I was predicting Color Splash (which would've been good on it's own)...

...But BOTH Thousand-Year Doors?! These are genuinely some of the best soundtracks ever made, so excited to be listening to these!

@awp69 There's no way that little content is a ($70) 'full game'. It's still a smaller game than base MKW with all of its DLC

@Corvus96 Pretty sure you only get part of the game for $70, and you have to buy the full game for $90

Mario Kart World is good but not worth $80, and Sonic Crossworlds is definitely not worth $90

These games are often compared, but Kirby Air Riders will by far be the best racer this year!

Can we get the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller to win because of how hilarious it'd be if it beat the console itself!

@CrazyCaps No I totally agree this game is great (at least from what I've played of the original, and it's probably about the same gameplay wise), but I don't think any game is worth picking up at all if they choose game key card.

Mario Kart beat Sonic Crossworlds even in Sonic's launch week lol

Hopefully Pritchard will bring the company towards the right direction, not sure what she's done with Nintendo before but I guess we'll see soon!

I loved this game on GameCube, no interest since its game key card. I don't plan on buying any version, because it doesn't seem like they care about this game at all.

It's a shame since this is the first and only 3rd party game I've been really interested in.

I think the only way this makes sense in the timeline is is the Odyssey Pauline is Bananza Pauline’s grandma

I've had an excellent experience with Nintendo's customer service, especially a week ago, so if it's different then I can't imagine it'd be better

Cool! Glad these 9 tracks didn't take a slot for this week, but also glad that they're here! These are some of the best from the soundtrack, but really hoping for the rest at somepoint! please Gang Plank Galleon and King of Rot especially!

Here’s how to actually release games: have physical with full game on card, and give it the option to also download it.

Yeah I’m very hyped for this, glad it seemingly won’t just be taken off of stores like 3d all stars!

Nintendo is very anti-consumer this generation, if people just don't buy amiibo and game-key cards, I bet they'll learn their lesson.

That being said I love how these look, and the technology is more complex than your typical amiibo, but $50 each is still insane. Even $30 for normal amiibo is absurd, I'm pretty much done with amiibo now.

Can't wait for Kirby Air Riders, I'm not getting the amiibo but the game looks phenomenal!

As if the last Direct didn't show us how big this game was! Hopefully this comes sooner rather than later.

@Liam_Doolan What does this mean? "I was introduced to [a] Direct within [a] Direct... I'll do it! It's not something I can make right away, but please be patient" Can we have the original post so I can translate it?

Kirby theme lets go!

This reminds me, hoping for Pikmin 4 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition to be announced on Friday!

Surprised to see 2 Golden Suns before a 2nd Animal Crossing

I mean isn't it game key card? Those shouldn't even count on this list because I thought it only counted physical games

I would've got this game, but not worth my time if Bandai Namco themselves hate the game.

It's peak from the one level I've played, hoping to get to it again if I have time this week!

I'd take that price way before I'd take game key card!

I still have one that'll expire in October, I was expecting Nintendo to continually support the console but it's been about half a year since the last 1st party release, so idk what my voucher will be going to at this point. I'm just holding on hope we get a Switch 1 Mario game for the anniversary next month!

I think it's September, it won't sell very well to be a holiday title, so best not to waste that slot and fill it with a better seller. Pokemon and Kirby are already kind of going to dominate the holiday season.

Animal Crossing New Horizons being a Switch 2 game is crazy

Can’t wait to get this GOTY!

The big holiday title, this looks phenomenal!

Peak Direct! 45 minutes will be crazy, can’t wait to finally see gameplay.

This is going to be the best Switch 2 game, I have a good feeling about this one!

wdym with friends? Pretty sure you can only play multiplayer online and not splitscreen, you need multiple consoles/games to play multiplayer.

This is a top 5 games of all time for me, just below TTYD. These games are so good, here’s to hoping we get another game like this again!

Not interested whatsoever until it’s not game key card

I’ll be getting the upgrade, I’ve been wanting DLC for this game since it came out, I’m so happy it’s here even years later!

This looks peak, can’t wait for this! The new mouthful modes look a lot of fun

I’ll be getting the upgrade, not gonna spend another $80 on this game since I already have it. It’s one of my favorite games of all time, I’m so glad it’s getting more content!

@MegaChem Yep, the game key cards only give access to the game, they’re not the games themselves, although they’re being sold under the title “physical games”, that is untrue.

Look at all of those game key cards!

Worst partner Direct yet since most of the “physical” games are fake games.

@Pillowpants I haven’t seen any numbers besides Mario Kart taking up about 5/8 of Switch 2 software sales in June, and 3rd parties are said to be selling extremely underwhelming (besides Cyberpunk, a non Game Key Card)

I really hope we get some gameplay footage soon, this will probably be my GOTY!

Game Key Cards are selling awfully, they probably know this by now, right? Maybe they want to waste money?

Don’t even buy digital/switch 1 versions of game key card games, if they don’t care about the game why should we?

@Suketoudara @dskatter There goes any chance of me getting this game, this was the first 3rd party game I was interested in, what a shame.

BEST ANNOUNCEMENT! Excited for this one unless it’s a game key card!

Edit: How dare they treat such a good game with game key card? I’ll be sticking with the original, I see how much they value the games they make. I refuse to buy any version of the re-release, are 1st party games really my only option?

$80 with $55 camera and $100 Joy Cons (probably need 2 pairs for whole experience) is way too expensive for me. I might’ve got the upgrade if it came with new boards or characters, but it’s pretty much only content for the gimmicks/accessories

I’ll probably be playing some DK Bananza, this is my favorite Switch 2 game so far!

This engine is so good, there’s so much to it that you can just skip so much!

These games were so good, when will we get a new entry?

Maybe Mario Baseball will be added to NSO?

Playing Bananza, of course! It is feeling like one of the funnest games I’ve played already!

@Maxz what are you talking about? I read joys and cons first, but there’s really not much complained about I saw in this review.

I was just stating my opinion based on the review, if this review/opinion can be stated, I can give my 2 cents as well

The Joys and Cons are there for a reason as well, if someone doesn’t have time to read the full review, it’s a good summary. Is this not a good summary? Does it not do a good job of showing this game’s complaints?
