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.

I really hope that they'll be pushing out a physical release for this. Even if I have an imported copy from Japan, I would double dip if they released it physically in the west, since they've done it for the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Apollo Justice Trilogy, and the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. It's just asinine that the trilogy that started it all isn't given the same treatment.

Well, even if Limited Run Games put their stinky hands in this, the front cover looks a lot nicer without their logo.

I can wait a little bit longer for this game to consume my life again.

Use your imagination because we don't have any. We just wanted an excuse to have Pauline ride on DK's back, and making her the size of a little girl was the best decision we could come up with, lore implications be damned!

I've already decided I'm getting the Switch version because not only will it look nice next to the first game by virtue of having the same generic spine template, but it'll also contain the game on the cartridge. It'll probably keep a consistent 30fps frame rate in quality priority mode when running on Switch 2 anyway, and I am not a frame rate snob, so long as the game can keep it consistent.

Well if it does happen, you can bet your bottom dollar it's gonna be a Game Key Card.

@X68000 I currently see Switch 2 as a mid-generation hardware refresh with some exclusive games, akin to the DSi or new 3DS, except this time it actually plays Switch games better, like how people speculated the long rumored Switch Pro would do. That's actually what I bought the system for in the first place, so I can't say that I've been disappointed in that area.

@AmplifyMJ I think what @mr12calvin is saying is that the Switch 2 Edition doesn't seem to be doing anything the original Switch couldn't handle outside of a resolution bump. Meetup at Bellabel Park doesn't even use the camera to broadcast players' reactions to each other. Based on what's been shown so far, this could have just been a DLC expansion, one that could be accessed regardless of what Switch system you play it on.

I'm good. This game is already massive, and if I'm exploring DK Isle again, it's gonna be when DK64 arrives on Nintendo Classics!

I'm not buying this one for a while. I'd rather have Dragon Quest IV-VI HD-2D Remakes, or better yet, a localized Dragon Quest X Offline!

I'm weak enough to preorder a physical copy, even if I already have SM3DAS, but I'm not so weak that I'll pay $80 for pieces of plastic when I could just add the .bin amiibo files to my allmiibo. Nintendo really needs to consider selling amiibo cards alongside these figures, just so there's an affordable way to access whatever BS content these things unlock — I'm hoping it'll be like the Cat Mario and Peach amiibo in 3D World, where it's just an invincible Cat Suit or a random power-up, things that could easily be skipped.
