No pre-order but I'm picking it up early tomorrow morning first thing. 18 years of waiting is finally at an end. Corruption is old enough to vote next year.
Great Direct, really good dive into the game. I wish more Directs were this in-depth (Metroid Prime 4 please). But Kirby Air Riders is just a game I have no interest in.
No Oceania participation makes me think there will not be any Oceania servers for the final release, like most MMOs. If this game is as heavily online as I think it will be that's as bummer for Australians.
@YoshiAngemon I think the point is that this will be a live service game, and they need to test their server network for player load in a live environment. I almost guarantee they've been doing that kind of in-house testing for a while before this was announced.
@Goat_FromBOTW If you listen to Charles' voice lately he sounds much rougher and deeper. I wouldn't be surprised if he just can't reach the same pitch or have the same vocal range he used to.
If you can't connect with a character unless they are "representing" you, that speaks volumes about your lack of empathy, not mine for not caring whether a character is or isn't an ism.
I really prefer if they'd have some kind of way of changing system themes in these rewards. Changing the background of the Home Menu, changing the theme music or the sound font used for system actions, things like that. Avatars are cool but it could be so much more...

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Updated To Version 2.0.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Has the motion sickness with the FOV been addressed in any of the patches?
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
No, I played Galaxy 1 on Switch and hated the way they implemented the motion controls so I'm not bothering with this re-release at all.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Box Art Officially Revealed For Switch 2
The robot figure in the cloak is clearly a Link robot.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Updated To Version 2.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Any word on whether camera movement and placement has been adjusted for people who got motion sick?
Re: PSA: Switch Online Offering "Two Bonus Months" With 12-Month Memberships (Europe)
Will this apply if my subscription automatically renews this month? Or do I have to do it manually?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Harvest Moon (SNES)
The European art has a great aesthetic.
Completely misses the tone of the game but it gets my vote.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Great Direct, really good dive into the game. I wish more Directs were this in-depth (Metroid Prime 4 please).
But Kirby Air Riders is just a game I have no interest in.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Super Adventure Island (SNES)
Japan for the skeletal dinosaur!
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The Super Mario Wood Block Sets, Doubling As amiibo
Are they unique Amiibo scans or just woodblock versions of the existing Mario line of figures?
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
Likely an MS announcement of some kind, perhaps Rareware Collection or even MCC on Switch 2.
Re: Switch Port Specialist Virtuos Confirms 270 Layoffs
Hopefully it was just useless bureaucratic HR bloat that was let go.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Playtest Program Returning, Includes Switch 2 Support
No Oceania participation makes me think there will not be any Oceania servers for the final release, like most MMOs. If this game is as heavily online as I think it will be that's as bummer for Australians.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
I'm more worried about the field of view because it seems fairly narrow in DKB and that can cause motion sickness.
Re: Street Fighter 6 Releasing Final 'Year 2' Fighter Alongside Switch 2 Game Launch
Still no Sagat.
Very sad. T_T
Re: Zelda's Got Nothing On Divine Dynamo Flamefrit's Grass-Cutting Mechanic
Inticreates is consistently good, oftentimes great. I'll definitely keep an eye on this one.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Playtest Is Already Being Streamed, Unsurprisingly
@YoshiAngemon I think the point is that this will be a live service game, and they need to test their server network for player load in a live environment.
I almost guarantee they've been doing that kind of in-house testing for a while before this was announced.
Re: Random: Mario's New Voice Actor Says It's "Surreal" To Hear His Voice In Mario Party
@Goat_FromBOTW If you listen to Charles' voice lately he sounds much rougher and deeper. I wouldn't be surprised if he just can't reach the same pitch or have the same vocal range he used to.
Re: Capcom Outlines Its 'Tokyo Game Show 2024' Online Program
I know it's not on Nintendo hardware (yet) but I'm really hoping for some Dragons Dogma 2 DLC news.
Re: More Developers Announce Their Tokyo Game Show 2024 Lineups
I'm hoping for some Dragon's Dogma 2 news, hopefully some DLC. And perhaps a hint that it's coming to the Switch 2.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Producer Leaves Ubisoft Milan After "16 Incredible Years"
I hope there are more Mario XCOM-style games but without the goddamned rabbids. I hate them so much.
Re: Switch On Track To Surpass PS2's Lifetime Sales In The US
When the Switch 2 is released and the OG Switch gets a drastic price cut it will be over for Sony's precious and miraculously growing record.
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Receives Another Switch Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
"Localization issues". Yeah there were a few of those. Glad they're getting fixed. Has anyone found anything specific that's been adjusted?
Re: Leaker 'Pyoro' Locks Account After Claiming Their Source Works For Nintendo
Jason Schreier being a scumbag is nothing new. He's the epitome of games journalist and I do not mean that in a nice way.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Needs More Characters Like Paper Mario's Vivian
If you can't connect with a character unless they are "representing" you, that speaks volumes about your lack of empathy, not mine for not caring whether a character is or isn't an ism.
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Team Gearing Up For "Major Switch Patch Announcement"
Hopefully they patch the horrendous localisation too.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch Online Icons Return Next Week

Re: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Will Restore Missing Posters In Patch 3
"We're sorry we got caught."
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?
I'll wait for a sale. It's a good game but it has to be a GREAT game for me to pay full price these days.
