I absolutely love Ratchet and Clank but I just don't use my phone for games. The game looks pretty good but I guess I'd rather see the multiplayer come back to the main games.
I love exploring games I never got the chance to play and Virtual Boy gives me some extra morbid curiosity.
I ordered the replica Virtual Boy shortly after the Direct. It's the kind of thing I like collecting.
Looking forward to trying Wario Land and Jack Bros. Insmouse no Yakata also stands out to me. My secret hope is we get the unreleased titles Bound High, Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers on it. After Star Fox 2 and Virtual Boy's comeback, anything feels possible.
@GravyThief It can't go back to GB/GBC. There's no official way to get Pokémon from Gen I/II to III. I have seen someone reverse engineer a way to do it but otherwise it's not happening. The Virtual Console releases of Gens I and II did have Bank functionality, so you could go from I or II straight to Gen VII. @Polvasti It sounds like they transferred everything out of Home to Scarlet. It's possible they did that because Home is a subscription based service.
@GravyThief Not the saves but the Pokémon. You can transfer from Gen III to IV (GBA to DS), IV to V, V to Bank (DS to 3DS) and then Bank to Home (3DS to Switch/Mobile).
I find the comparison to Microsoft to rich considering we've just seen The Great Circle release with only a fraction of the game on disc. Instead of going multidisc, they took the cheaper option.
Main thing I want to know is if the system transfer is all or nothing. I've got over 500 GB of games installed and don't really want to be putting all that on my Switch 2. I'd like to just transfer the ones with Switch 2 upgrades/updates. Plus if there's some with compatibility issues not fixed I'd rather just keep them on the Switch 1.
I've seen a few other people ask and get conflicting responses. I hope it's not just a download code. If it is, then hopefully it's transferable like the game-key cards seem to be.
Some people just will not follow any rules. I'd been to a few places in Japan with no photo rules. There'd be staff giving several reminders about it but the second they look away someone pulls out a phone and starts taking photos anyway.
I saw him perform live with his band not too long ago. His latest projects were combining music and voice acting to some story book style narratives and visuals. It sounded like he wanted to continue with it.
Cool to start seeing a timeline for this. I imagine internally there's a bigger focus on having games ready for the Switch successor so it'll be interesting to see what Switch games get announced in the Direct.
VI is certainly my favourite FF and the HD-2D segment in the Pixel Remaster felt like a taste of what they want to do. Though given what's said here seems more like they're thinking of something more like going beyond what they did when remaking III and IV. Guess we'll see if the inside demand at Square leads to anything.

Do you mean laps in Grand Prix? Because you can do regular laps in single player vs race just fine.

@iLikeUrAttitude
You can't "buy" the Nintendo Music service. It's just a part of their online service.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is Getting A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
I think they accidentally leaked Rosalina in that first image.
You can see her in the VS icon on the bottom left next to Yoshi.
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Kirby's Best Shines Even Brighter
Sounds fun. Feel like I might want to start over with the main game first as it's been a while since I've played Forgotten Land.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Have A New Go-To Racer In Mario Kart World?
Penguin for me.
I've also played Dolphin and Cataquack a lot. There's a bunch of the NPC racers I really like. I've hardly played as the regular characters.

Glad to hear it also has the same battery life as the Switch 1 Pro controller.

$1USD is not the same as $1AUD. With current exchange rates the Australian price is about $15 cheaper than what it should be.

Re: New Mario Kart Teased For Switch 2
There's at least 24 starting spots on the track so it looks like 12 racers isn't going to be the max anymore.

Got my hopes up thinking the Direct was February. Damn date systems.
Re: Anniversary: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Now Six Years Old

Re: Feature: The Pitch-Perfect Storytelling Of Final Fantasy VI’s Opera, And How The Pixel Remaster Missed A Note
@Krull
Comment might have to do with Hiroyuki Ito, the designer of the ATB system, mentioning he designed that battle system believing FF battles would eventually be in real time but being unable to actually do that at the time. https://web.archive.org/web/20151010232753/http://www.1up.com/features/final-fantasy-hiroyuki-ito-science

Sad news but it's really sweet to see all those players doing that.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
I like the NA box art but there's no triceratons in the game, so I went with JP for not being misleading.

I've completed the DLC on normal mode, still have the save but the picture doesn't show up for me.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Kirby's Adventure
