I don’t really care for Avatar but I would like to see some big hitters next year for Switch 2. We’re is Doom the Dark Ages, Diablo 4, Expedition 33, GTA 5, Tekken 8, Ninja Gaiden 4, Metaphor Refantazio etc? C’mon Nintendo, start announcing some big games. 2026 is looking a little lightweight.
Great interview but I got to the end wondering why Mr Norman didn’t ask about a Switch 2 upgrade for Doom and Doom Eternal 😭 Both games are crying out for an upgrade.
Can someone please ask Bethesda or I.D Software if they will upgrade the Doom games for Nintendo Switch 2!!
Well all good things must come to an end. Thanks Katsuhiro Harada for the great memories. Tekken 2 and 3 will always be fondly remembered by myself and many others, good luck in your future endeavours.
Juggling storage space is becoming a game in itself. Hopefully SD express cards will start to drop in price over the next few years. I would like a 1TB card but the prices are a bit steep at the moment.
They both look superb, excellent casting and a brilliant job by wardrobe and make up. I’m just wondering who will play Ganon? I have heard Idris Elba? I hope not.
I have just started playing it again so I might hold off now until the upgrade and Rockstar you better give us early adopters a upgrade option! I am not buying the game again, no way.
Nier definitely needs to be updated and please Nintendo, get in touch with ID Software and ask them to update Doom and Doom Eternal for Switch 2. I would pay cash money for graphical upgrades on both games.
It’s confusing because Nintendo are not really a direct competitor to Microsoft, Sony are but Microsoft continue to release games for PlayStation? Sea of Thieves, Ninja Gaiden 4, Halo, Killer Instinct, Hi Fi Rush, Forza, COD and Gears would sell so well on Nintendo, I don’t know why Microsoft are taking their time, don’t they need money or something?
Where is DOOM THE DARK AGES? take my money Microsoft and ID Software…
Thank you for your creations & good luck Mr Miyamoto in staying healthy for the future. Gamers want to see you at Mario’s 50th anniversary, you got this!
I’m a little disappointed, the game looks and plays fantastic but there is tons of stuff going on and it’s overwhelming. City Trial feels chaotic and it’s so fast I can barely control my machine to even gather items. Braking is actually difficult when so much is going on. I’m going to pass on this one I’m afraid, I hope it does well though. I might pick it up on sale next year.
Side-note: The water level is beautiful and it made me think how good a new Wave Rave would look on Switch 2.
Panic Button would be great choice, they were able to port Doom and Doom Eternal to Switch 1 which was a phenomenal achievement and shows just how talented they are, please ID Software can we get a Switch 2 upgrade for both games??
@HugoGED They just released the new Pokémon game with day 1 DLC, MKW feels a little underwhelming considering they are charging £80 for it. It’s needs at least a roadmap of some sort.
Mario Kart World really needs a huge DLC update, I don’t understand why they are taking so long? Maybe they are waiting for Kirby Racers to release then we will hear something?
I was due to purchase it as I had pre-ordered the Eshop version, but because Nintendo refused to refund me for a game I purchased and did not enjoy, I cancelled my pre order and all my other pre orders. The game I wanted a refund for cost £28 (Double Dragon) and because of Nintendo’s DISGRACEFUL anti consumer stance when it comes to Eshop refunds, I cancelled pre orders including Hyrule Warriors that were valued at about £300ish, so well done Nintendo…
Microsoft is dragging their feet with Switch 2. Sea of Thieves, Halo Master Chief Collection, Call of Duty, Forza Horizon, HI-FI Rush, Ninja Gaiden 4, Gears of War, Age of Empires etc they would sell millions on Switch 2, if they need money then bring the dam games out.
So much content in one game! Congratulations to Sakurai and all those involved in making this game, it’s looking like a potential game of the year. You have certainly got my money.
I don’t understand why Kirby Racers is getting so much coverage while Mario Kart World, the best selling game for Switch 2 continues to receive NO CONTENT.
I have pre ordered Kirby Racers, it looks fun, but I would definitely like to see a Mario Kart World roadmap in this direct, just show us what we can expect to see in MK World going forward into 2026.
Microsoft…What are you doing? We’re is Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi rush, Halo and Forza for Switch 2? And yes, I would buy all those games and Ninja Gaiden 4 on day 1 FULL PRICE. Don’t you want to make money Microsoft?
I have bought both, Absolum should be in contention for GOTY, it’s so addictive in co-op mode. Ball x Pit is also superb, just not played as much due to Absolum being so great and taking most of my gaming time.
Congratulations to all the developers who worked on both games. I hope both games sell millions.
P.S Devolver we have supported you, please make the Switch 2 upgrade free.
I’m so tempted by this but at £55 it’s price is putting me off. I want to support Atlus but man £55! I don’t know guys, if it was £40 it would be a day 1…
Keep the DLC coming Sega and we’re the heck is the Jet Set Radio remaster? Cmon Sega, I’m waiting an age to play one of my favourite games of all time.
Firstly condolences to the family & friends of Tomonobu Itagaki. Tomonobu was one of the few developers who I thought was genuinely cool, a real bad ass dev and someone you would like to get drunk with. His Ninja Gaiden games are some of my favourite games ever, I’m gutted to read of his passing.
I really hope that both the latest Ninja Gaiden games honour him or how about a remastered version of Dead or Alive beach volleyball?
Day 1 even though I already own and completed the game on PS4. I can’t wait to finally play the second game in the trilogy. That’s one of my most anticipated games for Switch 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece. It’s Rockstars greatest achievement to date, no Grand Theft Auto can compare to it, it’s that good. But once you have competed the main story, it’s done. The game does not really have post game content and the online is meh.
I’m not sure I would purchase this game because I have completed it already on the PS4. If you have never played it though don’t even think twice, buy it.
Arthur is such a well written character, you can’t help but root for the guy. Rockstar were very brave moving on from Jack Marston for the sequel.
I think Nintendo are getting ready to move away from their relationship with Universal Studios & illumination Studios. This is Nintendo saying we can do our own thing and release our own movies and animated series’s .
Could we eventually see a Nintendo streaming app like Disney, Netflix etc?
