@Maxime Exactly that. People are completely blinded by the sparkles and pink dresses, while they ruin lives all the time.
Nintendo will only treat their customers worse and worse if we keep allowing it.

@SalvorHardin Oh I always thought the soundtrack and setting were just really soothing. It's more a cosy atmosphere with non cosy gameplay, I don't know. That's what I like about it. I find it hard to describe but it has tons of atmosphere.

“Fish swims in water and gets wet”

It seems really, really stupid to not include games. Especially if the console isn’t going to be radically different. It will be New3DS/WiiU all over again. The general public won’t know why to buy it. Most people buying these consoles for their children do NOT know what ‘backwards compatibility means’. Stock markets would hate this.

Although there will probably be a thirty year old trying to sound like a five year old and explaining it with a heart filled with joy.

Other scenario: Nintendo doesn’t actually have anything to show because they just burnt out their Zelda resources and Mario isn’t ready yet. They’re hoping Metroid will hurry up and save the day, and regret neglecting the Donkey Kong franchise.

(Since we’re all talking rumours and speculations now)

Can’t wait to be wrong!

This makes me happy, even though it doesn’t mean much.
Cosy but hard as nails platformers should really become a thing again.

There better be a Rayman game in there! A Rayman 2 remaster is all I’m asking for.

I’d personally bend (2nd hand) for a new Xenoblade. I’m dying to play those games at 60fps. So the only way Nintendo could nail this is by having Switch backwards compatibility, with upgraded performance patches for all their mainline games at the very LEAST.

@SillyG So you did. My bad. Cryptomnesia. It means something was good.

Can I hand out an award for ‘most cumbersome game ever made’?

@garfreek lol glad you came to your senses! But to be fair, none of these are great so it’s not an easy choice

@SillyG No, the composition of the Japanese one is vastly superior!

Nice read, Ollie! Did a great job at convincing me.

Reminds me to give this series another chance. I always want to start with the first one but maybe this is a better choice.

That moon and tree have no shape to them. As a matter of fact, nothing has a good silhouette. Pretty lame design with not much going for it.

Does it suggest waiting for an official reveal? There are literally polls about what we think of the non confirmed designs. Make it stop!

When did this site become SpeculationLife all of a sudden?

@Haruki_NLI At least Horizon offers it as a cheaper update

Nintendo is ‘looking at pricing on a game to game basis’ again

Nintendo thinking their lawsuits gave them complete control over the industry’s biggest secret lol

Can we at least wait for the official reveal?
Or do you intend to write a second article like this once the size has been confirmed?

@MeloMan Switch 2 is going to be ‘previous gen’ at best.

I thought previous sources told NintendoLife it would win the console wars 🤣

€359 seems unlikely but who knows.

One could start to wonder if Nintendo is waiting on purpose, just to see how many lawsuits they can stack up first.

No stability = no stability jokes 😅

Yeah not buying the console if we’re getting driftcon 2.0
Already spent hundreds on a weak home console that I can’t use in handheld mode like it was intended.
They’re not stealing from me a 2nd tme

@Dirty_Croc Yeah I just wish NL would link to YT only.

And to whoever doesn’t think this guy is dangerous, just wait.

Stop linking to twitter please!!!
I know you’ll be happy to get rid of me but I’m seriously not going to come here anymore if you keep supporting the most dangerous man alive.

There is no universe in which this is a 7/10 game and Echoes of Wisdom is a 9/10 🤣

He’s working on something for Square Enix first, which will most definitely be FF17 and that’s going to break the internet like never before 🤞

These less blurry thumbnails are much better than before!
Don’t know how long it’s been changed but it really shows here.

I don’t know why but this game has everything I should love, and I still failed to finish it twice.
One time I stopped after 6 hours, then after about 20.

It got a bit too goofy in that weird ghost town and it really took me out of it.
Then after that it became a lot of backtracking through repetitive environments. But I liked many aspects of it and desperately wanted to love it.
I did enjoy Nier Replicant though. Maybe Automata should have been a shorter game.

Fantasian is hilarious for this. Everyone just offers their stuff to you.
I'm loving this game! Definitely must play for fans of Final Fantasy 7-8-9

I liked the little tribute to him in Fantasian

This is a hard one. Ys is one of my favourite franchises, but only because of the combat.
Trails I’ve never gotten into because it looks so darn generic and it doesn’t have that gameplay element that makes up for the rest.

So being an Ys fan I feel like I have to play this, but I’m afraid this won’t be antything like Ys games.

What a completely useless thing to speculate about right now. We know nothing so it might as well become a SwitchU!

I hate links to twitter videos.
I don’t want to support that dangerous idiot in any way. Not even by watching one trailer on his platform.

@DaniPooo I wouldn’t count on the Switch 2 being very powerful. Remember that Switch was already severely outdated when it released.

@DDFawfulGuy I was talking about the poll options presented here.

@DDFawfulGuy Ok but talking about how it’s different is just adding words.

So we have 6 games, three of which are the same franchise and one is not ‘actually’ HD-2D
That means we’re talking about how three different games are too much, which makes it even worse.

How is Star Ocean 2nd Story not HD-2D?
Are you just making up your own rules?
Because it’s ‘different’?

It really was one of the worst years for gaming.

The Messenger already hommaged everything there was to hommage in the best possible way.

Looks like the retro visuals are just there because the dev(s) couldn’t offer much more. Not as a clear artistic choice.

I don’t think it’s quite fair to use “gotta catch ‘em all” as a slogan, when they make it impossible to actually catch ‘em all. People offering ways to achieve what Nintendo insinuated we should, that’s not a crime worth ruining someone’s life over.
I’m not saying they should let it slide completely cause he was earning money, but a small fine and a warning seems more than appropriate for the situation.

There goes my hope of ever playing the Xenoblade games on better hardware.

Wow I needed to check back and NintendoLife actually gave Echoes of Wisdom a 9/10
That’s insane and quite hilarious 😂
How can you consider this game near perfect?
And people spend their hard earned money based on those scores.

Oops there I go again, sorry everyone!

That’s a pretty lame lineup overall. Not bad games per sé, but not many exceptionally good ones either.
I guess Metaphor should take the prize.

Edit: I know I’m taking a huge risk by not being 100% positive about echoes. I hope I’m not hurting anyone’s personal feelings this time around!

Pokemon will probably still look ugly on the next consoles. And I know, graphics aren’t everything but in Pokemon’s case it’s usually due to laziness. Something I can’t accept from a franchise that is this lucrative.
It’s almost as if they know people will buy it regardless of the effort the devs put in.
Not to mention it’s almost impossible to get a game over screen in these games.

I hope this case makes them want to take better care of their product.

Are Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi going to sue Nintendo for the blatant copies of Mononoke Hime all over TotK?
The music is almost exactly the same in some parts. Not to mention all the plot elements.
