Another splatfest in last place… oh well. I seem to have a knack for choosing the worst team. Even if I didn’t play this one too much, I’m so glad they’re still giving us new splatfests! Hopefully we keep getting new seasonal fests until Splatoon 4
Not really much to say here, of course he’s going to talk up the upcoming games if he works at Nintendo. Only time will tell if they live up to the hype (and the price tag).
@KritterXD I didn’t even think about that. Honestly it would make sense if Monolith helped with the MK World map, since I’m sure Nintendo trusts them with open world development after everything they’ve done
The direct itself was amazing. Sure, one more big game would’ve been nice, but Donkey Kong alone looks phenomenal.
In terms of the price… yeah. I will personally still be purchasing a Switch 2, but my hype has been dampened. I’m Canadian, so I’m not exactly chomping at the bit for $100 Nintendo games
Of course this had to be announced while I’m working through Golden… although if P3R was any indication, there’s no guarantee it will include all the content from it anyways
This is probably the best console of all time, in my opinion. Amazing library, both portable and a home console, and an incredibly fun hype cycle for the entire generation
As soon as I can ensure that all of my games are safely transferred over to Switch 2, I see no reason to keep it. I understand the sentimentality aspect, but since the two systems are so similar I’m fine with parting with it.
Considering Nintendo’s comments about maintaining their image of a more affordable system compared to its competitors it makes sense. Any more and it would be too close to the competition
Question for Rise: is it still worth buying now in 2025? I know a lot of the appeal comes from multiplayer so are servers still relatively active? I know Wilds is coming out soon but I don’t mind playing the old one, as long as there’s a decently active player base for Rise
@Paraka forgive me if my comment came off as overly harsh. I think it’s cool that they are willing to change elements of the game that have been the same for years. I was put off at first because Minecraft has been a certain way in my mind for so many years, so changing it is always going to be weird
@PikminMarioKirby honestly I’m torn. On the one hand I appreciate the newly added variety to the game, but a part of me feels like they’re losing a bit of the game’s iconic quality that made it nostalgic for so many people. Overall it’s probably a good thing though, and they’re easy enough to remove from the game via mods
I totally get this. I would have loved to play as Yoshi, but the game is just too boring when you’re invincible. Each character really should’ve had an easy and hard mode

Another key-card, huh…

There’s this one obscure game called Breath of the Wild, you may have missed it
Re: Another Fire Emblem Soundtrack Looks To Be Joining Nintendo Music
Nice, I would’ve preferred three houses but engage’s ost is pretty good. Looking forward to listening to the final boss theme and desert theme
Re: Video: 20+ Things We Still Don't Know About Switch 2
@Anti-Matter probably not unless there’s a switch 2 patch for it, which hasn’t been announced yet
Re: Nintendo Confirms Duration For Tomorrow's Mario Kart World Direct
Sounds about right. I’d expect more details on new characters, free roam (story mode??), and the full reveal of the traditional battle mode
Re: Zelda's Original Soundtrack Added To Nintendo Music, Here's Every Song Included
@Pillowpants yes!! And throw in some more Metroid and Kid Icarus while you’re at it!
Re: You Can Finally Repair Weapons In Zelda: BOTW And TOTK On Switch 2 (Sort Of)
Weapon durability never bothered me so I don’t really care. I do feel bad that many people couldn’t get into the game because of it though
Re: Team Night Takes Gold In Splatoon 3's Latest Seasonal Splatfest
@MangoMahn yep

Re: Nintendo Says "Nothing Bad" Will Happen If You Press Switch 2's C Button Without A NSO Sub
Dang and here I thought the Nintendo ninjas would come to my house if I pressed it without nso

Re: Nintendo's Bowser Comments On AI And Its Uses
@KritterXD I didn’t even think about that. Honestly it would make sense if Monolith helped with the MK World map, since I’m sure Nintendo trusts them with open world development after everything they’ve done

Is anyone really surprised?

Re: Sale Predictions Remain Unchanged Despite Switch 2 Price Concerns
Well, if true, then that’s the problem, isn’t it?
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
The direct itself was amazing. Sure, one more big game would’ve been nice, but Donkey Kong alone looks phenomenal.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Is Getting A Free Performance Upgrade On Switch 2
No Xenoblade??
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
Under normal circumstances it would be pretty bad, but with the context of the switch 2 direct literally next week it makes sense.
Re: Nintendo Spotted Preparing For Switch 2 'Hands-On' Experience, Here's A First Look
Still on the waitlist for my local event. So I’m not super confident it’s gonna happen
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
Start with Planet Robobot, end with Metroid Prime 4. Plus some other small announcements in the middle (Pikmin 4 dlc??)
Re: New Nintendo Patent Is All About 2D Visuals, But Don't Jump To Any Remake Conclusions
I’m wondering if this was for Mario Wonder, since I’m pretty sure it sued similar techniques
Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"
Well that’s… incredibly dumb. There has to be some sort of reason for this (physical soundtrack release?) because this makes no sense
Re: Forget The Lawsuit, Pocketpair Says Palworld On Switch 2 Is "100% Worth Considering"
No way Nintendo would allow that, they would sooner allow the AI slop they currently do on the eshop
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Steam Page Update Kicks Off Another Round Of Fan Speculation
GeForce Now = silksong releasing right now
Re: Random: "I'm Done" - Blindfolded Speedrunner Smashes 'Super Mario 64' Record

