Even worse that they were released at the same time and not years apart. Clearly they gave no f’s about consistency.

Hooefully they are not laggy! Anyone played on Switch 1 that’s familiar with the original games noticed any lag at all?

@Maxz it’s the Publisher that would save, not the Developer. These are also a gateway to get people used to having to download games. Switch 3 will probably force u to download all games. A shame indeed. I will stick to retro gaming where u turn a game on and can instantly play your games with no updates or downloads from now on. Death to forced updates, downloads and internet required games!!!

Hardware not up to the job already 🥺

@IceClimbers agreed, that or they don’t want to reveal a different team is working on Mario3D for Switch2.

@Edu23XWiiU switch 2 comes with only 256GB and the memory carts are a new more expensive type.

HUGE RUMOR: Muscle Mummy Vlad will be hosting bits in between games introducing them with witty lines. Expect pink kitty ears! Great move Nintendo!

I have no doubt they would love for people to buy it twice.

Therefore my strategy would be to announce it for Switch (1) and say nothing about Switch 2 other than it looks best on Switch 2. Then about 3-4 months later announce a Switch 2 version that is the “prime” version -very noticeably better graphics, bug fixes, and a little extra content.

NEEDS a dial / rotary controller or I’m simply NOT buying!!!

Limited style publishers are an instant NO for me!

@larryisaman I think your right.

confirmed you can technically attach original joycons BUT there’s no power transfer.

I wonder if they are lights on the new joycons (for VR/AR/light gun interface)

Capcom Europe should be closed if they are making such stupid decisions.

This cost them my sale, and makes me less interested in even looking at their future announcements.

NO PHYSICAL, NO BUY!

@russell-marlow
No, this seems to have been green lit as the other entry is stuck in development hell. This gets something DK out to coincide with the theme park plus plugs a gap in Nintendos AAA releases at the tail end for Switch while they focus internally on next gen games.

PSVR needs this. Who knows, maybe Nintendo will do VR next gen

Saying they are working on a new Zelda or Mario is not groundbreaking -they are permanently working on ideas that will hopefully become the next Zelda/Mario. There is very little down time between the end of work on the last Mario/Zeld and the start on the Next Mario/Zelda -AAA games take years to make.

Knowing that these games are being worked on is hardly exciting, it’s expected and can be taken as fact without any official announcement. Leakers shouldn’t be given any clout for these.

More exciting is finally seeing the games in motion, and a hardware reveal with dates, prices, launch lineup, and a few surprises. Bring it on Nintendo!

@Cyberbotv2
Nintendo almost certainly charges a fair bit more relative to the competitions CD based software production. It also might take a bit more lead time (months?) to produce switch cartridges as there isn’t likely to be several factories producing them -a problem Nintendo used to have when they controlled their own cartridge production in the 90s.

Publishers are probably being risk averse with “expensive” and unpredictable sales numbers, knowing if they haven’t produced enough and need to put another order in it’s likely they will be in a que waiting several months for more to be produced from the one or two factories in Nintendos control.

Wheras cd based software is fast and cheap to produce more if needed -less risk in inventory and can get more out there fairly quickly if sales are higher than expected.

I was shocked Nintendo went back to carts this Gen tbh. Would be super super shocked if they did the same next Gen.

@Elbarbo curious if much different between FBoxing 1& 2. I have 1 but got bored quick -did they change much for 2?

Konami is going to lose a lot of sales for their stupidity.

I won’t buy a game unless it’s on the cart!!!

I don’t always have access to download games, plus I want to know that if if the publisher switches off a server or something happens to my switch I still have the game on a cart. I wonder how many people will be disappointed with Konami on Christmas Day when they open a game and realise they need to download it -needing a memory card with space, Internet and parents permission to download
So stingy Konami!!!!!!

It’s a pass from me then.

@solarwolf07 agree! And a physical version or I aint buying

No way. When it’s available to buy and ship straight away then I will buy (if the screen is bigger than GBA SP, it feels and controls well, reviews well). Why let them play with my money for more than a year -crazy!

The GameCube and Arcade version were underplayed gems.

It’s criminal how Nintendo has left some prime IP untouched for so long -kinda a bit like Sega 😞

Announcing a Saturn mini would be very welcome

I won't do patreon, but if they make a good game I will buy it for sure. My VB is hungry for more games! I haven't ever had a headache while using mine either (but then again I haven't used it for a long time non-stop either though) -I think it's likely a lot of the reports at the time may have been from people who didn't even try it / were particularly sensitive.

I want it physical or not at all.
Still no plans to release it physical?
I only got internets on my phone for the forseable future -I'm Povo
