Just give me the Mario 35 game again.

@Markatron84

😂

@Markatron84

That's numberwang!

@Novuscourvous

Let's wait and see.

Congrats to them.

More Retro videos is excellent news.

@PineappleLake

Nintendo apparently requests any videos on the Directs are a proper representation of the games running on Switch. And rightly so.

To me this is confirmation of a proper Nintendo Direct next week. To confirm release dates for all the games in attendance that don't have one yet.

That really is quite pathetic.

@Yalloo

A proper team effort!

Unfortunately I can't see this doing well and being very bad for Playtonic.

Bottom line is their third game being a remaster of their first game is simply not very clever.

I hope to be proven wrong and it is a massive success for them but just can't see it.

A 2D game that can't even hold a steady 30fps should not be getting an 8.

Silksong will be saved for a proper Direct.

Unacceptable for a 2d game.

Just being able to put all the L and R functions on ZL and ZR will be great without having to go into system wide control mapping.

Work wonders with Killer Instinct as well!

Now how about getting rid of those awful borders for standard black ones?

@Hwatt

The console market has changed a lot in such a short space of time.

It is why I love that Nintendo still do the console stuff traditionally i.e. release hardware and offer quality first party titles to encourage you to buy their platform.

Even Sony seem to have forgotten that chasing the live service trend.

Xbox as a console platform is barely clinging on. But Nintendo will reap the benefits as Xbox games will likely jump to Switch 2.

@Hwatt

No probs. As for the other concerns you raised. Don't waste your time worrying about things you have no control over.

If you think a game or srrvice is too expensive don't pay the money. But worrying about stuff like ongoing legal battles and patents etc? Forget that stuff.

@Hwatt

I mean, what do you want them to do? De-list Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

It's one of the most popular games of all time. Probably still be selling when Switch 3 comes out.

Impressive performance. Based on this very interested to see how the next NBA2K and Fifa (it's still Fifa to me dammit!) games play.

@johnedwin

Are you being deliberately dense?

Mario Kart World is sold in a Switch 2 bundle that makes up the vast majority of Switch 2 sales.

If Switch 2 sells 500 thousand units then so does MKW.

@johnedwin

Is that the US where Switch 2 just had a record launch beating PS4 by a good half a million? And where the Switch 2 and Switch 1 were the 1st and 3rd best selling systems in June 25 respectively?

Does it hurt?

Well basically Mario Kart World is going to match near what the Switch 2 sells every week as it is part of the Switch 2 bundle so going to be hard for any game to top it for a while.

Strong start for Donkey Kong.

Switch 2 only is a bit odd. Probably just trying to get that "new console exclusive" sales before arriving on every other platform known to man in 6 months.

Leaving original mode untouched visually is just lazy. Especially if Nintendo are charging the same for Switch 2 game as MKW.

@Pillowpants

We are all our own self fulfilling prophecies!

@Pillowpants

Got you (and me) clicking and commenting on the article.

That's why.

They are absolutely making a new "Hey You, Pikachu" game. Microphone built into the Switch 2 system, makes sense.

Need a 6 button pad for fighting games.

Hori where are you?!

@ButterySmooth30FPS

Cheers, interesting.

Must be an American thing as never heard of it in the UK

What's a liquidation store?

@electrolite77

Very unusual to launch a console in June.

Uncharted territories!

@Fighting_Game_Loser

Can't recall anyone ever saying there will be a Direct on a montg.

Everything looks glorious on a CRT.

@Cotter1

Or fools in denial of there being problems which is incredibly common at a new consoles launch.

@Spider-Kev

They finally gave up a few months ago.

@Orwellian87

It is affecting developers/publishers who had/have a history with Nintendo.

Not difficult to figure out.

Bunch of scumbags.

Direct incoming.

@sethfranum

What made you laugh? Your hypocrisy?

255 comments in just over a month.

Surprised you find time to even play any games.

@sethfranum

You sound unhinged.

You are aware that Street Fighter 6 on Series S has a bug which is why it looks worse than even the PS4 version in some respects.

Or did you not do your research?

@FormerGameAddict

OLED for Switch 2 would have been amazing but people would baulk at the price.

Made more sense to wait a few years and offer it as an upgrade option.

@electrolite77

According to some sensitive folks Digital Foundry apparently hates Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony whilst at the same time loving Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

@wizzgamer

So if it wasn't for features it does have and things beyond its control it would have failed?

Okey dokey.

Nah won't be that long.

Great game that deserved to sell better.

Hopefully gets a Switch 2 boost.

Yeah that was outstanding.

@IceClimbersMain

Not at all Nintendo has constantly had mini Directs or Indie Directs then had a big Direct following a few days/week after.

Maybe he can explain why Wild Hearts S looks like ass then.

Shin'en are awesome!

A resolution update for The Touryst would be very welcome too.
