SplatRay001

Another key-card, huh…

Pay 5 more dollars and you can buy hollow knight, just saying

There’s this one obscure game called Breath of the Wild, you may have missed it

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

@Anti-Matter probably not unless there’s a switch 2 patch for it, which hasn’t been announced yet

Sounds about right. I’d expect more details on new characters, free roam (story mode??), and the full reveal of the traditional battle mode

@Pillowpants yes!! And throw in some more Metroid and Kid Icarus while you’re at it!

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

@MangoMahn yep

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

Dang and here I thought the Nintendo ninjas would come to my house if I pressed it without nso

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

Is anyone really surprised?

My ranking:
1: XC3
2: XC1
3: XC3 FR
4: XC2
5: XC1 FC

I haven’t finished Torna or X yet

Well, if true, then that’s the problem, isn’t it?

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

No Xenoblade??

Under normal circumstances it would be pretty bad, but with the context of the switch 2 direct literally next week it makes sense.

Still on the waitlist for my local event. So I’m not super confident it’s gonna happen

Start with Planet Robobot, end with Metroid Prime 4. Plus some other small announcements in the middle (Pikmin 4 dlc??)

I’m wondering if this was for Mario Wonder, since I’m pretty sure it sued similar techniques

Well that’s… incredibly dumb. There has to be some sort of reason for this (physical soundtrack release?) because this makes no sense

No way Nintendo would allow that, they would sooner allow the AI slop they currently do on the eshop

GeForce Now = silksong releasing right now

I’m not even sure if I could beat 1-1 from Super Mario Bros blindfolded…

Insane title right there

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

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!

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

Oh man I love Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash and Chibi Robo Zip Lash!!

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.

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.

Putting ‘Metroid Prime’ and ‘4’ in the title is just cruel…

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

As long as they revamp the eshop all is forgiven…

But seriously, this sucks

It’s always sad seeing considerable resources dumped into a project that basically anyone could tell you would be a complete failure

24/24

I’m honestly surprised since it’s been a while since I’ve played

@HugoGED @Reztobi good to know! The discount for the game + dlc seems like a steal to me so maybe I’ll bite.

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

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

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

Considering the ‘everything is bigger’ marketing angle they seem to be going for I could see this.

@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 wasn’t selected. Apparently there’s a wait list option but I’m not holding my breath

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

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

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.

@HotGoomba personally I’ll be waiting for the Switch 2 Pro experience