Re: Japanese Charts: Game About Picking Up Girls In A Dungeon Enters The Top 10
Insane title right there
Re: 'Persona 4 Reload' Seems Imminent, But We Still Need The Third Entry
Of course this had to be announced while I’m working through Golden… although if P3R was any indication, there’s no guarantee it will include all the content from it anyways
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
Kid Icarus Uprising 2, please Nintendo. With mouse mode it should actually be possible. Throw in an uprising remaster as well while you’re at it!
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo Switch Launched On This Day Eight Years Ago
This is probably the best console of all time, in my opinion. Amazing library, both portable and a home console, and an incredibly fun hype cycle for the entire generation
Re: Gex Trilogy Confirms Summer 2025 Switch Release, Here's The Official Trailer
Oh man I love Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash and Chibi Robo Zip Lash!!
Re: Talking Point: Can Nintendo Keep Up The One-Game-A-Month Release Pace On Switch 2?
As long as they continue to develop a handful of games with smaller budgets and scopes in addition to the triple-A titles, it is absolutely possible.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
As soon as I can ensure that all of my games are safely transferred over to Switch 2, I see no reason to keep it. I understand the sentimentality aspect, but since the two systems are so similar I’m fine with parting with it.
Re: Metroid Prime First 4 Figures 'Samus Phazon Suit' Pre-Orders Now Live
Putting ‘Metroid Prime’ and ‘4’ in the title is just cruel…
Re: Nintendo Will "Likely" Price The Switch 2 At $399, Says Analyst
Considering Nintendo’s comments about maintaining their image of a more affordable system compared to its competitors it makes sense. Any more and it would be too close to the competition
Re: Nintendo Is Discontinuing Gold Points, One Of The Switch's Best Incentives
As long as they revamp the eshop all is forgiven…
But seriously, this sucks
Re: Funko Fusion Is Deemed A "Complete Commercial And Critical Failure"
It’s always sad seeing considerable resources dumped into a project that basically anyone could tell you would be a complete failure
Re: Can You Name These Zelda: Majora's Mask Masks?
24/24
I’m honestly surprised since it’s been a while since I’ve played
Re: Save On Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Mega Man With Capcom's eShop Sale (US)
@HugoGED @Reztobi good to know! The discount for the game + dlc seems like a steal to me so maybe I’ll bite.
Re: Save On Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Mega Man With Capcom's eShop Sale (US)
Question for Rise: is it still worth buying now in 2025? I know a lot of the appeal comes from multiplayer so are servers still relatively active? I know Wilds is coming out soon but I don’t mind playing the old one, as long as there’s a decently active player base for Rise
Re: Nintendo Is Developing New Mobile Game Apps, Unsurprisingly
Still can’t believe we haven’t gotten a Splatoon mobile game yet. They could basically make it any genre and it would probably work
Re: Talking Point: Where Should 'Luigi's Mansion 4' Take Place?
Although I wouldn’t want Super Nintendo World, I think a theme park setting would be great. There’s a lot you can do with that
Re: Rumour: Switch 2 Game Cases Might Take Up More Space On Your Shelf
Considering the ‘everything is bigger’ marketing angle they seem to be going for I could see this.

I wasn’t selected. Apparently there’s a wait list option but I’m not holding my breath
Re: Opinion: My Daughter Made Me Realise That Mario Wonder's Difficulty Options Need Work
I totally get this. I would have loved to play as Yoshi, but the game is just too boring when you’re invincible. Each character really should’ve had an easy and hard mode
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Another SNES Banger, Here's Every Song Included
It was inevitable. Even if it’s a soundtrack I don’t really care at all about, it really should have been here by now so it’s good it’s here
Re: 'Sonic Jam' Skin Is Now Free For All Owners Of Sonic X Shadow Generations
It’s a pretty great skin, but I don’t want to be known as the guy who owns the Sonic Jam skin when I’m dead.
Re: Registration For The 'Nintendo Switch 2 Experience' Begins Soon
@HotGoomba personally I’ll be waiting for the Switch 2 Pro experience
