@Anti-Matter that’s cool. Everyone has their own tastes I guess

@HatesCheese true. Wii Sports Resort is one of my most nostalgic games but I always thought the air sports, cycling, basketball and power cruising were better. Maybe people just like Matt beating them senseless 😂

I hear a lot of people saying they want boxing back. I honestly thought that was one of the worst sports in the series, but that’s just my opinion

Definitely still confused why they waited so long, but I’m still pumped for it. Basketball was easily the second best Wii Sports Resort sport besides island flyover

I dunno for sure how I stand on this issue, but I agree that Nintendo has a right to guard their IPs and fan art can either scare away from or drum up interest in a product. I can see it being used to the advantage of Nintendo and the disadvantage and if they think the cons outweigh the pros, well then that’s the best decision

@Tayrailbridge yeah, 3 was basically the game that got me to branch out into more Nintendo franchises. I’ll probably go back for another play through sometime

I personally like Pikmin 3 more than 4 but don’t wanna go back to it in case my memories of it made it better than it was

This is actually a really good game. BUY IT NOW

@The_Pixel_King a few people give games a one on all of these polls for some reason

Good. I’ve never gotten a console day one and I was worried about that for this console

Paper Mario is the only 2024 game I’ve gotten so far so I guess that’s GOTY. Can’t see why people would put Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a 11 year old game that barely looks better than its original release

No tomadachi life? 😢 glad Yoshi’s woolly world was on there though

Not really into theses as I prefer physical games more. Only time I got ones was to get totk without paying the $70

@Lofoten Kong the Kong is clearly the best

I’ve played this game too much. I have thousands of toads and am past over a hundred areas in remix 10. Maybe I’ll try a few of these challenges

@Johnion thankfully I have a friend who’s willing to sell his 3Ds and copy of the game for a cheap price

@axelhander oh yeah, I did play the first one on nso, but I had forgotten about it. It was pretty enjoyable

@PipeGuy64Bit yeah, I’ve been thinking about picking it up sometime

I noticed something was up in the direct when none of the new games had “available to preorder” after them. Can’t decide if pyoro going down is a good thing though. I certainly enjoyed watching people decode his cryptic hints, but it’s nice at the same time to have unspoiled directs

Sad. Never played a DK game before and was hoping to get this since it comes out the day before my birthday. But $60 is too much for this

@TotalHenshin it’s a pretty good game but very glitchy and time consuming. I’d suggest getting Animal Crossing if you’re willing to spend a bit more

I enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion 3 but $60 is way too much to spend on a lackluster 3DS remaster. I’ll probably get a 3DS and get that version for cheaper

I remember being scared of the box art of the Wii version as a kid lol. This is kinda outrageous though as you can pick up a Wii copy for less than ten dollars

Never played any of the franchises mentioned in the article, but I’d be happy to try a new earthbound entry as the games look neat

@DarkTron huh, looks cool!

No clue what these are but the bulborb is adorable

Beaches are kinda overrated tbh. I’ll be sticking with theme park for this one

@AG_Awesome sorry, but Lego battle of the five armies will just never happen 😔

I’m a big LOTR fan, but I think Animal Crossing and Dreamlight Valley are all the games of this genre I can handle

Still on the fence about getting this game. Never played a Metroid game before, but if everyone’s so hyped for it maybe I’ll give it a shot

@Retrodouche guess so

@Retrodouche sorry, but I started on the Wii U and playing the same game for 10 years gets old. The dlc tracks were fine but mostly lazy. From 2015-2024 we got eight new tracks: battle arena, dragon palace, sweet sweet kingdom, lunar colony, urchin underpass, sky high sundae, yoshi’s island and squeaky clean sprint. Two cups worth isn’t worth nine years of waiting, especially when over half are mediocre battle tracks. But this is all just my opinion, if you think a decade old port with dlc suffices for this Mario kart draught, then I envy you

Had a lot of great announcements but for some reason I felt a bit disappointed. Nothing here screamed ‘Day one buy’ for me for some reason

Cool! Probably won’t pick this up anytime soon since Paper Mario TTYD is all the rpg I can handle at the moment

Might pick this up. I only own Mario Party Superstars and it’s a good game I but don’t see the need for more than one

Was definitely not expecting a Nintendo Switch Sports update this late. Gotta admit, basketball was one of my favorite sports on Wii sports resort so I’ll be sure to check this one out

I know everyone is so sad that there hasn’t been a new DK game in years with just two rereleases now but may I point out that Mario kart has had nothing but ONE PITIFUL RERELEASE IN TEN YEARS! Sorry I just hate Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and it gets me so mad when people say it’s the greatest switch game

Cool. This is a Zelda game I’m more likely to pick up even though I’m not a huge fan of the series

Probably the most excited I’ve been during a direct and I’ve never even played a Metroid game lol

Definitely wasn’t expecting this now. Cool to get an update, though the Japan release date don’t affect us Americans much. Good thing it’ll be a ‘fun’ movie though. I was dreading thinking Nintendo was trying to make a boring movie XD. Looking forward to the movie though (especially with Yoshi). Hoping for Daisy, Wario, Waluigi, story not based on one individual game, better writing and plot. I loved the first movie but there were a few issues they can straighten out.

Predictions
Opening segment: Xenoblade Chronicles X port releasing September
Headlines: Kirby eshop title releasing July and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Segment: new Mario Party game releasing November
Headlines: Yoshi’s Woolly World: Reknit releasing October, Wind Waker HD releasing August
Segment: F-Zero GX remastered releasing November
Headlines: NES World Championship game, Metroid Prime 2&3 available after presentation
One last thing: teaser for Metroid Prime 4,
With 2025 release date

I think a lot of people will be disappointed with this show, but I think it will be pretty good. I heard not many people liked the September 2023 one and I thought it was the best one in a while so who knows 🤷‍♂️

@nebzila thanks!

Dang it I was hoping it wouldn’t be then. I have a job interview at 9:30 ET 😭😭

Also would like to see tomadachi life in any way but I doubt it

All I want is a new entry/port of Nintendo land (I know it’s not happening) or a port of Yoshi’s woolly world. That’s all I care about.

Also, if we’re talking how to use them looking forward, look no further than Yoshi’s woolly world. Giving a full texture for a Yoshi for that character was perfect and the list of compatible ones was crazy (olimar Yoshi was perfection)

Unfortunately, I don’t see many more amiibo being released in the upcoming years. Maybe a few with the Switch 2 launch titles and that’s about it. Unfortunately I was a bit late on the amiibo train, getting my first one a little over a year ago. I’ve only collected five (smash Yoshi, original inkling, big man, smash olimar and smash villager) but really want more from my favorite franchises (still waiting for a US Pikmin restock). Alas, I don’t see them lasting much longer even if I wish that wasn’t the case

Games are made as entertainment and art. If someone wants to put that stuff in their game then they’re welcome to, but they shouldn’t complain if it impacts the reception or sales of the game. People don’t like being preached to when they play games. Especially with Nintendo, their brand is built around family friendliness and they can’t uphold that if they’re teaching kids what parents may not want them hearing

Man, I really wish one would open in like Florida or something. One on the east coast that’s not in a city like NYC

I’m not a huge Zelda fan (only game I’ve played is totk) so I’ll probably just wait patiently for splatoon/pikmin/better Mario sets
