@yohn777 I certainly think they could go that route and rerelease a bunch of Switch games to pad out the launch, but when there were so many ports coming in the Switch’s first few years and they received some backlash for it (except MK8 still sold well). I can’t imagine how big the backlash will be if they rerelease the switch games, especially if they’re at a higher price. If they release another Mario kart 8 I might actually explode 🤣 But honestly, I can see your side and I could see one coming, I just don’t understand why everyone seems to want that instead of a new game. There are series that need and old game instead of a new one, like Yoshi’s Woolly World coming back. It just feels like Smash Ultimate was, just like its name, the Ultimate form of what smash could be. If they added to that, it would take away of all that hype, and kinda defeat Sakurai’s masterpiece. If he’s not working on the next game, they need to find a way forward without him and reboot the franchise; redo all the character’s movesets, UI, everything about it to offer a different experience from the original pentilogy (if that’s how you say it)
@yohn777 I think the main reason all the ports from the Wii U to the Switch were successful is because not many people had a Wii U. As someone who did own one, I never bought MK8D until the booster course pass came because I had all the content already besides the battle stuff. The problem is forty million people already have smash ultimate and most probably have the dlc, and even if not you can just play the normal one since it’s backwards compatible. This is kind of in a Wii to Wii U territory where no games to my knowledge were directly ported. I’m not saying they can’t but rereleasing a game six years after it came out onto a system you can already play it on seems stupid and a bad business decision. I’m not a big smash fan and wouldn’t get a deluxe version (I haven’t even bought the dlc yet), and I feel like anyone who doesn’t own the game isn’t a big enough fan to want to pay extra for dlc. Sorry for the lengthy response 😉
@yohn777 I do own some other consoles, not any other than Nintendo, though. I could see this happening if it was an older game, like if Super Mario RPG was on NSO and then they released the remake, but since the game was released just six years ago, just bundling the base game with the dlc seems like something almost nobody would buy. Six years is plenty of time to make a new game so I don’t see why a reboot is so outlandish
@boxyguy that would make sense, and honestly I would agree that’s what they’d do, except the Switch 2 is gonna be backwards compatible. Why would you port a game onto a console you can already play? They could add new fighters and stuff, but I feel like Sora was the culmination of that game. I don’t know why everyone’s so against a Smash 6, it’s been SIX YEARS. It doesn’t need as much content, just give it a reboot
@Polley001 Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t even know that an official physical release was a thing. But Nintendo has done no marketing for this, and from a quick google search it’s on CD which hardly anyone uses anymore. I feel like they should market this more and put it on vinyl or something or just put it on Nintendo music
This seems like a good game that would be a fun first modern DK for me (and it comes out the day before my birthday!), but $60 is way too much. I didn’t buy Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and got it on 3DS instead, so I might just do the same
I really just think a camera and mic or maybe the face and backplates would be good enough. 3D would be cool but I feel like everybody but me said it made their head hurt
@Koxen I’m not saying the Switch sales will die immediately after the switch 2 launches, but comparing it to the 3ds sales is very different considering the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible, so there’s less of a reason to buy it over the successor
How do they not have exact numbers for this? Regardless, I doubt that it will pass it unfortunately and that stinks because a lot of people just got a PS2 for dvd playing and not for an actual game console
I’ve never played a sonic game before and don’t really care much for the character at all, but this movie looks really good. The first one was ok and I’ve yet to see the second yet, but I definitely will soon so I can see this in theaters
I’d actually never seen someone who owned a ds until like last year. I know it’s the second highest selling console of all time but I don’t know of anyone who still has one
Never played this game, but this is cool for the F-Zero fans out there! Also, this is kinda irrelevant, but has anyone noticed that the side order songs aren’t on the splatoon 3 album?
I love the Jackbox games so much. I’ve got 3 and 10 on the switch and they’re just great party games. Tee KO and fixytext are my two favorites but overall they’re just so good
Also gotta mention the boxing results screen might have the best beat of any Nintendo song. Gonna have to extend this one to an hour while I’m working 🎶
I’m shocked this game is getting support past Mario Kart Tour (not saying it’s better, I just assumed it was more popular). I used to play this game a lot, and went back for the princess peach showtime and TTYD events, but might pass on this one
Soooo they only reconfirmed one movie? How could it possibly take six more years for the Zelda movie to come when they said it had been in the works for TEN YEARS ALREADY?!?!
@rjejr There’s always the songs remade by other artists on Spotify or Apple Music or for people who don’t have NSO. If people cared enough to listen to that much of the music I feel like they’d have a Switch, especially since most of the games on the music app are from there

Re: 'Nintendo Music' Will Add More Tracks Over Time, Here's What's Been Revealed So Far
@rjejr There’s always the songs remade by other artists on Spotify or Apple Music or for people who don’t have NSO. If people cared enough to listen to that much of the music I feel like they’d have a Switch, especially since most of the games on the music app are from there
Re: Nintendo Music Will Add More Tracks Over Time, Here's What's Been Revealed So Far
@rjejr it isn’t really paid. I’m sure almost anybody who wants this app already has a NSO subscription

Please Nintendo, just add Pikmin 3, Wii Sports Resort, Nintendo Land, Mario Kart Wii, and Yoshi’s Woolly World and I’ll be happy!
