Sony didn’t just randomly add 5 million to the total lifetime sales of PS2, the 155 million was just an estimate. There were already reports of it having sold around 160 million before Sony confirmed it

@Aquinas You say that like the originals don’t look a million times more lifeless

Only ones that definitely look worse imo are Zelda and Darunia. Everyone else looks much better

16/21, got the ones I had seen before

Christmas in September

Tell me this is an early April Fools’ joke. This cannot be real

Edit: “While Nintendo absorbed most of the tariff-related costs…”

Ah, there’s the attitude

Ah, yes, the game that people say should have been a pack-in even though barely anybody would play it more than twice

Best takeaway from the direct for me.

@Penguinpengy What site are you looking at? I can’t find anything saying it’s a key card

Mario Kart World haters: “Oh, I…I thought you were dead.”

“…well you thought wrong, idiot.”

I have already been groomed into seeing a price tag of $60USD and thinking “that’s it?”

Edit: $70 physically. Hmm, I’d have to see the size first

@Kiyata New Horizons had Covid to thank for that milestone

Game looks awesome, everything else gets a “that’s cool”. Not a Zelda nut, but the lack of movie footage definitely hurts. 7/10

Yeah, this 1000% a cheap way to get attention. They’ve made it clear they aren’t putting non-Mario related characters in MKWorld, unless they now consider Star Fox to fit in? Either way, I ain’t buying this

Please don’t be as controversial as the last one 🙏

You know what? I’m going to shake things up. Here are my predictions for what’s not going to get revealed:

Tekken 8 NS2 (reverse psychology)

A new 3D Mario (they’ll probably save it for the next one)

A new Smash Bros. (maybe next year)

A new Mario Party (definitely next year)

Mario Kart World DLC (they’re probably going to keep doing the simple updates for now)

A port of the Lego Movie Video Game (it would steal the show)

Baseball in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort (launch surprise)

A Nintendo villain dating simulator (too much Wario)

M&Ms Kart Racing 2 (some things are best left forgotten)

Hopefully this way I can actually be correct for once

I swear to God there’s at least five articles a day that are filled with comments complaining about GKCs. How the actual heck do you expect them to fit these games onto 64gb cards? Either way, you’d still have to download most of it, which defeats the purpose of physical media

@20thCenturyFrox Like backwards compatibility doesn’t exist

@20thCenturyFrox Yeah, like 15 years from now. When there will be an even better version available on modern platforms.

Ugh, I have no idea if I could get through Rebirth before then. Haven’t even bought an it yet, but Star Fox and OoT are calling my name. Plus, I’ve barely gotten through the Battle Network and Star Force collections

Welcome back, Mario Kart World hate

Because a Nintendo Direct happening in September is something you’d never expect

@AussieMcBucket You’re right, the wording just confused me

It’s not even out yet. What the heck is the point? And no, I’m not just saying that because I’m mad they didn’t pick Mega Man

The real question is: is this a collaboration, or an invasion?

Hopefully it wasn’t super effective

Sweet! I might check these out

“Inspired by Mega Man Dual Override”

This looks nothing like Mega’s design in that game. Why not just say Mega Man in general?

I’m hyped, but I hope they add voices

Let’s see those sets first before we jump to conclusions

Mine will be getting Virtual Boys whether they dislike it or hate it

@MADLUDWIG11 Aside from Pokémon and the Mario Sports titles

Oh boy, 70s style Robot Anime Geppy-X! How appealing!

@AmplifyMJ I think you replied to the wrong comment

@Yoshi3 You dare disrespect the King of Suave?!

Preposterous. It’ll never happen

I honestly think they shouldn’t have started the thing in general

100/10 it has Donkey Kong Jr. Math

I just bought Mario Party 10 from them. Clearly something’s not adding up

So that’s what her Mega Man cosplay was teasing. Maybe we’ll get a collab between the two franchises?

@Ctrl_Alt_Delete Yeah, Nintendo seems to be the only market where physical games are still a decent portion of their profit, so I hope they take advantage of it (of course that means they’ll raise the prices, but at this point people would just have to suck it up instead of whining. You want full physical options, you’re going to have to pay for them)

800,000 visitors for a Nintendo museum that’s been open for a year and a half doesn’t seem that crazy to me. I know they’re actively trying to prevent it from being a cluster fest, so that’s probably why it’s not like 50 million. Also, allowing us to purchase retro games from the eShop again would be a nice treat (though I’d still probably just stick to Nintendo Classics for the most part)

@GoldenSunRM Nope. They rewrote Zero to fit with X6, and pretty much anything that people pointed out as contradictions (like Zero sealing himself in X6) were cleared with the ol’ “we didn’t specify when that happened”, so all X games after 5 are still considered canon

I’m betting on a remake of the first X game since actually continuing the story would be difficult since 8 had a cliffhanger ending that couldn’t be ignored. I know we got MHX, but that looks like more of an alternative to the original rather than a full remake

@Friendly I think that’s only the case with the Nintendo Switch versions. I’ve seen physical releases for the PS4 versions, even for the ones that didn’t get any on Switch

Nester will have his revenge

@Anti-Matter So you think the Switch 2 is trash because of key-cards yet still cheer for the PS5 even though it’s confirmed that Sony’s dropping physical games entirely in 2028? Makes perfect sense

@8bit-Man At least the quality of games is far better than the film industry as far as I can tell. We’re fine, we just need to stop looking back at the past with rose-tinted glasses

I don’t even care so long as you can still flat out buy games and the quality remains the same

I know it’s been complained about numerous times, but I’m sick of everything getting leaked. A lot of exciting announcements have been significantly deflated because of them lately. Also, the Prime games aren’t mainline? That doesn’t make much sense. Why is stuff like Super Mario 64 considered mainline then?

@Lanmanna Examples?
