I think to get more sales, Nintendo should price cut Switch and maybe even have some sort of Nintendo Selects. This would give more of a reason for people to buy Switch 1 even with Switch 2 coming to the market.
That new button previously rumoured for the right Joy-Con is one of few things we can confirm from the reveal, and it's not even a 'C' button anymore - at least it doesn't have the letter imprinted on the top.
I think it’s still a C button but the 3D model used in the trailer hid it as if was still a secret.
This probably won't be too exciting if you're looking for Nintendo content, but we could see a lot more 3rd parties coming to Nintendo consoles from this than previous years with Switch 2 on the horizon.
So $60 dollar port of a $15-20 game with no new content in which some ways is a graphical downgrade and a new glitch that negatively impacts co-op playing?
The positive I see right now is it's not the new DK look
I think in Mario games (Kart, Party, sports, etc.) DK will look like this, but if he ever gets his own game in the Country series, I think he will look like DK used to.
Releasing essentially the same game repackaged for $70 every year isn’t exactly the best decision, but the people making the poor decisions are the ones this will most likely effect the least
This has been one of the most anticipated consoles of all time, so it makes sense. The wait has been so long so people are very eager for any official info on it!
I really don't like it. I like what I've seen from the other characters, but not him. I am a huge fan of DK (specifically from the country games) so it's sad to see him become his arcade/movie self instead of his DKC look, which is what he's had in the previous Mario Kart titles.

I put an amount of '?' depending on how certain I am about them being here. If I didn't put a question mark, I am nearly 100% certain about it.
I think there are 24 players in a race, and I believe these are the 24 in the race shown!
This looks awesome! I was hoping to see more games, but other than that this looks very promising. I wish I didn't have to wait so long for the Direct!
How about the first mainline 3D Kirby happening? I thought that was a huge moment for Switch.
Pikmin 4, Metroid Prime 4, and RPG Paper Mario (even though it was a remake) finally happening after so long were pretty Switch defining as well.
Also, Mario Odyssey was a huge miss not to put on this list, and a 2D Mario that wasn’t a part of the “New” sub-series was insane considering it’s been since Gameboy.
The Switch 1 game boxes seem almost exactly the same size as the Switch screen, so maybe Switch 2 game boxes will be about as big as the Switch 2 screen?
When Nintendo finally reveals the thing I hope we have more of a focus on software in the initial trailer, because we seemingly already know most things about the hardware

No Mario Kart (working title) on this list?

Best game in the series in a very long time, well deserved!

Really good OST, can't wait to listen to it more when I get the chance!

Re: Kirby: Planet Robobot Figure Returns As A Good Smile Re-Release
Why would they randomly reissue this? Really hope this is pointing towards a remake/remaster!
Re: Poll: With No Switch 2 News Until April, Is A February Nintendo Direct On The Cards?
Robobot time?
Re: Square Enix Revives Super Mario RPG Soundtrack With Three New Music Products
Great OST, very cool they're releasing it like this! Hopefully we'll get it on Nintendo Music someday!

This probably won't be too exciting if you're looking for Nintendo content, but we could see a lot more 3rd parties coming to Nintendo consoles from this than previous years with Switch 2 on the horizon.
Re: Minecraft Reveals New Mob Variants And Much More In Latest Content Drop
Please…stop…with the variants, the originals were so iconic why change that
Re: Talking Point: What Do We Actually Want From 'Mario Kart 9'?
The main thing I want: Kirby!

Re: New-Look Donkey Kong Items Now Available On The My Nintendo Store

Re: Ubisoft Confirms Another Wave Of Layoffs, With 185 Employees Affected
I think this is proof that this style of creating games and trying to get the players used to not owning their games doesn’t work.
Re: 15 Best Sidequests In Switch Games
Olimar's Shipwreck Tale is surprisingly really good considering it's an optional side thing you get just by talking to Olimar

Re: Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatible Guide - What Switch Games Can't Be Played?
I believe WarioWare: Move It! was specifically confirmed to be playable on Switch 2. Is there an IR motion camera on both joy cons?
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has also been confirmed to be playable on Switch 2
Re: Nacon Expects Switch 2 To Launch In The First Half Of Next Fiscal Year
I mean that makes sense, doesn’t seem very likely to release after that.
Re: Community: What Are Your Favourite Sidequests On Switch?
I thought Olimar’s Shipwreck Tale from Pikmin 4 was really fun. It counts as a side quest, right?

