@Nourldean Nintendo now only has to deal with one console, no more 3DS. There should be more 1st party games than before. There's also a severe lack of 3rd party original games for Switch, the situation is no better than Wii U. They are cheapening out on developing cost by porting older games - and the reason people bought them is to play the games on the toilet.

Unlike Wii or SNES, Switch is full of ports and remasters - very few original games.

Also, the Switch had been hacked one year after launch, piracy is rampant. Nintendo can't stop them because they are downloading the games directly from Nintendo server. Nintendo has only themselves to blame for their ticketing system for selling digital games. The software sales will remain low.

They are going to release that PvZ shooter game for Switch.

I played this on my PC, it's a really fun game - suits the Switch really well.

...and Fortnite is teaching kids to kill each other.

@ThanosReXXX You don't understand what I am saying: ray-tracing is not a new tech, it's the same thing that was used in tradition professional 3d rendering for decades.

It's dynamic because it's real-time, and can be done now because hardware is getting faster - but hardware is still not fast enough to generate professional quality because it's not accurate (but good enough for games). Or else video games will look the same as the Marvel Movies you see in the movies.

Pro-grade Ray-tracing needs 64bit double precision floating point. Nvidia RTX is using 16 bit which makes it possible to do in real-time at the expense of quality (even then is still too slow for many games when enabled.) It's the same with depth of field, motion blur and global illumination - it's not new tech, you can do it in real-time now but the tech is watered down from professional 3d industry. Current 3d tech in real-time just can't matched the existing ones that required thousands of computers to generate every frame.

@ThanosReXXX "current method of ray tracing is dynamic and real-time"

Of course it's real-time, it's in a game engine.

The existing professional ray-tracing is pre-rendered and required 64 bit floating point precision, the ray tracing used in real-time engine is only 16 bit floating point, the same with Global Illumination. Real time ray-tracing like Nvidia's RTX is not accurate, they don't have the precision of those used in professional app.

Iwata said "You are what you eat."
Miyamoto replied "Let's use that as a game mechanic for Kirby games!"

You guys in the comment are nuts, ray tracing was used in 3D program since the early 1990s (3D Studio by Autodesk). It's not a new thing, all gaming visual technology came from professional and visual effects that were used in films for decades. It's only now that hardware is faster that it's possible to do ray-tracing, GI, Depth-of Field, etc in real-time. They are not new tech.

34 Xbox sold!

No Switch so let's buy Xbox, 34 people were really desperate to play video games at home.

Why apologise when you you can refund them? Action speaks louder than words.

How hard can it be? Just reduced the amount of zombies.

"Dual Switch" - The New DS.

You can sell your used Switch now on eBay at double the price.

In a month time, use that money to buy a brand new Switch and a Switch Lite. It's just like the Turnip, AC is teaching us so much on scam.

(Yes, Stock Market is a scam. A legal scam just like the bank, which is a legal Ponzi scheme.)

VR is so retro now.

Capcom should devote their time and money to make a new RE8. Companies these days are just remaking things over and over, it's like they ran out of ideas.

Did you know that Tom Nook was inspired by Apu from The Simpsons?

Murder Simulator? LOL, you get to kill in almost every game these days. Is CoD or Fortnite not a murder simulator?

@SoapMonkey Get away from the world? People play AC because they missed the world they had.

Grinding everyday so you can save up money to buy things you don't need. Now being lockdown, you can returned to the consumer world again with AC.

If it looks pinkish and purple-ish then it must be cyberpunk.

This is the best time for indie developers, happily making games at home like they always did but now has reason to do that because of lockdown.

I already said this: This game is literally about consumerism.

It really is a metaphor of the real world: grinding everyday (working) just so you can buy things you don't need (and accumulating debt).

When economy collapsed and everyone is quarantined, playing this metaphor of life is comforting and poignant for some people. "Ah, the good old days of mindless consumerism."

I can guarantee that she will go back to the 3DS in a couple of days.

The reason DS/3DS are so popular with the elderly is because of the stylus control. They can play the games without using the normal game controller - which is not intuitive for them.

Nintendo really should continue with the Dual Screen design, there's a market for it.

Isn't it easier just spelling out your Paypal account for people to pay you?

Are you sure? Nintendo's server were hacked so many times before, there's even one arrest a couple months ago:

Animal Crossing reflects the real world's holidays and seasons and runs in real-time. So why don't they add a Corona Update to reflect the real world?

The game can teach kids (and adults) about social distancing by quarantine all visitors to your island and shutting down Tom Nook's stores. Isolating all villagers and you will have an AC: Happy Home Designer game on Switch.

(And stop hoarding!)

This game is literally about consumerism.

It really is a metaphor of the real world: grinding everyday (working) just so you can buy things you don't need (and accumulating debt).

OT but in case you didn't know, Ubisoft is giving Rayman Legends away for free as a 'stay home and play' gift. It's only available for a few days so be quick. (It's for PC btw)

Their servers are clogged at the moment, maybe wait a while before getting it.

This should've been the Switch launch title instead of that stupid 1-2-Switch.

Pfff... this was a launch title for Apple Arcade 8 months ago. Capcom called it their 'indie' game. It was made with a small team with a small budget. Nobody cares about it on Apple Arcade.

This is the ONLY game that caught my attention in the Direct.

And why is it a Mini? It's almost 30 mins.

Nintendo: "That Beat Sabre is really hot right now. Let's copy that and do it without VR."

You can time travel there already.

Nintendo is outdated, no more sharing is allowed. No more social networking or sharing now, it's all social distancing and isolating.

Of course it sells, it's been like 4 months since the last proper Nintendo game: Pokemon. (No, Brain Age doesn't count.)

Also, Nintendo delayed this game to a very fortunate period where everyone wants to quarantine on a deserted island.

In the movie, she can be Tom Nook's daughter.

Of course Nintendo will destroyed this project, I mean: Mario made with Dreams running on PS4 looks better than any Mario games on Switch.

It makes them look bad.

Quarantine on an island? Nintendo really did planned this! They delayed this game so it coincided with the virus crisis.

Limbo is inside Inside, you know what I'm saying? That blob with limbs sticking out? Yes that limbo should be a game on it's own.

This game came out on Apple Arcade last year, how can it be exclusive to Switch? I was hoping for some fun indie games like Toilet Paper Tycoon or Plague Inc 2, this is disappointing.

Everyone's at home, no one to man the servers.

Don't forget, Sakurai is an elderly man, he is vulnerable to the virus.

Why not put Corona in the game so we can fight the virus?

Australians are busy buying toilet papers, no time for games.

I am not scared, I just installed Norton and Mcafee.

Times are changing, no more social networking. Social distancing is the new trend.

Everyone is escaping to a tropical island. What if Nintendo added a Corona DLC and all the animals have to quarantine? That will be fun.

Miyamoto should streamed the Direct from home in his Mario pajamas.

Actually cancelling E3 is over-reacting. The virus is engineered to kill old people, it's a boomer-virus. It's all younger crowds at E3, there's no need to panic.
