Man, they really are giving us everything but what we want

I heard this game is good. Might have to pick it up depending on the price

Forza would be cool…that’s about it

Nooooo 😭 I’ve watched these and they’re always so boring. Are they really not gonna have any more first party directs for the rest of the year?

Honestly, this looks perfect. I’ve never heard of either of them, but that’s cool they’re picking more obscure actors that look perfect for the part. I’m really looking forward to May 2027!

@SirPrimalform Nintendo is allowed to punish people who hack online, right? That’s not illegal, but they can still punish people for it. Just because something is legal doesn’t mean Nintendo has to let it happen on their systems

@SirPrimalform the justification is, if you bought a physical game, you bought the cartridge, full stop. You didn’t buy unlimited access to the game and if you try to take what’s not yours, then Nintendo can prohibit you from using their system

@SirPrimalform then you should play your games the way you bought them

@SirPrimalform I see a difference. I think that both are legitimate ways of punishing piracy, however

@SirPrimalform yeah, I know for a fact that some of the users are using it within legal bounds. However, just because something’s legal doesn’t mean Nintendo has to let you do it. You can get banned from their servers for cheating online, which isn’t illegal. If you don’t play fair online, you don’t play online at all. If you’re playing their games through means they don’t approve, then you can’t play those games at all

@liveswired the second hand market won’t be killed by this at all. All it requires is for buyers to be more vigilant. Scammers have always been rampant of second hand sites, and this is just a new wave of that

@BlackStar9000 I agree, the solution isn’t perfect, no solution probably will be, this is, in my opinion, the best way to do it

@joehendrey it’s true that Nintendo’s solution is not ideal, but given that people using MIG cartridges for reasons within the law are probably in the minority, and even less that are going to lose their original and have to use the backup, I think it’s a good way to get rid of pirates.
And about Nintendo not deciding the punishment…you think the courts are going to have time to prosecute every single person who pirates a switch game? If you’re using their products illegally, they have every right to not let you use their products. At least that’s my opinion

@Kenjur purchasing physical games is owning, it’s just owning of the cartridge, not the ability to play the game even if you lose it

@dcasotti I know they’re doing much more, and I think they’re totally justified

@CommanderTaco I see what you’re saying, and I do think what they’re doing isn’t perfect, but it is the best solution, in my opinion, to a big issue

@Crono1973 Yes

@Kostan because the scummy practice of piracy needs to be discouraged completely

@RejectedAng3L if you want to keep your games that safe, just buy digital

@Gedrick if you’re willing to cheat them out of money to get their games, they can do the same to you

@KingMike buyers need to be more aware of who they buy from. If you buy a bricked console, just return it to the scumbag seller

@Prapper then maybe self destruct features on the consoles would work better? 🤔

@Denoloco if you need a backup that bad then just buy digital. The possibility of losing it has always just been a symptom of buying physical

@chrisrlink I do think that that’s a big issue, and I wouldn’t discourage from buying used, actually. I usually try to buy a console used, in fact. I just think that the buyers and/or companies when they get a purchase/return, they should check the system first. It shouldn’t be that hard to turn the system on, and if it’s bricked then return it to the seller, or don’t except the return. All it requires is for the people to be a bit more vigilant

@Slideaway1983 I totally see that a third option might be best, but as you said, how you use them is probably in the minority. I feel like people act like if you buy something physical you’re entitled to it even if you lose it. When you buy a physical switch game, you’re not paying for access to the game like you are with digital, you’re paying for the physical cartridge and that alone. If you tend to lose cartridges then you can always buy digital or buy a replacement for a lost one. I’m not trying to be mean, but you are copying their game without their permission

I’m sorry, but I’m on Nintendo’s side here. If you steal from them by pirating, they should be allowed to restrict you from using their servers

Who woulda thunk

@Chlocean yeah, I just don’t think enough people will have two pairs for Nintendo to feel like they have to bother

@Chlocean local multiplayer would require you to have two sets of the new joy cons which I’m not sure many people have

Might actually try this if the reviews are good 👀

Land, easy. Although I’m tempted to pick sea because of big man’s incredible watermelon outfit…

Ahh, my favorite Nintendo song: “Chess: Too Bad”

If someone sues over this, that would be the pettiest thing I’ve ever heard

I don’t know specifically how long because I haven’t let it go down all the way, but I saw it going down crazy fast

I got mine from GameStop, and the number was a sticker on the box, which bugged me but this is much worse

Bingo battle in there is crazy 😂

@ItsBananaMan aw, crap…

I’ll pass, thanks

Hmm…seems like something they’d save for a direct. Maybe it’s not happening now?

I just got the expansion pass last month and was baffled by the lack of rewind. Maybe I’ll actually play some of these games now. Also, button mapping will make it so you can use the stick instead of the d-pad so Kirby 64 will be playable! 🥳

@ThatZeldaNerd Thanks! 😊

I’m going here in December, I’m so dang excited!

When I first saw this, I thought it was Gravity Falls news 🤣

What a great guy

Had an absolutely atrocious time online, so I had to drive to my GameStop on five hours of sleep and camp outside for four hours to get one. It should not be this hard

Ugh…I hope this comes with a different set because otherwise I’m gonna have to get it on eBay
UPDATE: It’s been revealed that it’s just an insiders points reward, which is way better

@HammerGalladeBro yeah, I have him in MKT, but being my favorite Mario character of all time, I NEED him in a mainline entry

Poochy please Nintendo…

@thaimbomb worth is in the eye of the beholder. If you put ‘realism’ above gameplay and everything else, then I guess that game really is for you

@thaimbomb but you don’t have to buy it physical. And to be clear, I’m not defending Nintendo upping their prices. I think MKW certainly doesn’t look like it’s worth $80. All that I meant was, you can’t bash Mario kart for its lack of “realism” because I think everyone understands that unlike GTA which is supposed to be in a realistic city, Mario kart is…Mario, since when has Mario been realistic? You can’t bash a game’s price and then tout your own just because of one random advantage (if you could even call it that)
