@Switching Nintendo has very much screwed things up big time before. The Wii U saga, the later years of the Switch, the Switch 2 in its early months, and so on.
By looking at these images, it is clear that Nintendo is emphasizing the large hands of the adults, implying that a Nintendo Switch 2 XL is soon to release for those whose large palms make it uncomfortable to use the normal-sized device in handheld mode.
Hopefully this’ll encourage them to release the new Animal Crossing, SSB, and traditional 3D Super Mario game sooner rather than later (and a little cut on the price of accessories would be much appreciated)
@PikminMarioKirby You still had to pay extra for the bundled games, so people chose to buy those (unless for some reason they couldn’t find the standalone console pack)
Jk it really sucks but 1) we all knew this was coming (and quite frankly I’m surprised it’s still around) 2) it’s not like this is going to hurt sales that much and 3) Mario Kart World is a pretty darn good game and shouldn’t be tossed aside just because it’s ten dollars above standard AAA pricing.
That would be comparable to raising a normally-wild animal in your home and pampering before attempting to release it into the wild. I don’t think they’ll budge
@Tasuki It said it’s the twelfth main installment, so it appears to be considered mainline and not a spin-off or side game. But at that point…why not just call it Mega Man 12?
@rallydefault Yep. People get extra docks to take with them, but since the official one is extremely overpriced (as was the original Switch dock), people look towards third parties to do the job.

Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'
If Capcom looks at the drama surrounding this game, we’ll probably never get Mega Man Legends 3

Re: Random: Nintendo Apparently Wasn't Happy About Sonic's Foot Being In Front Of Mario's Foot
Things like this make me question why people act like Nintendo hasn’t always been a petty company
Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo's Dominance Continues As Switch 2 Flies Past 4 Million Units Sold
@ButterySmooth30FPS There’s a cheaper region-locked variant in Japan, so that’s what’s probably selling
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance
@AllBLK Do we need to call EA? You know, the founding father of such a trend?
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance
Should it have been free? I dunno, probably, but for five bucks I find it hard to complain
Re: Boom! The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 Update Is Now Available
Yeah, yeah. Where’s my stability upgrade?

Re: Nintendo Accused Of Using AI Images In New 'My Mario' Marketing
Let me put my glass on 🧐
Ah, yes, I see…hmm…
By looking at these images, it is clear that Nintendo is emphasizing the large hands of the adults, implying that a Nintendo Switch 2 XL is soon to release for those whose large palms make it uncomfortable to use the normal-sized device in handheld mode.
Thus concludes my research
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Officially Reveals amiibo Functionality And Every amiibo Supported
Welp, that’s something. It might not be something interesting, but it’s something. Why do we keep acting like people buy amiibo for the functionality?
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Officially Reveals amiibo Functionality And Every amiibo Supported
@Jokerwolf …it’s a different ball design that doesn’t do anything different from the regular ball. It will hardly be a noticeable difference.

Re: Switch 2's Mario Kart World Bundle Has Apparently Reached The End Of Its Lifecycle
Oh no. How awful.
Jk it really sucks but 1) we all knew this was coming (and quite frankly I’m surprised it’s still around) 2) it’s not like this is going to hurt sales that much and 3) Mario Kart World is a pretty darn good game and shouldn’t be tossed aside just because it’s ten dollars above standard AAA pricing.

Re: Poll: Is Your Third-Party Switch 2 Dock Still Working After This Week's System Update?
@rallydefault Yep. People get extra docks to take with them, but since the official one is extremely overpriced (as was the original Switch dock), people look towards third parties to do the job.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@coolioam Because Wario’s number one
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@AndreyBoarao They’ll probably do some “they’re actually sisters” kind of shenanigan like how it was originally going to be
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
1) Same BGM for the first Movie’s reveal, which does not fit with this one
2) Where’s Wario?
3) What is going on with BJR’s voice?
4) Yep, it’s another Mario movie. So what the heck is happening?
5) Rosalina’s got the dash boots, I see. Can she wall climb, too?
