I sit on a soft couch. I don’t find a table or desk fun to game at. What is this, the year 2008 when you had to use a wireless mouse with your laptop because the trackpad wasn’t great. I tell you, using a mouse on your pant leg, couch arm rest, or on a hard back book is not a delight. Why are we still comparing resistive vs capacitive touch screens? We have modern touch screens in which you can use a Bluetooth battery powered pen, a licensed Wacom battery free pen, or patent your own battery free pen tech. We also have gyro in both the console and controllers. I think mouse is trying to solve a niche problem that few games will use.

They might release the same month as the last demos in June. Or they may wait until Back to School season.

Mario Kart 9? More like Mario Kart 99.

We don’t owe Nintendo anything. Not our sympathy nor out money.

If there were no leaks, the reveal would not have been very surprising given that it is still a Switch for the most part with minor alterations. The only things to wonder about are the c button and the mice. Therefore I wonder, does Nintendo expect me to use the mice on my pant leg or on the couch arm rest?

As of now: 50% think the showing was Great, 43% think the showing was Average, and 6% think it was Poor. That’s an easier poll to look at. This data comes from the above poll.

Mario Kart is completely played out as a series. Milked dry as the driest desert. We need a Resident Evil 4 type reinvigoration for the series. Mario Kart on switch is still selling and what on earth will persuade us to buy another MK so soon? Talk about franchise fatigue! I hope Nintendo still understands that it is novel and fun gameplay over graphics. Mario kart needs a BIG change or entire generation break.

Boring, bland, corporate funeral of a presentation, design and name. Simply somber, any fun felt forced and without any novelty or cheer. The leaks did not ruin the novelty or fun; it isn’t and wasn’t there (in the final and leaked design). Realistically the stand will break, and the joy-con rail chip will either snap off or foul up with time. Backwards compatibly is good, it helps persuade folks to upgrade but nothing shown persuades me to move on from my switch lite. Judging from the colors and design, this console is geared towards a mature crowd. And my guess is the price will be too high for what it does. So far the color and design just are not appealing to me at all. The ASUS ROG Ally is more appealing design and color wise. Lastly, the classic finger snap seems to be replaced with a clap. I don’t like it. These are my true thoughts and feelings, not rage bait.

I want colored thumb sticks, buttons, color on the case and joycons, a design. Something fun and stylish. As of now the renders look like a boring computer with controllers glued to the sides. Wouldn’t it be cool if a Zelda themed system actually glinted in places like gold accents. Or a Splatoon that had really raised textured splats! I would also like something that used the sandwich design of the original 3DS with the different colored plastic and clear plastic.

Not only is it too big but possibly ugly as well. Nothing about a black tablet with black controllers and a black dock screams fun to play. I like the neon colors of the original switch and the special Pokémon sword shield Switch lite designs. Here’s hoping for a reasonably sized/weighted and beautifully designed system with attractive colors.

AI created imagery sure looks real.

Nintendo will not disturb Pokémon Z nor Metroid 4 or Xenoblade X games sales this spring. They may announce but won’t release until much later in the year.

@Everythingnotsaved Exactly. I just do not see how Nintendo will be successful in convincing the casuals to buy the new system Release a new Animal Crossing? But why won’t it play on my Switch? Wrong Switch, miss. Oh.

Those images, any images, can be Ai made. I hope it’s all fake, every rumor. Just to get all the speculation to quiet down, to discredit all the liars.

I hope this is incorrect information. It looks sooo boring! I don’t want a Switch with more power. I want something new and fun, within reason of not being a gimmick. I also want something that looks fun to look at. This looks bland.

Your poll on which is our favorite style is missing some games, what about that Star Ocean game, and what about that Hundred Hero’s game? I want to see HD2D to continue evolving.

