@Folkloner Until it's 100% confirmed that it's not coming to Switch 2, yes, we'll cover what might be the most anticipated game of all time.

Don't like it? Don't read it.

I've pre-ordered the console with MK World, an SD Express card, a Pro Controller, and a GameCube controller.

@Bunkerneath Sorry, I should have clarified. The demo builds have various save states that can be loaded.

I think it probably will be the biggest launch ever, but Smithers' reasoning here is absurd. Pre-orders mean nothing if Nintendo can't satiate demand by shipping enough units, and Furukawa has already said there won't be enough.

So yeah, 2.2 million lottery participants is awesome, but if there are only, say, 1 million units available, it's a very different story.

@Spider-Kev 3.9GB, according to the US eShop.

@Byaaah31 Not yet, but from what he said, it will likely be comparable to Fast RMX.

@gcunit They did tell me a proper deep dive will be on the way very soon.

@Gryffin It was number 1 for two weeks, then it went down to 5, and now 9.

@JohnnyMind Keep being you, my friend.

Hi folks - I've reached out to SEGA to inquire whether there is an upgrade path available for Switch 1 owners. I'll update the piece as soon as I hear back.

@Lofoten Yes, I do know that it's still amusing.

I do find it funny, by the way, that Nintendo wanted to specifically avoid referencing the SNES with the Switch 2's name, and now it's done this!

@Chimichanga Ah man, that would be awesome, it looks great.

Very cool.

@Friendly I didn't get much opportunity to try the d-pad, so I can't make any confident comparisons right now. I did use it when playing Street Fighter 6, and it felt pretty natural.

@MrGawain Hehehehehe

@kmtrain83 You can yeah, it's in the options menu.

@AG_Awesome Yeah it seemed that way for me too, but then playing in such a busy, loud environment, it's hard to really get a feel for it. It seemed as though general movement was mapped to a basic twin-stick setup, while locking-on then allowed for additional aiming via gyro. I would imagine the full game will include a combination of both, though.

I also had to really ramp up the sensitivity of the mouse controls before it felt even remotely satisfying.

@DashKappei I doubt potential price changes in the US have been even remotely finalised yet. Watch this space.

Gosh, that Vita's lovely...
...
Oh, it's mine. Heh!

@Spider-Kev Yes.

@Bobb I don't think even Cyberpunk is as expensive as Mario Kart World, and that's coming on a 64GB cart.

I think the most important thing to note here is that, no, I wasn't at all jealous that my colleagues got to play Switch 2.

Not at all.

@Daniel36 Hahaha y'know what, that's not a bad shout.

@KITG_GROUP Boom! Yes, great idea.

Just to clarify, the same text appears to be at the bottom of all 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' physical games, but I'm just particularly salty about Metroid...

@Ooccoo_Jr Yeah our tool was still set to GMT all fixed.

If you want a little extra giggle, enable the subtitles and change the language to 'Danish - Navn Mann's True Intentions'.

@sikthvash Glad to be of service.

I'd actually disagree with them and say that Nintendo probably isn't looking to top the sales figures for MK8D. We've got to remember how much COVID skewed things for a while, and it's not realistic to expect a similar sales trajectory again.

It'll sell very well regardless, though.

@TheRazzBerry I had to type so fast man, it's all a blur.

@datamonkey Digital for now, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a physical at some point.

@Sylamp Yeah looks like they had an issue with the sensitivity and... their TV size? Heh, I have no solution for the latter, but as you mentioned, sensitivity can be altered via the pause screen.

@Ralizah @OldManHermit I would personally advise watching the first, if only because it gives context to a character that becomes quite prominent in the third movie.

For all the attention it's gotten for its violence, the overarching storyline is actually pretty cool.

@OldManHermit Kind of a mix, really. It's definitely got that '80s slasher vibe, but it really pushes boundaries with its depiction of gore.

Very happy for Ubisoft. AC: Shadows simply doesn't deserve the ridiculous hate.

@Serpenterror It was uhhh.... a test. Yeah that's it, a test.

@RaTheGrey I can't see Nintendo releasing a separate version for Switch 2 just to get 60fps in there. It'll be something akin to Smart Delivery on Xbox; playable via backwards compatibility, but with a few improvements here and there.

@datamonkey That's the plan!

@timp29 @datamonkey As requested, a countdown timer for the Switch 2 Direct is now live on the homepage

@Hinade Appreciate the feedback! There's a delicate balancing act to making sure our headlines have enough information that they don't venture into 'clickbait' territory, but I'm sorry you've felt spoiled in the past. Thanks for the comment.

I can't Xenobelieve it!

Give it to me now.

@timp29 We recently discussed this! It's something we're considering for all major Directs / Pokémon Presents, but no promises at the moment.

@sanderev If the dev wants to publically announce it with a blog post, it's fair game.

@DiamondJim All of them.

@JohnnyMind My assumption is there might have been some heated discussion taking place beforehand, but who knows.

@Princess_Lilly Oh for sure, but he's definitely trying to make it seem like he's not doing anything wrong.

@nhSnork It's fun, though! And goodness knows we need a bit more fun in this world.

You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person that I believed in yesterdaaaaaay

LET'S GO!!

@JSC016 It's what they do, and I think we often call them nitpicky when all they're doing is pointing out the facts. Not to discredit your comment though, it's perfectly valid.

Tolerance over this kind of stuff varies, so I really hope we do see it on Switch 2, regardless of the potential visual downgrades.
