I was excited when this was first announced as it seemed like the perfect genre of game for switch 2's mouse controls without that I'm not as interested, will wait for an update or if it's on sale
That was funny I was like are they about to announce DS and then this came up 😂 I probably won't bother with this but good news I suppose for game preservationists out there
Nice! I regretted not buying all stars when it had its limited window but with this and 64 and sunshine being available on NSO I can have access to all of them on Switch 2!
Prime 4 release date is a no brainer and then a handful of mario announcements: Mario kart dlc, mario wonder switch 2 edition, mario sunshine drop on NSO and maybe a limited release of some of new super mario bros games? New trailers for splatoon raiders and tomodachi life Handful of 3rd party announcements (mixture of new ports and dates for games that were announced earlier). Ends with a tease for whatever the big release for 2026 will be
Dk bananza is a must get as is marvel cosmic Invasion, I'll probably get SW outlaws (as long as the port is stable), pokemon is a maybe (I dip in and out of that series) One I'm interested in that's not on the list is two point museum especially if it uses the mouse controls. I'll probably play James Bond on PS5
I like the support for switch 1 gameshare and hope it becomes standard for nintendo's switch 2 co-op games going forward. my switch lite can become a companion screen for the switch 2
Hoping for a reveal of some sort of multiplayer element, my wife and I are looking forward to playing it together regardless but being able to play co-op would be perfect
@HotGoomba I think lego are following the route of other large IP owners like marvel by instead of locking into an exclusive deal with a specific developer/publisher. They are letting all sorts of different developers come up with creative ideas to use the IP instead. I think it's a good direction to go as certainly been working well for marvel. As much as I love the TT lego games that formula was getting a bit stale
Ahhh switch 1, got mine in 2018 shortly before going on my first trip abroad with my then girlfriend (now wife) thinking it'd be good to have it on the plane, since then it's been on many journeys with us even on our honeymoon. Also became the first console my young nephews played on, and I became "the uncle with all the cool games". Sadly my switch died recently thanks to an incident with a leaky water bottle R.I.P Switch
My preorder with game still says inprocess and it's on my bank as a pending transaction so fingers crossed I'm okay 😅 knew it was risky going with them but they were the only retailer who had it in stock when I was ready to order
I remember playing mario kart ds with a friend and even though we both owned a copy, we would use the gameshare mode because I wanted to be shy guy and that was the only way to play as him 😅 glad he's become an established part of the roster since
As a big star wars nerd the idea of having an open world star wars game that I can take on the go sounds perfect. Definitely willing to give this one a go (depending on how solid port is)
That's fine That's all I needed for now, over time I'm sure I'll buy more new joy cons but seeing as I already have 6 switch 1 joy cons I was hoping there would be some compatibility with new games. Especially considering mario kart will be the first game I get and I need at least 4 controllers for that as my family will definitely all want to play that together
Hopefully two point museum supports mouse control that'll make it so much easier to play those sort of sim/tycoon games. They always feel so fiddly on gamepads too many menus to navigate
Was expecting around that price point, similar to what ps5 had with a lot of cross gen titles at least for some we are getting bonus content, maybe this how we will finally get odyssey dlc??? 😅
Only things that threw me off is not including that tech demo game as a pack in like seriously who is going to buy that? it was weird not saying the price in the stream just to post it online moments later, and feels like a strange decision to release kirby air riders the same year as a new mario kart. But other than loved it new donkey kong and mario kart look amazing! Strong 3rd party support! Gamecube games! I don't know how much I'll use the chat features but I think they are a very nice touch
@Ooccoo_Jr only reason I can think is it's the digital version of mario kart so if you want all your games physical might put some people off..personally I would prefer physical but I don't mind digital especially for a portable console
Nice, I haven't picked this up for ps5 yet maybe I'll wait for this version (as long as the port is decent) having an open world star wars game to take on the go sounds great!
Timing feels a bit weird with this one, we're getting 2 mascot racers from nintendo on the switch 2 in year 1? I might pick this up but feel like it's going to be eclipsed by mario kart
Oooooo that's interesting I've kind of dismissed all the c button rumour as people getting over hyped, and that it'll probably do something minor but the fact nintendo took the time to make a litte tease for that button is exciting
I love this idea, a good excuse to keep the switch 1 hooked up to TV and maybe it'll even help switch 1 continue to sell. If someone buys a 2 and doesn't already have a 1
Still feel it was weird to do this just before the switch 2 direct, cause now I'm thinking there's plenty still to play on switch 1 so no rush to upgrade 😅
@Gazzils pretty sure the voice over guy said 15 playable character so definitely a handful more to be revealed plus as you say I'd imagine there'd be post launch dlc. With a character library as vast as marvel there's so much potential for additional content
Decent enough for a direct that I had low expectations for because of course they're saving the big stuff for switch 2. I'm excited for marvel cosmic Invasion love the art style and I love marvel. And the pokemon trailer got me more interested in that it, as a casual pokemon fan who doesn't play all the games I think this will be one I pick up
I think it was decent enough, I expect more from them next year as it's the 30th anniversary plus the switch 2 will be out by then so they can start announcing projects for that
I'm expecting somewhere between £350-£400. In which case I'll probably buy shortly after release not day one maybe a few months later assuming there's no supply chain issues or faults with the console at launch. If it's more than that I'd probably wait longer. I imagine they'll want to under cut the ps5 to avoid directly competing with them. Digital ps5 is currently £390 so £350 sounds good, £300 would be amazing
@OorWullie I'd shocked if they got GTA VI to run on switch 2, if we get anything from Rockstar for switch 2, I'd put my money on a RDR 2 port. As exciting as it is that more recent releases might make it to this new console, I hope it doesn't stop Devs from making games that push the PS5 to it's full potential, I can see them making less powerful games for the purposes of getting them to run on switch 2 as well as PS5
This isn't surprising, I think much like the switch received many ports of ps2/3 era games, the switch 2 will get ps4 era ports especially if the reports of it being roughly the same power as a ps4 are true. It's an easy way for the publishers to make an extra bit of money from pre existing games and gives us an opportunity to have some older favourites in a portable format or a chance to play something you might have missed first time around
Pleeeaase I've been waiting for a new rayman game since legends it's been 10 years! Every time ubisoft have one of their E3-esque events I hope for news and it never happens. I don't understand why they've left this series so dormant after the acclaim that origins and legends got
Looking forward to this loved the first LiS, didn't enjoy the sequels as much as and I think that's because I didn't enjoy the characters. Will likely play this on PS5 instead of switch though but it's nice that the option is there
No this whole xbox games coming to other consoles thing made me realise why I've never had an xbox. their games simply don't interest me. Nintendo and playstation both have a far more consistent hit rate of first party titles
Wouldn't be surprised if this gets released on the switch and the new console. Like a "it runs on both but it's at it's best on the new console" situation which might be why they didn't want to show gameplay
Love this. After the EA reboots I didn't think we'd ever see these versions on console again! Would love a full remaster at some point but I'll settle for the re-release for now 😁
I loved generations and have been hoping for some sort of sequel for awhile but this will do, shadow stuff looks interesting almost like a reimaging of the ps2 game
