Hopefully every other region will now get the exclusive outfits that Japanese gamers got for Splatoon 2. Mightily jealous of them for that.

@-Green- Just ignore those people, they were going to say these things no matter what. The third standalone game in this incredible series is going to be well worth the wait and September cannot come soon enough.

I would also like a remaster of the excellent Wii game. That was a great game with great humour and killer soundtrack.

I really want this to be good. Looks like a lot of fun.

I am just playing through the No More Heroes games (thanks to PlayAsia) and these are remastered done correctly. Grove Street Games/Rockstar take note.

Splatoon 3 - that is all

@Arteus Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Thankfully I live in the UK and LRG's postage prices are ridiculous so I am never tempted by the games they offer. Apart from Scott Pilgrim. That I had to own.

@RR529 What do you mean, they ARE the big releases Happy Birthday Inti Creates

Will you be returning to Fortnite to see Capcom's legendary Street Fighters in action?

No.

@Noble_Haltmann @MS7000

Estimated Splatoon playtime 150 hours
Actual Splatoon 2 playtime 610 hours

This will due down to the WiiU not having as long a life span as Switch but the gameplay just feels better in the Switch version. The maps are incredible, the weapons are great and the entire game is just more polished than the WiiU game.

Just look at Fortnite, it survives with the same map for years with tiny changes every month or so. That has not hurt the game at all. Splatoon 3 will likely start with all new maps and then some of the old modified maps released into circulation every few months.

2022 seems like so long away (which it is).

I have been waiting for this announcement since 2019. It is the only online multiplayer game I play. I was watching this with my nephew and niece (ages 44 - 13 - 8). We all totally went mental when we realised what it was. I will be buying them both the game on release day without fail and my niece will still probably be able to destroy us both as she is a Splatoon master. I cannot believe we have to wait at least a year.

Too soon for no. 3? It cannot come soon enough IMHO.

I am very pleased with this collection as I refuse to play Strictly Ltd games prices as being in the UK the extra shipping and possible import duties make purchases from them far too expensive.

"If the device breaks down without observing these precautions, you may be charged for repair."

Also, we will charge you for repair even if you observe these precautions. Especially if it is Joy-Con drift.

I bought this quick from Argos before the price skyrockets on eBay/Amazon. Gonna update now. Sad to see these developers go.

My niece (and myself tbh) has wanted Callie & Marie for two years. They were in my basket quicker than my niece obliterates me during Splatfest.

Wow, these games (Gal Gun, Gun Gun Pixies etc) always light up the comments section like a match to a pair of panties.

Bought it this morning as I like all of Horberg's games and really enjoying it so far. Well done that man.

Always come across as a really nice guy. All the best to him.

Is it Ma-rio or Mar-io??

Blade Strangers is also a good indie brawler.

This is great news. I have just got an Evercade and loving it so far. The Piko vol. 2 looks decent but the Jaleco looks full of retro goodness.

As much as Miyamoto is a genius, I hope he did not say do you really need a story.

@NEStalgia I imagine the cool little feature where hovering over the game picture on the search/menu screen scrolls through the pictures can't help matters.

@diwdiws But with over 6000 games on the eShop, it will be very difficult even with the best search features to find the games without knowing about them beforehand.

Things I would do if publishing a game

1) List it on the Coming Soon page. The sooner the better to get it out there.
2) At the very least, put a video on the eShop page of the game. A demo is even better but not always possible depending on what Nintendo charges to put demos on the eShop (if they do)
3) Send advance copies or codes for sites like this one to play the game. Just try and get exposure.

Nintendo has never had a good store front for its consoles so instead of complaining about them, get creative in getting the game out there.

I don't see it as Nintendo's job to promote every indie's game on the eShop as which do you choose out of the 20+ games that are released every week. If you chose one of the games of these two companies, you are then leaving the rest of them with no promotion.

How else do independent developers promote their games though? Can they release trailers on YouTube? There are not many (if any) Nintendo specific magazines out there anymore than can cover indie releases. Can NintendoLife do a weekly roundup (separate from the weekly release list)? It is a difficult time out there but I can't see an easy solution for a lot of them.

Suda51 has contacts in the Taiwanese ratings board and asked them to list the game just to troll us all.

Would love both games to be remastered but the original will do nicely. When No. 3 was announced, I got the Wii out just to have a game on them and still great fun.

Love how there is a closeup of her thighs.

Anyone who put 2020, I feel sad for you.

3 - please. I am begging you, Nintendo.

Been playing this today. It was like I got in a time machine but instead of playing on a small monitor in a corner of the office, was sat on the couch, playing on a big TV. One of the best FPS of all time and even today's graphical standards cannot dull the experience for someone who played it back in the day.

Annoyingly, I missed one secret in the first level and I am trying to find it without cheating and looking on YouTube.

@N00BiSH I 100% agree. One of the best joypads in human history.

I love a good mystery but these listing are getting a bit boring now.

@Damo Can you just have one article and keep updating it?

I would actually prefer GTA4 as 5 has been remastered to death. Would love to play through that story again and tye two DLC packs.

You've got to love and/or be disturbed by Japanese videogame culture.

Missing Switch is a big mistake. I could imagine it selling half a million easily due to the fond memories people have of the original versions.

There was practically no chance of BotW2 or Metroid being released this year even without lockdown anyway so they do not come as a shock. I was hoping for some news on Splatoon 3. I don't even care about delays as long as the finished products is of high quality. Look at Animal Crossing, that was delayed and people complained. Did it affect the sales when eventually released? More delays means I have more time to clear some backlog.

Such amazing artistry. I hope they can find someplace to use some of those unused designs are they are incredible.

I rarely buy digital games on day one. This is one of those rare times.

Streets of Rage 4 WAS a 'Must Buy'. I'm not sure what it is now as the chance to play as the retro characters and have the original music is the greatest video game news this year.

@DockEllisD Glad it is not just me who does not want to pay far too much extra for a Limited Run copy. Living in the UK also adds postage and then a chance of having to pay import tax. £50+ later...

Incredible. Just incredible.

One thing I would love to see them do is have every game that was going to be playable on the show floor, be given a demo on the eShop.

@sanderev Thank you, I will repost it again until people calm down (I know this is impossible)

This game does not currently support the ability to transfer your save file from one Nintendo Switch console to another. However, a function specific to Animal Crossing: New Horizons to move users and save data to another console is planned for later this year.

.... [Just as he was about to type 'Wow, a lot of complaining on this comments section', he realised two important points

1) There has just been a Nintendo Direct
2) This is a comments section

Now, you could remove one of the above points and there will still be complaining but both together multiplies it. Considering all these factors, and the fact that a comments section without complaints is like a boxing match without punches, he decides not to comment at all]...

I was that convinced that they would announce Splatoon 3 before the end of the year, I told my nephew that if they didn't I would buy him some v-bucks for damn Fortnite. C'mon Nintendo, two days left....

I wondered how long it would be until the negative posts started appearing. I am now changing this to how long until the positive comments start

I am a much bigger SW fan than a Pokemon fan but this article brings a smile to my face. I am sure it has nothing to do with EA publishing.

@gcunit "Okay!"

I now just need the hair, physique, moves and clothes and I will BE Terry Bogard.

£17.99 on EU Shop. As much as I want the game, I am waiting for a sale on this one as the Capom Beat 'em Up Bundle is £15.99 with 7 games.
