Rhaoulos

1h30 of Seth Rogen not even pretend to be an ape... Hard pass.

The only thing to know: DK is closer to a human than Mario after seeing actual humans in Mario Odyssey.

Also we need a DK rap single sung by Miyamoto in a DK costume.

That's only a problem for people who want to be tied to digital versions. Maybe they should go physical to support competion over video game prices. If not, they have no business complaining about it.

They named the company like a shovelware. Also "next-gen"... It's annoying when used for console BS marketing, but this is even more ridiculous for an SD card.

Custom local multoplayer knockout tour with customisable lenght with possibility to go through rainbow road.
Also rainbow road in free roam. And why not a Mario galaxy inspired race, going from planet to planet. Or maybe they'll keep it for Mario Kart Universe on Switch 3.

I've raced on rainbow road at least 3 times, so I'm pretty confident I'd be in the top 8 billion players.

Charles Martinet should also be mentioned as the official Mario ambassador and former voice of so many characters.

You don't need a dedicated nuclear plant to power it, unlike their latest GPUs, that's called progress.

I'll stick the the original pro controller until I find it at a huge discount

That's a real collector's item. It would fit perfectly behind an amiibo collection.

@Spider-Kev You're right, they did with the steam machine. It went pretty much unnoticed, unlike the steam deck.

I was thinking more of the recent rumours about a new home console. Now that they have a big success with portable console, people would probably trust them with a PS6/Xbox (random name) competitor. I'd probably go for a steam console and drop playstation.

@HyruleWanderer Zelda is rather manly and a real hero, always saving the unnamed princess. I wonder why they renamed him Link in BotW.

Could it be that the Hollywood idiots think Zelda is the hero???

I wonder how much Miyamoto has to say about casting. If this goes through, there won't be a Nintendo adaptation for another 30 years.

It feels like the console market might change a lot, except for Nintendo who will never care, being the king of its niche with it's awesome IPs.

If Xbox goes full handheld/hybrid, Sony won't be alone for long, and Steam might build a home console.

I could see Miyamoto dressed as Donkey Kong holding a giant banana, peeling it and revealing a Switch 2 inside. How fun would that be?

I'm sure Nintendo has an army of shinobi. They should use them against scalpers. Not for assassination, but to make scalped items magically return to the stores without refund (and assassination if they insist on scalping again).

I don't get the aim of this app. Forcing people to install a specific app to get news means it won't reach most potential buyers. I'm not installing it, so if it's not on NL or youtube, I won't see it.

Sadly, "Potential Mass Layoff" is the most accurate name for any Embracer division. "Stained Reputation" would also work.

I want to know if you can use the TV as a giant mouse pad, making this news even more accurate.

Some publishers are trying to make game key cards look good in comparison. This is utterly ridiculous.

You don't just drop support the soon-to-be best selling console of all time. Of course they will release games they started developing, even if they release them as cross gen.

Any news on a Switch 2 upgrade? I still have it on my replay list, but he keeps announcing more content, so I'm waiting for the best time to play it

Nintendo has the weirdest job titles, like Miyamoto who's "Creative fellow ". I'm sure it means something to them, but Charles Martinet probably still has no idea what his job is as Mario ambassador.

The second player will play a banana.
It'll be the equivalent of giving your dumb little brother the unplugged controller so he'd let you play in peace.

My habits changes a decade ago when games were unfinished at launch. So I got used to wait for a big discount and enjoy a finished game.

So it's not free, yet you still are the product? Did they hire too many people from evil businesses?

At least key cards are clearly displayed on the box. Code in the box was way worse, but I'm not happy about that all digital distopia.

@vincentgoodwin There were also games like LA Noire that required a partial download because they couldn't bother to go for the bigger storage.

I don't think Genki lawyers are having a good time. They are pretty much fighting with unloaded BB guns against overtrained ninjas.

Ecco the Game Cube

And nobody saw that coming at Genki? Of course Nintendo is demanding a pound of flesh... Probably more.

@Bigmanfan I read the article quickly, but it seems Genki wasn't in business with Nintendo, so they wouldn't have signed an NDA. So this is more like corporate espionnage.

Any square game from that era deserves a proper remake. FF6, Chrono trigger Bahamut lagoon.

I never understood why they went for orange. Nintendo's and the switch's colour is red. They didn't even go for the original joycon colours. Red and blue would make much more sense.

Maybe Platinum games really wants to focus exclusively on GaaS, so the best employees are leaving this sinking ship.

@Alcea NieR is a Squeenix IP. Platinum only developed Automata.

Those 8 years of intensive training finally paid off! Now it's time to Speedrun Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour!

@Olliemar28 you should call these articles "Nintendo Life Today". I really appreciate it since I have no intention of ever installing Nintendo today.

Maybe we'll have Switch 2 enhanced labo, with slightly thicker cardboard for the low low price of 150€/set

I don't get Nintendo's communication strategy since they announced the switch 2. Nothing makes sense as they hold back useful info for no reason. Now they drip feed info through an app. I lost interest.

Nintendo can't keep up Ith modern trends. The obvious answer for the perfect launch time is "before it's ready when investors/execs who don't care about video games say so".

Given the importance of the guy at Nintendo, you'd think he already has Switch 2 for his entire extended family. This is just a masquerade.

About half of the Wii U's lifetime sales in pre-orders. Sounds like another failure like the Switch. It's been a long time coming: Nintendo is doomed.

Game key card = hard pass unless it's really cheap or the Switch 2 can be hacked easily (yes I find this digital only era annoying enough to already think about going fully free)

@PJOReilly "reportedly falling in-line with PS4/Xbox Series X levels of performance"

It's Series S, not X.

They need to create a korok amiibo. One that randomly resets one korok, remove a seed from your inventory and you'd have to find it without a single hint. It would be the most hardcore amiibo (that and not throwing it against the wall)

I would expect Nintendo to ask for millions in reparation and 3 life sentences. Their lawyers are getting lazy.

They basically locked the home button on the Pro controller 1 just to force the upgrade. Post succes Nintendo is greedy...

It looks like a bad mobile idle game.

@JohnnyMind I think you can't patent anything that is too general. Like apple tried to patent the pinch screen to zoom and were told to bugger off. But I'm not sure there are any specific limitations to what can be patented. In the end it's decided by humans with a probable hint of corruption.

So pieces made of 4 squares should be patented, but not any falling pieces. I guess a line needs to be drawn somewhere to avoid blatant copy pasted games.

They're going all out with this one. The tentative title is Super Goomba Ascend. You play a goomba that kills hordes of Toads to climb the villain ranks and be Bowser's right hand. The last boss is obviously Mario who's high on mushrooms.

I suppose microSD Express will get the "Scalper seal of approval"
