physical releases from small indie studios like Sega, Bandai-Namco, and Square-Enix...

@Dang_69 I'm pretty much banking on this game at the very least being fun to play, even if the character on screen is as interesting as a carton of milk.

@Dang_69 Yeah, the cast in these Hyrule Warriors games has been getting progressively weaker. Not surprising when the first game started with a strong cast of fan favorites from across the entire series, and Age of Calamity was able to pull from Breath of the Wild's cast because of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, but that apparently isn't the case here. The best we can get is a construct that looks like Link, four sages who didn't even qualify as characters in Tears of the Kingdom, a few familiar faces we can actually give a damn about, and then some new faces that we can't.

I'm guessing Calamo becomes the Great Deku Tree, or is at least somehow connected to the Lost Woods. The Great Deku Tree never mentions Rauru as far as I can remember though, so maybe there was a Great Calamo Tree before the Deku Tree took its place. Perhaps this era where Calamo founds the yet-to-be Lost Woods would become known as the Age of Calamo Tree! 🤭

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I'm pretty sure mainline games are the ones developed by Game Freak, and everything else is a spin-off series.

I could already boot up the Master Chief Collection on the Steam Deck if I wanted to play Halo CE's campaign, and I'd be able to play online with other people as well. This remake will have to add a considerable amount of exclusive content to warrant its own existence.

Luigi is never beating the furry allegations xD

@Lofoten The jokes write themselves: Ryunald McDonald, Mayor McChun-Li, Kenburglar... Guilemace? Okay so I can't make all of them work, but I tried, darn it!

Is the Switch 2 an Xbox?

I agree. A game that costs more than $60 should have enough content out of the gate to warrant not getting DLC. Looking at you, Mario Kart World! It hasn't even been a year yet, and MKW is barely staying relevant...

I'm kind of disappointed Kawasaki isn't riding the Wagon Star, but I guess they wanted to represent some of the new machines, not just the old ones. Anyway, I'm tempted by all of these, but will probably not get any of them... But if they release a Daroach amiibo, it's over, my wallet is cooked bruh

Considering this is Atlus, I'm actually surprised they aren't charging money for this legacy BGM pack.

Just the other day, I was wondering when the heck Nintendo was going to announce this, because I figured it had to be in October, and I'm glad that I don't have to wait much longer!

I specifically got a physical copy of this to show my support for developers to release their games on an actual game card and not a game key card. I still need to play this game eventually, but most of my time has been dedicated to replaying old switch games on switch 2 lol

I get that the last update was one of the strongest for the app, but we haven't had an update in 2 weeks, so this feels really weak, and maybe they should have included Samus Returns...

Seeing how I already own this physically on PS5, as well as digitally on steam deck, and taking into consideration that this game will not get a physical release on Switch 2, I am content with skipping this release.

It's one thing to hold timed events for exclusive rewards in a game like Splatoon 3 with the Big Run/Eggstra Work events in Salmon Run, since you could use the decorations and stickers in your locker to be displayed to anyone who recently was in a match with you and was curious enough to see what secrets lie beyond your locker door...
What the hell is this doing in DLC for a single player game?! Has Nintendo completely lost their minds?!

Isn't Bamco contractually obligated to pump out one Dragon Ball game per year? Saiyan a new game project will be revealed next year is like reporting that there will be a Pokémon Presents in February. Like no duh!

My biggest problem with Pokémon Violet was not having important cutscenes voice acted, and only having text appear on screen for a brief second during gameplay when exploring the final area of the game with your friends; I had to constantly save a video clip just to see what they said because I wasn't reading it as quickly as the game expected me to. Having a character in the late game speak in corrupted text was a good touch, but I still feel like this would have been better with voice acting. This is a multi-billion dollar company we're talking about, yeah? Why the heck can't they put more resources towards these games that always sell ridiculously well?