I just purchased a larger SD card. While researching the differences between the official SanDisk and other options I found on Nintendo’s website mention that the official cards operate at max of 100MBps read and 90MBps write. Not 60. In reality it may dip to anywhere below the max, but the max is higher than 60.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD

Is this an Unreal engine game? When the camera rotates and pans, there is that characteristic Unreal engine stutter. It gives me a headache. Also I have concerns that Switch won’t run this game well at all.

Never heard of this. In the video, there is something about those sound effects, so many western developer’s and movie houses use the same, tired, boring, sound effects. I hate those sounds.

Considering that Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey both have 3D options, perhaps Switch 2 will have an advanced 3D screen allowing for compatibility and enhancement of some or all Switch 1 games to be viewed in 3D. As for 3DS games on NSO, I wonder if the second screen could float in 3D space above the primary screen. I wonder if this floating second screen could be activated by a button press or a type of glance a camera sees your eyes doing.

Sony should be hiring new blood and creating their own studio’s rather than poaching and acquiring studios. It really displays how uncreative and uncommitted the likes of Sony and Microsoft really are.

Xbox, Windows 8, 10, 11, and their Surface brand computers and accessories have been so poorly managed these past 14 years that I’ll never buy another Microsoft product of any kind. Their ideas, products and implementations have been promise’s broken and directionless.

I hope Nintendo releases late Summer, August, to spite everyone and proves all leakers as liars.

I wish Japanese devs would make a few more games where the main character is an adult. I don’t understand why its away a child.

I would pay no more than $250. There are so many Switch games I have yet to play that it will be very hard for Nintendo to convince me to buy the Switch 2 any sooner than three years from now. There are so many good Switch games. Parting with $250 in these times for “games” when the original Switch does just fine is foolish imo.

I’ve had my Switch three years now, so no, why would I upgrade? Tons of games and little time to play them. The earliest I’ll get a Switch 2 is half way through its lifecycle.

It looks like it should have been included with NSO alongside the F-Zero offering they have.

Him blaming the team is cowardly. He’s the boss, the mentor. Did he not mentor his apprentices? Did they not grow under his supervision? If they didn’t flourish under him then he is the one who is weak! His arrogant balloon should have popped long ago.

Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition Is my favorite. It’s about fire fighters coping with an underground nuclear blaze inside a research facility, rescuing people and making strange discoveries. Play the After scenario first and the Before scenario second. I’m not so much into anime “fan service”, I don’t think this game is a very big offender of that. I think that too many visual novels are though, making it difficult for me to find anything mature in the serious sense.

So much of Bowser’s claim that Nintendo prices games on a case by case basis. We’ve seen one game get that consideration, Zelda TOTK. Perhaps Metroid Prime at $30 was another. But other than these two games, Advance Wars, Luigi’s Mansion and DK Returns should all be $30-40.

Metroid Prime felt fresh is 2002. After 22 years, 18 of which we’ve seen nothing, it is time for a fresh new take on the gameplay and presentation. What they showed of Metroid Prime 4 looked stale, straight out of the early 2000’s.

It seems understandable that a series of games would play similarly within a generation or two, but in 18 years, games have evolved. Looking at the gameplay in MP4 is like looking into a frozen time period of old. I don’t expect MP4 to play like contemporary FPS’s, because it is not a FPS, but I do expect that Nintendo evolve the gameplay to fresh, new, unique heights.

It’s been an 18 year wait. I’ve changed a lot in that time. I’m not sure I’m much of a Metroid fan anymore. I really liked Prime 1 and Fusion, kind of liked Prime 2 and Zero Mission, but ultimately found those two boring. All the other Metroid’s never interested me enough. I guess with Prime 1 and Fusion, I thought the Metroid series was something that it’s not, or maybe I just grew out of that type of gameplay. Even with the new Legend of Link lol, I’m hesitant due to BOTW 1&2 burnout. The new Zelda appears to be BOTW 2.2.