that's all, but my comment has to be longer
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Kart 64
The NA/EU box is better, shows more of the racers and it shows the track unlike the Japan one.
Re: Nintendo's Surprise Switch 2 Trailer Is On Track To Surpass 20 Million Views
This has been one of the most anticipated consoles of all time, so it makes sense. The wait has been so long so people are very eager for any official info on it!
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Feel About 24 Racers In Mario Kart 9?
24 is a great upgrade. Not too big as long as the courses are big enough!
Re: Mario Kart 9: Full Character Roster List - Every Racer Confirmed So Far
I think you missed Lakitu and Baby Rosalina
Re: Nintendo Believes In "Giving Proper Credit" After Backlash Over Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
They need to specify who worked on the original since 99% of this game was made by them. Some of the 1% makes it feel worse, sadly
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Donkey Kong's Redesign In Mario Kart 9?
I really don't like it. I like what I've seen from the other characters, but not him. I am a huge fan of DK (specifically from the country games) so it's sad to see him become his arcade/movie self instead of his DKC look, which is what he's had in the previous Mario Kart titles.
Hopefully they fix it by release

Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2
@AlanaHagues Thanks! Yeah I missed that part. It SHOULD be 9, but it could be 10 or have a subtitle.
Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?
I gave it a 7 (although thinking about it more maybe an 8.5 give or take). Very nice looking console, the presentation was okay.
Mario Kart looks good, but 3D Mario would’ve been much better. I also wish we got more than 1 game in the trailer.
We also didn’t really get any hint of how much power it has which would’ve been nice to know.
The Direct is very exciting, but it is so far away! I thought it was February, but turns out I was watching a different region’s trailer
Re: Switch 2 Will Be Backwards Compatible With Physical And Digital 'Switch 1' Games
I hope it will enhance Switch games as well. Good to know I'll be able to have both my digital and physical Switch games on here!
Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2
@AlanaHagues Are we for sure it's called Mario Kart 9?
Re: Nintendo Will Hold A Switch 2 Direct Presentation In April
I thought the Direct was February 4th, but I was watching the UK trailer! Can't wait, but looks like it'll be a while XD
Re: New Mario Kart Teased For Switch 2
These graphics look awesome, I just wish DK looked like the DKC model instead of arcade model.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
This looks awesome! I was hoping to see more games, but other than that this looks very promising. I wish I didn't have to wait so long for the Direct!
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Will Reportedly Be Officially Revealed This Thursday
With how many comments there are you'd think this was Nintendo themselves announcing it!
Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs
Maybe it’s good that the OG team isn’t credited for making the game worse? Please have a separate thing with the wii/3ds developers!
Re: Random: Geez, PS5 Game 'Anime Life Sim' Sure Looks Familiar
Seems like another lawsuit approaching
Also that side-by-side picture makes me think this could be partially made by AI, but I’m no expert at telling that kind of stuff 😆
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Will Reportedly Be Officially Revealed This Thursday
That’s the day of the DK port but this guy has been pretty accurate when talking about Direct reveal timing so I think he could be right about this.
Re: Feature: 8 Games That Defined The Switch Generation

Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
The Switch 1 game boxes seem almost exactly the same size as the Switch screen, so maybe Switch 2 game boxes will be about as big as the Switch 2 screen?
Re: 'Switch 2' And Software Listings Spotted On French Retailer's Internal Database
I’m more interested in 1st party games. Hoping Nintendo makes an announcement soon, I’d rather Nintendo do that part than the leaks.
Re: Surprise! Another 'Switch 2' Accessory Has Been Revealed
There’s more leaks for Switch 2 than Mario and Luigi can handle!
Re: Talking Point: Is The Switch 2 Going To Be Too Big?
The rumored measurements don't seem too big. I just don't want the next console to be much bigger than that.
Re: Nintendo and Lego Are Collaborating On A New Game Boy Set
Cool, I like when they make console LEGO. Hopefully SNES, 64, and GameCube at somepoint down the line?

Re: Tencent Labeled A "Chinese Military Company" By US Government
Interesting. I doubt this connection with the Chinese military but I am not a fan of this company anyways based off of what little I know.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Donkey Kong Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
I started listening to some of the songs and I forgot how good they were! Not as good as the first 2 DKC OSTs but still some of the best on SNES!
Re: The Pokémon Company Has Seemingly Dubbed 2025 "The Year Of Eevee"
I already wasn’t a huge fan of Pokemon but this gives me absolutely no hope we’ll ever get to a good game any time soon