He might be a little egocentric, but as far as I'm concerned, he's earned the right to be, and unlike a certain other major Nintendo veteran, his decisions are mostly based on what kind of experience the player would want. I respect what Miyamoto has done in the past, but you can't convince me he's made any sensible decisions during the Switch era beyond making all 4 mainline Pikmin games playable on one system.
EDIT: Just thought of something... Where's that second Kirby Air Riders Direct?

I expect Microsoft will announce the closure of the studio at some point. Just makes sense to abandon ship.

In a way, I'm kind of glad I never got into Assassin's Creed, even though the series has always caught my eye, because that means nothing's stopping me from boycotting Ubisoft. They can have my money when they release BG&E2.

Cool. Still not buying this until they update the game to be contained within the card.

@Serpenterror OOPS! I meant to say a North American physical release. I imported these already, but will likely double dip and give the imported copies to a friend.

Yo, Capcom. If Squenix can give these games that have been on Switch for half a decade a North American physical release, y'all can do the same for Ace Attorney Trilogy. Jus' sayin'...

Nintendo lawyers rn:

@Ogbert Phendrana Drifts for me!

Really weird that they announced this over a month ago. At the very least, they should be announcing this anywhere between a shadow drop and one week after the announcement.

I like it when Nintendo drops a video that gets everyone speculating, and then gives people an answer the very next day... Like with Emio - The Smiling Man.

If you try to imagine a little Pikmin carrying the moving objects, a lot of their movement makes more sense. Couple that with the fact that Pikmin music is definitely being played here, this is absolutely a tease for either a Pikmin movie, or... Nah, I don't want to jinx it.

That's 18h6m of music, one of the biggest drops we've had since the Tears of the Kingdom OST!

This would be more helpful on the right Joy-Con 2, since I ALWAYS press the GameChat button when I mean to press the HOME button above it.

I see plenty of them at Walmart now. Idk if anyone needs to worry about finding one now.

I started a 100% playthrough of Tears of the Kingdom on Monday, and I've been mainly clearing out the depths and enjoying Master Kohga's Voice Memories in Zelda Notes (I'm still irritated they brought back Erik Braa for the app, but not the actual game...).

I'm waiting to see how the Switch 2 version stacks up to Steam Deck and PS5, but I'm hyped for this!

I had the joy of building this one earlier this week! I wasn't sure what to expect beyond the lenticular screens, so I was really surprised by all the creative ways they added buttons, switches and wheels to this thing!
On a slightly unrelated note, I helped my son build a Mega Construx set that contained Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard, and I couldn't be happier with the fact that Lego will be producing Pokémon models going forward, because Mega is an absolute pain to work with... No, I'm serious, the pieces refuse to go together without a massive amount of force and my fingertips are still feeling it from last weekend! I'm so glad this Game Boy set was easy to put together!

@AussieMcBucket Just wait for a sale, or buy a used copy, and pretend the savings is what you would have paid for SM3DW.

Well that's a nice reminder that I still need to try playing this on Switch 2. I tried the demo, didn't like how it ran on Switch 1, bought it anyway, put it in the backlog.

My son loves LEGO games, especially LEGO Jurassic World and LEGO City: Undercover, and I've been wanting to go back to the latter lately, so this is good news for both of us!

I finally 100% completed Breath of the Wild on Master Mode! The last thing I needed to do was Trial of the Sword, and I want to talk to whoever balanced this, because it starts really hard, but each trial is easier than the last. Anyway, on to Tears of the Kingdom!

@Pikachupwnage in all fairness, that one was pretty easy to forget about. But I will add it to the list lol

@RazzBerryPie oops, added it to the list, thank you!

I still think about this whenever the topic of Nintendo mobile games comes up.

What's the tally at right now? We've had two Fire Emblem games, three Mario games (four if you count Hello Mario), Animal Crossing, Pikmin, and Miitomo and Dragalia Lost, may they rest in peace. Where's my Kirby mobile game? He's had plenty of spin-offs–just look at the 3DS–but he can't get a single mobile game? Shenanigans!
EDIT: Also, let's not forget that Paris Hilton still needs her Nintendogs mobile game.