Retro is not about a length of time that has passed. It is about an era, a style. I read this somewhere but if retro is based on a timespan that must pass, then Lady Gaga’s albums from 2008-2010 are classic rock. But classic rock defines a specific sound, a style of an era. The GameCube’s games are not of the same look, style or era of Atari, NES, SNES, Sega Master System, etc. The N64, PS1 are of their own unique era as is the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. I like to think of the Late 90’s and early 2000’s as the era that games still had a bit of arcade influence in their design. Beginning with the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii are the modern era as they still contain many gameplay styles in use today.

@FourBs Something is strange about all the console sales numbers. Compared to last week everything is down by 1/2 or more except for Xbox. All sales went off a cliff, even Switch.

The numbers for Mario Wonder and Peach Showtime are wrong, very inflated compared to last week.

We’ve been lied to for years by “leakers”, I’m not going to believe any of it, besides the name sounds ridiculous. I law there is Burden of Proof. The famiboard people need to supply credible proof. That screenshot of code, where did it come from? Anyone could have typed that up. As mentioned in the next famiboard post, a 10 inch fan in the dock? Electronics fans are measured in millimeters, not inches. A common large size is 120mm (4.5 inches). It is very rare that even Sony or Xbox would use anything bigger than that common size. Other common sizes are 80mm, 60mm, 40mm. All this speculation is made up poof.

344 Tracks! Are most of them sound effects or jingles, no more than 10 seconds long?

Splatoon 3 was the reason I created a Twitter account. I drew a few images and stopped. I now have a good reason to delete my Twitter account.

Magnets won’t be used to attach the joycons to the game system because of a proprietary called sheer stress. NL editor, look it up. That report has got to be 1billion% fake. There is no use for magnets when sheer force is a factor.

An ambitious Zelda movie would be set in 1990, Roseanne style, in the kitchen, at evening dinner. Like the Korean movie, the quiet family. Some of the Zelda characters come and go, some mill around the kitchen, some stay seated at the dinner table all night long. This is a one room movie. It features all the usual Zelda type characters. Link finding a korok is akin to a young man dressed like a 90’s American who finds tiny plastic chips, korok chips, hidden around the set through out the night. Ganon is more of a looming presence that arrives as a guest later in the movie. Most don’t know what he looks like or when he’ll show up to dinner. He’ll bring argument and upend power dynamics.

Absolutely fake.

SpawnWave did this years ago. Smaller games tend to use the full sized green board, larger games use the smaller black board. In fact, the black board is actually the integrated circuit itself without a circuit board and the gold contracts are directly connected to the integrated circuit, probably to save on cost. So if you cart is green it is a smaller game, if it is black and rattles a bit when shaken, you have a larger game, in file size.

Animal Crossing had the more impressive growth than Mario Kart. MK8D +338 while ACNH +1736. The headline could have read, Evergreen Titles Continue to Grow as Rest of Industry Sleeps.

Would be nice if he gave a more detailed response. I went to art school. My professor asked me what color is this wooden table and I said brown, she said that if it was simply brown, it would look very boring, look closer, the tables woodgrain has many variations of brown, yellow, red. Look at concrete, a rusted metal shovel, a blue door, what makes all these things interesting to look at is the subtle variations in color and texture. Now I’m aware that this director is probably not talking about color but a thought process. That’s what I would like to hear more in-depth about.

I don’t jump through hoops anymore for anyone. I used bing for years earning points for gift cards and now they made extra hoops to jump through. Nintendo doing their think reminds me of bing. I refuse to do it. I pay for online, I buy games, I’m a Nintendo fan, just please let me have access to all icons, even the ones where I don’t own the game. Being petty like this doesn’t help fandom. Besides, I own something like 12 Nintendo games and I’ve never been able to get icons for most of them because I bought these games later in life. I guess Nintendo is only loyal to day one purchasers in that case. It all rubs me the wrong way. Why make icons such a complicated ordeal is my point.

I’d like to see a new DK, unlike anything before, easier to play than DK TF & Country games, perhaps in 3D.

What could take up 5GB? New textures? Better performance?
